Product Information

***THE NUMBER ONE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER*** 'Fans of Cloud Atlas and Never Let Me Go will love The History of Bees' Good Housekeeping 'Dystopian and electric, this book is set to blow minds everywhere' Stylist 'Haunting and poignant ... an important and wonderful book' Dave Goulson, bestselling author of Bee Quest In the spirit of Station Eleven and Never Let Me Go, this dazzling and ambitious literary debut follows three generations of beekeepers from the past, present, and future, weaving a spellbinding story of their relationship to the bees - and to their children and one another - against the backdrop of an urgent, global crisis. England, 1851. William is a biologist and seed merchant, who sets out to build a new type of beehive-one that will give both him and his children honour and fame. United States, 2007. George is a beekeeper and fights an uphill battle against modern farming, but hopes that his son can be their salvation. China, 2098. Tao hand paints pollen onto the fruit trees now that the bees have long since disappeared. When Tao's young son is taken away by the authorities after a tragic accident-and is kept in the dark about his whereabouts and condition-she sets out on a grueling journey to find out what happened to him. Haunting, illuminating, and deftly written, The History of Bees joins these three very different narratives into one gripping and thought provoking story that is just as much about the powerful relationships between children and parents as it is about our very relationship to nature and humanity. Praise for The History of Bees: 'Spectacular and deeply moving. Lunde has elegantly woven together a tale of science and science fiction, dystopia and hope, and the trials of the individual and the strengths of family' Lisa See, New York Times bestselling author 'Such is the genius of debut novelist Maja Lunde that her tale of three eras-the long past, the tenuous present and the biologically damned future-is strung on the fragile hope of the survival of bees' Jacquelyn Mitchard, New York Times bestselling author 'As a lover of honeybees and a fan of speculative fiction, I was doubly smitten by The History of Bees. Maja Lunde's novel is an urgent reminder of how much our survival depends on those remarkable insects. It is also a gripping account of how-despite the cruelest losses-humanity may abide and individual families can heal' Jean Hegland, author of Into the Forest 'By turns devastating and hopeful, The History of Beesresonates powerfully with our most pressing environmental concerns. Following three separate but interconnected timelines, Lunde shows us the past, the present, and a terrifying future in a riveting story as complex as a honeycomb' Bryn Greenwood, New York Times bestselling author 'Here is a story that is sweeping in scope but intimate in detail' Laura McBride, author of We Are Called to Rise 'A brilliant and beautiful novel' Jan Askelund, Stavanger Aftenblad 'She does everything right [...] She paints on a broad canvas, the topic is highly important and the language is both comprehensive and precise' Geir Vestad, Hamar Arbeiderblad 'One can easily understand the buzz ...' Maria Arolilja Ro, Adresseavisa 'The settings portrayed in the novel are impressively visual and each character is perfectly naturally rooted in his or her own era and environment' Janneken Overland, Klassekampen 'Maja Lunde will reach a big audience with The History of Bees. (...) She has written a novel many will read in one go, and then sit down and think, about life, the world and the future. That is unique and it is very well done' Annette Orre, littkritikk.no 'The History of Bees is a fascinating and brilliantly written novel that elegantly moves between the various stories and timelines' Oddmund Hagen, Dag og Tid

Thank you for your interest in our eBay shop. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. In the following we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.
 
1. Access Data and Hosting
You can visit our websites without giving any personal information. Whenever a website is called up, the web server merely automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the call, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call.
This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, this serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer, which outweigh the interests of the parties concerned. All access data will be deleted at the latest seven days after the end of your site visit.
 
2. Data Collection and Use for Contract Processing, Contact
Your personal data will be collected via eBay or directly by us if you provide them within the scope of your order or when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Both eBay and we act as responsible parties. All data collected via eBay will be processed on the eBay servers and in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for contract execution, or to process your contact with us.
Mandatory fields are marked as such, because in these cases we need the data for the processing of the contract or for the processing of your contact and you cannot complete the order or send the contact without their indication. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide us with in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of processing contracts and handling your enquiries. After the contract has been fully executed, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the expiry of any retention periods required by tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data for other purposes which are permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.
 
