        WUESTEN - Lebensraum der Extreme

        by Markus Eisl, Gerald Mansberger

        The satellite image book WÜSTEN – Lebensraum der Extreme from the series Human Footprint covers a theme that does not seem to be related to the Human Footprint. Nevertheless, during millennia of history humans have developed a wealth of different relations to deserts, despite natural limitations from the lack of water and from extreme temperatures. Deserts are places without liquid water and by that extremely hostile to life. Yet this hostile character has contributed to the fascination exerted by these harsh landscapes over people. The presentation of deserts in this book starts with examples of natural landscapes from the Sahara to the polar desert of Antarctica. Structures such as wadis, yardangs, and sand dunes reflect the forces of water and wind, by which they were formed. The next section highlights margins of deserts and oases, which up to now are of vital importance also for man.

        The Polidoris

        And the Pact with the Darkness

        by Anja Fislage, Verena Wugeditsch

        Ever since their parents went missing on a deep-sea expedition in the southern Atlantic, Petronella Polidori and her siblings have been living with their eccentric grandparents in the “Polidorium”, a dilapidated villa by the sea. They quickly realise that a lot of mysteries are hidden between the “wandering walls” – and the funeral parlour in the cellar is just one of them. Who are Mousegret, the Dead Aunt, Clammy Fingers... and what is the power held by Hodder Morkel, the dead whaler who once owned the Polidorium? When her horrible classmate Marie-Hedwig claims to know her family secret, Petronella decides to overcome her fear and get to the bottom of it all… Anja Fislage’s debut novel, which received a prize even before publication, is a cabinet of entrancing characters, original (and creepy) secrets, and breath-taking twists, brilliantly brought to life in young illustrator Verena Wugeditsch’s illustrations. A little masterpiece!
