January 2018Forestry, Second Edition
by Catherine L. Raven, Series Editor: William G. Hopkins
For centuries, forests have provided humans and wildlife with shelter and food, but as the need for more wood products from trees increases, so too does the danger of losing the source of our natural wealth. Left untouched, forests provide beauty and recreation that continue to improve our quality of life, and it is our responsibility to take care of that which takes care of us. Forestry, Second Edition explores the science of forestry, from the types of trees and shrubs grown for commercial and medicinal use, to the impact of trees on the environment and human society. This reference is a vital tool for students and teachers of the natural world.

European historyOctober 2013Popular science and public opinion in eighteenth-century France
by Michael R. Lynn
Now available in paperback, Michael R. Lynn's book analyses the popularisation of science in Enlightenment France. He examines the content of popular science, the methods of dissemination, the status of the popularisers and the audience, and the settings for dissemination and appropriation. Lynn introduces individuals like Jean-Antoine Nollet, who made a career out of applying electric shocks to people, and Perrin, who used his talented dog to lure customers to his physics show. He also examines scientifically oriented clubs like Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier's Musée de Monsieur which provided locations for people interested in science. Phenomena such as divining rods, used to find water and ores as well as to solve crimes; and balloons, the most spectacular of all types of popular science, demonstrate how people made use of their new knowledge. Lynn's study provides a clearer understanding of the role played by science in the Republic of Letters and the participation of the general population in the formation of public opinion on scientific matters.

by Dermanskyi Oleksandr
The townspeople do not crave a single holiday as zealously as Christmas, when the city is noisy and carefree. Everything around is filled with joyful laughter, carols, cheerful voices.

But this year, things may be different, because the creepy Ms. Mizzle and the insidious Mr. Raven have already begun to implement their sinister plan. And only little Tyshko and his faithful dog Kuchugurka can stop them. But will they be able to return the magic book to the grandfather storyteller and save Christmas? The book was created by two brilliant Ukrainian masters of pen and brush Sashko Dermanskiy and Rostyslav Popskiy.

July 1984Das Geheimnis der Marie Rogêt und andere Erzählungen
Aus dem Amerikanischen von Werner Beyer, Felix Friedrich und anderen
by Edgar Allan Poe, Felix Friedrich
Edgar Allan Poe wurde am 19. Januar 1809 in Boston geboren. Nach dem Tod seiner Eltern 1811 wuchs er bei dem reichen Kaufmann John Allan auf. Poes Stiefvater verweigerte ihm ausreichende finanzielle Unterstützung, so daß er sein Studium an der Universität Virginia und seine Ausbildung an der Militärakademie West Point nicht abschließen konnte. Poe schrieb bereits zu Studienzeiten Gedichte, jedoch mit geringem Erfolg. Nach der Hochzeit mit seiner 13jährigen Cousine Virginia Clemm begann er für verschiedene Zeitschriften zu arbeiten. Seine Rezensionen und Artikel machten ihn als Autor bekannt, die Familie lebte jedoch in armen Verhältnissen. Berühmt wurde er mit dem Gedicht The Raven (Der Rabe, 1845). Seine Gedichte und Kurzprosastücke gelten als Wegbereiter des Symbolismus, seine Kurzgeschichten und Erzählungen zählen zu den Meisterwerken des Genres. Heute ist er vor allem als Verfasser von Detektiv- und Schauergeschichten, wie The Murders in the Rue Morgue (Der Doppelmord in der Rue Morgue, 1841), bekannt. Mit C. Auguste Dupin schuf er außerdem eine der bekanntesten Detektivfiguren der Kriminalliteratur. Edgar Allan Poe starb am 7. Oktober 1849 unter ungeklärten Umständen.
