Children's & YAJune 2020Eu rezemos só que me safo
Sessenta redacções de crianças Napolitanas
by Marcello D’Orta
This debut book by elementary school teacher Marcello D'Orta presents an amusing collection of sixty essays by students from Arzano elementary school. It was considered by critics a bestseller of biblical power, where rebellion, ignorance and bad education become expression, even revolution of the language. It renews faith in the existence of Napolitano humor as an autonomous literary genre. An encounter between the unknown and childlike thought that is both grandly serious and comical.

Die Briefe, die Gadda zwischen 1920 und 1963 an den »brüderlichen Freund« Bonaventura Tecchi richtet, den er in deutscher Kriegsgefangenschaft kennengelernt hat, bezeugen die Leidensgeschichte des Ingenieurs Gadda, der unter seinem Brotberuf leidet und als Dichter hartnäckig und zäh um »Zutritt zum Parnaß« kämpft.

MedicineJuly 2018Are We Pushing Animals to Their Biological Limits?
Welfare and Ethical Implications
by Temple Grandin, Martin Whiting
Stimulating and thought-provoking, this important new text looks at the welfare problems and philosophical and ethical issues that are caused by changes made to an animal's telos, behaviour and physiology, both positive and negative, to make them more productive or adapted for human uses. These changes may involve selective breeding for production, appearance traits, or competitive advantage in sport, transgenic animals or the use of pharmaceuticals or hormones to enhance production or performance. Changes may impose duties to care for these animals further and more intensely, or they may make the animal more robust. The book considers a wide range of animals, including farm animals, companion animals and laboratory animals. It reviews the ethics and welfare issues of animals that have been adapted for sport, as companions, in work, as ornaments, food sources, guarding and a whole host of other human functions. This important new book sparks debate and is essential reading for all those involved in animal welfare and ethics, including veterinarians, animal scientists, animal welfare scientists and ethologists.

Second World WarApril 2014Small Town America in World War II
War Stories from Wrightsville, Pennsylvania
by Ronald Marcello
Historians acknowledge that World War II touched every man, woman, and child in the United States. In Small Town America in World War II, Ronald E. Marcello uses oral history interviews with civilians and veterans to explore how the citizens of Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, responded to the war effort. Located along the western shore of the Susquehanna River in York County, Wrightsville was a transportation hub with various shops, stores, and services as well as industrial plants. Interviews with citizens and veterans are organized in sections on the home front; the North African-Italian, European, and Pacific theatres; stateside military service; and occupation in Germany. Throughout Marcello provides introductions and contextual narrative on World War II as well as annotations for events and military terms. Overseas the citizens of Wrightsville turned into soldiers. An infantryman in the Italian campaign, Alfred Forry, explained, “I was forty-five days on the line wearing the same clothes, but everybody was in the same situation, so you didn’t mind the stench and body odors.” A veteran of the Battle of the Bulge, Edward Reisinger, remembered, “Replacements had little chance of surviving. They were sent to the front one day, and the next day they were coming back with mattress covers over them. The sergeants never knew the names of these people.” Mortar man Donald Peters described the death of a buddy who was hit by artillery shrapnel: “His arm was just hanging on by the skin, and his intestines were hanging out.” In the conclusion Marcello examines how the war affected Wrightsville. Did the war bring a return to prosperity? What effects did it have on women? How did wartime trauma affect the returning veterans? In short, did World War II transform Wrightsville and its citizens, or was it the same town after the war?

Children's & YALet's play chess. The world's greatest game explained to kids.
by Marcello Carriero / Yuri Garrett / Sabino Brunello
This book is unique, in that it was conceived especially for children by a chess expert AND a children's books illustrator. Most so-called "children's chess books" are simply chess books for beginners with a few drawings thrown in. This one is different, as eache page was typeset with the goal of appealing to a 6-10 year old child, while retaining the best possible chess information. The language is adapted for children and all exercises have been created by a Chess Grandmaster.

Geography & the EnvironmentOctober 2020Unterirdische Perspektiven
Die historische Nutzung verborgener Räume und ihre Möglichkeiten für die Zukunft
by Alexander Glück
Unterirdische Räume geben der Nachwelt Auskunft über die Menschheitsgeschichte. Von jeher waren Höhlen im Falle einer Bedrohung oder eines Krieges Zufluchtsorte für Menschen. Ebenso wurden Kampfhandlungen während eines Krieges unterirdisch mit künstlich geschaffenen Tunnel- und Stollensystemen geführt. Befestigungsanlagen zum Beispiel wiesen geheime Fluchttunnel auf, durch die man im Belagerungsfall flüchten oder, vom Gegner unbemerkt, Verstärkung in diese hineinführen konnte.Neben der Entwicklungsgeschichte von so genannten "Unterstädten" richtet sich der sachkundige Blick hier auf geologische, architektonische, volkskundliche und technische Aspekte des Untergrunds. Alexander Glück M. A., geboren 1969 in Usingen, Studium der Fächer Buchwesen, Politikwissenschaft und Deutsche Volkskunde in Mainz, lebt seit 1996 als Publizist in Österreich. Zahlreiche Beiträge für Feuilletons, Fach- und Kulturzeitschriften. Veröffentlichte 2001 zusammen mit Marcello La Speranza und Peter Ryborz "Unter Wien. Auf den Spuren des dritten Mannes durch Kanäle, Grüfte und Kasematten".
