  The Touch

  Wie gestaltet man einen Raum, der nicht nur den visuellen, sondern auch alle anderen menschlichen Sinne anspricht? Nathan Williams von Kinfolk und Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen von Norm Architects gehen dieser Frage in ihrer ersten gemeinsamen Publikation The Touch - Spaces Designed for the Senses nach und präsentieren ein Designverständnis, das den Menschen und sein sinnliches Erleben in den Mittelpunkt stellt.The Touch stellt architektonische Raumkonzepte vor, bei denen Harmonie und Wohlbefinden durch das Zusammenspiel elementarer Gestaltungsaspekte wie Materialität, Haptik, Licht, Farbigkeit und Gemeinschaftsgefühl erzeugt werden. Der Leser erhält dabei Einblicke in über 25 beeindruckende Gebäude aus aller Welt - seien es private Wohnungen, Universitäten, Museen oder Mausoleen, entworfen von Designikonen wie Arne Jacobsen, Le Corbusier oder zeitgenössischen Architekten wie Tatiana Bilbao oder Studio K.Neben aufschlussreichen Interviews mit Designern und Architekten gehen philosophischeund kunsthistorische Bezüge der langen Tradition von Raumtheorien und Farbenlehre nach.

  A Father's Heart

  "The Self- Existent One desired a likeminded kinfolk. The reason for all that was created was to provide essentials to incubate a spiritual kinship with God. It follows that mankind, likewise, has obligation to provide a safe and secure environment for his own offspring. The admonition from God to the fathers is to nurture his own family in an orderly arranged environment, designed to equip his children and prepare them for God." Luke 1:17- And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. Monte Dean Fertig is husband to Jayne, of 61 years, a father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He grew up wild in Wyoming, joined the Marine Corps, was a builder and developer in Wyoming, Colorado and the Dakotas. This book is written for his descendants to memorialize lessons he learned, and to exhort them to carry the torch of godly living into the next generation.

  Blood, Ash, and Bone: A Tai Randolph Mystery, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 599min

  Tai Randolph doesn’t want to hear about homicide. She’s had enough of the dark and the dangerous, and decides some time out of Atlanta is exactly what she needs to put the recent spate of corpses behind her. It’s an idyllic vision: selling her wares at the Savannah Civil War Expo, attending a few Confederate reenactments, and perhaps a little romantic rendezvousing with Trey, who has agreed to put aside the corporate security agent routine and join her for a long weekend in her hometown. But in the South, the past is never truly past; it tends to rise again. In Tai’s case, it shows up as her tattooed heartbreaker of an ex-boyfriend desperate for her help. He spins a tale of betrayal, deceit, and a stolen Civil War artifact that Tai agrees to help him recover. As it turns out, Trey’s on the case too, representing a wealthy competing client after the same prize. As the lovers square off against each other, Tai discovers that her complicated boyfriend makes an even more intriguing adversary when he reveals the ferociously the South, the past is never past. Tai Randolph doesn’t want to hear about homicide. She’s had enough competitive streak under his cool Armani exterior. But where there’s money, there’s usually murder—this time involving the KKK and Tai’s unapologetically unreconstructed kinfolk. As she unravels the clues to a 150-year-old mystery, she digs up secrets from her own past and Trey’s, forcing a confrontation with a ruthless killer—and with her own willingness to do whatever it takes to save everything that matters. ungekürzt.

  All's Well That Ends: An Amanda Pepper Mystery, Book 14 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 519min

  Barring the usual teenage pranks, all seems peaceful at Philly Prep, the private school in Philadelphia where Amanda Pepper teaches English. No doubt the money that appears to be missing from funds collected to aid victims of a catastrophic hurricane Down South will turn up. Probably the rumor that some of Amanda’s students have discovered the thrills of gambling is totally unfounded. In any case, Amanda has other things to think about. Her husband, private investigator C. K. MacKenzie, is struggling to help his Louisiana kinfolk reconstruct their post-hurricane lives. Her friend Sasha’s stepmother has just committed suicide - although, according to Sasha, Phoebe Ennis would never have killed herself, especially not while having a drink and wearing a red silk blouse and red sandals with four-inch heels. Amanda isn’t persuaded but reluctantly agrees to help investigate the woman’s demise, though the evidence for foul play is slim. True, the middle-aged compulsive collector of knickknacks wasn’t universally loved. Phoebe’s own son hated her and she bored her friends to death with hints of her “royal” lineage. And with four marriages behind her, she was already preparing to announce her renewed availability on the Net. But when another woman is found dead in Phoebe’s house, it becomes clear that something is indeed murderously amiss, and much closer to home than Amanda or anyone else could have imagined. All’s Well That Ends is the final book in Gillian Roberts’s acclaimed Amanda Pepper series. It’s also the best, irresistibly intelligent, and richly entertaining. Amanda’s farewell adventure brings the genius of “the Dorothy Parker of mystery writers” (Nancy Pickard) into full flower, and the bloom is sweet and a wonder to behold. ungekürzt. Language: English.

