Uniform Title: The Love Hypothesis

Content: Die Unvernunft der LiebeŃBiologie-Doktorandin Olive glaubt an Wissenschaft - nicht an etwas Unkontrollierbares wie die Liebe. Dank ihrer Freundin Anh sieht sie sich plötzlich gezwungen, eine Beziehung vorzutäuschen, und küsst in ihrer Not den erstbesten Mann, der ihr über den Weg läuft. Nicht nur, dass dieser Kuss eine Kette irrationaler Gefühle auslöst - der Geküsste entpuppt sich zudem als Adam Carlsen: größter Labortyrann von ganz Stanford. Schon bald droht nicht nur Olives wissenschaftliche Karriere über dem Bunsenbrenner geröstet zu werden, auch ihre Verwicklung mit Carlsen fühlt sich mehr nach oxidativer Reaktion als romantischer Reduktion an, und Olive muss dringend ihre Gefühle einer Analyse unterziehen ...Ń"Ein echtes Einhorn in der Welt der Liebesgeschichten - die unmöglich scheinende Verbindung von zutiefst schlau und herrlich eskapistisch."

Uniform Title: The wise man's fear

Content: Eine Intrige zwingt Kvothe, die arkanische Universität zu verlassen. Seine Suche nach den sagenumwobenen Chandrian, die seine Eltern getötet haben, führt ihn an den Hof von Maer Alveron, und weiter zu den sturmumwogten Hügeln von Ademre. Schließlich gelangt er in das zwielichtige Reich der Fae, wo er der sagenumwobenen Felurian begegnet, der bisher noch kein Mann widerstehen konnte ... Eine Geschichte voller Poesie und Musik, voller Leidenschaft, aber auch voller Intrigen, dunkler Geheimnisse und Magie. Dieser zweite Band von "Der Name des Windes" steckt wieder voller neuer Geschichten und Ideen von Patrick Rothfuss. Der Band ist daher so umfangreich geworden, dass man ihn teilen musste in zwei Bände - "Die Furcht des Weisen 1" und "Die Furcht des Weisen 2". Mit "Die Furcht des Weisen" legt Patrick Rothfuss den zweiten Teil der Königsmörder-Chronik-Trilogie vor, der in den USA bei Kritikern und Fantasylesern begeistert aufgenommen wurde und schon bald einen der vorderen Plätze in der New York Times Bestsellerliste belegte.

Content: Nach Legend taucht Bestsellerautorin Marie Lu mit ihrer neuen historischen Fantasy-Reihe Young Elites in eine Welt voller Magie ein und zeigt eine Heldin, die zwischen Liebe und Dunkelheit gefangen ist.Über Nacht verfärbten sich Adelinas wunderschöne schwarze Haare plötzlich silbern. Seit sie das mysteriöse Blutfieber überlebte, ist die Tochter eines reichen Kaufmanns gezeichnet und von der Gesellschaft verstoßen. Aber die Krankheit hat ihr nicht nur eine strahlende Zukunft genommen, sondern auch übernatürliche Kräfte verliehen. Und Adelina ist nicht die Einzige. Die Gemeinschaft der Dolche wird vom König gejagt und gefürchtet, denn mit ihren unerklärlichen Fähigkeiten sind sie imstande, ihn vom Thron zu stürzen. Doch dazu benötigen sie Adelinas Hilfe ...X-Men meets Die rote Königin: Eingebettet in eine märchenhafte Welt, die an das Venedig der Renaissance erinnert, erzählt Spiegel-Bestsellerautorin Marie Lu die Geschichte von Adelina, einer sehr komplexen Heldin, die zunehmend von der rachgierigen Dunkelheit, die sie in sich trägt, übermannt wird. Ob ihre Liebe zu Prinz Enzo sie retten kann? Nach dem New York Times-Bestseller Legend der grandiose Auftakt zu einer neuen originellen und actionreichen Fantasy-Trilogie der Autorin."Die Gemeinschaft der Dolche" ist der erste Band der Young Elites-Trilogie.Mehr Infos und Extras zu Young Elites unter:www.young-elites.com

Series Statement: MARGINS theoretical and experimental earth science series

Content: Traditionally, investigations of the rheology and deformation of the lithosphere (the rigid or mechanically strong outer layer of the Earth, which contains the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle) have taken place at one scale in the laboratory and at an entirely different scale in the field. Laboratory experiments are generally restricted to centimeter-sized samples and day- or year-length times, while geological processes occur over tens to hundreds of kilometers and millions of years. The application of laboratory results to geological systems necessitates extensive extrapolation in both temporal and spatial scales, as well as a detailed understanding of the dominant physical mechanisms. The development of an understanding of large-scale processes requires an integrated approach.

Content: In the first edition of this book I tried to survey in brief compass the main ideas, methods, and discoveries of rational thermodynamics as it then stood, only five years after Messrs. COLEMAN & NOLL, while in Baltimore, had written the fundamental memoir that provided for the new science the one root theretofore wanting. A survey in the same style today would require an almost wholly new book, three or four times as long. As it was in 1968, again in 1983 a consecutive treatise restricted to the foundations would be premature, for at this moment they are under earnest discussion, probing analysis, and powerful attack by several students and from several directions. Because, although in the first edition I expressed some opinions I no longer hold and made some statements I should now recast or even re­ tract, it seems even yet to offer a simple introduction to some aspects of the field that remain current, I have chosen to reprint it unaltered except for emendation of slips and bettering of the English here and there.
