Paper Toys
This extraordinary construction kit contains eight different models to build yourself from a delightful car with driver to a pop-up monster or a plane with propeller. There are perforated construction sheets for each figure and additional material, including wooden sticks, rubber bands and beads, and an extensive manual with detailed step-by-step illustrations. Even non-experts will be able to build these Paper Toys. The colorful results will delight not only children. The models have been lovingly created and include ingenious mechanisms: when you push the car, the driver and his luggage sway amusingly from side to side, caused by clever positioning of the rear axle. The doll moves gracefully at the slightest breath of wind, and the clown's facial expression changes when you turn the wooden stick. Presented in a beautiful designed metal box, this is the perfect gift for all ages!

Science but Not as We Know it
Cutting-edge concepts made simple, it's not rocket science. The media reports on the latest scientific discoveries and breakthroughs can seem like a foreign language, from black holes, to dark matter and exoplanets to leap seconds. Finally get to grips with these difficult concepts by reading Ben Gilliland's unique take on them. Science But Not As We Know It takes complex scientific ideas and breaks them down for the non-scientist, from explaining the size of the Universe, to how black holes work, Schroedinger's cat and the Higgs boson. Difficult ideas and theories are compared to everyday things we are familiar with - forces become armies and electrons have personalities. This book will have you saying 'I get it now!' over and over again. You no longer have to be a rocket scientist to understand rocket science.

A kívülálló
Mr. Mercedes - Aki kapja, marja - Agykontroll trilógia után Stephen King - vagy ahogy rajongói világszerte emlegetik: a Mester - ismét egy hátborzongató thrillerrel hozza rá olvasóira az álmatlanságot.
Az oklahomai kisváros, Flint City egyik parkjában brutálisan megerőszakolt, meggyilkolt és megcsonkított holttestre bukkannak. Az áldozat Frank Peterson, egy fehér fiúgyermek, életkora 11 év. A felfoghatatlan tett elkövetője pedig szemtanúk állítása és több, cáfolhatatlan bizonyíték szerint Terry Maitland gimnáziumi irodalomtanár és baseballedző, azaz T. edző, egy mindenki által ismert, köztiszteletben álló ember, két kislány édesapja.
Ralph Anderson nyomozó letartóztatja az edzőt, méghozzá a lehető legmegalázóbb módon: a Maitland csapata számára kulcsfontosságú meccs közben, a szurkolósereg szeme láttára. Anderson indulata érthető: az ő kamasz fia is T. edző keze alatt tanulta a sportot.
Az igazságszolgáltatás folyamatában azonban fennakadást okoz, hogy Maitlandnek kikezdhetetlen alibije van: szemtanúk, ujjlenyomatok, sőt DNS-minta igazolják, hogy a gyilkosság idején egy másik, távoli városban tartózkodott. Anderson nyomozónak segítőtársaival együtt választ kell találniuk a kérdésre: hogyan lehet ugyanaz az ember egyszerre két helyen?
A rejtély megoldása Kinghez méltóan egyszerre hihetetlen és kétségbevonhatatlan, bármennyire sokkolja is azokat, akik egy texasi barlang mélyén végül szembekerülnek vele.

Ten Women Who Changed Science, and the World
With a foreword by Athene Donald, Professor of Experimental Physics, University of Cambridge and Master of Churchill College.
Ten Women Who Changed Science tells the moving stories of the physicists, biologists, chemists, astronomers and doctors who helped to shape our world with their extraordinary breakthroughs and inventions, and outlines their remarkable achievements.
These scientists overcame significant obstacles, often simply because they were women their science and their lives were driven by personal tragedies and shaped by seismic world events. What drove these remarkable women to cure previously incurable diseases, disprove existing theories or discover new sources of energy? Some were rewarded with the Nobel Prize for their pioneering achievements - Madame Curie, twice - others were not and, even if they had, many are not household names.
Despite living during periods when the contribution of women was disregarded, if not ignored, these resilient women persevered with their research, whether creating life-saving drugs or expanding our knowledge of the cosmos. By daring to ask 'How?' and 'Why?' and persevering against the odds, each of these women, in a variety of ways, has made the world a better place.
Astronomy
Henrietta Leavitt (United States of America) (1868-1921) - discovered the period-luminosity relation(ship) for Cepheid variable stars, which enabled us to measure the size of our Galaxy and the Universe.
Physics
Lise Meitner (Austria) (1878-1968) - fled Nazi Germany in 1938, taking with her the experimental results which showed that she and Otto Hahn had split the nucleus and discovered nuclear fission.
Chien-Shiung Wu (United States of America) (1912-1997) - Chinese-American who disproved one of the most accepted 'laws of nature', that not all processes can be mirrored. She showed that the 'law of parity', the idea that a left-spinning and right-spinning sub-atomic particle would behave identically, was wrong.
Chemistry
Marie Curie (France) (1867-1934) - the only person in history to have won Nobel prizes in two different fields of science.
Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin (United Kingdom) (1910-1994) - British chemist who won the Nobel prize for Chemistry in 1964. Among the most prominent of a generation of great protein crystallographers. The field was revolutionized under her. She pioneered the X-ray study of large molecules of biochemical importance: the structures of cholesterol, penicillin, vitamin B12 and insulin, leading to DNA structure analysis by Franklin etc.
Medicine
Virginia Apgar (United States of America) (1909-1974) - of Apgar Score fame.
Gertrude Elion (United States of America) (1918-1999) - won the Nobel Prize for Physiology/Medicine in 1988 for developing some important principles for drug development.
Biology
Rita Levi-Montalicini (Italy) (1909-2012) - the so-called 'Lady of the Cells'. She won the Nobel Prize for Physiology/Medicine in 1986 for her co-discovery in 1954 of NGF (nerve growth factor).
Elsie Widdowson (United Kingdom) (1906-2000) - a pioneer of the science of nutrition who was instrumental in devising the WW2 diet, in part through self-experimentation.
Rachel Carson (United States of America) (1907-1964) - marine biologist and author of Silent Spring who is credited with having advanced the environmental movement.

