Feared and revered, the wolf has been admired as a powerful hunter and symbol of the wild and reviled for its danger to humans and livestock. Garry Marvin reveals in Wolf how the ways in which wolves are imagined has had far-reaching implications for how actual wolves are treated by humans. Indigenous hunting societies originally respected the wolf as a fellow hunter, but with the domestication of animals the wolf became regarded as an enemy due to its attacks on livestock. Wolves, as a result, developed a reputation as creatures of evil. In children’s literature, they were depicted as the intruder from the wild who preys on the innocent. And in popular culture, the wolf became the creature that evil humans can transform into—the dreaded werewolf. Fear of this enigmatic creature, Marvin shows, led to an attempt to eradicate it as a species. However, with the development of scientific understanding of wolves and their place in ecological systems and the growth of popular environmentalism, the wolf has been rethought and reimagined. The wolf now has a legion of new supporters who regard it as a charismatic creature of the newly valued wild and wilderness. Marvin investigates the latest scientific understanding of the wolf, as well as its place in literature, history, and folklore, offering insights into our changing attitudes towards wolves.

Michiel Schwarz and Joost Elffers' Sustainism Is the New Modernism declares the dawn of a new cultural era, as we transition from modernity to sustainity--towards a world that is more connected, more localist, more digital and more sustainable. As the authors of this clear-eyed manifesto argue, "sustainism marks a shift not only in thinking and doing but in collective perception--of how we live, do business, feed ourselves, design, travel and communicate, as much as how we deal with nature." In the twentieth century, whether we knew it or not, our world was shaped by modernist values, from the design of our cities to our homes, technologies and our conceptions of progress. Sustainism recasts our relationship to all of these things, binding ecological issues to a larger picture of our world. Through a series of graphically dynamic aphorisms, quotes and symbols designed for worldwide use by businesses, individuals and institutions, to signal support for sustainism, Michiel Schwarz and Joost Elffers show how the movement is already reshaping global culture, technology, food and media. With this concise manifesto, they launch the term sustainism into the public consciousness. The sustainist era has begun.

Weinreb (1910-1988), a Jew, was born in Lvov; his family fled to the Netherlands during World War I. He became an economist and senior staff member of the Nederlands Economisch Instituut. At the time of the Nazi occupation, he had a wife and two daughters. In November 1941, Weinreb lost his job due to the anti-Jewish measures. He then started an emigration swindle, telling Jews in distress that he had permission from the Nazis to organize Jewish emigration to unoccupied France and Portugal; he charged 100 guilders per adult. The Nazis arrested him in September 1942; after three days he was freed. He then became an informer for the Nazis. After the liberation he was accused of betrayal and arrested; he was sentenced to six years in prison, but was released after two months. In the 1950s, he was appointed professor of economics in Jakarta, and then in Ankara. He was involved in scandals relating to Dutch-Indonesian politics and false representation of himself as a gynecologist. However, he developed a following due to his charismatic personality, and became a type of "guru". In the 1960s a furor arose in the Netherlands as to whether Weinreb was a wartime hero (as he described himself in his memoirs) or a collaborator. In 1976, after a thorough investigation, the RIOD published a report concluding that he was a liar and a swindler, and that his collaboration with the Germans had resulted in 70 deaths. Examines Weinreb's life and personality - his fantasies, deceit and credibility - and his interaction with the groups he dealt with - the persecuted, his defenders, civil servants, his "patients", and the social critics.

"Kate Atkinson's dazzling Life After Life, one of the top selling adult books of 2014, explored the possibility of infinite chances, as Ursula Todd lived through the turbulent events of the last century again and again. In A God in Ruins, Atkinson turns her focus on Ursula's beloved younger brother Teddy would-be poet, RAF bomber pilot, husband and father as he navigates the perils and progress of the 20th century. For all Teddy endures in battle, his greatest challenge will be to face living in a future he never expected to have. A God in Ruins is a masterful companion to Life After Life, and will prove once again that Kate Atkinson is one of the finest novelists of our age."
