2. Bloomsbury American Mother
An extraordinary story of grace, forgiveness, and moral courage.
The English language has no specific word for the parent that has lost a child. There are words for orphan, widow, and widower, but none that captures this tragic type of loss.
It has been eleven years since Diane Foley's son, the American journalist James Foley, was kidnapped in northern Syria, and nearly ten since that day in August 2014 when she learned that he had been murdered by ISIS in a public beheading that reverberated around the world. A whole decade. Time rushes past. Yet, for Diane, that moment is unending.
In "American Mother," legendary author Colum McCann tells Diane's story as she recalls the months of his captivity, the efforts made to bring him home, and the days following his death, during which Diane came face to face with one of the men responsible for her son's kidnapping and torture. A testament to the power of radical empathy and moral courage, "American Mother" takes us inside one woman's extraordinary journey to find connection in a world torn apart and to fight for others as a way to keep her son's memory alive.
3. Penguin Random House An African History of Africa
Selected as a book to look out for in 2024 by the Guardian, everyone is originally from Africa, and this book is therefore for everyone. For too long, Africa's history has been dominated by western narratives of slavery and colonialism, or simply ignored. Now, Zeinab Badawi sets the record straight. In this fascinating book, Badawi guides us through Africa's spectacular history - from the very origins of our species, through ancient civilizations and medieval empires with remarkable queens and kings, to the miseries of conquest and the elation of independence. Visiting more than thirty African countries to interview countless historians, anthropologists, archaeologists, and local storytellers, she unearths buried histories from across the continent and gives Africa its rightful place in our global story. The result is a gripping new account of Africa: an epic, sweeping history of the oldest inhabited continent on the planet, told through the voices of Africans themselves.
4. Thames & Hudson Cartier: The Tank Watch
Designed by Louis Cartier in 1917, the Tank watch is an icon of modern watchmaking. The functionality and refined design of this wristwatch, combining geometry and harmony, defines its strong identity. Immediately recognizable and always in step with the times, the Tank watch has been reinterpreted for more than a century through multiple variations that are forever faithful to the spirit of the original design: Tank Cintrée, Tank Chinoise, Tank Américaine, Tank Française and, more recently, the relaunch of the Tank Must.
Augmented with a chapter on new models created since 2017, this new edition offers a journey into the heart of the myth. Thanks to numerous archival documents and some previously unpublished photos, the book explores, through the passionate pen of a true connoisseur, the most significant Tank watches and their technical characteristics, while drawing up portraits of famous clients who, over time, have been seduced by this timeless timepiece.
5. DTV Das Leben der Eichhörnchen
Survivor, climbing expert, and crowd-pleaser
With acrobatic jumps, it leaps through the treetops, only to later hide the gathered nuts in a safe place: Few animals can be observed as well in the park, forest, or one's own garden as the squirrel. But what do we really know about these little rodents? Biologist and bestselling author Josef H. Reichholf entertainingly answers all conceivable questions and also includes other members of the extensive squirrel family, such as the 16-gram African pygmy squirrel or the six-and-a-half-kilogram gray marmot. An exciting natural history that allows us to see these lively crowd-pleasers in a new light.

8. GeraMond Small railroad memories
Narrow Gauge Railways: There is hardly a railway enthusiast or local history lover whose face doesn't light up with a delighted smile at the mention of this term! A key figure in our current knowledge about narrow gauge railways in West Germany is Gerd Wolff. Born in 1935 in the Barmen district of Wuppertal, this railwayman and railway enthusiast has been researching German narrow gauge and private railways for more than six decades. This book now presents for the first time both his persona and the stories surrounding his visits to narrow gauge railways: What memories does he associate with visiting individual narrow gauge lines? Which narrow gauge railway did he explore first? Who accompanied him on his excursions? Which narrow gauge railways does he feel particularly drawn to? Where did he have rather negative experiences?.
9. Schmidt H. Die typografische Komposition
Typography and layout rely on proven craftsmanship and aesthetic foundations that provide you with guidance and support during the design process, as well as bring efficiency and effectiveness to your creative work. The typography and layout system forms the basis for your design. Martin Mosch guides you from the smallest element, the letter, through words and lines, columns and formats, to the larger whole, the principles of composition and layout.
In this practical workshop, you will recognize how detail decisions influence the impact of the overall composition, which visual strategies work in what ways, what to consider in the design process, and how to make your creative everyday life simpler and more successful. Based on visual habits and reading behavior, this book provides you with the tools for skillful handling of text and images – a foundation you can trust and build your peak performance in visual communication upon.
10. Motorbuch Airbus A380
The double-deck Airbus A380 is the largest passenger aircraft produced in series in the world. Developed as a competitor to the previously market-leading Boeing 747, the four-engine giant took to the skies for its maiden flight in 2005, impressing passengers and airlines with its performance. However, in the rapidly changing market, the A380 proved to be far too large and too expensive to operate. The COVID-19 crisis further exacerbated the situation. In 2021, Airbus therefore ceased production. The same goes for the Jumbo Jet. Thus, the era of the legendary four-engine aircraft in passenger service is clearly coming to an end. A highly relevant farewell.
