        The Dead Husband Cookbook

        Ein kulinarischer Krimi

        by Danielle Valentine, Thomas Wörtche, Jürgen Bürger, Kathrin Bielfeldt

        Maria Capello ist eine berühmte Köchin, eine Ikone der Foodie-Szene mit Dutzenden von Kochbüchern und einer wöchentlichen Fernsehshow, ganz zu schweigen von ihren bestens verkäuflichen Fertigproduktion. Weltberühmt sind ihre Fleischbällchen, deren Rezeptur streng geheim ist. Einst nur die schüchterne Ehefrau des berühmten Kochs Damien Capello, trat sie nach dessen mysteriösem Verschwinden ins Rampenlicht, ein Ereignis, über das sie nie öffentlich gesprochen hat ... bis jetzt. Warum ist die Starköchin jetzt bereit, ihr Schweigen zu brechen? Als die Lektorin Thea Woods in Marias abgelegenes Luxusanwesen eingeladen wird, um am Manuskript ihrer Memoiren zu arbeiten, wittert sie ihre Chance. Sie könnte diejenige sein, die endlich erfährt, ob die Gerüchte wahr sind. Hat Maria Damien wegen seiner Rezepte und der legendären »Geheimzutat« umgebracht? Oder ist die Wahrheit noch düsterer?

        The Woman Who Thought Her Husband Was a Doppelganger

        When the brain goes haywire: 36 rare and unusual psychiatric syndromes

        by Monika Niehaus

        The human brain is a wondrous thing, highly complex and highly functional. However, the control centre of our feelings, thoughts and actions can sometimes go out of sync. Some reasons for this are known, such as genetic factors, hormonal effects or trauma. In other cases, we are still in the dark. In an extreme case scenario, the brain may create bizarre delusions – masterful narrations that the people affected fi nd completely conclusive and reasonable. Monika Niehaus has compiled 36 such disorders ranging from love madness and the gourmand syndrome – where gourmet food becomes the purpose of life – to people who desire nothing more than to have their limbs amputated. She tells gripping tales of famous and not so famous cases. With sensitivity and a considerable dose of humour she takes us into the history of art and literature, and presents scientifi c explanations. This fascinating book shows that our brain is a genius – and madness is quite often NOT inexplicable.

        How Philosophers Fail Themselves

        The somewhat different historyof philosophy

        by Otto A. Böhmer

        — Philosophy for beginners — For philosophy enthusiasts — A pleasant read This truly brilliant book tells of the sometimes sublime, sometimes exhilarating efforts of philosophers to maintain their attitude in everyday life without forgetting the meaning of their own words – and how they ultimately failed to do so. The minor, sometimes bizarre events in the lives of the great philosophers fit so aptly in the picture of the respective philosophy that one has to assume they could have been conceived to keep the associated intellectual giant in a strange and memorable mood. A book of cheerful science, full of wit, narrative and linguistic eloquence.
