        Stalemate: There can be no winners

        Stalemate: There can be no winners

        by Hugo N. Gerstl

        Thirty-five years ago, Libertyville had a population of 2,000. Its citizens thought it would become the next  Atlanta. But it’s now 1989, and the population is down to 278 and falling. The town’s remaining employer, the outdated, money-losing Libertyville Cotton Works, owned by an elderly Holocaust survivor, has been sold to a conglomerate that intends to reap huge tax and political benefits.But two other factions have different ideas. Bishop William Wyatt Walker, spellbinding African-American televangelist whose church takes in $500 million a year in contributions from the poorest of the poor, decides the church has lost touch with the common man and needs a new symbol of salvation – the Libertyville Cotton Works and the 40 acres that surround it. He’ll do whatever it takes to make sure the church gets the property.Meanwhile, a brilliant, Mexican-American lawyer and his militant contingent, faced with “the country’s growing paranoia toward Hispanics,” seeks to create his own Sanctuary Nation. His “army” takes armed control of the cotton works, holding hostages to ensure that the factory and its acreage are deeded to “the first truly Mexican town in the Southeastern U.S.”The stage is set for a Stalemate of epic proportions, a war where there can be no winners. Like James Dickey’s Deliverance, this book is a mixture of a thriller tinged with adventure, camaraderie, dread, and the horror that only an unexpected, unspeakable situation can inflict. Human nature is human nature, and it is impossible to predict how anyone would act if confronted with a similar situation. Powerful and suspenseful, Stalemate explores the best – and the worst – in the human spirit as it thunders toward a spine-chilling climax.International best-selling author Hugo N. Gerstl’s latest work is one you won’t be able to put down – and one you’ll long remember. Published by Pangæa Publishing Group 184 pages – 23 cm x 15 cm

        Wie das Zebra zu seinen Streifen kommt

        Essays zur Naturgeschichte

        by Stephen Jay Gould, Stephen Cappellari

        Stephen Jay Goulds Essays zum Thema Evolution befassen sich sowohl mit dem rein politischen und nichtintellektuellen Streit, der durch die Anhänger der Kreationslehre angefacht worden ist, als auch mit der faszinierenden Debatte, die zur Zeit innerhalb der Evolutionstheorie stattfindet. »Das Einfließen von Fragen der Evolution in scheinbar nicht verwandte politische Diskussionen zeigt sowohl das weitläufige Ausmaß dieser Lebenseinstellung als auch den unlösbaren Zusammenhang wissenschaftlicher und sozialer Fragen. Die weiterführende und klarere Sicht, die aus der Evolutionstheorie hervorgeht, könnte unsere Auffassung von der Wissenschaft und von Erklärungsprozessen im allgemeinen vertiefen, indem sie die scheinbare Zufälligkeit der Geschichte und plötzliche Veränderungen (die erst im nachhinein sinnvoll werden) heraushebt gegenüber dem Bild einer vorhersehbaren und regelmäßigen Welt, wie es vom Stereotyp einer sogenannt ›harten‹ Wissenschaft gepredigt wird. Mit diesem Thema beschäftige ich mich in der ganzen Sammlung.« »Nur wenige Autoren sind wie Gould fähig, wissenschaftliche Arbeit mit solcher Klarheit von Denken und Schreiben zu verbinden. [...] Die meisten Essays beginnen mit einer nichtwissenschaftlichen Anekdote, und nach wenigen Seiten sind wir mühelos mitten in der Analyse komplexer biologischer Fragen.« (The New York Times Book Review) Stephen Jay Gould, geb. 1941 in New York, ist Professor an der Harvard Universität und lehrt Geologie, Biologie und Wissenschaftsgeschichte. In der Reihe suhrkamp taschenbuch wissenschaft liegen von seinen Büchern bereits vor: Der falsch vermessene Mensch (stw 583) sowie Der Daumen des Panda (stw 789).

        Greta’s Voice

        by Ged Umlimi / Amelina Jones

        Very few people had the courage and the chance to change the course of events in history. Ghandi was one of them. Rosa Parks was another. But for the first time, a teenager stood up. Greta Thunberg started with small steps, sitting in front of the Swedish Parliament and later skipping schools on every Friday in order to demand action on climate crisis. In time, she inspired millions of young people and adults around the world to take to the streets to demand the same. Greta’s Voice is the real story of the 16-year-old climate activist, a story that will give hope to people of all ages and prove to children that they don’t need to wait becoming a grown up to make a difference. Greta’s is a story of persistence and inspiration, a wake up call for us all. We hope we will stop the climate crisis altogether

        Der Daumen des Panda

        Betrachtungen zur Naturgeschichte

        by Stephen Jay Gould, Klaus Laermann, Eva-Maria Schmitz

        Waren die Dinosaurier wirklich dümmer als Eidechsen? Warum werden eigentlich immer ungefähr gleich viele Männer wie Frauen geboren? Wie kam der berühmte Dr. Down zu seiner »Mongolismus«-Theorie und ihren rassistischen Implikationen? Inwiefern spiegelt die Entwicklung der Mickey Mouse unsere eigene Entwicklung wider? Was erzählen uns der magische »Daumen« des Pandas und die endlose Wanderung der Seeschildkröte über die Unvollkommenheiten, die die Evolution beweisen? Bei aller Vielfalt ihrer Themen stehen die brillanten Essays Stephen Jay Goulds doch in einem präzisen Zusammenhang: in ihrem Bezug zur Evolutionstheorie, die Gould in ihrer avanciertesten Version vertritt.
