August 2011Tage- und Nächtebücher aus Lappland
by Sigrid Damm, Joachim Hamster Damm
Die »Tage- und Nächtebücher aus Lappland«, das wohl persönlichste Buch Sigrid Damms, ist eine Hommage an Lappland und seine Bewohner, die Samen. Sigrid Damms literarischer Text geht hier eine Symbiose mit den von Joachim Hamster Damm geschaffenen Graphiken, Collagen und Fotos ein. Das Buch erzählt von einer sieben Tage langen Wanderung, die eine 60jährige Frau und ein 30jähriger Mann unternehmen. Die Bergwelt Lapplands wird von zwei Menschen gesehen und erlebt, die Tage und Nächte werden in der Begegnung mit einer archaischen Welt zum Experiment der Einsamkeit. Die Wanderer sind ganz auf sich gestellt. Die Weite und Ruhe der Landschaft offenbaren die ihr innewohnende Kraft, bringen die Frau und den Mann zum bewußten Wahrnehmen ursprünglicher Dinge. Gras, Fell, Feuer, Wasser, Haus, Berge, Horizontlinien, Geburt und Tod, Frieden und Krieg. Es ist eine Meditation über den gegenwärtigen Zustand der Welt, ein Buch der Langsamkeit, ein Buch der Stille.

Children's & YAAugust 2020Cryptos
by Poznanski, Ursula
Where do we go when Nowhere is the only destination left? Kerrybrook is Jana‘s favourite virtual escape. An idyllic fishing village with beautiful nature and, every now and then, a breeze of fresh air from the nearby sea. Jana, is this world‘s designer and person in power, she’s satisfied with her masterpiece. Best job so far. Until one day, a dead body is found, in both, ’Virtual Reality‘ and the real world. In times of climate change, VR is the only safe place for humankind. That‘s why Jana needs to solve the crime, she’s responsible for stopping the destruction. • CliFi Thriller (Climate Fiction): Climate change & virtual reality • For fans of Black Mirror (Netflix) • All age readers • Strong, female protagonist • Highly relevant topic WHITE RAVENS recommendation (2021): "In the not too distant future, the world is an inhospitable place: droughts, storms, floods. That’s why world designers construct »alternative realities«, such as landscapes populated by dinosaurs, life at court in the Middle Ages, and surfing and chilling out on a beach. People can switch between these worlds at will and, when they die there, they are not truly dead; instead, they merely return to the »real world« – same as at night when they sleep. Then they are reunited with their body, which is lying inside a capsule. In »Cryptos«, Ursula Poznanski pulls out all the stops of storytelling: She embeds numerous references to human and intellectual history in an action-packed and extremely suspenseful thriller plot. In the process, she raises central existential and ontological questions that result from the interplay between the real and the virtual worlds. This complex dystopian novel is narrated in such an enjoyable way that readers will hardly notice their brains going into overdrive as they devour it."

Children's & YAClimate Change. What We Can Do Now
by Ruth Omphalius/ Monika Azakli
“There is no Planet B!” More and more young people are worried about the future of Planet Earth. Climate change is heating not only the planet but also people’s emotions. But what exactly is climate? And why are the changes threatening the lives of both polar bears and us humans. In simple language but with solid science, the authors explain the most important aspects of climate, from the greenhouse effect to the Gulf Stream. Current developments are described as well, and the scientific background is supplemented by gripping reports. The book also offers a glimpse of the future: what will happen if we go on in the same way as now? How can climate change be halted? This makes for riveting reading – and not just for young activists.
