Among Tigers
by Amer Fahry
It was all nothing compared to the problem I faced again; Nobody talks to me, so I was isolated from everyone, and this isolation increased when I was banned from using the mobile phone to the extent that I could not call my mother to broadcast my concerns. I was dumbfounded for a moment, as if my body and mind were somewhere else, and I was overwhelmed with great sadness. Outside, it was very nice, and the kids were outside except for me. I had the impression that I was having the best moments of my existence, the times of my youth, that period that goes by so fast and mercilessly. My breath was cut off, my throat dried up, my temperature rose, and tears began to overwhelm my eyelids, so I tried to prevent them from appearing. Nothing could have calmed me, the time for serving sweets and complimenting smiles had passed. Only my mother's affection could make me better.

Caroline, Stephanie andPatricia Ho-Yi Wang, three sisters of Cantonese origin, have made it their mission to introduce these vegetables, which everyone will love, in a unique book that is both a guide to gardening and a cookbook, as well as the story of a family.

Around forty recipes, some of which were created by famous chefs, are presented as well.

Children's & YAJune 2018Plastic apocalypse
by Arthur Ténor
Originally, Plastivorax was a breakthrough in biotechnology. It was going to enable us to treat all plastic waste on Earth without residue or pollution. On the flip side, its inventor would pocket billions of dollars. But we hadn't counted on "that fatal little detail." A detail that this apprentice sorcerer (who thought he had mastered everything, even the laws of nature) refused to see. The result: nothing less than the end of the world, well… as we know it.

Humanities & Social SciencesJunk Science and the American Criminal Justice System
by M. Chris Fabricant
From CSI to Forensic Files to the celebrated reputation of the FBI crime lab, “forensic scientists” have long been mythologized in American popular culture as infallible crime solvers. Judges and juries put their faith in “expert witnesses” and innocent people have been executed as a result. Innocent people are on death row today, condemned by junk science. In 2012, the Innocence Project began searching for prisoners convicted by junk science, and three men, each convicted of capital murder, became M. Chris Fabricant’s clients. Junk Science and the American Criminal Justice System chronicles the fights to overturn their wrongful convictions and to end the use of the “science” that destroyed their lives. Weaving together courtroom battles from Mississippi to Texas to New York City, Fabricant takes the reader on a journey into the heart of a broken, racist system of justice and the role forensic science plays in maintaining the status quo. At turns gripping, enraging, and moving, Junk Science is a meticulously researched insider’s perspective of the American criminal justice system. Previously untold stories of wrongful executions, corrupt prosecutors, and quackery masquerading as science animate Fabricant’s astonishing true-crime narrative. The book also features a full-color photo insert that illustrates the junk science explored by the author.

April 1998The Technopriests
by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Zoran Janjetov
The cosmic adventures of a young boy on his path to ridding the galaxy of an insidious technological plague. After the Greek tragedy of "The Metabarons," Alejandro Jodorowsky returns to his biblical roots with this quest reminiscent of Moses and set on a galactic scale. To top it off, the characters and the theme of virtual reality are tailor-made for artist Zoran Janjetov ("Before The Incal"), who finds in Jodorowsky his perfect match. Albino, hero of this space odyssey, remembers here his childhood, his apprenticeship, and the big and small battles he had to fight to fulfill his ambitions in a universe where technological advances are paradoxically matched only by the cruelty and the barbarism of the forces controlling it.
