        The Middle

        by Richa Jha and Eva Sanchez Gomez

        The Middle is a story of a journey within a journey. A voracious reader, Azma, whose mind is full of questions as she reads, finds that the more books she consumes, the more the whys and hows in them consume her. One night, a torn scrap of paper floats into her room, carrying an incomplete line within its crinkles. She desperately searches for any missing words to complete the lonely phrase but failing at each attempt, she finally turns to writing her own beginning and end.  The pages of The Middle are filled with surreal creatures - formidable, terrifying, looming – and these represent the fears and doubts of a mind struggling to make sense of the worlds captured within those books that only partially satisfy her as a reader. Azma embarks on an incomplete journey, ready to create its origin and end, finally realising the answers to all her impossible questions can only come to her when she writes her own version of the story. It is only then that the haunting creatures begin to soften and harmlessly melt away into themselves. Richa Jha’s lyrical prose and Eva Sanchez Gomez’s breathtaking visual poetry come together to narrate a tale that is both stunning and thought-provoking. For all the restless creative souls out there, The Middle presents an all-familiar trajectory of creating something new.

        Gaudï in Manhattan

        Eine phantastische Erzählung

        by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

        »Jahre später, als ich zuschaute, wie sich das Trauergefolge meines Meisters durch den Paseo de Gracia bewegte, erinnerte ich mich an den Tag, an dem ich Gaudí kennengelernt hatte und sich mein Schicksal für immer änderte.« Ein junger Architekturstudent begleitet den berühmten Architekten nach Amerika, wo Antonio Gaudí den Auftrag, einen Wolkenkratzer zu bauen, erhalten soll. Doch als sie in Manhattan ankommen, nehmen die Dinge einen ganz anderen Verlauf. Das Phantastische ist, wie Carlos Ruiz Zafón, der Autor des Welterfolgs Der Schatten des Windes, sagt, »der Grund- und Schlußstein im großen Palast der Literatur«. Das bestätigt auch diese kleine phantastische Erzählung, die Karl-Georg Hirsch mit unheimlichen Zeichnungen illustriert hat.

        Conga Line on the Amazon

        by David Myles Robinson

        David Myles Robinson was eight years old when he first got hooked on travel. Since then, he’s seen most of the world—all its continents plus, he laments, “far too many places where travel is now off-limits.”After a lifetime of visiting near and far, in heat and in cold, in comfort and in danger, Robinson has put it all together now in this unique collection of the varied travel adventures he’s found—and the lessons he’s learned from them. A Fellini-esque view of the Amazon, a Mercedes caravan to Istanbul, Jane Goodall's amazing chimps—just part of a travel trunk full of experiences guaranteed to keep you seesawing from “Boy, I'd love to do that" to “Sure glad it was him, not me.”In Conga Line on the Amazon, Robinson brings to his first travel book the same gift for intriguing narrative and sharp characterization that has won praise for his six highly successful novels. Some of his tales may be for the strong of heart, but they’re all for the reader with a yen to be entertained by one intrepid man’s adventures and misadventures exploring the strange and wonderful world we live in.

        Not Our Day to Die

        by Michael Sullivan

        It was work for Mike Sullivan–a flying job like the ones he'd done most of his life in many parts of the world–ferrying people, medicine, crops, supplies and almost anything else you can think of among the isolated jungle villages of Guatemala. Life in the farming co-ops there was simple, peaceful, and good, based on bedrocks of family, community, and faith.Then the repression began. A failed attempt at a coup had led to continued fighting between rebels and government, though in areas far from the almost-utopian Ixcan region. U.S. military and CIA intervention helped defeat the insurgency, but the social inequalities that had led to the movement remained, and the revolution went underground. The Guatemalan army, searching everywhere for those who opposed it, increased its control over the isolated jungle area. Co-op directors, teachers, catechists, and then anyone suspected of being one of or assisting the guerrillas was selectively "disappeared." The army turned to a scorched-earth policy, killing animals, burning crops, uprooting fruit trees, destroying towns, massacring their people. Throughout the Ixcan, those who survived fled. Some returned to their original mountain villages, others crossed the border into Mexico, and a third group survived for sixteen years hiding in the jungle–men, women, and children. Primeval growth took over the land as the war with the guerrilla movement raged on to encompass the entire nation.When finally peace accords were signed, the people of the Ixcan returned. Homes were rebuilt, land reclaimed, the area thrived again. But sixteen years were lost, along with countless lives. For Mike Sullivan, who had returned there when his help was needed, the story of those years–of how the people of the Ixcan survived, and of the many who didn't–was one that had to be told. In three visits, he conducted the interviews that form this book, talking with the villagers he'd known long before. At first, they spoke hesitantly, then with the flood force of vivid memory, telling of their first arrival at the Ixcan, the lives they'd made, and the years of the repression and worse. Their stories are gripping, fascinating, painful–but most of all, deeply human as we witness their struggle to survive and feel the force of the simple values that ultimately carried them through to a new and better life.

        Manual on Postharvest Handling of Mediterranean Tree Fruits and Nuts

        by Carlos H. Crisosto, Gayle M. Crisosto

        Postharvest is an important element of getting fresh, high quality fruit to the consumer and technological advances continue to outpace infrastructure. This book provides valuable, up-to-date information on postharvest handling of seven fruit and nut crops: almonds, figs, table grapes, pistachio, persimmon, peach and pomegranate. These crops are of particular importance in the Mediterranean region, but also to those countries that export and import these crops, where intensive economic resources are dedicated to developing information to understand and solve their postharvest problems. Written by a team of internationally-recognised postharvest experts, this manual collates and verifies essential but often difficult to access information on these important crops, pertinent for the World economics that affect agricultural communities. The book - Covers relevant postharvest topics for each crop across the growing, packing, shipping and retail postharvest phases - Has an emphasis on knowledge useful to solve current worldwide industry problems - Includes practical recommendations - Makes available information previously published in other languages This is must-have manual for growers and commodity handlers, cold storage managers, transportation personnel, produce managers and retail handlers, or anyone in the food chain that packs, transports, stores and sells these fruits and nuts.

        Der verlorene Freund

        Roman

        by Carlos María Domínguez, Susanne Lange

        »Der verlorene Freund« erzählt von einer gedankenlosen Geste mit verhängnisvollen Folgen und der notwendigen Illusion menschlicher Nähe. Zwei Männer kommen ins Gespräch, lernen sich kennen, freunden sich an. Eines Tages stürzt der eine, ein passionierter Kunstsammler, sich aus dem Fenster, der andere bleibt ratlos zurück. Er nimmt, um die Beweggründe des Verstorbenen zu verstehen, Kontakt zu dessen Familie und Bekannten auf. Eine seltsame Geschichte zeichnet sich ab, die Spur führt ihn in eine gottverlassene Bergarbeitersiedlung voller sonderbarer Figuren und zurück zu einem dunklen Familiengeheimnis. Und während er sich dort in den Unwägbarkeiten eines anderen Lebens zu verlieren droht, macht er schließlich eine Entdeckung von niederschmetternder Einfachheit. Carlos María Domínguez, der große Solitär der südamerikanischen Literatur, hat einen großen kleinen Roman von eindringlicher Schönheit geschrieben, über Verlust und Verlorenheit und darüber, dass wir auch die nicht kennen, die uns vertraut sind.
