        Tropical Deception

        by David Robinson

        With some $200 million sunk into a real estate development on Kauai, the investment partners have a lot to lose if Peter Roosevelt succeeds in stopping the project for the sake of preserving Hawaii's rich and exotic environment. When Roosevelt is found dead in his home, his neighbor, Wayne Takei, is quickly arrested―and becomes the latest, and possibly the most difficult, challenge for Honolulu's top criminal defense attorney, Pancho McMartin.The obstacles to proving Takei's innocence are daunting. His gun was the murder weapon. He has no alibi. And his affair with Roosevelt's wife provides ample motive. Lies and deception quickly plague the proceedings as Pancho and his team wade through a slew of suspicious characters, all of whom have alibis. Suspense is high as time is running out for Pancho to save his client from a lifetime in prison.This is David Myles Robinson's fourth novel in the increasingly popular Pancho McMartin legal thriller series.

        Tour Operators and Operations

        Development, Management and Responsibility

        by Jacqueline Holland, David Leslie

        With a focus on the creation and distribution of packaged holidays, this text covers the fundamentals of business and the relationship between tour operators and destinations. With particular reference to the sustainability of both parties, it reviews the impacts and influences of tour operations and practices on destinations within the overriding context of tour operator responsibility. It addresses the entirety of this key component of the tourism sector, and reflects the shift in recent years from traditional 'sun, sea and sand' holiday to more bespoke packages. Taking into account tour operators as a growing factor among the major emergent economies of the world, this book is: - The first textbook to provide such in-depth content of tour operators and operations. - Written by authors with industry, research and teaching experience. - A wealth of information regarding popular eco, nature and adventure trips, as well as myriad niche and special interest products. Full of international and highly topical case studies, exercises and discussion questions, Tour Operators and Operations: Development, Management and Responsibility is a fundamental text for students of tourism.

        Einführung in einen Begriff und seine Geschichte

        by Umberto Eco, Günter Memmert

        Indem Eco den Bedeutungswandel des »Zeichen«-Begriffs darstellt, seine Wendepunkte in der Abfolge und in der Wechselbeziehung der Theorien und »Disziplinen« (der Philosophie, der Mathematik, der Ästhetik, der Linguistik etc.) erkundet, beschreibt er einen Hauptstrang der Denk- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte.

        Plundering the Planet

        Things We Must Do Now

        by Franz Alt, Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker

        “The Limits to Growth” was published by the Club of Rome in 1972 when the term “eco” was more defamatory than a real trend. That never worried Franz Alt and Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker, a long-standing co-chairman of the Club of Rome. The two committed and renowned environmental experts have campaigned for decades for a change of heart in how we treat our planet. Their book delivers a stark diagnosis about the state of the Earth – though without giving up hope. They search from various angles for a way out of the global crisis: what is the blueprint for a democracy that addresses humanity’s needs and for a sustainable economy? Are we ready to learn from nature and to make not just human beings, but all living creatures our priority? Alt and von Weizsäcker offer courage, and their numerous examples set out a vision for the future that respects the planet’s eco-systems.

        by Poznanski, Ursula

        "LAST CHANCE." Nika looks in the mirror one Sunday morning, feeling rather hungover, to see this message daubed on the glass. Who wrote it? And what does it mean? Where are Nika’s house keys and her phone? Where’s Jenny, her flatmate? And why does she feel so terrible this morning – surely she didn’t have that much to drink last night? It’s only when she turns on the TV and sees the morning news that Nika realises it’s not Sunday at all – it’s Tuesday. Two whole days have gone by, and she has no memory of them. During those two days something terrible must have happened. But what?With Aquila, Ursula Poznanski has produced a true psychological thriller. She tells the story almost entirely in reverse, keeping the reader on tenterhooks until the very last page. Not until the shocking twist at the end of the book do we find out what really happened to Nika during those two lost days.

