  Love Offers No Safety: Nigeria's Queer Men Speak is a raw and powerful collection of 25 first-person narratives that explore the diverse experience of queer Nigerian men. These stirring stories cut across age, class, religion, ethnicity, family and relationships, offering a glimpse into what it means to survive as a queer man in Nigeria. From Tunji, who takes us back to the thriving networking community before social media, to Chukwori, who struggles to reconcile his need to serve God with his sexuality, and Abdulkarim, who frustratingly wonders if he'll ever stop working twice as hard to be accepted, these stories are full of contradictions, anger, resiliency, profound insight, and radical hope.
  
  With heightened levels of oppression, violence, and discrimination faced by LGBTQ Nigerians due to the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Law, these voices remind us of what the queer community in Nigeria has always been fighting for - the freedom to be themselves, love themselves, and love each other, despite being viewed as unworthy. Love Offers No Safety is a heart-breaking yet hopeful reminder that love knows no boundaries and offers no safety, but it is worth fighting for.

  In April 1865, Richmond fell to the Union army and Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered to his Northern counterpart, Ulysses S. Grant, at the Appomattox Court House. But the Civil War was far from over. 
   
   
   
  Determined to keep Confederate dreams of secession alive, President Jefferson Davis and his cabinet fled the burning capital city. With Union troops in pursuit, the fugitives rallied loyalists across the South and made plans to escape to Cuba. In the aftermath of President Abraham Lincoln's assassination, a $100,000 bounty was placed on Davis's head. Finally captured in Irwinville, Georgia, the former US senator and secretary of war became a prisoner of the American government. The harsh treatment he received would inflame tensions between North and South for years to come. 
   
   
   
  Meticulously researched and brilliantly told, The Long Surrender brings these dramatic events to vivid, unforgettable life and paints a fascinating portrait of Davis, one of history's most enigmatic figures. By shining a light on this forgotten chapter of the Civil War, bestselling author Burke Davis examines the lasting impact of America's bloodiest conflict on the national character.

  In einer groß angelegten europaweit durchgeführten Studie – mit einem besonderen Schwerpunkt auf die den sog. Visegrád-Staaten – war es Zielsetzung, die Unternehmensethik als Wettbewerbsfaktor zu erforschen. Dies mit dem Ziel, die Voraussetzungen für den nachhaltigen Transfer ethischer Werte in die unternehmerische Praxis (das unternehmerische (Personal-)Management) zu untersuchen und daraus portable Modelle für die Implementierung und Validierung (Zertifizierung, Messung) ethischer Schlüsselwerte zu entwickeln. Leitfrage der Untersuchung war es dabei, wie sich der Bezug zwischen ökonomischem Interesse und ethischer Normenorientierung so vermitteln lässt, dass die Etablierung ethischer Werte im Unternehmensmanagement anstatt zu einer Einschränkung zu einer Erhöhung der Wettbewerbsstärke (Ethik als Erfolgsfaktor) führt.
