The Invention of Nature
Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) is the great lost scientist - more things are named after him than anyone else. There are towns, rivers, mountain ranges, the ocean current that runs along the South American coast, there's a penguin, a giant squid - even the Mare Humboldtianum on the moon.
His colourful adventures read like something out of a Boy's Own story: Humboldt explored deep into the rainforest, climbed the world's highest volcanoes and inspired princes and presidents, scientists and poets alike. Napoleon was jealous of him; Simon Bolivar's revolution was fuelled by his ideas; Darwin set sail on the Beagle because of Humboldt; and Jules Verne's Captain Nemo owned all his many books. He simply was, as one contemporary put it, 'the greatest man since the Deluge'.
Taking us on a fantastic voyage in his footsteps - racing across anthrax-infected Russia or mapping tropical rivers alive with crocodiles - Andrea Wulf shows why his life and ideas remain so important today. Humboldt predicted human-induced climate change as early as 1800, and The Invention of Nature traces his ideas as they go on to revolutionize and shape science, conservation, nature writing, politics, art and the theory of evolution. He wanted to know and understand everything and his way of thinking was so far ahead of his time that it's only coming into its own now. Alexander von Humboldt really did invent the way we see nature.
The Essential Cookbook for Beginners
The Essential Cookbook for Beginners: The best cookbooks for beginners should not only have great recipes, but they must also provide primary education on food and cooking. That first cookbook for a new home chef can be the difference between enjoying great homemade family meals versus giving up and resorting back to take-out and fast-food. A bound cookbook will need to be printed. You can take your cookbook to a print shop or print it yourself from your printer. Color printing looks more beautiful than black-and-white printing and comb, or spiral binding is more attractive than stapling or velobinding. It's also better to use a comb or spiral binding because it will allow your book to lay flat on a counter or table while you follow the recipe. A diet cookbook is something that everyone should own. This type of cookbook has many low carbs and low-fat meals that are rather simple to make. Cooking a meal at home will bring the entire family together, and it is a great way to talk about your day together. Everyone should try to eat at home at least two times a week because it is a good bonding experience. If you are on a diet, cooking at home is the best option because you know what goes into your food. Finding a good cookbook is simple as long as you know what you are looking for. There are hundreds if not thousands of diet cookbooks for you to choose from, all you have to know is what you want to eat. When people think dieting, they think they are only allowed to eat certain types of foods. This is not true at all, if you cook at home you can eat virtually anything.

The Blue Fairy Book
Andrew Lang's Fairy Books or Andrew Lang's "Coloured" Fairy Books constitute a twelve-book series of fairy tale collections. Although Andrew Lang did not collect the stories himself from the oral tradition, the extent of his sources, who had collected them originally (with the notable exception of Madame d'Aulnoy), made them an immensely influential collection, especially as he used foreign-language sources, giving many of these tales their first appearance in English. As acknowledged in the prefaces, although Lang himself made most of the selections, his wife and other translators did a large portion of the translating and telling of the actual stories.The Blue Fairy Book assembled a wide range of tales, with seven from the Brothers Grimm, five from Madame d'Aulnoy, three from the Arabian Nights, and four Norse stories, among other sources.(wikipedia)

Ambassador 8: The Alabaster Army
Deadly creatures, hostile climate, and that is just the scenery.
For many years, mysterious things have happened on the ice world of Tamer, but when a scientist goes missing from Barresh thought to be on Tamer, Cory is forced to take the issue by the horns.
Problem is, he is dealing with unexpected side effects of his fertility treatment, and, like his Coldi companions, he's lost much of his night vision, and has trouble tolerating low temperatures.
Trouble is, a recent addition to his team has sent shockwaves through his group of loyal companions and things are still sorting themselves out.
Not his healthy self, under-resourced, frozen and half-blind, that's not the best preparation to visit a world where humans are not at the top of the food chain, let alone dealing with enemies who will go to any lengths to hide their activities.

Under the Magnolias - Magnóliák alatt
Az éjszaka, ami nemcsak a szárazság végét jelentette, hanem a régóta őrzött titokét is, melyet a magnóliák alatt rejtegettünk.
Magnólia, Dél-Karolina, 1980.
Austin Foster alig tinédzser, amikor édesanyja ikreknek adva életet, belehal a szülésbe. Ezzel neki kell összeszednie a darabkákat, miközben hat testvérét összetartja, és mindent megtesz, hogy apja ne süppedjen a saját sötétségébe.
A család dohányfarmján összekaparni a betevőt nem éppen zökkenőmentes.
Amikor néhány kedves cselekedet segít enyhíteni Fosterék küzdelmét, Austin azon kapja magát, hogy Magnólia legszínesebb polgáraira támaszkodik, mind barátságban, mind másban. De az igazságot eltitkolni a Nólia birtokon zajló eseményekről közel lehetetlen, és Austin kétségbeesett próbálkozása, hogy fenntartsa a látszatot, csaknem megtöri a lelkét.
Épp, amikor úgy tűnik, többet tartogat számára az élet egy gazdag helyi család fiával, akibe évekkel ezelőtt belezúgott, apja olyan döntést hoz, amely kitárja titkaik ajtaját, és nyilvános számvetéshez vezet. Következményekkel jár, ha olyan fiút szeretsz, mint Vance Cumberland, ám az igazság felszabadító is lehet.
T. I. Lowe merész, mégis gyengéd és felemelő regénye emlékeztet, hogy egy történet lehet nagyszerű, még ha össze is töri a szíved... majd a lehető legjobb módon befoltozza.
Az év legmegindítóbb felnőtté válási története.
