The Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss
My Life with Terence McKenna
by Dennis McKenna
Tracing the McKenna brothers’ childhood in western Colorado during the 1950s and ’60s, Dennis chronicles their adolescent adventures and formative encounters with mind-altering substances, along with the people and ideas that shaped them both. Dennis, now world-renowned for this ethnobotanical work, describes his early interests in cosmology and astrology, his sometimes rocky relationship with his older brother, how their paths diverged later in life, and his mother’s and Terence’s battles with cancer. In his account of what has become known as “The Experiment at La Chorrera”—which Terence documented in his own 1989 book, True Hallucinations— Dennis describes visions of merging mushroom and human DNA, the brothers’ predictions for the future, and their evolving ideas about society and consciousness. In this updated edition, Dennis also reflects on scientific revelations, climate change, and the social and political crises of our time.

September 2011Die Weihnachten des Mr. Scrooge
by Charles Dickens, Leo Feld
Ebenezer Scrooge ist ein Geizkragen. Er behandelt seine Mitarbeiter schlecht, ist hartherzig gegenüber seinen Schuldnern und hat für seine Mitmenschen außer Mißtrauen nichts übrig. Auch an Weihnachten – für ihn ein wahrlich überflüssiges Fest – sitzt er am liebsten in seinem Büro und zählt Geld. Doch eines Heiligabends wird er von den Geistern der vergangenen, gegenwärtigen und zukünftigen Weihnachtsfeste heimgesucht. Sie zeigen ihm das Glück, das er durch seine Habgier und Selbstsucht versäumt hat, aber auch das jämmerliche Dasein und die Einsamkeit, die er fristen wird, falls er sein Leben nicht ändert. Schlechte Aussichten für Mr. Scrooge! Oder gibt es doch noch Hoffnung für ihn?

September 2019Mr. Pinguin (2) und die Burg der dunklen Schatten
by Smith, Alex T.
Mit Charme und Fischstäbchen-Sandwich ins Abenteuer In Schneedorf-auf-dem-Gipfel sind alle Haustiere verschwunden! Auch wenn es in den Bergen leider keine Fischstäbchen gibt, beschließt Mister Pinguin, den Dorfbewohnern zu helfen. Da funkeln in der dunklen Burg am Berggipfel gruselige Lichter auf, und es riecht nach düsteren Geheimnissen … Dieses Abenteuer ist schon auf den ersten Blick ein absoluter Hingucker! Zweifarbig in Pinguinfarben illustriert (in Schwarz und Orange), ergänzen sich die Bilder und der Text einfach perfekt. In seinem zweiten Fall muss es Mister Pinguin, der treuherzige Pinguin mit dem großen Herzen und der Spürnase mit Schnee und Eis, Schlangen und Geheimagenten aufnehmen. Mitten im Schnee und gestärkt mit reichlich Kakao und Zimtschnecken hecken der liebenswürdige Pinguin-Detektiv und sein bester Freund Colin, die Kung-Fu-kämpfende Spinne, einen abenteuerlichen Plan aus. Was die beiden tierischen Ermittler jedoch nicht ahnen: Die unheimlichen und düsteren Rätsel in Schneedorf reichen für mindestens hundert Abenteuer! Liebenswert, witzig und ein bisschen bis ziemlich kurios: Dies ist Band 2 der außergewöhnlich gestalteten Reihe rund um selbsternannten Detektiv und Abenteurer Mister Pinguin. Mit aufwändigem Layout ist „Mister Pinguin und die Burg der dunklen Schatten“ nicht nur für alle Abenteurer und Leser ab 8 Jahren geeignet, sondern auch zum Vorlesen bereits ab 7 Jahren. Zur Reihe: Mister Pinguin ist ein Pinguin. Er ist schwarz-weiß, hat einen kleinen Schnabel und zwei flossige Flügel. Wenn er vorwärtswatschelt, dann wackelt sein Hinterteil genauso hin und her, wie das Hinterteil eines Pinguins eben wackelt. Aber etwas an Mister Pinguin ist ziemlich ungewöhnlich. Er ist nämlich nicht einfach NUR ein Pinguin. Er ist ein Abenteurer! Das kann man an seinem abenteuerlichen Hut, der riesigen Lupe und der ausgebeulten Umhängetasche erkennen, in der er ein leckeres Fischstäbchen-Sandwich als Proviant mit sich herumträgt. Mister Pinguins bester Freund ist diese Spinne. Ihr Name ist Colin. Colin ist richtig gut in Kung Fu, also nehmt euch in Acht! KAWUMM! Über Band 1, Mr. Pinguin und der verlorene Schatz: „Grandios. … Der Text ist in großer Schrift luftig gesetzt, sodass Kinder, die am Leseanfang stehen am Ende mit viel Spaß ein ganzes dickes Buch allein geschafft haben - toll!“ BÜCHERmagazin „‘Mr. Pinguin und der verlorene Schatz‘ ist eine rasante, sehr lustige Geschichte." Marion Klötzer, NZZ „Ein kriminalistisches Abenteuer mit Herz, Verstand und Fischstäbchensandwich.“ Gießener Allgemeine Zeitung, Maren Bonacker „Das Spiel mit der Sprache und macht Leseanfängern großes Vergnügen, das durch die skurrilen Zeichnungen noch verstärkt wird." Süddeutsche Zeitung, Roswitha Budeus-Budde „Herrlich skurrile Charaktere, eine witzige Story und humorvoll im Retrostil bebildert: Dieses Buch ist ein echter Lesetipp!" Westfälische Nachrichten "Das Buch ist sehr lustig. Außerdem ist es hübsch gestaltet. Es sind richtig viele lustige Bilder drin." Emma, 9 Jahre, im Weser Kurier

