Is the Brain Rational?
The Findings of a Neuropsychologist
by L. Jäncke
This book takes the reader on a fascinating journey, demonstrating in an understandable and entertaining way how the brain affects our thoughts, actions, and feelings - and that this sometimes only peripherally involves reason. It shows, that the subconscious actually exists and how it affects us, how we arrive at both right and wrong decisions, how our memory works, how fragile it can be, and yet also how robust. Using insightful experiments and the latest research results, including many examples, this book presents the reader what an incredibly impressive thinking organ the brain actually is – even if it is not a purely “rational machine”. Target Group: For people interested in the results of research into the workings of the brain in the areas of decision-making, memory, and consciousness.

Roman | Kommunikation, Krieg, Kokain, Krypta | Ein Buch wie ein schillernder Traum
by Tom McCarthy, Bernhard Robben
Serge Karrefax erblickt im ländlichen England kurz vor der Jahrhundertwende das Licht der Welt – und mit seinem Schicksal verwoben gleichsam das Zeitalter der Technologie und Kommunikation. Als Funker im Ersten Weltkrieg fliegt er über Frankreich, hofft im Londoner Untergrund der Swinging Twenties mithilfe technologischen Fortschritts die Toten anzufunken, und hilft schließlich im gerade unabhängig gewordenen Ägypten ein Funknetz zu errichten – bis sein Leben in einer altägyptischen Grabkammer eine unerwartete Wendung nimmt. Kommunikation, Krieg, Kokain, Krypta: K untersucht gnadenlos, unser Verlangen uns mitzuteilen, während Serge K. die Botschaft hinter allen Botschaften, das Signal hinter allen Signalen sucht. Dieses singulär originelle Buch selbst aber widersteht allen Versuchen, seinen Code zu knacken.

Sessenta redacções de crianças Napolitanas
by Marcello D’Orta
This debut book by elementary school teacher Marcello D'Orta presents an amusing collection of sixty essays by students from Arzano elementary school. It was considered by critics a bestseller of biblical power, where rebellion, ignorance and bad education become expression, even revolution of the language. It renews faith in the existence of Napolitano humor as an autonomous literary genre. An encounter between the unknown and childlike thought that is both grandly serious and comical.

August 2014Geschichten vom Herrn Keuner
by Ulf K., Bertolt Brecht, Ulf K., Bertolt Brecht
»›Woran arbeiten Sie?‹ wurde Herr K. gefragt. Herr K. antwortete: ›Ich habe viel Mühe, ich bereite meinen nächsten Irrtum vor.‹« Diese Situation ist typisch für die Geschichten vom Herrn Keuner: eine einfache, alltägliche Ausgangsfrage und die überraschende, unerwartete Antwort. Die dialogisch-dialektische Struktur dieser parabelhaften Prosaminiaturen und ihr subtiler Humor eignen sich eigentlich hervorragend für die Umsetzung als Comic. Dennoch kann es nicht verwundern, dass sich bislang noch niemand an sie herangetraut hat, denn: Wie lassen sich Denkbilder in gezeichnete Bilder umsetzen? Und wie lässt sich Bertolt Brechts Kunst- und Spielfigur Keuner, die durchaus autobiografische Züge trägt und dennoch als ein Mann ohne Eigenschaften gilt, überhaupt darstellen? Ulf K., einer der international renommiertesten deutschen ComicKünstler, hat es nun gewagt und überrascht mit einem Herrn K., der absolut zeitlos-modern ist und dennoch unser Zeitgenosse sein könnte. Diese schwungvoll-frische Adaption erweckt den Eindruck, Brecht habe die Geschichten soeben erst für unsere unmittelbare Gegenwart geschrieben und uns gemeinsam mit Ulf K. ein ebenso intellektuelles wie ästhetisches Vergnügen beschert.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2017Scottishness and Irishness in New Zealand since 1840
by Angela McCarthy, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie
This book examines the distinctive aspects that insiders and outsiders perceived as characteristic of Irish and Scottish ethnic identities in New Zealand. When, how, and why did Irish and Scots identify themselves and others in ethnic terms? What characteristics did the Irish and the Scots attribute to themselves and what traits did others assign to them? Did these traits change over time and if so how? Contemporary interest surrounding issues of ethnic identities is vibrant. In countries such as New Zealand, descendants of European settlers are seeking their ethnic origins, spurred on in part by factors such as an ongoing interest in indigenous genealogies, the burgeoning appeal of family history societies, and the booming financial benefits of marketing ethnicities abroad. This fascinating book will appeal to scholars and students of the history of empire and the construction of identity in settler communities, as well as those interested in the history of New Zealand.

An old vitamin in a new light. Patient guide
by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters
For many people, vitamin K is known only as the vitamin for blood clotting, but this is way off the mark! Science has discovered a lot of new information and nowadays it is known that in addition to its role in regulating blood clotting and the flow properties of the blood, vitamin K also promotes the health of bones and blood vessels, thus protecting against osteoporosis and arteriosclerosis. In addition, it supports a healthy glucose metabolism in diabetics and plays a role in the prevention and treatment of cancer. These are too many positive properties to leave them untapped. This patient guide informs the reader all about vitamin K

Humanities & Social Sciences8 BILLION REASONS POPULATION MATTERS
The Defining Issue of the 21st Century
by Valorie M. Allen
The world is about to hit a population level of EIGHT BILLION people on one small planet. Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth. Our planet's greatest threat is of too many people depleting the Earth's resources and contributing to climate change. Allen offers a thorough analysis of our environmental, social, political, and economic crises; then offers a treasure trove of solutions and success stories that we can all take to heart.