Boy Who Could See Death
From Salley Vickers, bestselling author of Miss Garnet's Angel, comes The Boy Who Could See Death, an enchanting and unsettling collection of short stories. Eli is an ordinary boy with an extraordinary gift. It will shape the course of his whole life but, he learns the hard way, he must keep it hidden from those who know him best. Seeing death is a mixed blessing. Eli is not the only one defying the world's expectations of him. Cousin Francesca, a charming spinster and a favourite with the children, is harbouring kleptomaniac tendencies. Sarah Palliser, living alone next to a ramshackle graveyard, is more scared of the small box under her stairs than the ghosts outside her window. Meanwhile dreamy artist Nan is nursing a growing obsession with wolves in Britain and the recently widowed Frances finds herself inventing an exotic imaginary boyfriend to pass the time. Push through an unassuming front door on an unremarkable street or peer into the glowing fluorescent windows of an urban office block and within you'll find strange and unforgettable scenes, normal people caught in situations they do not quite comprehend...Salley Vickers is a master of the uncanny and the unexpected. In this collection of eleven remarkable stories, she explores bereavement and betrayal, closely guarded secrets and common gossip, long-overdue endings and decidedly strange beginnings. Each story is perfectly formed: a snapshot of a total stranger, a fleeting glimpse of lives spiced with a little something extra.

Frida Kahlo Painter and her Work
"I was considered a Surrealist. That is not right. I never painted dreams. What I depicted, was my reality." Our book zooms right into this reality, and it does so in a new and unusual way: presenting Frida Kahlo's paintings in a general view and in selected details, it reveals the wealth of stories and creatures hidden in her self-portraits; it makes tangible the life-long physical and spiritual pain endured by the artist; and it illustrates painterly skills and techniques reminiscent of old European masters. Making visible what tends to escape one's notice in her seemingly familiar paintings, this lavish volume takes even inveterate Kahlo fans on a mesmerizing discovery trip to the sensuousness, the beauty, and the abysses of her world. This monograph presents Frida Kahlo's life and work in pictures. Frida Kahlo expert Helga Prignitz-Poda provides elaborate background information on each of the paintings.

Wolfgang Tillmans
Accept no substitutes: Wolfgang Tillmans could well be the coolest photographer on the planet. Always imitated, never bettered, he's the lens-meister of the zeitgeist, the photo-journo who went artside, a man in constant demand, moving effortlessly from magazine to fashion shoot to gallery retrospective. He creates identities, he's the brand name of hip. From Ray Gun to i-D, his images feel iconic before they're out of the fluid. I'll be your mirror, he whispers, and the Gen X-kids find themselves reflected in his always open pictures.
From the portraits that made him famous, through the still lives and landscapes (undermining the genres with every shot), Tillmans's work is high color, dirty realist heaven. Finding the still point in the information overload, the sexuality in the machine, and the image in the image saturation, Tillmans gives us the brief epiphanies we might just remember as our own.

These are the things that spark the imagination, that make you want to change things in your own home. And they reveal an awful lot about the character, dreams, and souls of these lucky few. The authors and photographers from Welt am Sonntag visited these top creative minds, artists and style icons in their homes.

Here you'll find our rather intimate encounters that offer glimpses into unmapped territories. Private, curious, and-fortunately-a little eccentric. We would like to thank these people for inviting us into their homes. At the same time, we would like to encourage our readers to take this book as a halfway-serious encouragement for shaping your own lives.

How to read novels like a professor
Of all the literary forms, the novel is arguably the most discussed . . . and fretted over. From Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote to the works of Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and today's masters, the novel has grown with and adapted to changing societies and technologies, mixing tradition and innovation in every age throughout history.
Thomas C. Foster--the sage and scholar who ingeniously led readers through the fascinating symbolic codes of great literature in his first book, How to Read Literature Like a Professor--now examines the grammar of the popular novel. Exploring how authors' choices about structure--point of view, narrative voice, first page, chapter construction, character emblems, and narrative (dis)continuity--create meaning and a special literary language, How to Read Novels Like a Professor shares the keys to this language with readers who want to get more insight, more understanding, and more pleasure from their reading.
