2020How Animals Hammer, Drill and Strike
Tool Use in the Animal Kingdom
by Peter-René Becker
From insects to fish as well as birds and primates: the use of tools is amazingly widespread in the animal kingdom. It’s a misnomer to presume that humans are distinguished by tool use and conscious capacity. So where is culture initiated? The biologist Peter-René Becker has evaluated numerous studies and cites plenty of evidence for the use of the hammer and anvil, lances, bait or sponges. Animals also use “tools as social implements”. Ultimately, the depth of man’s conscience singles him out from other animals.

2021Sugar
Sweet knowledge for practice
by Reinhild Berger
A sweet treat is tempting, but the lurking dangers should not be underestimated. However, it is just as wrong to demonise all types of sugar in general as to avoid it altogether. In this entertaining mini reference book, Reinhild Berger takes the reader on an interesting journey through the labyrinth of sugar, sugar substitutes and sweeteners and gets to the bottom of many questions in the process: How much is too much? What alternatives are there, and which are advisable? How can one select the right one from the deceptive variety in the supermarket? What is the right way to read the food labels on the packaging? What knowledge does one need to be protected against misleading advertisements? - Learn how to recognise differences between the many types of sugar - Read where dangers lie, and which sugar does us good – and in what quantity - Understand how to interpret nutritional values – and that “no artificial sweetener ” does not mean “sugar-free” Welcome to the promising world of the sweet taste!

May 1998Santa Evita
Roman
by Tomás Eloy Martínez, Peter Schwaar
Eva Perón starb 1952 im Alter von nur 33 Jahren; eine bombastische Zeremonie des langsamen Abschieds nahm ihren Lauf. Evita war eine aus der Provinz auf- und von der Leinwand herabgestiegene Göttin, eine lebende Heilige. Was jedoch nach ihrem Tode geschah, scheint jedes Maß der Verehrung zu sprengen: Ihr Leib wurde einbalsamiert, versteckt, gejagt, ging auf eine makabre Wanderschaft und wurde zum Objekt unglaublicher Intrigen und Obsessionen – mehr noch als Evita selbst. »›Santa Evita‹ hat mich von der ersten Seite an überwältigt – ich war gerührt, litt, genoß, eignete mir schändliche Laster an und verriet meine heiligsten Prinzipien. Wenn ein Roman es fertigbringt, einen Sterblichen mit festen Grundsätzen und strengen Gewohnheiten zu derartigem Unfug zu verleiten, dann kann es keinen Zweifel geben: Er gehört entweder verboten, oder er muß unverzüglich gelesen werden.« »Mario Vargas Llosa« »Hier ist endlich der Roman, den ich immer lesen wollte.« »Gabriel García Márquez«

October 1989Theorien und Dinge
by Willard Van Orman Quine, Joachim Schulte
Quine vermag uns zu überraschen. Nicht nur, weil er die sonst vielfach trocken wirkenden Probleme von Sprachphilosophie und philosophischer Logik mit anschaulichen Formulierungen, treffenden Beispielen und verblüffenden Bildern lebendig zu machen versteht, sondern weil er überdies imstande ist, längst gesichert und abgetan geglaubten Themen neue Fragen und vor allem unvorhergesehene Antworten abzugewinnen. Neben Erörterungen technischlogischer Begründungsfragen, bei denen Quines mustergültige Klarheit und sein Verzicht auf einschüchterndes Brimborium erfrischend zu unvermuteten Einsichten verhelfen, finden sich in diesen Abhandlungen Auseinandersetzungen mit der Geschichte der Philosophie, namentlich des Empirismus, sowie kritische Darstellungen der Gedankenwelt Russells, Austins, Smarts, Goodmans, Gödels und Lewis Carrolls. Gleichsam nebenbei, doch nie als Nebensache, werden prinzipielle Probleme behandelt, etwa die Kontextabhängigkeit philosophischer Fragestellungen, und es werden ausgefallene Aspekte allgemeiner Begriffe deutlich gemacht, etwa die Rolle von Metaphern bei der Entwicklung wissenschaftlich fruchtbarer Ideen.

