        The Colourful Toy Village

        by Horst Michel (Author)

        One cannot say the post-war years were easy. Nevertheless, professor Horst Michel and his working group from the State University for Architecture and Visual Arts in Weimar, today’s Bauhaus University, worked on a life-affirming picture book for young children. Despite staying in half-destroyed work spaces, they managed to create a colourful book with many cheerful characters that resemble simple wooden toys. They tell the story of a hard-working but idyllic village community that was supposed to give people hope for a better future.

        Bionics – An Arms Race of the Senses #14

        by Bernd Hill (Author& Illustrator)

        Evolution shows that plants and animals have developed ingenious strategies to protect themselves from predators. Predators, however, developed equally sophisticated senses in order to better detect their prey. The development of survival strategies, hence, resembles an »arms race« of evolution. This book demonstrates how highly effective sensory performance for tracking prey and, in turn, more effective »weapons« for warding off enemies have developed. We learn, for example, how bats can orient themselves in the dark while hunting moths and what remarkable techniques moths use to protect themselves from their nocturnal hunters.

        Bionics – Medicine and Cosmetics #15

        by Bernd Hill (Author& Illustrator)

        We are constantly looking for new medicines to treat deadly diseases such as cancer, diabetes and strokes. To do this, pharmaceutical researchers rely on ingredients from nature: plants and animals alike are important sources for new pharmaceutical products. The cosmetic industry is also discovering important ingredients in the rainforests. For example, skin creams that are developed from oily fruits, seeds and palm trees or new fragrances created from various orchid species. This book introduces many interesting examples, where nature and its ingredients furthered the invention of medical and cosmetic products.
