Children's & YA2009Cómo construir un volcán (How to create a volcano)
by Vicente Rojo, José Emilio Pacheco, Alberto Blanco, Bárbara Jacobs, Coral Bracho, José-Miguel Ullán
This work created from drawings of volcanoes by the artist, with the collaboration of the poems of Pacheco, Bracho, Blanco, Jacobs and Millán give us clues about how to build a volcano, ink and letters. Vicente Rojo's Volcanoes are descriptive forms, which contain a deep love for the artistic profession, and reveal an external structure that speaks of the infinite complexity of the universe. They are a creative effort to unravel the mystery of volcanoes. The use of descriptive and functional forms, characteristic of Vicente Rojo's work, allows establishing an interpretive parameter, which in poetry has been reflected in mysterious and evocative ways.

October 2008Loja
Roman
by Gabriela Avigur-Rotem, Anne Birkenhauer
Nach 25 Jahren kehrt Loja Kaplan nach Israel zurück. Sie gehört zur ersten Generation von Kindern, die als Israelis groß geworden sind. Nach dem Tod ihres Vaters hat sie mit Anfang Zwanzig das Land verlassen, alle Brücken zu ihrer Vergangenheit abgebrochen. Nun ist Davidi, ein enger Freund ihres Vaters, gestorben und hat sie als Erbin bestimmt. In seinem alten Haus im Orangenhain wird die Welt, werden die Menschen ihrer Kindheitsjahre wieder gegenwärtig, Einst und Jetzt schwingen ineinander. Nach und nach entdeckt sie, daß Davidi ihr ein Geheimnis hinterlassen hat: die Geschichte, die ihn und Lojas Vater tragisch verbindet und die sie, die beiden begeisterten Archäologen, immer bemüht waren, im dunkeln zu lassen. Auf der Suche nach ihrer bislang totgeglaubten Mutter fährt Loja schließlich nach Terezín, dem einstigen Ghetto Theresienstadt. Gabriela Avigur-Rotem gelingt es mit außergewöhnlicher sprachlicher Kraft, das Israel der 1950er und 1990er Jahre zu evozieren. Mit der Geschichte ihrer eigenwilligen Protagonistin Loja erzählt sie auch die einer ganzen Generation, der ersten Generation von Israelis, die erst spät gewahr wird, wie vielschichtig ihr Erbe ist.

Agronomy & crop productionNovember 2011Crop Stress Management and Global Climate Change
by Edited by Jose Luis Araus, Gustavo A Slafer.
Climate change is a diverse, multifactorial phenomenon, meaning that the agronomic strategies needed are case-specific and will have regional differences. This book provides an integrated view of the challenges and opportunities that will face agriculture in the future as a result of climate change. It discusses how the stresses resulting from climate change can be overcome by assessing, measuring and predicting environmental changes and stresses, identifying opportunities and adapting to change and responding to multifactorial change. Challenges and potential strategies that might be taken to overcome these are illustrated using a number of case studies. Climate change will pose many challenges to agriculture in the future, but by taking an integrative approach to predicting and adapting to change, this book will inspire researchers to turn those challenges into opportunities.

Facing Off
by Graciela Vaserman Samuels
Facing Off is a kaleidoscope of departures. In a century-long journey, men and women escape from a Europe in flames to the often convulsive but welcoming shores of Argentina. As Gabriela unveils to her daughters the land of her birth, the country becomes a map of thumbtack flags of flesh and blood. Readers see a revolving door of political parades and moments through the innocent eyes of a child, a rebel, and a mature woman. Facing Off is a catharsis at each milestone of motherhood, reflected in the responses of Gabriela’s daughters. From Buenos Aires to Jerusalem to Paris and back to Jerusalem, fragile threads link family and tradition. A living willpower guides readers across the desert between generations. Facing Off was first published in Spanish as Dar la Cara by Metafora (Buenos Aires, 2010) and selected for display on the Argentinean stand at the 2010 Frankfurt Book Fair. Graciela Vaserman Samuels, born in Argentina, emigrated to Israel and studied political science at the Hebrew University. She holds a PhD in literature from Temple University and served as founding director of Hadassah Medical Relief Association. As a UNESCO official, she spends her time between Paris and Jerusalem. The author and her husband, Shimon Samuels, have three daughters and four grandsons. Vaserman Samuels also wrote the novel Decoding Colors. An English- Lanugage E-book edition was published in late 2014, by SWS Inc., C.A. 242 Pages, 15X22.5 CM

Children's & YAJanuary 2015Hatless
by Lateefa Buti / Illustrated by Doha Al Khteeb
Kuwaiti children’s book author Lateefa Buti’s well-crafted and beautifully illustrated children’s book, Hatless, encourages children (ages 6-9) to think independently and challenge rigid traditions and fixed rituals with innovation and creativity. The main character is a young girl named Hatless who lives in the City of Hats. Here, all of the people are born with hats that cover their heads and faces. The world inside of their hats is dark, silent, and odorless. Hatless feels trapped underneath her own hat. She wants to take off her hat, but she is afraid, until she realizes that whatever frightening things exist in the world around her are there whether or not she takes off her hat to see them. So Hatless removes her hat. As Hatless takes in the beauty of her surroundings, she cannot help but talk about what she sees, hears, and smells. The other inhabitants of the city ostracize her because she has become different from them. It is not long before they ask her to leave the City of Hats. Rather than giving up or getting angry, Hatless feels sad for her friends and neighbors who are afraid to experience the world outside of their hats. She comes up with an ingenious solution: if given another chance, she will wear a hat as long it is one she makes herself. The people of the City of Hats agree, so Hatless weaves a hat that covers her head and face but does not prevent her from seeing the outside world. She offers to loan the hat to the other inhabitants of the city. One by one, they try it on and are enchanted by the beautiful world around them. Since then, no child has been born wearing a hat. The people celebrate by tossing their old hats in the air. By bravely embracing these values, Hatless improves her own life and the lives of her fellow citizens. Buti’s language is eloquent and clear. She strikes a skilled narrative balance between revealing Hatless’s inner thoughts and letting the story unfold through her interactions with other characters. Careful descriptions are accompanied by beautiful illustrations that reward multiple readings of the book.
