Waren es zu Anfang politische Widerstände und Auseinandersetzungen, die Standfestigkeit in der Verlagsarbeit erforderten, folgten später euphemistisch 'Marktbereinigung' genannte Umbrüche in der Branche. Und wie sieht es heute aus - nachdem der Schwund von Leserinnen und Lesern, die Pandemie, die Explosion der Produktionskosten, Internet und KI selbst das routinierteste kulturpessimistische Jammern alt aussehen lassen? Wie überlebt man gute Bücher? Besser als schlechte jedenfalls. Das Beispiel liegt vor Ihnen - die Geschichte eines unabhängigen Verlags, dem seit 60 Jahren stets dieselbe wirtschaftsbesserwisserische Frage gestellt wird: Warum gibt es Sie eigentlich noch?Dieser Almanach ist eine Art kommentiertes Lesebuch über sechs Jahrzehnte Literatur, Kunst und Politik, von 1964 bis 2024. Und zugleich eine Ermutigung, weder dem eventgejagten Mainstream noch der Verlockung 'technischer Vorgaben' zu folgen, sondern dem Radikalen, Neuen, Unerhörten zur Seite zu springen und sich dem Genuss schön gemachter Bücher hinzugeben.

Dear Readers, <BR>I am excited and proud to share our 2023 catalog with you. Engage Books strives to publish books that make a difference, books that help children think critically about the world. Our goal is to help children become informed and engaged citizens who can make the world a better place. Our frontlist of 40 new Level 1, 2, and 3 readers was created in the hope of achieving this goal. <BR>Our flagship series, Understand Your Mind And Body, teaches kids about Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression and Dyslexia, and gives seven-to-nine-year-olds the opportunity to understand how their own minds, or the minds of loved ones, functions. Books on Asthma, Diabetes, Obesity and Vision Loss help kids to recognize changes that may be happening their bodies.<BR>It is vital that we empower the next generation to recognize the mistakes in our past. Our Working Towards Equality series teaches kids about Antisemitism, Homophobia, Racism and Sexism, in the hopes that we can help foster a kinder and gentler future. <BR>Following a pandemic it is more important than ever that we help children to navigate complex emotions. In our Emotions and Feelings series, we teach children about Fear, Guilt, Happiness, Worry and Anger while recognizing the Gratitude, Sadness and Grief that many are facing. By understanding their emotions, children can begin to heal.<BR>We believe in speaking to children as creative and imaginative individuals who may one day change the world. Our Changing Planet is a series that pulls back the curtain on subjects like Air Pollution, Climate Change, Extreme Weather, and Habitat Loss. We hope that by informing children about these issues, we can inspire them to come up with solutions as they grow older.<BR>Sincerely, <BR>Alexis Roumanis B.A., M.Pub.President Engage Books

Peter Carey: The Making of a Global Novelist recounts Peter Carey's literary career from his emergence in the Australian literary scene as a contributor to local literary magazines to when he published his fiction exclusively with large conglomerate publishers. As Australia's most decorated author for a period nearing half a century, Carey's career gives unparalleled insights into the global contemporary publishing and the making of global literary prestige from the periphery, and significant cultural currency for Australian literature and culture worldwide. Carey's fiction is not only a product of the global dynamic in literary publishing of the last quarter of the twentieth century, but also it holds something of its productive tension for Australian writing and writers. Allahyari retraces the fraught synthesis of an individual literary proclivity with a growing commercial cultural appetite: the coincidence of Carey's career with the conglomeration of global publishing pushed further towards anti-elitist, popular aesthetics.

The Predator Effect concerns predatory publishing -- it is the first to chart both the rise and impact of deceptive publishing. The author -- a scientific communications expert with 20 years' experience -- looks at how predatory journals had become an accepted part of scholarly publishing, reviewing in turn the history, development and impact of predatory journals. The book also puts their rise in context of wider issues such as Open Access and publication ethics. Other issues it addresses include: defining predatory journals, the history of predatory publishing practices, Beall's List, authors' motivations and the future of predatory publishing practices.

A Foreign Policy Best Summer Reading Pick<BR><BR> A young American lost in Russia. An FBI-cover up. A mystery leading from Washington to the heart of the Kremlin's war in Ukraine. When Billy Reilly vanished, his parents embarked on a desperate search for answers. Was their son’s disappearance connected to his mysterious work for the FBI, or was it a personal quest gone wrong? Only when Wall Street Journal reporter Brett Forrest embarks on his own investigation does a picture emerge: of the FBI's exploitation of US citizens through a secretive intelligence program, a young man's lust for adventure within the world's conflicts, and the costs of a rising clash between Moscow and Washington.Sept. 11th roused Billy Reilly's curiosity for religions, war, and the world and its people beyond his small town near Detroit. Online, Billy taught himself Arabic and Russian. His passions led him into jihadi Internet forums, attracting the interest of the FBI.An amateur drawn into professional intelligence, Billy became a Confidential Human Source, one of thousands of civilians who assist FBI agents with investigative work, often at great hazard and with little recourse. When Russia stirred rebellion in Ukraine, Billy set out to make his mark.In Russia, Billy's communications dropped. His parents, frantic, asked the FBI for help but struggled to find answers. Grasping for clues, the Reilly family turned to Brett Forrest. Commencing a quest of his own, Forrest applied years' worth of research, along with decades of extensive experience in Russia, illuminating the inner workings of the national-security machine that enmeshed Billy and his family, picking up the lost son's trail.A masterwork of reporting, composed like a thriller, blending political maneuvering and international espionage, Lost Son illustrates one man's coming of age amid new global dangers.

"Words that are spoken fly like the wind. Words that are written live forever."Aniceti Kitereza spoke those words while telling Gerald (Jerry) and Charlotte (Shoonie) Hartwig the story of his novel. The year was 1969. They couldn't have imagined that this conversation would inaugurate an eleven-year saga, one of determination and commitment revealed in a significant collection of letters and the extraordinary tale of a man and a book.The book you are holding is the story of this Tanzanian epic in words written and life lived. Aniceti Kitereza completed his epic novel in Kikerebe, in early 1945 and later translated it into Swahili as, Bwana Myombekere na Bibi Bugonoka na Ntulanalwo na Bulihwali (Tanzania Publishing House, 1980), and which was later translated from the Kikerebe original into English by Prof. Gabriel Ruhumbika under the title of, Mr Myombekere and His Wife Bugonoka, their Son Ntulanalwo and Daughter Bulihwali; The story of an Ancient African Community (Mkuki na Nyota, 2000).What you will discover in these pages is not only the significant contribution of Kitereza's writing to African and world literature but also his heroic life as revealed through conversations and letters. It is his personal story captured particularly in the eighty blue aerograms written during his last years that bring his voice to life. He was forty-nine years old when he completed Myombekere and eighty-one when his novel was published. His is an epic life to inspire not only Tanzanians but also the world, particularly as his life passion is encaptured in a question he posed: "What should we teach our children?".