Literature & Literary StudiesDecember 1999The Devil is an Ass
by Peter Happe
This edition of "The Devil is an Ass" (1616) aims to provide an insight into Jonson's life and work, the theatrical qualities of the play, its political background and its textual history. In his introduction, Peter Happe looks at the special place of the play in Jonson's own life, his interest in London, the theatrical setting of the play and its sources and analogues. There are critical and explanatory commentaries and a glossarial index. The play is seen in its historical and political context, by linking it with late medieval and Elizabethan plays, as well as with the Jacobean stage. The text is meticulously and reliably edited, with modernized spelling for today's reader. A commentary is provided to explain difficult or significant passages. The stage history of the play also includes very recent productions. ;

FROM SCRATCH
A Futuristic Apocalyptic Thriller
by Ron Adam
Just as in a Greek tragedy, America is moving towards the inevitable collision with the ultimate threat: the fatal combination of fanatic Islam, nuclear arms, and the richest energy resources in the world. On September 11, 2001, Osama Bin Laden demonstrated to the world how US dollars and American technology could be easily turned around and used as a boomerang to strike into the heart of America. It is easy, though shattering, to imagine what can happen once such fanatic zeal is equipped with the monstrous power of nuclear weapons. A quick look at the map shows that the United States did learn the lesson, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were just the closing of the circle around the real threat – Iran. From Scratch takes you into the whirlpool that sweeps the world from a local war in the Persian Gulf through a military coup in Russia - Iran’s new old ally - to a veritable nuclear holocaust. An all-male US submarine crew that unwillingly played an active role in destroying mankind, finds out in the aftermath that the opposite task – to recreate the human race rests on their shoulders – From Scratch. They will emerge, after nine months underwater, at a remote Pacific Island where conditions can again support life. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, they carry with them two dozen frozen fertilized ova, each of which is destined to become a new "Eve", and who together will be the mothers of the new humankind. However, there are too many “Adams” on the island, and more than a hundred men are eagerly waiting for the 24 baby girls to mature into grown women. Therefore the struggle for control over the precious “resource” is predetermined. These men find out that human nature cannot be changed. Even after the ultimate war that destroyed everything, man will go on using sheer force in order to get what he wants and to resolve disputes. Despite the pessimistic scenario, the book is essentially optimistic, and is driven by faith in the law of history: although the good may suffer and pay a precious price, they will eventually prevail. The Author: A Fighter Pilot, Naval Officer, and Senior Hi-tech Engineer. Ron Adam has enjoyed an impressive military career, from Israeli Navy submarine and torpedo boat service to the Israeli Air Force as a fighter pilot, captain of an aircraft carrier, flight instructor, and electronic warfare staff officer. Holding a degree in Electronics Engineering, Adam has headed a 1.2 billion dollar defense program and has also established three high-tech start-ups. Today, Adam is a senior consultant to the aerospace industry, and shares his time between top-level engineering and writing of books and scripts. He is happily married and has 3 children. An English-Language eBook edition has been scheduled for publication in late 2017 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons ,Inc., CA. 180 pages, 15X21 cm

July 2018Vertraute Dinge, fremde Dinge
Essays
by Teju Cole, Uda Strätling
Teju Cole betrachtet Kunst, wie er die Welt betrachtet: mit dem Blick eines unsystematischen Historikers, der zunächst beobachtet, beschreibt, das Offensichtliche in den Blick nimmt, um zu dem weniger Sichtbaren vorzudringen, das darunterliegt. Seine Essays handeln von der Erfahrung des Unterwegsseins und von politischer Moral, von Rassismus und davon, warum auch ein Präsident, der die »richtigen« Bücher liest, in seinem Amt Menschen tötet. Und er schreibt über das, was ihn geistig nährt: über Baldwin, Sebald und Tranströmer; über Brasilien, Italien, Palästina; über die Ästhetik westafrikanischer Auftragsfotografie und über Instagram. In bereichernden, betörenden und originellen Essays offenbart Teju Cole den Reichtum seiner Interessen. Immer wieder zieht er erhellende Verbindungen, von der konkreten Gegenwart zur Dichtung, von der Geschichte zur Kunst. Vertraute Dinge, fremde Dinge wird zu einer Schule des Sehens.
