Roman | Ein düsterer Psychothriller aus Skandinavien

„Vermisst. Die 16-jährige Laura Anderson wurde zuletzt am 13.8. um 23 Uhr am Strand von Palokaski gesehen, wo sie mit Freunden eine Party feierte. Laura ist schlank, mittelgroß, hat blaue Augen und schwarz gefärbte Haare. Sie trug eine enge weiße Jeans und eine rosa Karobluse und Turnschuhe.“ „Mia ging auf das weiße f auf blauem Grund. Keine Fotos. Keine neuen Kommentare oder Likes. Aber eine Nachricht. Und im selben Moment wusste sie, dass sie keine Sekunde mehr schlafen würde. Die Nachricht kam von Johanna und war kurz: Laura ist tot.“ Mia Pohjavirta musste ihren Polizei-Job für Ermittlung in sozialen Netzwerken wegen ihrer Internet-Sucht an den Nagel hängen. Als Sonderpädagogin ist sie jetzt an ihre alte Schule und damit in ihre Heimatstadt zurückkehrt. Es soll endlich Ruhe in ihr Leben einkehren. Aber am ersten Schultag nach den Ferien macht es schnell die Runde: die 16jährige Schülerin Laura Anderson ist verschwunden. Ihre Eltern richten in ihrer Verzweiflung auf der Suche nach ihrer Tochter eine Facebook Seite ein und lösen damit einen wahren Shitstorm aus. Von Satanskult, Drogen und Sadomaso-Spielen ist die Rede, jemand will Laura in Amsterdam gesichtet haben. Jeder hat seine eigene Theorie, wo Laura steckt, aber am meisten scheint Mias Bruder Niklas zu wissen, der als Psychologe an der Schule arbeitet. Der Sommer, der für Mia so strahlend und hoffnungsvoll begann, wird zum düsteren Albtraum. Teil eins der Palokaski-Trilogie. Wenn »Gone Girl« und »Twin Peaks« aufeinandertreffen...

November 2010Das Kaninchenhaus
Roman
by Angelica Ammar, Laura Alcoba
Mit sieben Jahren ist es schwer zu verstehen, warum der Vater im Gefängnis sitzt und die Mutter im Haus heimlich Flugblätter druckt. Aber Laura versteht. Auch, als sie nicht mehr in die Schule gehen soll, wegen der unangenehmen Fragen dort. Auch, als sie im Kofferraum eines Wagens zu ihren Großeltern gefahren wird. Und sie weiß, wie man auf der Straße Verfolger erkennt und warum sie unter falschem Namen lebt. Es sind die Jahre der Militärdiktatur in Argentinien. Die Montoneros, eine bewaffnete Widerstandsbewegung, der Lauras Eltern angehören, haben in dem heruntergekommenen Haus am Rande von La Plata eine geheime Druckerpresse eingerichtet. Nach außen rechtfertigt eine Kaninchenzucht die politischen Umtriebe der Bewegung. Ebenso beschützend wie bedrohlich, wird das Kaninchenhaus zum Unterschlupf für das jäh der Normalität entrissene Kind, das mit banger Faszination die Welt der Erwachsenen betritt. Aus der berührenden Sicht eines siebenjährigen Mädchens erzählt die argentinische Autorin Laura Alcoba von einer Kindheit, die zugleich Schrecken und Zauber birgt.

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.

Exhibition catalogues & specific collectionsMarch 2011Mary Kelly
Projects, 1973–2010
by Edited by Dominique Heyes-Moore
Mary Kelly, we are told, was not a feminist artist, but a feminist who made art. Designed to accompany a major retrospective at the Whitworth Art Gallery, this book contains essays and interviews which show the implications of that distinction and also the legacy of feminists and feminism in relation to art. Challenging and beautiful, Kelly's artworks address questions of sexuality, identity and historical memory in the form of large-scale narrative installations. The works are agilely discussed in contributions by some of the luminary feminist art scholars of our time, including Janet Wolff, Laura Mulvey, Carol Mavor and Amelia Jones, making this collection an essential new text in the discourse on art, feminism, psychoanalysis and representation.

Insecticide & herbicide technologyAugust 1996Illustrations of Quarantine Pests for Europe
by Edited by I M Smith, Anne S Roy
This book is a companion volume to Quarantine Pests for Europe, published originally in 1992 by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) and CAB INTERNATIONAL (CABI) for the European Union. The previous book provides information on identity, hosts, geographical distribution, biology, detection and identification, means of movement and dispersal, pest significance, phytosanitary measures and a bibliography for all the quarantine pests listed by EPPO and the European Union, but does not contain any illustrations. A second edition of Quarantine Pests for Europe will be published at the end of 1996. The present book contains approximately 400 colour illustrations, most of them new in relation to the very first illustrations of the EPPO Data Sheets which appeared in Bulletin OEPP/EPPO Bulletin in the 1980s. The book covers most of the quarantine pests listed by EPPO and the European Union, including those which have been added to the quarantine lists since 1992. Thus it will be compatible with the second edition of the volume of text data sheets. The quarantine pests concerned are either not present in the Euro-Mediterranean region, or only present to a limited extent and submitted to official control measures. The sequence of presentation is as for the text volume, i.e. insects, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, viruses, parasitic plants. Within each chapter, the pest illustrations appear in alphabetical order. An index including scientific names and synonyms is included at the end of the book. Accompanying text is presented in both English and French. Although it has not been possible to illustrate every listed quarantine pest, this book provides a unique collection that will help phytosanitary inspectors, plant health officers, and others working in the field of plant quarantine, or plant protection in general, to recognize and identify quarantine pests. The book is published by EPPO in association with CABI, and is available for sale exclusively through CABI.
