Who Shot Van Gogh?
Fact or fiction? An imaginative collection of statements about Vincent van Gogh that challenges what we think we know about the artist's much mythologized existence.
Van Gogh is the most famous artist in the world, yet our understanding of his life is full of contradictions. Art historians, filmmakers, journalists, psychologists and conspiracy theorists have offered theories on his life and work, yet their views are often poles apart. Van Gogh has been described as a suffering genius, a madman, the embodiment of peace and compassion, a man of violence who was a danger to himself and others, a religious fanatic and a Marxist. Where does the truth lie and the myth begin?
This book examines the continual rewriting of Van Gogh's story since the first publications on the artist appeared at the beginning of the twentieth century. Presenting a collage of succinct facts and 'counterfacts', the text is drawn from a wide field of sources: fellow artists, friends and family, doctors and psychoanalysts, actors and writers, theorists, crackpots and scholars. Conflicting statements go hand in hand with an unconventional curation of images, which include postcards of locations associated with the artist, photographs of a fraudster's legal trial, a children's toy, a bottle label and a rusty revolver.
Turnbull presents a kaleidoscope of fact and fiction about the world's most discussed artist - sometimes funny, sometimes heartrending, always revealing - giving readers new insights into the artist, his work and his legacy. Van Gogh himself would be amazed not only to see what people have said about him, but also to grasp the global phenomenon that he has become. A must-have for art lovers and museumgoers, this book invites all readers familiar with Van Gogh to challenge long-accepted ideas about the man and his work.
Separation Anxiety
If you've ever wondered whether you love your dog more than your partner...
Life hasn't gone according to Judy's plan. Her career as a children's book author has taken a nose dive. Her teenage son Teddy treats her with a combination of embarrassment and indifference. She has 'separated' from her husband, Gary, who is living in the basement as they can't afford a divorce. And every day she has to write content for an uplifting self-help website while stalking her nemesis online - a creativity-lifestyle-coach guru with a social media following the size of Jupiter. All Judy wants is to not feel invisible. All she wants is to fill that space inside her. And when she decides to declutter the house, she hits on a radical solution...
Gleefully irreverent, tender, funny and uplifting, Separation Anxiety is a book filled with happiness and heart. A novel about the connections we make, the people we love and the joyful messiness of life.

Minority Policies in Central and Eastern Europe in Comparative Perspective
In this collective monograph we have contributions on Poland, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Roma minority, the question of civic and ethnic nationalism, the phenomenon of antisemitism, and on the theoretical and perhaps practical possibility of Christianity being a way to help achieve a greater measure of interethnic and ethnopolitical peace. When we look back at the nine chapters presented in this volume, we observe that there are notable differences between various minority issues and bettween the different countries discussed. But there are also aspects which these countries and their problems share in common. Central and Eastern Europe are known for their long-standing national-minority problems and the historical antagonisms between different nations or national groups. The chapters have highlighted both old and new aspects of the minority problem.

Our Bodies, Their Battlefield
From award-winning war reporter and co-author of I Am Malala, this is the first major account to address the scale of rape and sexual violence in modern conflict.
Christina Lamb has worked in war and combat zones for over thirty years. In Our Bodies, Their Battlefield she gives voice to the women of conflicts, exposing how in today's warfare, rape is used by armies, terrorists and militias as a weapon to humiliate, oppress and carry out ethnic cleansing.
Speaking to survivors first-hand, Lamb encounters the suffering and bravery of women in war and meets those fighting for justice. From Southeast Asia where 'comfort women' were enslaved by the Japanese during World War Two to the Rwandan genocide, when an estimated quarter of a million women were raped, to the Yazidi women and children of today who witnessed the mass murder of their families before being enslaved by ISIS. Along the way Lamb uncovers incredible stories of heroism and resistance, including the Bosnian women who have hunted down more than a hundred war criminals, the Aleppo beekeeper rescuing Yazidis and the Congolese doctor who has risked his life to treat more rape victims than anyone else on earth.
Rape may be as old as war but it is a preventable crime. Bearing witness does not guarantee it won't happen again, but it can take away any excuse that the world simply didn't know.

