        The Little Lady in the Blue Mountains (5)

        by Stefanie Taschinski/Nina Dullek

        The Blue Mountains are calling! When Lilly’s grandma’s favourite cow falls ill, the Bear family immediately decide to pay them a visit – but without the Little Lady. Mother and Father Bear are worried that her chameleon-like behaviour might upset Grandma Annie. But Lilly, Charley and the Little Lady won’t accept such thinking. With a zip and a zoom the Little Lady opens her umbrella and up and away they go on the greatest mountain “salafari” of all time! But then something weird happens to the Little Lady: first her feet start to tickle, then her fine hiking boots start to pinch, and her jacket seems to be shrinking! She sees with horror that she is starting to grow. What can Lilly, Charley and she do to stop it?

        Fish in Distress

        On the careful management of an endangered resource

        by Manfred Kriener, Stefan Linzmaier

        Consumers stand perplexed at the fish counter. Cod or salmon; mackerel or sea bass? Or perhaps rather carp and trout? How about flounder and dab? Dab what? A terrific flatfish, but sadly hardly anyone has heard of it. And what was it again about organic, aquaculture, wild-caught, and that little blue sustainability certificate? Is catching your own a way out? Before you start thinking it’s time to opt for a chop and fried potatoes instead, read this book. It provides readers with deep blue facts from the world’s waters and analyses the global and local habitat of the finned creature.

        Hobo Blues

        Ein amerikanisches Nachtbild

        by William T. Vollmann, Thomas Melle

        William T. Vollmann, Träger des renommierten National Book Award und in den USA längst ein Star, erforscht »in seiner ausufernden, faszinierenden Prosa« die menschliche Existenz, schonungslos, erfahrungshungrig und mit »unübertroffenem Einfühlungsvermögen« (FAZ). In seiner neuen literarischen Reportage widmet er sich nun einem nationalen Mythos: dem Hobo – Held und Opfer des American Dream. Der auf Güterzügen reisende Tramp ist spätestens seit der Great Depression, als Tausende von Wanderarbeitern durch das Land zogen, Teil des amerikanischen Imaginären. Woody Guthrie und Bob Dylan haben ihn besungen, Mark Twain, Jack London und Ernest Hemingway setzten ihm in ihren Büchern Denkmäler. Vollmann, selbst ein Getriebener, kennt die unstillbare Sehnsucht nach dem freien Leben und macht sich auf den Weg, die Realität hinter dem geschichtlichen, politischen und literarischen Vermächtnis zu erkunden. Mit seinem Kumpel Steve erklimmt er Güterwaggons und reist kreuz und quer durch den amerikanischen Westen; er beschreibt die wilde Schönheit der Landschaft und den Nervenkitzel des illegalen Reisens, interviewt Hobos und gibt sich Rechenschaft über den Wunsch, seiner bürgerlichen Existenz zu entfliehen. Aus Vollmanns Impressionen und Reflexionen entsteht so ein transitorisches Nachtbild der heutigen USA – der Träume, Alpträume und Begierden einer Nation, deren wichtigstes Gut einmal die Freiheit ihrer Bürger war.

        Feeling blue

        Colour and the modern British hospital

        by Victoria Bates

        Feeling blue is the first book-length history of colour in modern hospitals. It examines colour in relation to six key themes - hygiene, emotion, humanisation, homeliness, play, consumerism - which are tied together by the idea of the 'modern' hospital. The book does not simply describe changes to the appearance of hospitals over time, but instead thinks expansively about the role of colour in shaping how hospitals felt. It uses colour to understand the layered meanings of modernity in twentieth-century Britain, and its relationship to the 'mundane' or everyday life of hospitals.
