        Feline Reproduction

        by Aime Johnson, Michelle Kutzler

In Feline Reproduction, the global author team cover all aspects of reproduction in the queen and the tom. Beginning with basic anatomy and normal reproduction, it goes on to cover practical knowledge about pregnancy, neonatal care, breeding soundness exams, and semen cryopreservation. It also includes an overview of factors, diseases, and abnormal conditions affecting reproduction, such as infertility, causes of abortion and contraception. Covering both pet patients and nondomestic species, this book provides a thorough grounding in feline reproduction for the general veterinary practitioner, veterinary student, animal scientist, and experienced cat breeder.

        Una cabeza distinta (A different head)

        by Luis Panini, Chiara Carrer

        This child tells us that he is not happy with the head that he has. He thinks it is a wrong head. The parents, after listening to him, take him to a specialist, who agrees with the little one. A mysterious man dressed in black supplies him with heads in exchange for his own. The child tries several, until he finds the one he was looking for. A reindeer head, a crocodile head, a whisk head: the narrator child and protagonist of this story tells us about his disagreement with the head he has and the vicissitudes that he has to go through to find the head with which he will finally agree: the head of a grown man, of a mathematician. This is a story of search for identity and growth, developed with fine fantasy and humor, with the wisdom of someone he has sought and perhaps already found.

        Mexique

        El nombre del barco

        by María José Ferrada, Ana Penyas

        On May of 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, 456 sons and daughters of republican fighters took the transatlantic boat Mexique, that set sail in Bordeau to arrive in Mexico. Previsions were that they would stay there three or four months, but the Republican defeat and the beginning of the Second World War changed that brief exile into a definitive one.  This books tells the story not only of those children, but also about the ship, being aware that we do not know how many boats try to cross our oceans every day, moving human beings that have full rights to a proper way of living and not to stand over a land that tears apart below their feet.

        Für diese Nacht

        by Juan Carlos Onetti, Svenja Becker, Jürgen Dormagen

        Onettis Roman aus dem Jahr 1943 spielt in einer einzigen Nacht in einer Hafenstadt im Bürgerkrieg und folgt einem Mann, der alles daransetzt, seinen politischen Gegnern und früheren Weggefährten zu entkommen und die eigene Haut zu retten, obwohl er um die Vergeblichkeit dieses Unterfangens weiß. Ein Roman, der etwas von der schwarzen Serie der Kriminalromane der frühen vierziger Jahre hat: ein thrill von existentieller Eindringlichkeit. Dieser dunkel-grelle, fast expressionistisch ausgeleuchtete Roman aus dem europäischen Kriegsjahr 1943 ist ein riskantes Unternehmen des noch jungen Autors Juan Carlos Onetti: Kann ich mich politischem Irrsinn entziehen? Wie schuldig werde ich, wenn ich mich nicht einmische? Für diese Nacht ist Onettis politischster und spannendster Roman – ein Buch von existentieller Eindringlichkeit.
