This book presents a corrective to conventional portrayals of East German society, both before and after the opening of the Wall in 1989, based largely upon data obtained through participant observation in the German Democratic Republic and the new German states of the Federal Republic of Germany. This account is coupled with an analytical interpretation of the failure to develop socialism in the GDR and the impact of the unification of 1990 on East German social life. The book also examines the legitimization crisis in the GDR, the factors that contributed to the collapse of the GDR state, life inside the Socialist Unity Party from below, the role of the Protestant and Catholic churches in the GDR, and the existential and financial crises within the Protestant churches following unification. The work assesses the contradictions of the 40-year history of the GDR, not only in terms of its shortcomings but also its achievements.

She’s missing. The beautiful Fae that’s stolen my heart. And everyone’s, if I’m being honest. Urgent is my middle name now and I’m not willing to rest until we find her. There’s no choice but to bring in a forensic magician to the team. Eye roll times a million. But it’s just what we needed. And slowly but surely, we start to unravel what’s happening. Throw in a trip to the Funhouse Lounge, the appearance of the infamous Candelabra Effervescence, and some creepy tunnels, and my Saturday night just got a lot more interesting. As if that wasn’t enough, in this search to get the pretty girl back and understand why creatures keep disappearing, we agitate a horde of zombies who love crashing through concrete. It’s far more than I signed up for, but I’m willing to man up and break down the walls.

'The master. Puts all other modern tree-writers in the shade' John Lewis-Stempel, author of Meadowland Thomas Pakenham is an indefatigable champion of trees. In The Company of Trees he recounts his personal quest to establish a large arboretum on the family estate, Tullynally in Ireland; his forays to other tree-filled parks and plantations; his often hazardous seed-hunting expeditions; and his efforts to preserve magnificent old trees and historic woodlands. Whether writing about the terrible storms breaking the backs of hundred-year-old trees or a fire in the peat bog on Tullynally which threatens to spread to the main commercial spruce-woods, his fear of climate change and disease, or the sturdy young saplings giving him hope for the future, his book is never less than enthralling.
