Discover the remarkable world of North American mammals in one compact book The Little Book of North American Mammals, part of the Little Library of Natural History, introduces kids to dozens of North America's most fascinating creatures with details about their habitats, diets, lifespans, and more. Gorgeous vintage artwork by some of the world's most enduring nature illustrators fill this irresistible volume. From the book: Perhaps no North American animal is quite as impressive up close as a fullyantlered bull moose. Moose (Alces alces) are the largest members of the deer family and are often six to seven feet tall at the shoulders. Including the head and antlers, they can tower ten feet high, stretch eight to ten feet in length, and weigh up to 1,800 pounds--in other words, they're huge With a long, homely face and a droopy upper lip, a moose's face looks rather like a horse's (they're not related). Since they have such long, lanky legs, moose appear to be walking on stilts, giving them a clumsy appearance. But don't be fooled--they can run up to thirty-five miles per hour and can easily run you down. These animals don't mind the cold, even extreme cold, though they do get hot and bothered by warm temperatures. Since moose easily overheat, their range is limited to colder, more northerly places.

Grundlagenwerk zur Rassismustheorie: Die 1990er Jahre erlebten die Karriere des Begriffs Rassismus zu einem inflationär gebrauchten Schlagwort. Zugleich aber scheint- jenseits des moralischen Vorwurfs - oftmals unklar zu bleiben, was im Einzelnen darunter zu verstehen sei. Um dieses Geflecht von Bedeutungen zu entwirren, geht Robert Miles in seinem Grundlagenwerk der Rassismustheorie den unterschiedlichen Verwendungsweisen des Rassismus-Begriffs nach und beleuchtet dabei gleichermaßen historische wie theoretische Aspekte. Seine akribische und materialreiche Studie stellt bis heute einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Begriffsgeschichte und eine gelungene Einführung in ein von heftigen Diskussionen geprägtes Problemfeld dar.

This second edition brings the book up to date by looking at recent examples of racism, such as the war in the former Yugoslavia and the cases of Stephen Lawrence and Rodney King, and by considering Islamophobia in Western societies. It also looks more widely at recent developments in the debate.

For many readers Jane Austen is the quintessential English author. Jane Austen sets out to explore the history of this identification with Englishness in the context of a tradition of criticism that has frequently tried to achieve the reverse: to establish her difference, and distance, from ‘us’. Rather than simply showing how she differs from the ‘heritage’ Austen, Robert Miles argues that many of the reasons for Austen’s construction as an English Cultural icon are to be found in the works’ formal qualities, and often in her most innovative techniques.
