Lessons to be learned from Biblical figures when facing crises

God, I'm Struggling

&ldquo;Delightful, with deep, delicious layers and a savory-sweet ending. I gobbled it up.&rdquo; &mdash;Wendelin Van Draanen, award-winning author of Flipped and The Running Dream&ldquo;This book is a literal warm hug for your soul. Reck&rsquo;s storytelling is an immersive sensory experience and his characters burrow into your heart. Not only will this book make you hungry, it will fill you with joy and leave you wishing to revisit Hej Hej, Oscar and his Farfar time and again.&rdquo; &mdash;Erin Hahn, author of&#160;You&rsquo;d Be Mine&#160;and&#160;More Than Maybe"A big-hearted look at the way food, love, and family are inextricably linked. This book is a bittersweet tale of following your passion, finding deep connections in unlikely places, and learning you can do more than you even imagined. It is as warm and satisfying as a donut straight from the fryer!"&#160;&mdash;Peter Bognanni, author of&#160;Things I'm Seeing Without You"It's been a long time since a book's final sentence filled my heart to bursting, but this one did it. Disarmingly poignant and full of warmth, Donuts and Other Proclamations of Love is a compelling story of found family, delicious food, and all the ways we carry our ever-evolving dreams with us." &mdash;Nina Moreno, author&#160;of&#160;Don't Date Rosa Santos&#160;"Likable, well-rounded characters keep readers turning pages.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews

Donuts and Other Proclamations of Love

NATIONAL BESTSELLER&ldquo;[O]ne of the most important reads to come out of B.C., if not the country, this year. . . . It&rsquo;s a story that&rsquo;s heartbreaking, infuriating, shocking, suspenseful, and inspiring. And it&rsquo;s a tale that continues to unfold.&rdquo; &mdash;Stir&ldquo;[Not on My Watch] doesn&rsquo;t read as an angry polemic. Rather, it&rsquo;s an outline of a life spent standing up for something.&rdquo; &mdash;Dana Gee, Vancouver Sun&ldquo;Alex Morton&rsquo;s&#160;Not on My Watch, like&#160;Silent Spring, should touch off a national debate about rights and obligations, and while we&rsquo;re at it, about decolonization. If&#160;Not on My Watch&#160;needs to be peer reviewed, those peers should include ordinary people with a thirst for justice and common sense. And every politician should be judged by their reaction to this book.&rdquo; &mdash;The Tyee&ldquo;This is an important book filled with cautionary tales for anyone who cares about the environment. It is also a moving and well written human story. Highly recommended.&rdquo; &mdash;Tom Sandborn,&#160;Vancouver Sun"A devastating literary expos&eacute; of one of the greatest scandals of recent Canadian history. What begins as a wholly human memoir of a reluctant activist takes on the urgency of a murder thriller&mdash;one in which the victims are wild salmon, coastal communities, science and democracy."&#160;&mdash;J.B. MacKinnon, author of&#160;The Once and Future World: Nature As It Was, As It Is, As It Could Be&#160; &ldquo;How does a scientist and mother fight both foreign-owned fish farm cartels and lying governments? Alexandra Morton provides a thrilling recipe: a wallop of persistence, three decades of science, cups of stubbornness and the salt of undaunted courage. If the Pacific Northwest Coast's wild salmon can survive our industrial assault on their very existence, credit must go to the indomitable courage of Alex Morton and a brave renaissance in First Nations governance.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Andrew Nikiforuk, author of&#160;Empire of Beetle&#160;and&#160;Slickwater&#160; "Not on My Watch&#160;is an urgent, essential read for anyone who cares about the rapidly dwindling wild salmon population of British Columbia.&#160; Meticulous, penetrating and passionate, Morton&rsquo;s thorough exploration of the history and effect of placing an industrial zone in prime wild salmon habitat is chilling and infuriating."&#160;&mdash;Eden Robinson, author of the Trickster Trilogy&ldquo;If ever there was a Mother Teresa for the voiceless inhabitants of the rivers of Pacific Canada, for the salmon and orca whales and small-scale fishers and others, that unstoppable voice has been Alexandra Morton&rsquo;s. Grounded in science, rooted in a just cause, driven to find answers that come only with painstaking work&mdash;and most importantly, right all along&mdash;Alexandra Morton endured decades of harassment, lies and threats by people who profit from destroying ages-old sources of life. Her resolute strength through it all will inspire new defenders of wild things and wild places for generations to come. Fundamentally, this is Alexandra Morton&rsquo;s compelling, sometimes maddening story of unstoppable love.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Carl Safina, author of&#160;Becoming Wild: How Animal Cultures Raise Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace,&#160;and of&#160;Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel

