        Chico Mendes, Updated Edition

        by Alexa Gordon Murphy

        The life of Chico Mendes is the story of a humble rubber tapper who became an international hero because of his work to save the rain forest and improve the lives of those who have made a living caring for and working on it for generations. As a rubber tapper in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, Mendes saw firsthand the problems caused by cattle ranchers buying large plots of land and burning the forest for their own commercial needs. He dedicated his life to teaching the world what was happening to this treasured natural resource and leading his fellow rubber tappers in a movement to save the forest—and their livelihood. Chico Mendes, Updated Edition explores the life, work, and legacy of a dedicated hero in the conservation movement.

        Tims geheimes Fußball-Tagebuch

        Elf Freunde und ich

        by Ocke Bandixen

        Tim's Secret Soccer Diary - 11 Friends and I (Vol.1)   What no one knew until now: Tim keeps a diary in which he tells of his almost normal life with school, annoying siblings and, of course, his soccer friend, the wonder striker. Above all, he notes down his ultimate coaching tricks.   What happens in Volume 1: Hands off! Top secret! The game against Ludwigsbrück is coming up, the fearful opponent of the team Tim coaches. They have a real secret weapon: the so-called pudding bomber, with the hardest shot in the league! Tim really needs good tactics and already writes his ideas for the next game in his diary in the bathroom in the morning. Here, even the toothbrushes in the cup inspire him to a certain lineup. Tim has an idea of what tactics he can use to stop him. But will it work in the big game?   And of course, there's our ace striker, who is supposed to give tips for the big game. How can they stop this pudding bomber? Fortunately, the two have worked out a tactic, which Tim communicates to his team and which is also adjusted again in the game. A coach has to be flexible. And in the end, of course, the decisive goal falls for Hegenwald, Tim's team. They have won the big game. Tim, of course, records everything in his diary!   • For all soccer-loving children and fans of Greg's Diary and Ace Striker • Funny and fast-paced narration • Illustrated in black-and-white by Dominik Rupp

        by Jochen Till / Dominik Rupp

        Freya and the Fearless - Plundering is a Skill! (Vol. 2) All Vikings are fearless? Not quite ... They call themselves "The Fearless" and they want to rob, plunder and pillage for all they're worth. The only problem is that the sight of a little girl makes them wet their pants. Freya has had enough of plundering Vikings and gives Heinar's people a good scare.What happens in Vol. 2:The sea is getting narrower and narrower, with land in sight to the right and left. So this must be England. Finally, our brave Vikings can once again plunder, rob and pillage to their heart's content. Heinar and his men sail leisurely up the Thames, until something blocks their way: Unfortunately, the British king's architects built the new bridge much too low. Now no ship can get out or back in and the English have to do without their beloved hot drink: tea. Freya and the Fearless turn Tower Bridge into a suspension drawbridge, bring back tea to the British, and casually invent the bearskin cap along the way.• A little girl shows the despondent Vikings what a real guy is• Funny sidekicks: The Odin family is watching from heaven• Innovative 90:10 text-image ratio, illustrated in b/w• For fans of ‘Vicky the Viking’ and ‘Asterix & Obelix’.• To be continued with Vol. 3 and 4
