Last Chance to See
After years of reflecting on the absurdities of life on other planets, Douglas Adams teamed up with zoologist Mark Carwardine to find out what was happening to life on this one. Together they lead us on an unforgettable journey across the world in search of exotic, endangered creatures - animals that they may never get another chance to see. They encounter the animal kingdom in its stunning beauty, astonishing variety, and imminent peril: the giant Komodo dragon of Indonesia, the helpless but lovable Kakapo of New Zealand, the blind river dolphins of China, the white rhinos of Zaire, the rare birds of Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean. Both funny and poignant, Last Chance to See is the tale of an unforgettable wildlife odyssey - and a timely reminder of all that we must protect.
Am Ufer des Rio Piedra sass ich und weinte
Sie waren Jugendfreunde, ehe sie sich aus den Augen verloren. In Madrid treffen sie sich wieder: sie, eine angehende Richterin, die das Leben gelehrt hat, stark und vernünftig zu sein; er, Weltenbummler und sehr undogmatischer Seminarist, der vor seiner Ordination Pilar noch einmal wiedersehen will. Beide verbindet ihr Drang, aus ihrem sicheren Leben auszubrechen und ihre Träume zu wagen.In Am Ufer des Rio Piedra saß ich und weinte gibt es eine Ich-Erzählerin, und zum Thema steht, Gott ein zweites Gesicht zu geben, nämlich ein weibliches. Die tröstende Lebenshilfe, die Coelho offeriert, ergibt sich aus dem Glauben, daß es für jeden einen eigenen Weg gibt und daß es möglich ist, diesen eigenen Weg zu verwirklichen. Die Wärme und der Optimismus, die die Lektüre vermittelt, sind Ausgangspunkt und Ziel zugleich." (Tages-Anzeiger) "Die Geschichte eine spirituelle Reise mit ungewisser Zukunft und der Traum von einer großen Liebe: zwei Menschen begegnen sich nach vielen Jahren wieder und lernen sich von einer völlig neuen Seite kennen - die Richterin, die bislang nur dem Verstand vertraute, und der Mann, der die Gabe hat, zu sehen, was andere Menschen noch nicht einmal ahnen. Sie begleitet ihn ein Stück seines merkwürdigen Weges, auf dem Mystik und Spiritualität die beiden in ungeahnte Erlebnisse führen - mitten in Spanien. Paulo Coelho erzählt ein versponnenes Märchen, in dem Gefühle schließlich die Oberhand gewinnen - und Träume. An die zu glauben lohnt sich eben immer."(Radio Bremen) "Eine explosive Liebesgeschichte und Führer durch die Mystik in einem."(News) Paulo Coelho, geboren 1947 in Rio de Janeiro, begann nach ausgedehnten Reisen zu schreiben. Mit seinem Weltbestseller "Der Alchimist" wurde er zu einem der meistgelesenen lateinamerikanischen Autoren."

See What You're Missing
Artists have learnt to pay attention. The rest of us spend most of our time on autopilot, rushing from place to place, our overfamiliarity blinding us to the marvellous, life-affirming phenomena of our world. But it doesn't have to be this way.
In his typically engaging style, Will Gompertz takes us into the minds of artists - from emerging stars to old masters - to show us how to look at and experience the world with their heightened powers of perception.
In See What You're Missing we learn, for example, how Rembrandt can help us see ourselves, how David Hockney helps us to see nature, and how Frida Kahlo can help us see through pain. Each artist has their own unique way of looking, which when applied to our own lives stimulates our senses so we might know the intoxicating feeling of being truly alive.
Neviditelné bary
Lucien Zell se narodil v předvečer Dušiček (1. listopadu) ve městě andělů (Los Angeles, Kalifornie). Už dvacet let však žije v Evropě. Ačkoli není vzděláním spisovatel, pilně navštěvoval univerzitu, na které jsou spisovatelé vždycky vítáni. Vzdělával se na cestách, učila ho noc a krutá lhostejnost, která vládne vesmíru. Na Zellově univerzitě se vyučuje osamění a odmítnutí a Zell v současnosti pracuje na doktorském titulu. Lucien Zell je zaníceným krásistou (v protikladu k teroristovi). Své umělecké bomby sází prostřednictvím širokého spektra médií. Alan Levy, americký spisovatel a kritik, ho oslavuje jako trubadúra 21. století. Vydal čtyři sbírky poezie. Jeho haiku získaly první cenu internetového časopisu World Haiku Review. Hrál v bollywoodském filmu Prague, Zellova kapela Wavemen vydala v roce 2010 CD Fall into Flight. Jako textař spolupracoval s řadou umělců různých žánrů a jeho písně vydala renomovaná hudební vydavatelství. Neviditelné bary jsou jeho prvním románem. Jeho děj tvoří zdánlivě nesouvisející příběhy z „neviditelných“ barů po celém světě, které jejich protagonisté vyprávějí majiteli jednoho takového baru.

