Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'A masterpiece of quiet patience'London Daily News'This is not a book for journalists. Civil servants, too, will feel uneasy while reading it, and as for lawyers, they will never sleep again. For it is about a man in his capacity as homo faber, a maker of things with his hands, and what has any of us ever made but words. I say it is 'about' the man who makes; truly, it is more a hymn of praise than a description, and not only because the toiler who is the hero of the book is a hero indeed - a figure, in his humanity, simplicity, worthy of inclusion in the catalogue of mythical giants alongside Hercules, Atlas, Gargantua and Orion.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Winner of the Books for a Better Life Award 2011Millions of families are affected by eating disorders, which usually strike women between the ages of fourteen and twenty.Conventional medical wisdom dictates separating the patient from the family and insists that 'it's not about the food', even as a family watches a child waste away before their eyes. Harriet Brown shows how counterproductive - and heartbreaking - this approach is by telling her daughter's story of anorexia. She describes how her family, with the support of an open-minded paediatrician and a therapist, helped her daughter recover using family-based treatment, developed at the Maudsley Hospital in London.Brave Girl Eating is essential reading for families and professionals alike, a guiding light for anyone who's struggling to cope with this devastating disease. 256 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Shortly after completing The Drowned and the Saved, Primo Levi committed suicide. The manner of his death was sudden, violent and unpremeditated, and there are some who argue that he kiled himself because he was tormented by guilt - guilt that he had survived the horrors of Auscwitz while others, better than he, had gone to the wall.'The Drowned and the Saved dispels the myth that Primo Levi forgave the Germans for what they did to his people. He didn't, and couldn't forgive. Her refused, however, to indulge in what he called 'the bestial vice of hatred' which is an entirely different matter. The voice that sounds in his writing is that of a reasonable man . . . it warns and reminds us that the unimaginable can happen again.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 35 outstanding Westerns, from James Frederic Remington to Rick BassThe Western is one of the great genres of world literature - singularly American, but with a truly global readership. Ever since James Fenimore Cooper transformed frontier yarns into a distinct literary form, the Western has followed two paths: one populist - Time magazine's American Morality Play - able to fit any political philosophy from red to redneck, with a sentimental attachment to the misfit; the other literary - eschewing heroism and debunking many of the myths of the West. It can sometimes be difficult to draw a sure line between the two forms, but the best of both are represented in this excellent collection which includes stories by Willa Cather, Stephen Crane, Hamlin Garland, A. B. Guthrie, O. Henry, William Kittredge, Mari Sandoz, Leslie Marmon Silko and Wallace Stegner, among many others. 560 pp. Deutsch.

Since her mother's death, all she has been able to learn is his first name - and that only through a strange bond she has forged with the man who killed him: Glen Fallan.

Catherine is not smiling, however. From the moment she discovered a symbol daubed on the victim's head, she has understood that this case is far more dangerous than it appears on the surface: deeper than skin, darker than blood; something that could threaten her family and end her career.As one battles her demons and the other chases her ghosts, these two very different detectives will ultimately confront the secrets that have entangled both of their fates since before Jasmine was even born.