“There are a few writers who are special. They make the world in their books; or rather, they open a window or a door or a magic casement, and they show you the world in which they live. Ramsey Campbell, for example, writes stories that, read in quantity, will re-form your world into a grey and ominous place in which strange shapes flicker at the corner of your eyes, and a patch of smoke or a blown plastic shopping bag takes on some kind of ghastly significance.”

Praise for W. Michael Gear&ldquo;What a ride! Excitement, adventure, and intrigue, all told in W. Michael Gear's vivid, compulsively readable prose. A terrific new science-fiction series;&#160;Gear hits a home run&#160;right out of the park and all the way to Capella.&rdquo; &mdash;Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of&#160;Quantum Night&#160;&ldquo;A marginal colony on a living world&mdash;where human life and human will are tested to the limits. An&#160;intriguing and inventive&#160;new work from Michael Gear, first of a trilogy. Recommended!&rdquo; &mdash;C. J. Cherryh, Hugo Award-winning author of&#160;Downbelow Station&#160;&ldquo;Gear kicks off a new sf series by weaving a number of compelling characters into the narrative, including bold heroine Talina Perez and Donovan itself,&#160;a planet teeming with danger and delights&#160;in turn.... Fans of epic space opera, like Rachel Bach&rsquo;s&#160;Fortune&rsquo;s Pawn&#160;(2013), will happily lose themselves in Donovan&rsquo;s orbit.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist&#160;&ldquo;W. Michael Gear creates&#160;a fun and colorful setting&#160;on a planet full of interesting fauna and cunning, deadly animals.&rdquo; &mdash;RT Reviews&#160;&ldquo;Dark and gritty, this book shows both the best and worst sides of humanity, all while being&#160;emotional and thought-provoking.&rdquo; &mdash;It Starts at Midnight&#160;&ldquo;It's not easy to create an entire new planet setting and to immediately ground the reader in that world, but&#160;Gear makes it look easy.... He strikes an impressive balance between only telling us what we need to know when we need to know it and making this feel like a fully-realized place from the get-go.&rdquo; &mdash;Den of Geek&#160;&ldquo;The&#160;novel's prose is as razor-sharp as Donovan's toothy beasts, its characters deftly defined. The enveloping narrative gallops along at a fierce pace and will make&#160;Outpost&#160;one of the must-read sci-fi releases of 2018 when it arrives on February 20 from DAW Books.&rdquo; &mdash;SyFy Wire&#160;&ldquo;A thrilling tale&#160;of high-stakes survival on an alien planet.&rdquo; &mdash;Dread Central