I Am Homeless If This Is Not My Home
Finn is in the grip of middle-age and on an enforced break from work: it might be that he's too emotional to teach history now. He is living in an America hurtling headlong into hysteria, after all. High up in a New York City hospice, he sits with his beloved brother Max, who is slipping from one world into the next.
But when a phone call summons Finn back to a troubled old flame, a strange journey begins, opening a trapdoor in reality. It will prompt a questioning of life and death, grief and the past, comedy and tragedy, and the diaphanous separations that lie between them all.

Didn't See That Coming
A hilariously fresh and romantic send-up to You’ve Got Mail about a gamer girl with a secret identity and the online bestie she’s never met IRL – until she unwittingly transfers to his school...
Seventeen-year-old Kiki Siregar is a fabulous gamer girl with confidence to boot. She can’t help but be totally herself… except when she’s online.
Her secret? She plays anonymously as a guy to avoid harassment from other male players. Even her online best friend—a cinnamon roll of a teen boy who plays under the username Sourdawg—doesn’t know her true identity. Which is fine, because Kiki doesn’t know his real name either, and it’s not like they’re ever going to cross paths IRL.
Until she transfers to an elite private school for her senior year and discovers that Sourdawg goes there, too.
But who is he? How will he react when he finds out Kiki’s secret? And what happens when Kiki realizes she’s falling for her online BFF?

I Am Autistic : An interactive and informative guide to autism (by someone diagnosed with it)
When Chanelle Moriah was diagnosed with autism at 21, life finally began to make sense. Hungry for information, Chanelle looked for a simple resource that could explain what autism is and how it can impact the different areas of an autistic person's life, but found that there was little written from the perspective of someone who is autistic.
So Chanelle decided to create that missing resource.Chanelle discovered just how difficult it can be for autistic adults - particularly females or those assigned female at birth - to be diagnosed or even be assessed for autism. This is partly because there is very little understanding of the different ways autism can present itself.I Am Autistic is a tool for both diagnosed and undiagnosed autistics to explain or make sense of their experiences. It also offers non-autistic people the chance to learn more about autism from someone who is autistic.
With clear sections describing the different aspects of autism, accompanied by Chanelle's beautiful illustrations, and with space for readers to write down their thoughts, this book is designed to be personalised to the individual's experience.I Am Autistic helps people feel less alone in their autism and brings knowledge to an often-misunderstood condition.
I Am Change
They told her that her body belonged to men and her mind didn't matter. They were wrong.
"What if I don't want to marry?" Lillian held her breath. She had never said the words out loud.
"Not want to marry?" Her aunt frowned. "What else would you do?"
Set in a Ugandan village, Lilian has learned to shrink herself to fit other people's ideas of what a girl is. In her village a girl is not meant to be smarter than her brother. A girl is not meant to go to school or enjoy her body or decide who to marry. Especially if she is poor.
Inspired by and written in consultation with young Ugandan women, and addressing the difficult subject of FGM, I Am Change is the tragic but empowering story of how a young girl finds her voice and the strength to fight for change.

