April 1998Elemente einer Geschichte der Wissenschaften
by Michel Serres, Horst Brühmann, Michel Authier, Paul Benoît, Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent, Geof Bowker, Catherine Goldstein, Bruno Latour, Jean-Marc Drouin, Pierre Lévy, Françoise Micheau, Michel Serres, Isabelle Stengers, James Ritter
Die Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften weckt zunehmendes Interesse, auch weil unsere Welt immer mehr von Wissenschaft und Technik dominiert wird. Trotzdem wird sie zumeist ohne Zusammenhang zu anderen Disziplinen wie Literatur oder Philosophie gelehrt. Der renommierte Philosoph und Wissenschaftshistoriker Michel Serres hat daher Autoren versammelt, die in ihren Texten diese Kluft überwinden, indem sie zeigen, in welchem kulturellen Kontext die Naturwissenschaften standen und stehen. So entsteht ein lebendiges Panorama der Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften, das unsere engen Vorstellungen über unsere Disziplinen und über unsere Zeit öffnet: Die Scheidung zwischen zwei Kulturen datiert zweifellos erst seit gestern, während wir sie für jahrtausendealt und irreversibel halten.

June 2019Poison Ivy
A Martha's Vineyard Mystery
by Cynthia Riggs
On her first day as adjunct professor at Ivy Green College, Victoria Trumbull recognizes the stench emanating from her classroom as more than just dead mice. Brownie, the groundskeeper's mangy mutt, soon discovers a second body hiding beneath a cluster of poison ivy. The stakes have never been higher for Ivy Green, which is on the brink of losing already-lukewarm support from its accredited partner, Cape Cod University. Thackery Wilson, the founder of Ivy Green, worries that the bad publicity from the murders will obliterate the financial and academic support the tiny college and its dependent students desperately need. As the bodies continue to pile up, all tenure committee members, Victoria and Brownie find themselves hunting a serial killer and trying to save the college. This charming 11th entry in Cynthia Rigg's Martha's Vineyard mystery series brings the island to life with a cast of eccentric characters led by a unique and endearing sleuth.

FictionJuly 20202028: The Rebellion
by N. L. Brisson
This is a Trumpian Fantasy. It imagines what could happen if Trump wins in 2020 and beyond. It is a work of fiction, but it is an attempt to extrapolate what it might look like if Republican and Evangelical policies were implemented, backed by an empowered Trump who has declared himself President for Life. Can a ‘rag tag group’ of rebels from the American Prison States restore our Republic and turn the Confederated States of America back into the United States of America?

Theory of music & musicologyAugust 2012Journey to Meet Beethoven
by Pat Champness
This is a book to help you learn to play the piano. It is not a 'Learn the Piano in Ten Easy Lessons' tutor - plenty of those exist - but an adventure introducing you to the world of music and stirring your imagination. Beginning with simple pieces, as you are fed with more knowledge the compositions become more advanced. They are all by composers whose works range from a 14th century Venetian dance to a 20th century South American tango. Your journey takes you through sixty-eight pieces with their historical and geographical backgrounds, the last being the much-loved first movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Hence the title.