        Tristano

        by Nanni Balestrini, Peter O. Chotjewitz, Peter O. Chotjewitz, Umberto Eco

        »Tape Mark I« (1961) von Nanni Balestrini gilt als erstes Gedicht, das je auf einem Computer geschrieben wurde. Der Autor verfolgte jedoch einen radikaleren Plan: Er wollte am Rechner einen Liebesroman verfassen, in seine Bestandteile zerlegen und diese willkürlich kombinieren. 1966 erschien sein Tristano bei Feltrinelli – als »normales« Buch mit 10 Kapiteln zu jeweils 30 Abschnitten in einer festgelegten Reihenfolge. Vier Jahrzehnte später erlauben es die Fortschritte der digitalen Drucktechnik, das Buch so zu veröffentlichen, wie der Autor es ursprünglich geplante hatte: Per Computer werden aus den 30 Abschnitten der 10 Kapitel jeweils 20 ausgewählt und in eine neue, zufällige Reihenfolge gebracht. Somit ist jedes der 2.000 Exemplare dieser deutschen Originalausgabe ein Unikat. Alle Bände sind auf dem Umschlag fortlaufend nummeriert. Die ersten 5.999 Tristano-Romane sind in italienischer Sprache bei Derive Approdi (Rom) erschienen. Die deutsche Ausgabe beginnt mit der Nummer 6.000 und endet mit der Nummer 7.999. Im Anschluß sind englische und französische Ausgaben geplant. Mit einem Vorwort von Umberto Eco und einem Nachwort von Peter O. Chotjewitz.

        Cryptos

        by Poznanski, Ursula

        Where do we go when Nowhere is the only destination left?   Kerrybrook is Jana‘s favourite virtual escape. An idyllic fishing village with beautiful nature and, every now and then, a breeze of fresh air from the nearby sea. Jana, is this world‘s designer and person in power, she’s satisfied with her masterpiece. Best job so far. Until one day, a dead body is found, in both, ’Virtual Reality‘ and the real world. In times of climate change, VR is the only safe place for humankind. That‘s why Jana needs to solve the crime, she’s responsible for stopping the destruction.   • CliFi Thriller (Climate Fiction): Climate change & virtual reality • For fans of Black Mirror (Netflix) • All age readers • Strong, female protagonist • Highly relevant topic   WHITE RAVENS recommendation (2021):   "In the not too distant future, the world is an inhospitable place: droughts, storms, floods. That’s why world designers construct »alternative realities«, such as landscapes populated by dinosaurs, life at court in the Middle Ages, and surfing and chilling out on a beach. People can switch between these worlds at will and, when they die there, they are not truly dead; instead, they merely return to the »real world« – same as at night when they sleep. Then they are reunited with their body, which is lying inside a capsule.   In »Cryptos«, Ursula Poznanski pulls out all the stops of storytelling: She embeds numerous references to human and intellectual history in an action-packed and extremely suspenseful thriller plot. In the process, she raises central existential and ontological questions that result from the interplay between the real and the virtual worlds. This complex dystopian novel is narrated in such an enjoyable way that readers will hardly notice their brains going into overdrive as they devour it."

        A complexity theory of literature

        by Lydia R. Cooper

        Combining the fields of evolutionary economics and the humanities, this book examines McCarthy's literary works as a significant case study demonstrating our need to recognise the interrelated complexities of economic policies, environmental crises, and how public policy and rhetoric shapes our value systems. In a world recovering from global economic crisis and poised on the brink of another, studying the methods by which literature interrogates narratives of inevitability around global economic inequality and eco-disaster is ever more relevant.

Um sie wiederzugewinnen, ist er zum Äußersten bereit – er sucht sich einen Job. Den erstbesten, den er kriegen kann: Assistent eines Privatdetektivs. Sein Chef ist Solar Lonsky, ein kränkliches, fettleibiges Genie, das sein Haus nicht verlassen kann. Sams erster Auftrag ist die Beschattung einer mysteriösen Frau. Eigentlich muss er nichts weiter tun, als ihr durch Los Angeles zu folgen, doch schon bald verfällt er ihr hoffnungslos und wird in einen Mordfall verwickelt, in dem Satanisten, Succubi, Untergrundfilmer, Hollywoodstars und mexikanische Gangster eine nicht unbedeutende Rolle spielen. Mystery Girl ist ein Thriller über die Gefahren von Kunst und Liebe, ein Schnellkurs in »Verfall der westlichen Zivilisation« und ein durchgeknallter Trip durch L.A. Und, ach ja, es ist eine irre spannende, wahnsinnig gewiefte und brutal komische Geschichte.
