The war for survival of the planet Lusitania will be fought in the hearts of a child named Gloriously Lusitania, Ender found a world where humans and pequininos and the Hive Queen could all live together; where three very different intelligent species could find common ground at last. Or so he also harbors the descolada, a virus that kills all humans it infects, but which the pequininos require in order to become adults. The Startways Congress so fears the effects of the descolada, should it escape from Lusitania, that they have ordered eh destruction of the entire planet, and all who live there. The Fleet is on its way, a second xenocide seems inevitble.

After the considerable success of The Xenophobe`s Guides series, which uncovers the quirks and curiosities of other nations for xenophobes (people who fear foreigners) a series of phrase books is now being launched for the `xenolinguist` - people who are afraid of speaking a foreign tongue. When visitors are traveling abroad, they have to expect to meet foreigners. Most of these foreigners will not speak English. The Xenophobe`s Phrase Books series aims to help users overcome this setback and cope with the unexpected difficulties that may arise should they need to communicate with the natives.
If less is more, then smaller is better. if architecture could be reduced to a simple equation, then this one would sum up the thesis of this book. The new houses presented here, all no larger than 100 qm (1000 sf), show that limited space and budget generate especially creative living solutions. By exploring new directions, such as sustainable, green building methods and prefabricated construction technology, these houses show that there really is an alternative to the dreary suburban homes which dominate real estate markets worldwide.
The Japanese artist Yasumasa Morimura is a controversial figure in the world of contemporary art. His photographs present an original re-elaboration of themes central to visual culture by showing the artist himself in the role of artistic subjects and historical figures. Morimura reinterprets in particular the works of famous painters, from Velazquez to Goya, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt van Rijn and Frida Kahlo. Ideas central to his photography, such as the difference between "to see" and "to be seen", and the ambiguity of gender in contemporary society - stressed by the artist`s preference for the female body, - stimulate thought on political and religious issues. Popular culture is another of Morimura`s interests, as shown in his...
Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama has pursued her principal themes of infinity, self-image, sexuality and compulsive repetition since she took the New York art world by storm in the late 1950s with her Infinity Nets – heroically-scaled paintings covered in endlessly repeating net-like patterns, which won the admiration of artists ranging from Barnett Newman to Donald Judd. In Kusama’s installations and sculptures she compulsively covers every surface, either in polka dots (Infinity Mirror Room, 1965); mirrors (Endless Love Show, 1966); or phallus-like protrusions (Violet Obsession, 1994, a vivid purple boat lined with stuffed forms). This is the first monograph on the forty-year career of this distinguished, highly innovative artist, who...

Paul West, a young Englishman, arrives in Paris to start a new job - and finds out what the French are really like. They do eat a lot of cheese, some of which smells like pigs` droppings. They don`t wash their armpits with garlic soap. Going on strike really is the second national participation sport after pétanque. And, yes, they do use his first novel, Stephen Clarke gives a laugh-out-loud account of the pleasures and perils of being a Brit in France. Less quaint than A Year in Provence, less chocolatey than Chocolat, A Year in the Merde will tell you how to get served by the grumpiest Parisian waiter; how to make perfect vinaigrette every time; how to make amour - not war; and how not to buy a house in the French countryside.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of `March` and `People of the Book`. A young woman`s struggle to save her family and her soul during the extraordinary year of 1666, when plague suddenly struck a small Derbyshire village. In 1666, plague swept through London, driving the King and his court to Oxford, and Samuel Pepys to Greenwich, in an attempt to escape contagion. The north of England remained untouched until, in a small community of leadminers and hill farmers, a bolt of cloth arrived from the capital. The tailor who cut the cloth had no way of knowing that the damp fabric carried with it bubonic infection. So begins the Year of Wonders, in which a Pennine village of 350 souls confronts a scourge beyond remedy or understanding....