Das bringt Ihnen dieses Buch: Sie unterstützen zertifizierte Klimaschutz-Projekte, erhalten schnell kompakte Informationen und Checklisten von Experten (Übersicht und Pressestimmen in der Buchvorschau) sowie in der Praxis erprobte Ratschläge, die auch dank AddOn Schritt für Schritt zum Erfolg führen. Denn in unserer Gesellschaft sehen sich viele Menschen nach Helden, das haben die jüngsten Krisen deutlich gezeigt. Doch besser ist es, den Helden oder die Heldin in uns selbst zu finden. Leider fehlt vielen Menschen der Glaube an sich selbst, an die eigenen Stärken Potenziale & Fähigkeiten. Grundsätzlich gilt: Wer mutig und heldenhaft ist, wird auch erreichen, wovon er träumt. Und das bezieht sich auf alle Aspekte des Lebens gleichermaßen vom finanziellen bis hin zu emotionalen Bereichen. Denn Erfolg ist für jeden anders definiert. Doch oft hindern uns bestehende Muster und erlernte Verhaltensweisen daran, zum Helden unseres Lebens zu werden. Oft fehlt es an Selbstbewusstsein, Selbstliebe oder auch einer materiellen Sicherheit. Doch jeder kann es schaffen, mit Mut, Tatkraft und einer authentischen Selbstsicherheit selbst hochgesteckte Ziele zu erreichen. Dieses Buch will Mut machen und zeigen, dass es sich lohnt im Leben den eigenen Visionen zu folgen. Unsere Ratgeber richten sich vor allem an Einsteiger. Leser, die vertiefende Informationen suchen, können diese umsonst als AddOn mit individuellen Inhalten nach Wunsch erhalten. Möglich wird dieses Konzept durch ein besonders effizientes, innovatives Digital-Verfahren.

A Binding Chance
Everyone loves Teresa’s Bookstore, a cozy little store in East Tennessee.
Garnet Stone loves working there just as much as reading books. She works hard to keep the store’s nosy cat out of trouble while tidying the sales floor. But when the owner of the bookstore, Teresa, unexpectedly passes away, Garnet learns that she left everything to her niece, Jane.
Pushing aside her bitterness, Garnet busts a move to clean the store’s clutter to impress her new boss. After Jane arrives to announce the store's closure, things take a turn for the worse and another dead body is found in the bookstore.
The new sheriff believes Jane is the killer, but Garnet knows her new boss isn’t to blame. Her roots in a law enforcement family give her confidence in solving the murder, but she quickly discovers it won’t be an open-and-shut case like she had hoped.
Unusual clues point to multiple people, yet the suspects have concrete alibis. If Garnet cannot solve the perfect crime, Teresa’s Bookstore will be gone.

Come and hunt with me
Those who like Nature can find exciting stories in this book about hunting. The author collected his experiences beginning from his childhood, when he first got in closer contact with hunting and shared it with the reader in the way, that they can feel the ?pulse? of the time and feel the smell of the corn fields, the moorland and reeds, the rivers and creeks where his hunting took place. For the lovers of exotic experiences he also describes how they prepared to hunt for Siberian foxes and what devices they used in the polar cold to get the GAZ 69 car go. When reading the book you can face your own thoughts and emotions, everyday happiness and sorrows as they are reflected by the writer. You can also get to know quite a lot of people, from California to the world of the mysterious Taiga, and of course the Hungarian way of life as it is indicated in their hunting habits. A kind of proximity between the faithful companion of the people, the dogs, and their owners is also expressed by Laslo, who describes in an amazing way how the four legged fellows react to human feelings, concerns and their everyday lives. So, if you really want to get closer to the Nature and intend to understand more about yourself and the behavior of your mates, this book is written for you. Read it and have real pleasure.

Immune
You wake up and feel a tickle in your throat. Your head hurts. You're mildly annoyed as you get the kids ready for school and dress for work yourself. Meanwhile, an utterly epic war is being fought, just below your skin. Millions are fighting and dying for you to be able to complain as you drink your cup of tea and head out the door.
So what, exactly, IS your immune system?
Second only to the human brain in its complexity, it is one of the oldest and most critical facets of life on Earth. Without it, you would die within days. In Immune, Philipp Dettmer, the brains behind the most popular science channel on YouTube, takes readers on a journey through the fortress of the human body and its defences. There is a constant battle of staggering scale raging within us, full of stories of invasion, strategy, defeat, and noble self-sacrifice. In fact, in the time you've been reading this, your immune system has probably identified and eradicated a cancer cell that started to grow in your body.
Each chapter delves deeply into an element of the immune system, including defences like antibodies and inflammation as well as threats like viruses, bacteria, allergies and cancer, as Dettmer reveals why boosting your immune system is actually nonsense, how parasites sneak their way past your body's defences, how viruses - including the coronavirus - work, and what goes on in your wounds when you cut yourself.
Enlivened by engaging full-colour graphics and immersive descriptions, Immune turns one of the most intricate, interconnected, and confusing subjects - immunology - into a gripping adventure through an astonishing alien landscape.
Challenging what you know and think about your own body and how it defends you against all sorts of maladies and how it might also eventually be your own downfall, Immune is a vital and remarkably fun crash course in what is arguably, and increasingly, the most important system in the body.
