Jürgen Wettke, Elements of Iceland
An essential illustrated coffee table book showcasing the unique natural beauty of a volcanic island
Stunning visual inspiration for fans of landscape photography, ecology, admirers of Iceland, and world travelers alike
In Halldór Laxness’ novel Under the Glacier, the protagonist travels from Reykjavík to the mythical volcano at the Snafellsjökull glacier,a place in whose shadow “words cease to have even the slightest meaning.” This could be a leitmotif for Jürgen Wettke’s Iceland images. Whereas language can hardly convey the majesty and beauty of a landscape, the photographs in Elements of Iceland speak volumes in their eloquence. Wettke’s photographic journey across the volcanic island is guided by nature’s elemental forces: he shows us the diverse forms of fire, water, air, light, and earth. Whether the structures of lava flows, sculptural ice formations, or nature’s artworks, aurora borealis, lighting up the sky—Jürgen Wettke’s photography brings us closer to these wonders of nature. We discover Iceland in an entirely new and breathtaking way!
JÜRGEN WETTKE was born in 1953 in Hagen, Germany. In addition to his successful career—including as a leader in one of the largest corporate consulting firms—he has been passionate about photography since he was a boy. He is focused more on perspective and the use of light than on technique. In recent years, his special focus has been landscape photography. His captivating photos aim to raise awareness of how fragile our planet’s ecosystems are. Also published by teNeues are The Art of the Wadden Sea and The Namib Desert, with traveling exhibitions in Düsseldorf, Hamburg, and Salzburg.

The Hound of the Baskervilles
I can't believe I have never read this book before. And even though by now I knew the plot from various adaptations, I really, really liked it. The atmosphere, the narration, characterization... it all was there and it clicked with me better than most of Sherlock Holmes stories. I enjoyed it a lot.

Set across Istanbul and Oxford, from the 1980s to the present day, Three Daughters of Eve is a sweeping tale of faith and friendship, tradition and modernity, love and an unexpected betrayal. Peri, a wealthy Turkish housewife and mother, is on her way to a dinner party at a seaside mansion in Istanbul when a beggar snatches her handbag.

A relic from a past - and a love Peri had tried desperately to forget. The photograph takes Peri back to Oxford University, as nineteen year old sent abroad for the first time. To her dazzling, rebellious Professor and his life-changing course on God. To the house she shares with her two best friends, Shirin and Mona, and their arguments about identity, Islam and feminism. And finally, to the scandal that tore them all apart. Shirin, Peri and Mona, they were the most unlikely of friends. They were the Sinner, the Believer and the Confused.

Of Women - In the 21st Century
This book starts from the position that gender injustice is the greatest human rights abuse on the planet. It blights First and developing worlds; rich and poor women. Gender injustice impacts health, wealth, education, representation, opportunity and security everywhere. It is no exaggeration to describe the position of women as an apartheid, but it is not limited to one country or historical period. For this ancient and continuing wrong is millennial in duration and global in reach. Only radical solutions can even scratch its surface. However, the prize is a great one: the collateral benefits to peace, prosperity, sustainability and general human happiness are potentially enormous. All this because we are all interconnected and all men are of women too.

Journeys to the Other Side of the World
Following the success of the original Zoo Quest expeditions, in the late 1950s onwards a young David Attenborough embarked on further expeditions in a very different part of the world. From Madagascar and New Guinea to the Pacific Islands and the Northern Territory of Australia, he and his team were not just searching for rare animals, but were aiming to record the way of life of some of the tribes of these regions, whose traditions and ways of life had never been seen by most of the British public before. From the land divers of Pentecost Island and the sing-sings of New Guinea, to a Royal Kava ceremony on Tonga and the ancient art of the Northern Territory - the place where, it has since been discovered, humanity has existed the longest - it is a journey like no other.
Along the way, he encounters paradise birds, lemurs, sifakas, and many more animals in areas that are home to some of the most unique wildlife on the planet. Written with David Attenborough's characteristic charm, humour and humanity, Journeys to the Other Side of the World is unique, and inimitable, adventure among people, places and the wildest of wildlife.

Europe Illusion: Britain, France, Germany and the Long History of European Integration
In The Europe Illusion, Stuart Sweeney considers Britain's relationships with France and Prussia-Germany since the map of Europe was redrawn at Westphalia in 1648. A timely and far-sighted study, it argues that integration in Europe has evolved through diplomatic, economic, and cultural links cemented among these three states. Indeed, as wars became more destructive and economic expectations were elevated these states struggled to survive alone.
Yet it has been rare for all three to be friends at the same time. Instead, apparent setbacks like Brexit can be seen as reflective of a more pragmatic Europe, where integration proceeds within variable geometry.

Mars by 1980 - The Story of Electronic Music
Electronic music is now ubiquitous, from mainstream pop hits to the furthest reaches of the avant-garde. The future, a long time coming, finally arrived. But how did we get here?
In Mars by 1980, David Stubbs charts the evolution of electronic music from the earliest mechanical experiments in the late nineteenth century to the pre-World War 1 inventions of the Futurist Luigi Russolo, author of the 'Art Of Noises' manifesto. He takes us through the musique concrete of radical composers such as Edgard Varese, Pierre Schaeffer, and Karlheinz Stockhausen, to the gradual absorption of electronic instrumentation into the mainstream: be it through the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and the work of pioneers like Delia Derbyshire, grandiose prog rock, or the more DIY approach of electronica, house, and techno.
It's a tale of mavericks and future dreamers overcoming Luddite resistance, malfunctioning devices, and sonic mayhem. Its beginnings are in the world of avant-classical composition, but the book also encompasses the cosmic funk of Stevie Wonder, Giorgio Moroder, and unforgettable 80s electronic pop from the likes of Depeche Mode, the Pet Shop Boys, and Laurie Anderson - right up to present day innovators on the underground scene. But above all, it's an essential story of authenticity: is this music? Is it legitimate? What drew its creators to make it? Where does it stand, in relation to rock and pop, classical and jazz music, to the modern society that generated it? And why does it resonate more strongly than ever in our own postmodern, seemingly post-futurist times? Mars by 1980 is the definitive account that answers these questions.

Poison of Love
"Az ember hajlamos mindent megtenni azért, hogy megvédje, akit szeret. Hadd meséljek el egy történetet arról, hogyan tettem tönkre imádott énekesem és egy komplett rockbanda karrierjét. Az univerzum rendjének felborításáról már nem is beszélve." Natalie Bat, azízig-vérig rocker kamaszlány bármit megtenne azért, hogy találkozhasson kedvenc rockbandája, a Poison of Love imádott énekesével, Adrian Arronnal. A bármit pedig igen tág fogalom, kiváltképp, ha az ember édesapja egy időgépen dolgozik egy kétes hátterű cégnél. Így történhet, hogy Nat egy osztályba kerül rajongása tárgyával, a leendő rocksztárral. Adrian azonban tinédzserként közel sem olyan, amilyennek egy szerelmes rajongó a hírhedt frontembert képzeli. 1999-ben még nyoma sincs letölthető mobilalkalmazásoknak, a slágerlistákat popbandák uralják, a képregényhősökért rajongók egytől egyig csodabogárnak számítanak. Valaki pedig mindvégig a fiatalokon tartja a szemét, mert pontosan tudja, mihez vezethetnek a meggondolatlan, tizenéves Natalietettei...
