'Exhilarating' Financial Times'A profound meditation on how and why democracy must keep its faith in the future and the future must keep its faith in democracy' David RuncimanDemocracy is future-oriented and self-correcting: today's problems can be solved, we are told, in tomorrow's elections. But the biggest issues facing the modern world - from climate collapse and pandemics to recession and world war - each apparently bring us to the edge of the irreversible. What happens to democracy when the future seems no longer open?In this eye-opening history of ideas, Jonathan White investigates how politics has long been directed by shifting visions of the future, from the birth of ideologies in the nineteenth century to Cold War secrecy and the excesses of the neoliberal age.As an inescapable sense of disaster defines our politics, White argues that a political commitment to the long-term may be the best way to safeguard democracy. Wide in scope and sharply observed, In the Long Run is a history of the future that urges us to make tomorrow new again.

In Britain, at least, the partitioned have learned to speak frankly of the pastand to search for ways to reckon with it' Wall Street Journal ________________________ Newly revised for the seventy-fifth anniversary of partition, Kavita Puri conducts a vital reappraisal of empire, revisiting the stories of those collected in the 2017 edition and reflecting on recent developments in the lives of those affected by partition. The division of the Indian subcontinent in 1947 into India and Pakistan saw millions uprooted and resulted in unspeakable violence. It happened far away, but it would shape modern Britain. Dotted across homes in Britain are people who were witnesses to one of the most tumultuous events of the twentieth century. But their memory of partition has been shrouded in silence. In her eye-opening and timely work, Kavita Puri uncovers remarkable testimonies from former subjects of the Raj who are now British citizens including her own father.

Glimmer of The Other Blurb: I can tell when you're lying. Every. Single. Time. I'm Jinx. As a private investigator, being a walking, talking lie detector is a useful skill - but let's face it, it's not normal. You'd think it would make my job way too easy, but even with my weird skills, I still haven't been able to track down my parent's killers. When I'm hired to find a missing university student, I hope to find her propped up at a bar - yet my gut tells me there's more to this case than a party girl gone wild. Firstly, she's a bookish soul who's as likely to go off the rails as Mother Theresa. Secondly, I'm not the only one on her trail; she's also being tracked by the implacable and oh-so-sexy Inspector Stone. Stone and I team up, and he shoves me into a realm where magic is real - a place where there are vampires and werewolves, dragons and trolls. And where my skills are more than just detecting lies... Oh, and my dog? He's a freaking hell hound who can manipulate the magical realms themselves. I need to find the girl. I need to discover who killed my parents. And I need to find out more about the attractive but mysterious Zachary Stone... Except: 'What about porn?' I asked innocently. The car swerved. 'Christ,' Stone muttered. 'What about porn?' 'Is there like ... vampire on dragon action?' He squeezed the bridge of his nose. 'God, I hope not. For one thing, they're sworn enemies.' He slid me a glance before looking away quickly. 'Cross-species relationships exist in the Other.' He cleared his throat. 'So there is cross-species porn. Not that I've seen any.' Lie. 'Truth seeker,' I said in a sing-song voice. He reddened. After a minute he said, 'I investigated an illegal porn ring. I had to watch it to review the evidence.' He sounded extremely awkward, but his words rang with truth. Hmmm. 'But did you ever watch it on any other occasion?' He didn't answer, and I snickered. He turned the music on, and I laughed louder. 'You know, having a partner is kind of fun,' I teased. 'Is that what we are, Jinx? Partners?' He turned on the smoulder, his gaze hot and heavy. Description: Fans of Annette Marie, Helen Harper and Kim Richardson will love this series. This is a fun urban fantasy mystery novel featuring a women sleuth, with vampires, hell hounds and dragon shifters.

Das Leben über den Dächern der Stadt hat seinen ganz eigenen Reiz: der weite Blick, das besondere Licht, das Gefühl, zugleich entrückt und geborgen zu sein. Penthouse Syndrome spürt genau dieser Faszination nach - und zeigt, wie die Höhe Räume, Maßstäbe und Gewohnheiten verändert. Mal skulptural inszeniert, mal reduziert und minimalistisch: Die hier vorgestellten Interieurs erzählen von der Spannung zwischen Architektur und Emotion. Sie machen sichtbar, wie Wohnen in der Höhe neue Formen von Intimität und Perspektive eröffnet.
"When Tobias and his friends were given the power to morph, they were also given an important warning: Never stay in a morph for more than two hours. But Tobias broke the time limit, and now he's trapped in the body of a hawk -- forever. When he discovers an important Yeerk secret, Tobias knows he has to do everything in his power to destroy it. But to do so, he'll have to contend with a part of himself that's wrestling for dominion. A part that isn't human. For Tobias, the fight against the Yeerks is more pressing than ever -- not just for humankind, but for his own humanity."--Provided by publisher.
Die Kunsthalle Mannheim widmet dem österreichischen Künstler Constantin Luser eine umfassende Werkschau, die Zeichnung als vibrierendes Kontinuum zwischen Idee, Raum und Klang erfahrbar macht. Lusers Werk entfaltet sich in einem Dreiklang von Präsenz und Absenz: Aus der ersten Geste auf Papier entstehen dreidimensionale Liniengebilde aus Draht und Metall, die schließlich als Schatten und Resonanzen in den Raum hinein weiterwirken. Zeichnung, Skulptur und Klang verschmelzen zu einem offenen System, das Wahrnehmung, Körper und Imagination miteinander verbindet. Seine Linien wachsen, verschlingen sich, verwandeln sich - als feine Arabesken, als kommunizierende Röhren, als gefrorene Signale unsichtbarer Kräfte. Sie sind Material und Energie zugleich, Ausdruck einer Bewegung, die sich der Schwerkraft widersetzt und das Denken hörbar macht. Dabei versteht Luser die Zeichnung nicht als Skizze, sondern als Haltung: als unhierarchische, dialogische Form, die Verbindung stiftet statt Grenzen zu ziehen - ein leises Plädoyer für Resonanz in einer lauten Welt. Mit Form, Klang & Stille führt die Kunsthalle Mannheim ihre Reihe radikaler Neupositionierungen der Zeichnung fort und zeigt, wie die Linie sich vom Papier löst, Raum und Klang erobert - und in ständiger Bewegung bleibt.
