Uiguurikansan kova kohtaloTunnetun ihmisoikeusaktivistin teos kertoo Kiinan uiguureihin kohdistamasta sorrosta.Tunnetun ihmisoikeusaktivistin Nury Turkelin muistelmateos Ei pakotietä – Uiguurin tarina paljastaa Kiinan uiguureja kohtaan harjoittaman sorron koko laajuudessaan. Kiina on viime vuosien kuluessa sulkenut noin kolme miljoonaa uiguuria keskitysleirejä muistuttaville uudelleenkoulutusleireille. Turkel kuvaa leirien olevan ”salamyhkäisiä paikkoja, joissa kidutetaan, teetetään orjatyötä, raiskataan ja murhataan käsittämättömän laajassa mittakaavassa joutumatta siitä minkäänlaiseen vastuuseen”.Kiinassa kasvanut mutta Yhdysvalloista turvapaikan saanut Turkel tuo kirjassaan esiin uiguurien sorron historiaa etenkin viime vuosikymmenien aikana. Hän kertoo oman tarinansa lisäksi monista auttamistaan uiguureista, joiden järkyttävät kohtalot kuvaavat karulla tavalla Kiinan toimia uiguureja vastaan.
Quantum physics and relativity, two of the most important advances in modern science, are normally presented as a series of technical discoveries in 20th century Europe.Yet this brief, easy-to-read volume shows how they were underpinned by centuries of observations about the nature of reality from the great philosophies and faiths of humanity, from China to India to the Middle East.At each stage, the people involved found themselves saying: 'That's impossible! That makes no sense. And yet...'

Sam Jam sat in a school library and challenged the school community to ask him about the origin of anything at all — and pledged to use library resources to answer within 60 minutes. Children and adults delivered clever, funny, unexpected questions: Who owned the first pet dog? Who invented toilets? What was the first song? Were the first newspapers really made of rock? And who was the first human, anyway?Seeking answers, he and his young assistants discovered remarkable true tales:And dozens more remarkable true stories.The result is a fun story collection about the origins of a huge range of things — which also introduces young readers to the art and science of academic research. In these times of fake news, information overload, and too much homework, the ability to conduct fast, accurate research is one of the best skills any student can have — and you can learn it in these pages.

Nur aus Gefälligkeit nimmt der Fengshui-Meister C.F. Wong die siebzehnjährige Australierin Joyce als Praktikantin in seinem Fengshui-Büro in Singapur. Aber dass Joyce nicht mit ein wenig Ablage zufrieden zu stellen ist, damit hat er nicht gerechnet. Ebenso überraschend stellt sich heraus, dass bei seinen Aufträgen jeweils mehr hinter dem schlechten Fengshui steckt ... Trotz aller Missverständnisse werden die vorlaute Joyce und der mürrische Wong ein unschlagbares Team. Mit britischem Humor, asiatischer Philosophie und gesundem Menschenverstand wenden die beiden auch noch das schlechteste Fengshui zum Guten.
Vor einer Woche hat C. F. Wong eine Zweigstelle in Shanghai eröffnet. In der Hauptstadt des Turbokapitalismus will er mit Fengshui-Beratungen leichtes Geld verdienen und die schönen Dinge des Lebens genießen. Mit von der Partie sind seine junge Assistentin Joyce und die chaotische Sekretärin Winnie Lim. Leider hat C. F. Wong aber nicht bedacht, dass die verrückte Riesenmetropole ihr eigenes Karma besitzt ... Einer zerstörerischen Abrissbirne können die drei gerade noch entkommen. Doch dann bleiben sie im größten Verkehrsstau stecken, den Shanghai je erlebt hat: Der amerikanische Präsident wird erwartet, vegane Terroristen sind in der Stadt und mitten im Zentrum treibt sich ein weißer Elefant herum. C. F. Wong hat keine Wahl: Er muss die Welt und Shanghai retten.

For some, he was a villain. For others, a hero.Based on a true story, Once Upon a Time in France follows the life of Joseph Joanovici, a Romanian Jew who immigrated to France in the 1920s and became one of the richest men in Europe as a scrap-metal magnate. During the German occupation of France, he thought his influence could keep his family safe, but he soon finds that the only way to stay one step ahead of the Nazis is to keep his friends close and his enemies closer. Though he plays both sides of the fence as a Nazi collaborator and French resistant, a tangled web of interests forms around him that proves it will take a lot more than money to pay for the survival of his family. An international bestseller with over 1 million copies sold, the French series Once Upon a Time in France, collected here in one omnibus edition, has won the BDGest'Art Best Scenario Award, BDGest'Arts Album of the Year, and Angoulême International Comics Festival Best Series Award, among many others.