3. Data Transfer
In order to fulfil the contract in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the order process, we will pass on the payment data collected for this purpose to the bank commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the payment service provider commissioned by us or to the selected payment service for the processing of payments. In some cases, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves if you open an account there. In this case, you must log on to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the data protection declaration of the respective payment service provider applies.
 
Data Transfer to Collection Agencies
In order to fulfil the contract in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR, we will pass on your data to a commissioned collection company if our payment claim has not been settled despite a previous reminder. In this case, the claim is collected directly by the collection agency. In addition, the disclosure serves to protect our legitimate interests, which outweigh the interests of all parties involved, in the effective assertion or enforcement of our payment claim in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.
 
4. Postal Advertising
Postal advertising and your right of objection
Furthermore, we reserve the right to use your first and last name as well as your postal address for our own advertising purposes, e.g. to send you interesting offers and information on our products by letter post. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which outweigh the interests of our clients in the context of a weighing of interests, in addressing our clients in advertising in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The advertising mailings are provided within the scope of processing on our behalf by a service provider to whom we pass on your data for this purpose. You can object to the storage and use of your data for these purposes at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below.
 
5. Contact Details and your Rights
As a data subject, you have the following rights:
in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, the right to request information about your personal data processed by us to the extent described therein;
in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, the right to demand the immediate correction of incorrect or incomplete personal data stored by us;
in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR the right to demand the deletion of your personal data stored with us, unless further processing is not possible.
on the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;
to fulfil a legal obligation;
for reasons of public interest, or
is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims;
in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data, provided that
* the correctness of the data is disputed by you;
* the processing is unlawful, but you refuse to delete it
* we no longer need the data, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
* you have lodged an objection to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR
in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, the right to receive your personal data that you have provided us with in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request that it be transferred to another responsible party
pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR the right to complain to a supervisory authority.
As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority at your usual place of residence or work or at our registered office for this purpose.
If you have any questions regarding the collection, processing or use of your personal data, for information, correction, restriction or deletion of data as well as revocation of given consents or objection to a certain use of data, please contact us directly via the contact data in our imprint.
 
Right of Objection
Insofar as we process personal data as explained above in order to safeguard our legitimate interests, which outweigh any other interests, you can object to this processing with effect for the future. If the processing is for direct marketing purposes, you may exercise this right at any time as described above. If the processing is for other purposes, you have the right to object only if there are reasons arising from your particular situation.
After exercising your right of objection, we will not process your personal data further for these purposes, unless we can prove compelling reasons for processing worthy of protection that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
This does not apply if the processing is for direct marketing purposes. Then we will not process your personal data further for this purpose.
Otherwise the privacy policy of eBay applies. In this respect eBay is the person responsible for data processing. You can inform yourself about the handling of your data on eBay here:

Recommended seller. CD dispatched promptly, seller not responsible for slight delay in delivery. Undamaged in transit, condition as described (very good). Competitive price for a rare 3-CD boxed set. No problems. Many thanks.

Arrived damaged - contrary to description. Large hardback packaged in jiffy bag. Probably damaged in transit -- sturdier packaging might have helped. Contacted seller to try to resolve (with photos). No reply. At time of purchase a number were of this price. Prices since had jumped up. I was interested in a resolution that involved keeping it - even if it meant a damaged gift. Would only use this seller for items where the condition is irrelevant and the price muuuuuch cheaper.
Ancient Trees: Portraits of Time by Moon, Beth | Book | condition very good (#166630664214)

Item in Good condition as described (artwork/case in excellent condition, a few noticeable marks on disc but plays fine so no problem); delivery slightly later than estimate (was dispatched quickly and with tracking available, as have multiple previous orders which all arrived in around a week, so almost certainly just a bit of Easter disruption to postal services); safely packaged in padded envelope. Many thanks for usual excellent service at a great price.
One Night in Burmantofts by Brotzmann, Wilkinson Quartet | CD | condition good (#204611157045)