I Am A Girl From Africa
A powerful memoir about a girl from Africa whose near-death experience sparked a dream that changed the world.
She squeezes my hand and smiles. "I am here to feed hungry children in the village, because as Africans we must uplift each other."
I don't understand what it means to uplift others, but I nod.
I know that I can finally stand up. I will search for food. I will live.
When severe draught hit her village in Zimbabwe, Elizabeth, then eight, had no idea that this moment of utter devastation would come to define her life purpose. Unable to move from hunger, she encountered a United Nations aid worker who gave her a bowl of warm porridge and saved her life. This transformative moment inspired Elizabeth to become a humanitarian, and she vowed to dedicate her life to giving back to her community, her continent and the world.
Grounded by the African concept of Ubuntu - 'I am because we are' - I Am a Girl from Africa charts Elizabeth's quest in pursuit of her dream from the small village of Goromonzi to Harare, London and beyond, where she eventually became a Senior Advisor at the United Nations and launched HeForShe, one of the world's largest global solidarity movements for gender equality. For over two decades, Elizabeth has been instrumental in creating change in communities all around the world; uplifting the lives of others, just as her life was once uplifted. The memoir brings to vivid life one extraordinary woman's story of persevering through incredible odds and finding her true calling - while delivering an important message of hope and empowerment in a time when we need it most.

See Saw
See/Saw is an illuminating history of how photographs frame and change our perspectives. Starting from single images by the world's most important photographers - from Eugene Atget to Alex Webb - Geoff Dyer shows us how to read a photograph, as he takes us through a series of close readings that are by turns moving, funny, prescient and surprising.
Following Dyer's previous books on photography, The Ongoing Moment and The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand, See/Saw brilliantly combines visual scrutiny and stylistic flair. It shows us how a photograph can simultaneously record and invent the world, and reveals a master seer at work.
In the spirit of the intellectual curiosity of Berger, Sontag and Didion, Geoff Dyer helps us to see the world around us, and within us, afresh.

I Am Hermes
At birth, Hermes, son of Zeus and the Nymph Maia, says his first word: Gimme! In this brilliant, hilarious graphic novel about the mischievous, fun-loving messenger of the gods, Caldecott Medal winner Mordicai Gerstein, transports classical mythology to the 21st century.
The world! the newly born Hermes says. It's even better than I expected! I love it! I want it all! This book is filled with joy, exuberance, and humor. On his first day of life, Hermes manages to trick a turtle into surrendering its shell and a ram into surrendering its horns, thereby inventing the lyre, music, and song! He also manages to steal his brother Apollo's precious cows, but later redeems himself by outwitting the giant brothers Otus and Ephialtes, who have kidnapped Mars. These adventures and more, all derived from classical mythology, are told with great humor as well as a twenty-first century sensibility by the colossally talented Mordicai Gerstein. The art in this graphic novel is truly spectacular, with 250 illustrations, executed by a master artist and filled with unique humor. A Bank Street Best Book of the Year

Georgia O'Keeffe: To See Takes Time
A revelatory new volume on the American modernist's lesser-known works on paper, reuniting many serial works for the first time
Recalling a charcoal she made in 1916, Georgia O'Keeffe later wrote, "I have made this drawing several times--never remembering that I had made it before--and not knowing where the idea came from." These drawings, and the majority of O'Keeffe's works in charcoal, watercolor, pastel and graphite, belong to series in which she develops and transforms motifs that lie between observation and abstraction. In the formative years of 1915 to 1918, she made as many works on paper as she would in the next 40 years, producing sequences in watercolor of abstract lines, organic landscapes and nudes, along with charcoal drawings she would group according to the designation "specials." While her practice turned increasingly toward canvas in subsequent decades, important series on paper reappeared--including charcoal flowers of the 1930s, portraits of the 1940s and aerial views of the 1950s.
Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, this richly illustrated volume highlights the drawings of an artist better known as a painter, and reunites individual sheets with their contextual series to illuminate O'Keeffe's persistently sequential practice.
Born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) first received critical attention when her breakthrough charcoal drawings were exhibited in New York in 1916. Two years later, she moved to the city to work full time on her art. Beginning in 1929, O'Keeffe spent summers in New Mexico, where she would relocate in 1949. The most famous female artist of her age, she thought of herself not as "the best woman painter" but as "one of the best painters."

I Paint What I Want to See
How does a painter see the world? Philip Guston, one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, spoke about art with unparalleled candour and commitment. Touching on work from across his career as well as that of his fellow artists and Renaissance heroes, this selection of his writings, talks and interviews draws together some of his most incisive reflections on iconography and abstraction, metaphysics and mysticism, and, above all, the nature of painting and drawing.
