Julia Gasterstädt zeigt die Komplexität von Steuerungsprozessen bei der Entwicklung inklusiver Strukturen in Schulsystemen empirisch fundiert auf. Ausgangspunkt ist die Perspektive der Educational Governance-Forschung, die anhand des Forschungsgegenstandes kritisch reflektiert wird. Dabei werden Leerstellen deutlich, die mit Bezug auf die Theorie sozialer Welten und Arenen sowie die Analyse von Macht und Diskursen bearbeitet werden. Dazu folgt die Autorin methodisch der Situational Analysis nach Adele Clarke als Erweiterung der Grounded Theory Methodologie, deren deren Erkenntnispotentiale für die Analyse von Prozessen der Steuerung in Bildungssystemen aufgezeigt werden. Die Ergebnisse dieser Rekonstruktionen machen eindrücklich deutlich, wie die UN-BRK durch Akteure der Bildungsadministration reinterpretiert wird und daran anschließend innerhalb spezifischer Steuerungslogiken umgesetzt wird.

Die Grundrechtsprüfung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs war vor der Rechtsverbindlichkeit der Charta der Grundrechte der Europäischen Union Gegenstand massiver Kritik. Zehn Jahre nach deren Inkrafttreten legt Christian G. H. Riedel die erste umfassende Bestandsaufnahme zur Charta-Rechtsprechung des EuGH vor. Dabei vereint er dogmatisches Arbeiten mit innovativen Methoden zur Rechtsprechungsanalyse: Im ersten Teil kategorisiert er sämtliche Entscheidungen des Gerichtshofs, in denen dieser die Charta zitiert. Dem schließt sich eine ausführliche dogmatische Analyse der Grundrechtsprüfung des EuGH an, wobei der entsprechende Maßstab aus Art. 52 Abs. 1 der Charta entwickelt wird. Die in diesem Schritt aufgezeigten Divergenzen in der Dogmatik der Grundrechtsprechung werden im dritten Teil mit verschiedenen Kontexten erklärt. Damit liefert der Autor eine ebenso umfassende wie detaillierte Grundlage für die Diskussion über die Qualität der Grundrechtsprüfung durch den EuGH.

Twenty-four-year-old Billy is beautiful and sexy. Albert—The Pharmacist—is a compelling but damaged older man, and a veteran of London’s late 90s club scene. After a chance meeting in the heart of the London’s East End, Billy is seduced into the sphere of Albert. An unconventional friendship develops, fuelled by Albert's queer narratives and an endless supply of narcotics. Alive with the twilight times between day and night, consciousness and unconsciousness, the foundations of Billy's life begin to irrevocably shift and crack, as he fast-tracks toward manhood. This story of lust, love and loss is homoerotic bildungsroman at its finest. 'At the heart of David's The Pharmacist is an oddly touching and bizarre love story, a modern day Harold and Maude set in the drugged-up world of pre-gentrification Shoreditch. The dialogue, especially, bristles with glorious life.' -JONATHAN KEMP, author of London Triptych "An exploration of love and loss in the deathly hallows of twenty-first century London. Justin David's prose is as sharp as a hypodermic needle. Unflinching, uncomfortable but always compelling, The Pharmacist finds the true meaning of love in the most unlikely places." -NEIL McKENNA, author of Fanny and Stella.

In The Fellowship, Philip and Carol Zaleski offer the first complete rendering of the Inklings' lives and works. Lewis maps the medieval mind, accepts Christ while riding in the sidecar of his brother's motorcycle, becomes a world-famous evangelist and moral satirist, and creates new forms of religiously attuned fiction while wrestling with personal crises. Tolkien transmutes an invented mythology into a breath-taking story in The Lord of the Rings, while conducting ground-breaking Old English scholarship and elucidating the Catholic teachings at the heart of his vision. This extraordinary group biography also focuses on Charles Williams, strange acolyte of Romantic love, and Owen Barfield, an esoteric philosopher who became, for a time, Saul Bellow's guru. Romantics who scorned rebellion, fantasists who prized sanity, Christians with cosmic reach, the inklings sought to revitalize literature and faith in the twentieth century's darkest years and did so.

Selected by Library Journal as one of the best horror books of 2019 "The sheer, skin-crawling fright is masterful. Thomas has crafted an indelible story...all wrapped in a supernatural shroud that unfurls from the heart of America. Whether or not thoughts can breathe, books certainly can, and Violet does exactly that." —Jason Heller, National Public Radio "Don't let anybody tell you this book is a slow burn—Violet travels at the speed of horror." —Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box For many children, the summer of 1988 was filled with sunshine and laughter. But for ten-year-old Kris Barlow, it was her chance to say goodbye to her dying mother. Three decades later, loss returns—her husband killed in a car accident. And so, Kris goes home to the place where she first knew pain—to that summer house overlooking the crystal waters of Lost Lake. It’s there that Kris and her eight-year-old daughter will make a stand against grief. But a shadow has fallen over the quiet lake town of Pacington, Kansas. Beneath its surface, an evil has grown—and inside that home where Kris Barlow last saw her mother, an old friend awaits her return.
