        Neil Armstrong

        Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre

        by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Christophe Jacques, Silke Kleemann

        Neil ist zwei Jahre alt, als er mit seinem Vater eine Flugshow besucht. Von dem Spektakel ist er so begeistert, dass er anschließend nur noch einen Wunsch hat: Er will selbst fliegen. Zunächst schickt er Modellflugzeuge in die Luft, aber schon mit sechzehn erwirbt er seine Fluglizenz. Er studiert Flugzeugbau, wird Pilot bei der US-Marine und fliegt Einsätze im Koreakrieg. Als die NASA nach Testpiloten sucht, bewirbt er sich. Und schreibt als Astronaut und Kommandant der Apollo 11 Geschichte. Am 24. Juli 1969 setzt er als erster Mensch der Welt einen Fuß auf die Oberfläche des Mondes. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

        Die Movo-Tapes

        Eine Karriere als anderer. Roman

        by A. F. Th. Heijden, Helga Beuningen

        »Ich kann mich nicht mal richtig vorstellen, denn ich habe meinen Namen verhökert.« Tatsächlich hat der göttliche Apollo bereits Anfang der 1960er, in Geldnöten befindlich, seinen guten Namen an die NASA verkauft – für einen Pappenstiel, so daß der ehemalige Hausherr des Delphi-Orakels künftig vom Horoskopschreiben leben muß. Bei seinen Studien der menschlichen Natur stößt er auf den jungen Niederländer Tibbolt Satink, Jahrgang 1973 und seit seiner Geburt von einem Fußleiden geplagt. Deutet letzteres auf Tibbolt als einen modernen Ödipus? Einen, dem seine leiblichen Eltern fremd sind, einen, der von dem Liebespärchen, das sich 1973 bei Dreharbeiten zu einem Pornofilm kennenlernt, nichts weiß? Tibbolt hat große Pläne; so will er die wüsteste Hooliganschlacht Amsterdams anzetteln, vor allem aber die lästigen Begleiterscheinungen des menschlichen Lebens und Sterbens einem Alter ego mit Namen Movo (niederländisch kurz für »schlimme Füße«) aufhalsen. An den Tapes, auf denen Tibbolt von seinem Vorhaben berichtet, ist nicht nur Apollo sehr interessiert.

        On the Move

        by Art studio Agrafka (Authors), Art studio Agrafka (Illustrators)

        The universe is always on the move: Nothing in it remains completely at rest. Movement is natural: The Earth, the water on it, the atmosphere, the continents, and all living organisms exist in a state of constant motion. We walk, run, jump, crawl, swim, and fly. We travel. This book is about movement and travel—not only by people, but also that of animals, plants, the wind, water, and our planet. It describes journeys for the purpose of trade and commerce, journeys for the purpose of pleasure and repose or for survival, as well as scientific expeditions and pilgrimages. It’s about migrations, maps, navigation, and, finally, about finding your own path. Travellers often hear questions associated with "where" and "where from:" "Where are you going?", "Where are you from?" This book is a visual and intellectual expedition through thousands of years of movement, in search of answers to these as well as many other questions related to movement.       From 6 to 9 years, 2896 words Rightsholders: Ivan Fedechko,  ivan.fedechko@starlev.com.ua

        Book of the Hunt

        by Gaston Phoebus

        Written between 1387 and 1389 by Gastone of Foix, the Book of the Hunt is one of the most interesting testimonies of the cultural history of this time. The four parts of the manuscript show the naturalistic knowledge at the end of the 14thcentury, based on the direct observation of the natural world. It was used as a manual of natural history up until the 19th century. The text is complemented by 87 miniatures in large format, executed by the Master of the Bedford Hours, as well as by a great number of illuminated initial letters and floral decorations that make the pages of the manuscript one of the masterworks of French miniature. The style of the miniatures is very particular, related to those of contemporary tapestries: the horizon of the scene is kept high, thus creating an ample space for the characters; the flora is described with a singular effect of relief, obtained by juxtaposing different tonalities of colour.

        Protection, Patronage, or Plunder? British Machinations and (B)uganda’s Struggle for Independence

        by Author(s): Apollo N. Makubuya

        In the scramble for Africa, Britain took a lion’s share of the continent. It occupied and controlled vast territories, including the Uganda Protectorate – which it ruled for 68 years. Early administrators in the region encountered the progressive kingdom of Buganda, which they incorporated into the British Empire. Under the guise of protection, indirect rule and patronage, Britain overran, plundered and disempowered the kingdom’s traditional institutions. On liquidation of the Empire, Buganda was coaxed into a problematic political order largely dictated from London. Today, 56 years after independence, the kingdom struggles to rediscover itself within Uganda’s fragile politics. Based on newly de-classified records, this book reconstructs a history of the machinations underpinning British imperial interests in (B)Uganda and the personalities who embodied colonial rule. It addresses Anglo-Uganda relations, demonstrating how Uganda’s politics reflects its colonial past, and the forces shaping its future. It is a far-reaching examination of British rule in (B)uganda, questioning whether it was designed for protection, for patronage or for plunder.
