This series stands out for a particular graphic style and for the abundance of photographs, specially made for these books.Other series on Rome are instead dedicated to in-depth studies on specific historical and customs themes, or on the mysterious aspects of the city that also reveal its dark side.In the MMC catalogue are other non-fiction books on topics such as Music, Interculture, Anthropology and a series of stories for children encouraging solidarity, non-violence and respect for the environment

        My Body Is a Book of Rules

        by Elissa Washuta

        AS ELISSA WASHUTA MAKES THE TRANSITION from college kid to independent adult, she finds herself overwhelmed by the calamities piling up in her brain. When her moodstabilizing medications aren’t threatening her life, they’re shoving her from depression to mania and back in the space of an hour. Her crisis of American Indian identity bleeds into other areas of self-doubt; mental illness, sexual trauma, ethnic identity, and independence become intertwined. Sifting through the scraps of her past in seventeen formally inventive chapters, Washuta aligns the strictures of her Catholic school education with Cosmopolitan’s mandates for womanhood, views memories through the distorting lens of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and contrasts her bipolar highs and lows with those of Britney Spears and Kurt Cobain. Built on the bones of fundamental identity questions as contorted by a distressed brain, My Body Is a Book of Rules pulls no punches in its selfdeprecating and ferocious look at human fallibility.

        Physics Can Be Fatal

        An Edwina Goodman Mystery

        by Elissa D. Grodin

        Alan Sidebottom was what some outside the rarified world of academic physics might call a superstar.  In the realm of string theory, black holes, and the Higgs-Boson particle, Sidebottom was a celebrity.  So, when tiny Cushing College snagged him for their faculty, all the physics professors were excited–and threatened.  It seemed that most of them had personal reasons to despise Sidebottom. Edwina Goodman, one of the youngest members of the physics faculty, and one of the few who held no animosity towards the newcomer, was given the daunting–and unwelcome task of escorting Sidebottom around campus.  So, when the great man was found dead shortly after his arrival–apparently murdered–Edwina believed it her responsibility to track down her charge’s killer.  Would her scientific brain be able to ignore the fact that the entire pool of suspects apparently resided within the walls of her very own department?  Or would the young police detective, Will Tenney, spark a different kind of investigatory zeal in Edwina? It remained to be seen, for all was not as it first seemed in the world of invisible particles and mathematical equations–at least not at Cushing College.  And the murder of one noted physicist might not be the last.

        Death By Hitchcock

        An Edwina Goodman Mystery

        by Elissa D. Grodin

        Physics and film seemingly have few academic features in common.  However, when local siren Bunny Baldwin, a student in the Film Studies Department at Cushing College, is found strangled to death on opening night of the Hitchcock Film Festival, Physics professor Edwina Goodman puts on her detecting hat.  Using her scientific sleuthing skills to assist her almost boyfriend Police Detective Will Tenney, the pair work together to investigate the campus murder.  Edwina wants to know––why did the murderer tie a strip of film around the victim’s head?  Why did the killer time the murder to coincide with the showing of the famous Hitchcock film Spellbound?  Was Bunny really killed by strangulation or did the unusual drugs found in her system suggest poisoning? Why do all the suspects have a seemingly airtight alibi? There are certainly sufficient suspects as Edwina quickly ascertains.  The head of the Film Studies Department was having a torrid and practically public affair with the victim.  His wife was apparently furiuous, but not enough to keep her from also engaging in sexual hanky panky.  The victim had stolen a screenplay written by her roommate, Mary, to secure a Hollywood agent.  Mary is out for payback.  A quirky older woman who uses plants and other natural remedies to cure various ailments followed the head of the department around like a moon-struck calf.  And, of course, there’s the film department’s boy savant who plays chess with Edwina and keeps her updated on the various players. Can Edwina use her knowledge of physics to unlock the strange features of this most unusual crime?  When a second murder occurs, it looks like she may––if the killer doesn’t find her first.

        The Wild Meadow

        Discover the diversity of a hidden world

        by Angelika Huber-Janisch, Annette Zacharias

        Crawling, chirping, flying and buzzing: a meadow is full of action! And a wild meadow is a fascinating place: A miniature biotope just waiting to be discovered. This book aims to raise awareness among children and adults of how to help preserve what we consider to be everyday, run-of-the-mill meadows, because they are not only home to a wide range of flowers, but innumerable creatures above and below ground. Meadows play a decisive role in a well-functioning ecosystem. This book takes a look at the flowers and plants, fungi and mosses which grow here and which children can then examine more closely on their next walk. And there are various animals and phenomena underground, too – an exciting microcosm whose diversity is little known.
