    • V hlave Benjamína Chrumku neustále víria myšlienky a otázky: Prečo sa červené pandy nevolajú radšej oranžové pandy? Dokáže korytnačka predbehnúť zajaca? Sú svätojánske mušky horúce, keď svetielkujú? Benjamín so svojou nezastaviteľnou a bystrou mysľou sa však stretáva s nepochopením a jeho výnimočný spôsob vnímania sveta mu v každodennom živote spôsobuje problémy. Až keď si uvedomí, že odlišnosť je v skutočnosti jeho najväčšou výhodou, nájde si Benjamín svoje miesto pod slnkom. Inšpiratívny príbeh o tom, ako uchopiť inakosť a odhaliť svoj potenciál. Preklad: Mária Lachkovičová

    • Anatole feiert Hochzeit; auch alte Freunde und Ex-Lover sind eingeladen, darunter Chris, der ihm vor 25 Jahren das Herz gebrochen und dann die Stadt verlassen hat. Aus dem verträumten Chris ist ein tougher Sicherheitsprofi geworden, der in Nigeria amerikanische Ingenieure beschützt. Chris belächelt die brave Sesshaftigkeit der Menschen im Provinzstädtchen Poughkeepsie und kann kaum glauben, dass die Freunde von einst das wirklich ernst meinen. Durch die Konfrontation mit seinem Ex-Lover keimen bei Anatole Zweifel, ob er seinem Leben vielleicht eine falsche Richtung gegeben hat. Mit einem Zeitsprung von 25 Jahren kehrt Russell zu den Figuren seines Romans «Brackwasser» zurück und scheucht sie durch die Wechselbäder «Möglichkeit“ und «Wirklichkeit», auf der Suche nach einer Antwort auf die Frage, ob in der Mitte des Lebens so etwas wie Zufriedenheit zu erreichen ist.

      Have you ever wondered where waves come from? What makes every one different, why some peel nicely and others just close out? Why, some days, waves come in sets of six and others in sets of three, and what factors affect the behavior of a surfing break? If you have, this book is for you. Now in its second edition, Surf Science is the first book to talk in depth about the science of waves from a surfer's point of view. It fills the gap between surfing books and waves textbooks and will help you learn how to predict surf. You don't need a scientific background to read it--just curiosity and a fascination for waves.

      From the award-winning author of The Coming Storm comes the brilliantly conceived and precisely rendered novel The Salt Point, which explores the lives of four people-Anatole, Leigh, Chris, and Lydia-and their intermingled and unwinding desires. Set in a Poughkeepsie mall, the Main Street to a new generation, the novel follows these characters as they achieve their oddly triumphant lives redolent with loss and hope, humor and sadness, union and alienation. As promises are diminished and futures are abandoned, all four are hurtled toward that place in which everything is transmuted-the salt point.
