Frankfurter Westend, Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts: Hier beginnt die Geschichte der Wertheims. Einer alteingesessenen Frankfurter Familie...

An einem Wintermorgen, an dem heftiger Schneefall die Luft Barcelonas mit tanzenden Kristallen füllte, wird Alba geboren. Sie wird Menschen verzaubern: mit der Gabe, durch ihre Koch- und Backkünste Glück zu verbreiten. Doch in den rauen Zeiten des Nachkriegsspaniens ist es für eine junge Frau nicht leicht, sich den Weg zum Glück zu erkämpfen.

Zunächst glaubt Barbara Pross noch an einen üblen Scherz, als pünktlich zu ihrer Vorlesung über den Serienmörder Kroll Schweinedärme in einer Unitoilette schwimmen. Doch dann tauchen Leichen auf, die wie bei anderen berühmten Fällen zugerichtet wurden. Barbara hat seit drei Semestern einen Lehrauftrag für Investigative Psychologie an der Uni, außerdem hält sie Vorträge an den Polizeifachhochschulen und wird des öfteren als externe Beraterin zu schwierigen Fällen hinzugezogen. Ein solcher Fall, ein Serienvergewaltiger, führt sie zurück nach Burg im Kreis Dithmarschen, dem Ort ihrer schlimmsten Niederlage, dem Fall Schmidtmann.

Thailandia e Cambogia, Somalia e Repubblica Democratica del Congo, Brasile e Colombia, Pakistan e Italia. Sono alcune delle aree in cui Medici Senza Frontiere svolge da più di trent'anni la sua opera di soccorso rivolta alle popolazioni povere e alle vittime delle catastrofi e delle guerre. Nove scrittori italiani (Alessandro Baricco, Stefano Benni, Gianrico Carofiglio, Mauro Covacich, Sandro Dazieri, Silvia Di Natale, Paolo Giordano, Antonio Pascale, Domenico Starnone) le hanno visitate e in questo libro raccontano ciò che hanno visto.

Manca solo un mese alla nascita del suo primo figlio, quando Valeria sente pronunciare dai medici le parole che nessuna madre vorrebbe mai sentirsi dire: "Non c’è battito." Anche se non ha mai visto la luce, al bambino che per otto mesi è cresciuto nella sua pancia Valeria ha quotidianamente rivolto parole, pensieri, racconti, sogni... Come può accettarne la morte? Per un genitore la perdita di un figlio è una tragica sovversione del ciclo naturale della vita, un'ingiustizia inaccettabile, una sofferenza atroce che congela ogni cosa e da cui sembra impossibile poter riemergere.

Dallo stadio iniziale, caldissimo, circa 4,56 miliardi di anni fa, la Terra si sta lentamente raffreddando. Il rapporto che la lega all'uomo si fa ogni giorno più intenso: crescita demografica e sviluppo tecnologico richiedono un maggiore sviluppo delle fonti energetiche e un aumento dell'approvvigionamento di acqua e cibo. Capire come funziona il nostro pianeta è indispensabile per poterne utilizzare le risorse in modo sostenibile e per difendersi dai rischi naturali.

I fenomeni naturali, anche nei loro aspetti più temibili, ci ricordano che la Terra è un pianeta vivo. In particolare il nostro paese è geologicamente fragile: terremoti, eruzioni, frane, inondazioni ricorrono costantemente con effetti devastanti sull'uomo, il territorio, la sua economia. E spesso a un ambiente fisico così difficile si è colpevolmente aggiunta l'incuria e la disattenzione dell'uomo.

Nel piccolo continente di Alika, popolato da umani, ninfe, draghi, mutaforma e altre creature fantastiche, tra guerre civili e maledizioni, mari infestati da pirati e foreste mortali, si incrociano le strade di quattro ragazzi: Ayeres, Jean, Miluna e Cyrniev. A ognuno di loro, per motivi diversi, è stata affidata la stessa missione: rubare Tarima, un medaglione gravato da una maledizione sconosciuta ai più, simbolo del potere di uno dei dieci Stati del continente.

Intervalle sind überall. Sie strukturieren unseren Alltag und takten unser Leben. Doch wir haben verlernt, in Einklang mit dem Biorhythmus zu leben, fühlen uns gestresst und erschöpft. Der bekannte Zeitmanagement-Experte Lothar Seiwert und die Wirtschaftsjournalistin Silvia Sperling zeigen hier die Bedeutung der Intervalle für unser Leben auf. Ihr Praxisbuch fungiert als eine Anleitung, um den Alltag wieder mit unserer natürlichen Biologie zu synchronisieren.

Baja California, 1979. Viridiana spends her days watching the dead sharks piled beside the seashore, as the fishermen pull their nets. There is nothing else to do. Yet her head is filled with dreams of Hollywood films, of romance, of a future beyond the drab town where her only option is to marry and have children. Three wealthy American tourists arrive for the summer, and Viridiana is magnetized. They offer excitement, and perhaps an escape. When one of them dies, Viridiana lies to protect her friends. Soon enough, someone’s asking questions....

My life is a mess. I've become the loser my father expected me to be, and now I'm stuck on his ranch. The only good thing in this scenario is the foreman, Blake.

I want to keep him, even though we seem to belong in different worlds.

When glamorous socialite Noemí Taboada receives a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin begging to be rescued from a mysterious doom, it's clear something is desperately amiss. Catalina has always had a flair for the dramatic, but her claims that her husband is poisoning her and her visions of restless ghosts seem remarkable, even for her.