• Almost Dead (eBook, ePUB)

  Beginning in the late seventeenth century and concluding with the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade, Almost Dead reveals how the thousands of captives who lived, bled, and resisted in the Black Urban Atlantic survived to form dynamic communities. Michael Lawrence Dickinson uses cities with close commercial ties to shed light on similarities, variations, and linkages between urban Atlantic slave communities in mainland America and the Caribbean. The study adopts the perspectives of those enslaved to reveal that, in the eyes of the enslaved, the distinctions were often of degree rather than kind as cities throughout the Black Urban Atlantic remained spaces for Black oppression and resilience. The tenets of subjugation remained all too similar, as did captives' need to stave off social death and hold on to their humanity. Almost Dead argues that urban environments provided unique barriers to and avenues for social rebirth: the process by which African-descended peoples reconstructed their lives individually and collectively after forced exportation from West Africa. This was an active process of cultural remembrance, continued resistance, and communal survival. It was in these urban slave communities-within the connections between neighbors and kinfolk-that the enslaved found the physical and psychological resources necessary to endure the seemingly unendurable. Whether sites of first arrival, commodification, sale, short-term captivity, or lifetime enslavement, the urban Atlantic shaped and was shaped by Black lives.

  A Slightly Haunted Life: One Somewhat Skeptical Florida Man's Brushes with Spooks, Skunk Apes, UFOs and Night Terrors (eBook, ePUB)

  In 1963, at age eight, Mark S. Murley awoke to find a cat in his bedroom, staring directly at him. Worth noting: The family didn't own a cat. When the feline fled the room by "melting" through a closed window, young Murley's life took a permanent turn for the Uncanny. A procession of curious encounters followed over the next five decades ranging from head-scratching to outright terrifying. Some of these events had rational explanations … but quite a few did not. In his first book, the author talks about his half-century challenge to come to terms with the procession of oddities that he and some close friends and kinfolk were experiencing. Murley presents over 50 stories, many in which he was personally involved, including: The Memphis Stairwell Spook; The Crone; The Trailer Ghost; The Kinsey Vault Incident; The Floating Thing; The Ghostly Lights House; Nine Tiny Graves; Cousin Jan's Ouija Board; Mom! Dad! There's a Gorilla in Our Back Yard!; The Weird, Close Giant "V" Flyover; Early Morning Sprint from the Floating Dish House; and many more. You'll also meet some of Murley's friends who waded neck-deep into the Inexplicable, including: - Zach Johnston, whose entire family had a front-row seat to the exhumation of their recently buried dog by a Skunk Ape. - Steve Walton, whose errant bullet brought down a Tennessee vulture that was quickly removed by Something that heaved up from and disappeared back into the murky Hatchie River. - Dan and his poignant tale of "Rosalyn and the Forgotten Flower," involving a woman who died in 1926 but could not rest until Dan and his friend Scott finally determined how to fulfill her ghostly request. - Wes Hardaway, who, along with the author, faced the chilling Trailer Ghost head-on. - The colorful Zeke Richardson, who head-shakingly maintained until his final days that he witnessed a waist-level fly-by of a miniature Japanese Zero, complete with a tiny waving pilot. You'll also hear from the author's late mother, who passed in 2019 at age 102, who contributed several tales from her early rural Florida years. This includes the mind-bending but spiritually uplifting "Angels Over DeBary" and the discomfiting "Man in the Coffin Apparition," which the author calls "hands down the most disturbing ghost story I've ever heard." Adds Murley: "The tale so unnerved me that, after Mom told it to me for the first time, I wished she hadn't!" Other than a few anecdotal side trips to Iowa, California, and Tennessee, A Slightly Haunted Life is pure Sunshine State. Who knew that Murley's hometown of 60 years - tiny, rural Geneva, Florida, particularly in the 1960s and '70s - would become Ground Zero for so many odd happenings? Local lore is well represented by entire chapters on the mysterious Oviedo Lights, spooky-weird Cassadaga (aka the Psychic Capital of the World), and the inscrutable Chapman Road Ghost Kids. And all are previously unpublished stories. As Murley says in the Introduction: "Story freshness is a big advantage to documenting my own experiences and those of a few close friends and relatives. Unless the folks who were present during some of these adventures pen their own versions, it's unlikely that you'll be familiar with any. No twenty-seventh retelling of Two-Toed Tom will be found in these pages!" Written in an analytical but conversational style with plenty of humor sprinkled throughout, you'll find A Slightly Haunted Life (about 389 e-pages) to be unlike any unexplained phenomena book you've ever read.