Science & MathematicsJuly 2018British and Irish Butterflies
An Island Perspective
by Roger L H Dennis, Peter B Hardy
Islands are special places; they can be havens for unique plants and animals and refuges for wildlife. This book investigates the biogeography of butterfly species over the British islands, particularly the factors that influence their presence on the islands and that have made each island's butterfly fauna distinctive. The book contains a full log of records of species on the islands and much supporting information. The first three chapters set the scene, illustrating the basics of island biogeography theory, their changing circumstances during the current Holocene interglacial, and studies of natural history of British butterflies that mark the islands as the most intensively studied region for wildlife in the world. The book advances by increasing resolution downscale from a European continental perspective, through patterns and changes on the British mainland, a comparison of the two dominant islands of Britain and Ireland, to a close inspection of the dynamics of species on the multitude of offshore islands. Detailed investigations include contrasts in species' richness on the islands and then of the incidences of each species. Case studies highlight the continual turnover of species on islands. Attention is then given to evolutionary changes since the time that glaciers enveloped Europe. A powerful message is conveyed for the maintenance of butterfly species on the smaller British islands now experiencing population losses at a rate unprecedented since the spread of the last ice sheets: the incontrovertible importance of maintaining populations of species on nearby mainland sources for islands as pools for future migrants.

Journey in Trumplandia: The Rise of Populism in America
by Tiberiu Dianu
The book is a collection of essays about the transformation of America, which has turned from a united nation to one more divided than ever. Some pundits predict that, if things don’t change, another civil war could occur. Have we reached a point of no return? Hopefully, America is mature enough to learn from its mistakes and avoid further scars along its evolving history. "Trumplandia is a welcome addition toward understanding current events, Washington’s international policy, and the present American society; a society polarized and divided as it has not been since the Civil War.” NICHOLAS DIMA, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor and Research Associate, Nelson Institute, James Madison University, Virginia. "The book is fascinating. It provides background to, and insights into [the] current and past political history as well as offering a personal view... of the country and society. Presented in thematic form in chapters and sections, the insights offered provide a suggestive radiography...” Dr. DENNIS DELETANT, OBE, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, Washington DC. "There has been this backsliding in... what a truly functioning rule-of-law state is, that has proper separation of co-equal powers, which, if you don’t keep working on that, you backslide. And I am even worried about that here, in the United States right now, about backsliding.” OBIE MOORE, Esq., OLM Advisors LLC, Washington DC “Indeed, Trumplandia should be a welcome addition to any scholar, student or layman’s library, especially in its international edition. If anyone loses sleep over its challenging assertions, then it will have been well worth it.” ERNESTO MORALES HIZON, Ph.D. Candidate in American and Comparative Politics at Claremont Graduate University, Member, Integrated Bar of the Philippines ABOUT THE AUTHOR: TIBERIU DIANU has practiced law in Romania (as a corporate lawyer, judge, senior counselor at the Ministry of Justice, university professor and senior legal researcher), and in the United States (as a legal expert for the judiciary). He published several books and a host of articles in law, politics, and post-communist societies. Tiberiu currently lives and works in Washington, DC.

2022Medication Management in the Hospital
A workbook for ward pharmacists
by Dr. Insa Gross, MSc Andreas Fischer and Dr. Holger Knoth
The ward pharmacist in the hospital is like the airbag in a car. As part of a fail-safe system, they monitor and optimise the patient’s drug therapy. Ward pharmacists work hand in hand with medical and nursing staff. That situation is also reflected in this workbook. All the cases presented were patients who had been cared for, evaluated and documented by a physician-pharmacist duo or similar team with combined medical and pharmaceutical expertise. The editorial team considered it important to illustrate all critical indications typically encountered in a hospital. In assessing and selecting the examples, they were able to draw upon the many years’ experience of their pioneering work as hospital and ward pharmacists. Practical tips, checklists, comments and advice for working in the ward environment round off the individual chapters. By learning from actual cases, this book offers the unique chance to develop an instinct for the pitfalls of drug safety. That applies to those who have successfully completed further training in the field of “Medication Management in the Hospital” and for all who wish to ensure the optimum treatment for their patients through competent work in clinical pharmacy.
