    Content: "Rache ist in Afghanistan ein Topf, der nie abkühlt" weiß Ali und lebt doch mit seiner jungen Frau Zakia wieder im Elternhaus. Zermürbt und schicksalsergeben nach langer Odyssee, auch wenn beide dort trotz Mauern und Wachhund kaum sicher wären, sollte Zakias zum Ehrenmord entschlossene Familie zurückkehren. Kulturellen, ethnischen und religiösen Hindernissen zum Trotz heirateten sie heimlich, flohen und wurden zu Idolen junger Afghanen, durch kurzzeitige Medienaufmerksamkeit im eigenen Land sowie die kontinuierliche Berichterstattung des Autors in der "New York Times". Daraus erwuchsen Geldspenden - Überlebensmittel in einer korrupten Gesellschaft. Selbst Analphabeten, ohne Internetkenntnis und nur eingeschränkt mit der Handynutzung vertraut, bemerkte das "junge und oft töricht agierende Liebespaar" aber wenig von seiner Bekanntheit. Nordland dokumentiert beider Geschichte, schildert beispielreich, sachlich und eindringlich afghanische Mentalität, kulturelle Normen und soziale Ordnung, die das Land zum "schlimmsten und gefährlichsten Ort der Welt für Frauen" machen (Hörbuch-Rezension: ID-A 25/16).

    Note: In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father--a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man--has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey, first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother's family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father's life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance. - Orig. publ.: New York : Times Books, c1995

    Content: US-Professor Strogatz hat für die "New York Times" eine Kolumne über Mathematik geschrieben, die nun - ergänzt und vermehrt - als Buch vorliegt. Der deutsche Verlag mochte sich die Anspielung auf "The Joy of Sex" nicht entgehen lassen und behielt den Originaltitel bei. Dem Verfasser gelingt es, seine profunden Kenntnisse auch unkundigen Lesern so zu vermitteln, dass sie Zusammenhänge mathematischer Formeln verstehen und begreifen, worum es z.B. in der Differenzial- und Integralrechnung eigentlich geht und wo sie in der Praxis benutzt wird. Das wird aber erst in späteren Kapiteln erläutert. Vorher geht es etwa um die geometrisch-bildhaft gezeigte Lösung einer quadratischen Gleichung, um Logarithmen, Exponentialfunktionen, Primzahlen und vieles andere. Strogatz fordert wenig vom Leser, nur gelegentlich hält er ein Ergebnis zurück, ermuntert ihn, selbst nachzudenken und weist auf den umfangreichen Anmerkungsteil hin, der dann weitere Hinweise und auch Quellenangaben enthält. Viele gut gewählte Zeichnungen sind ebenfalls hilfreich. - Ein angenehmer und erfreulicher Rundgang durch die Mathematik. (2 S)
    Content: Dem Leser werden in 30 kurzen Kapiteln Zusammenhänge mathematischer Formeln erläutert. Er erkennt, was es mit Pi, e oder i auf sich hat und worum es bei Themen wie Gruppentheorie oder Integralrechnung eigentlich geht und wo sie in der Praxis eingesetzt werden.

    Content: "A sharp-eyed, uniquely humane tour of America's cultural landscape--from high to low to lower than low--by the award-winning young star of the literary nonfiction world In Pulphead, John Jeremiah Sullivan takes us on an exhilarating tour of our popular, unpopular, and at times completely forgotten culture. Simultaneously channeling the gonzo energy of Hunter S. Thompson and the wit and insight of Joan Didion, Sullivan shows us--with a laidback, erudite Southern charm that's all his own--how we really (no, really) live now. In his native Kentucky, Sullivan introduces us to Constantine Rafinesque, a nineteenth-century polymath genius who concocted a dense, fantastical prehistory of the New World. Back in modern times, Sullivan takes us to the Ozarks for a Christian rock festival; to Florida to meet the alumni and straggling refugees of MTV's Real World, who've generated their own self-perpetuating economy of minor celebrity; and all across the South on the trail of the blues. He takes us to Indiana to investigate the formative years of Michael Jackson and Axl Rose and then to the Gulf Coast in the wake of Katrina--and back again as its residents confront the BP oil spill. Gradually, a unifying narrative emerges, a story about this country that we've never heard told this way. It's like a fun-house hall-of-mirrors tour: Sullivan shows us who we are in ways we've never imagined to be true. Of course we don't know whether to laugh or cry when faced with this reflection--it's our inevitable sob-guffaws that attest to the power of Sullivan's work"--
