    Sandheden om Lucy er en roman om to unge, Igor og Lucy. Igor har mistet sine forældre i en trafikulykke. Han er graffitimaler. En dag går han ind i en gammel jernbanevogn ved Nørrebro Station, hvor han finder en bevidstløs og mishandlet ung pige, som han kalder Lucy. Han forelsker sig i hende. Det udvikler sig til en historie om kærlighed, vold og bortførelse. Langsomt kommer han på sporet af, hvem hun er. Igor og Lucy viser sig, hver på deres måde, at være i besiddelse af ganske særlige evner. På jagt efter virkeligheden bag tilbagevendende syner hos Igor, drager de til Amazonas, ledsaget af Snehvide, en fhv. jægersoldat fra Haveforeningen. Deres skæbner er flettet sammen i en sagnomspunden ruinby, City of Z. En legendarisk ekspedition, anført af Oberst Fawcett i det forrige århundrede, er sporløst forsvundet og har efterladt sig en hemmelig notesbog om byens beliggenhed. Ekspeditionens skæbne er ukendt. Rejsen får et udfald, som ingen kunne have forudset. Sandheden om Lucy af Ib Michael er på én gang en kærlighedsroman og en eventyrroman – en vild, dramatisk og underholdende historie.

    Bror, jeg kan huske / den klare stjernehimmel / pigtrådshegnet omkring os / Vi fejrer vi din 23-års fødselsdag / med elefanthuer på.Vilde debutdigte, hvor drømmesyn blander sig med skarpe erindringsglimt fra et liv med vold og kriminalitet, men også stærke maskuline fællesskaber og en elsket storebror.Wilhelm Østergaard fik hjernerystelse til boksetræning og lå brak i halvandet år uden at kunne læse, se tv, arbejde eller høre musik. Han købte en skrivemaskine og begyndte at skrive sine egne tekster. Det blev hen ad vejen til ”Din hund kører på børnebillet”, der kredser om fortællerens rejse gennem sygdomsforløb og den ensomhed, der opstår, når man sidder hjælpeløs og alene og glor ud i luften. Et andet spor er de syrede drømmesekvenser, der vokser frem i isolationens halvverden. Et tredje spor erindringsglimtene om faren, moren og broren og en vild ungdom med slagsmål og fængselsophold, men også stærke maskuline fællesskaber og kærlighedsforhold. Fra dage på sofaen derhjemme løsrevet fra virkelighed og dagligdag til speedede ture gennem Berlins undergrund og farlige ayahuasca-trips dybt inde i den sydamerikanske jungle.

Amidst the friendship, a humorous moment leads other jungle animals to enjoy the ride too. Zozo's adventure brings her up close to the whimsically illustrated tropical residents-goofy, giggling monkeys, parachuting spiders, a teddy-bear-holding baby bat, quetzals, parrots, and a multitude of other birds. The animals add depth and richness (and laughs!) to the wonderful watery landscape showcased in this premium full-color 32-page book.

  • - How America Took, Built, Ran, and Ultimately Gave Away the Panama Canal
    af Noel Maurer & Carlos Yu
    287,95 - 542,95 kr.

    On August 15, 1914, the Panama Canal officially opened for business, forever changing the face of global trade and military power, as well as the role of the United States on the world stage. The Canal's creation is often seen as an example of U.S. triumphalism, but Noel Maurer and Carlos Yu reveal a more complex story. Examining the Canal's influence on Panama, the United States, and the world, The Big Ditch deftly chronicles the economic and political history of the Canal, from Spain's earliest proposals in 1529 through the final handover of the Canal to Panama on December 31, 1999, to the present day. The authors show that the Canal produced great economic dividends for the first quarter-century following its opening, despite massive cost overruns and delays. Relying on geographical advantage and military might, the United States captured most of these benefits. By the 1970s, however, when the Carter administration negotiated the eventual turnover of the Canal back to Panama, the strategic and economic value of the Canal had disappeared. And yet, contrary to skeptics who believed it was impossible for a fledgling nation plagued by corruption to manage the Canal, when the Panamanians finally had control, they switched the Canal from a public utility to a for-profit corporation, ultimately running it better than their northern patrons. A remarkable tale, The Big Ditch offers vital lessons about the impact of large-scale infrastructure projects, American overseas interventions on institutional development, and the ability of governments to run companies effectively.

The Life Cycle charts her mission to find out why biodiversity is so important, what's happening to it, and what can be done to protect it. From the Pacific Ocean to rainforests and salt flats, Kate learns that armadillos can cross rivers by holding their breath, that Colombia has more species of birds than North America and Europe combined, and that in threatening species and ecosystems, we're tearing down our own life support system. En route, she witnesses the devastation of goldmining and oil drilling but finds hope in the incredible people working to regenerate habitats and communities. As she reaches the 'end of the world', she realises that to tackle biodiversity loss we all have a role to play.