The Alpha Enigma

Der "Held" dieses Romans, Otto Maier, Barpianist und österreichischer Jude, gerät in die Fänge der Gestapo. Der zuständige Gestapobeamte Franz Macholdt, ein ehemaliger Schulkamerad von Otto, versucht ihn zu Spitzeldiensten zu erpressen, indem er ihm für den Fall seiner Mitarbeit die Freilassung seines Vaters aus dem KZ verspricht. 1939, kurz vor Ausbruch des Krieges, schreibt Otto Maier in einer Pariser Gefängniszelle seine Geschichte nieder, beginnend mit seiner Kindheit. Ottos Verhältnis zum Vater pendelt zwischen Liebe, Verehrung und Sich-unverstanden-Fühlen hin und her, der vernunftorientierte Vater und sein künstlerisch-kreativer Sohn geraten oft aneinander. Otto will Pianist werden, der Vater ist einverstanden, trotzdem hat Otto ein schlechtes Gewissen. Als der Vater sehr früh von der Gestapo abgeholt wird, fühlt Otto sich verantwortlich und lässt sich – unter Zugzwang – auf den Spitzeldienst ein. 
Der Roman endet mit einem Gespräch Ottos mit seinem Religionslehrer, einem Kammerstück, in dem es noch einmal um alles geht: den Versuch, Rechenschaft abzulegen über den Verrat an seinen Freunden und sein Scheitern; sich Klarheit zu schaffen über den verzweifelten Irrweg, den Otto in einer aus den Fugen geratenen Zeit gegangen ist, durch die tiefsten moralischen Niederungen hindurch bis zur biblischen Höhe der Erkenntnisse. 

Der Roman entstand in Torbergs amerikanischer Exilzeit und erschien erstmals 1948. 1970 wurde er von Ludwig Cremer verfilmt, in den Hauptrollen: Peter Vogel, Erika Pluhar, Helmut Lohner.

Lettere Di Egidio Forcellini Al Fratello Marco (1876)

&ldquo;[Plant Partners] takes a new look at a popular subject that has long relied on folklore and conjecture rather than research.&rdquo; &mdash; Margaret Roach,&#160;The New York Times &ldquo;Plant Partners offers more than just specific plant pairings; it encourages us to think about the relationships between plants, so that we can grow our best garden ever." &mdash; Jeff Gillman, PhD, Director of the UNC Charlotte Botanical Gardens and best-selling author of The Truth about GardenRemedies and Decoding Gardening Advice "Finally, a science-based book that addresses the &#39;companion&#160;planting&#39; concept of how and why plants can - and really do -&#160;play a tangible role in helping to create healthier, more&#160;productive vegetable gardens.&#160;Plant Partners&#160;is a fun and&#160;fascinating read. It is well-researched and Jessica Walliser&rsquo;s&#160;ability to pack so much useful information into this book just&#160;adds to the experience. I enthusiastically recommend this&#160;book!" &mdash; Joe Lamp&rsquo;l,&#160;executive producer and host of&#160;Growing a Greener World "Plant Partners takes the age-old concept of companion planting and adds a modern, scientific rigor. You&#39;ll better understand the true reasons to companion plant and why certain combinations work on a scientific basis. I guarantee you&#39;ll learn something you never knew within the first 10 pages of the book.&rdquo; &mdash;&#160;Kevin Espiritu, author and founder of Epic Gardening&#160; &ldquo;Those who know what to expect from Jessica Walliser&rsquo;s previous&#160;work&#160;will not be disappointed&#160;in this important book. Here, in easy-to-understand language, is the science-based knowledge vegetable gardeners need to make informed choices when combining plants. Who knew I should be planting nasturtiums with my summer squash?&#160;This book can turn your favorite hobby into a way to make the planet a better place.&rdquo;&#160; &mdash; James Baggett, senior editor, Garden Gate magazine&#160; &ldquo;For over a decade, Jessica Walliser has been my go-to resource for information on beneficial&#160;insects, pollinators, and&#160;companion planting. Plant Partners&#160;is a fresh look at a traditional topic. It approaches the&#160;subject of companion&#160;planting&#160;through the&#160;eyes of science and is an approachable, fascinating read. As you learn the many, many benefits to pairing plants, you&rsquo;ll look at your garden in a whole new way. Plant Partners is set to become a new garden classic.&rdquo; &mdash; Niki Jabbour, author of&#160;The Year-Round Vegetable Gardener&#160;and&#160;Growing Under Cover "A well-supported and helpful look at the practice of plant partnering... Walliser&rsquo;s lively guide will aid many a horticulturally minded reader." &mdash;&#160;Publisher&#39;s Weekly
