                                         current regime for nutrition.”

                          The eco footprint of our daily diet
                          How much CO₂ is emitted by one serving of spaghetti bolognese? About 1.5 kilograms!
                          This example shows what the meat industry and food logistics mean for the eco-balance
                          of our food. But is it enough to switch to meat-free and dairy-free alternatives or local
                          specialities? Dr. Malte Rubach takes a closer look and reviews our food regime and its
                          impact on our climate. We live in a society influenced by technology and the rising
                          consumption of resources. Rubach argues for a sensible attitude to food and shows what
                          we can still eat with a clear conscience.

                          Shooting fish and angling insects: amazing cultural feats in the
                          animal kingdom
                          From insects to fish as well as birds and primates: the use of tools is amazingly widespread
                          in the animal kingdom. It’s a misnomer to presume that humans are distinguished by tool
                          use and conscious capacity. So where is culture initiated? The biologist Peter-René Becker
                          has evaluated numerous studies and cites plenty of evidence for the use of the hammer and
                          anvil, lances, bait or sponges. Animals also use “tools as social implements”. Ultimately, the
                          depth of man’s conscience singles him out from other animals.

                                                                                 The biologist and ethnologist Peter-René

                                 The adventures of Odysseus are not just a classic literary epic but also shine a light on
                                 intriguing questions for geography, archaeology and biology. Phenomena like the Cyclops
                                 and magic potions were only understood in recent decades thanks to phytochemical and
                                 pharmacological research that enabled new insights into the effect of plant substances on
                                 the mind and body. Monika Niehaus and Michael Wink embark on an enjoyable excursion
                                 in their book on a scientific foray for knowledge – from ancient myths to medieval drug
                                 excesses and the world of comics.

                                        Unser Gehirn ist ein höchst komplexes und fragiles System. In der Regel
                                        funktioniert es recht gut, doch bei manchen Menschen kann es aus dem

                                        in einigen Fällen sind sie angeboren, in anderen durch Umweltfaktoren
                                        bedingt. Gemeinsam ist allen, dass sich das Verhalten der Betroffenen
                                        dramatisch von dem ihrer Mitmenschen unterscheidet. Alltägliche Gefühle
                                        und Wünsche, wie wir alle sie kennen, können zum Wahn und damit
                                        pathologisch werden. Wie das gesunde Gehirn ist auch das wahnhafte ein

                                        Syndrome, die selten und weitgehend unbekannt sind, werden in diesem

                                         again in a new guise.”

                          The new hostility against Jews
                          The increasing hostility that Jews experience can no longer be explained away with fine
                          rhetoric. Antisemitism is taking hold in a menacing way at the heart of society. Sigmund
                          Gottlieb addresses his wake-up call to the population at large: stand up – not only against
                          right-wing extremist violence and radical Islamism, but also against hatred in the social
                          media, against unfair criticism of the state of Israel, against anti-Jewish abusive language
                          in the school playground, against trivializing reports in the media and day-to-day
                          indifference. The resurgent talk of ‘packed suitcases’ in Jewish communities is a moral
                          indictment. And it is intolerable.

                                                                                        The journalist Sigmund Gottlieb was born

                           The new world of food from aquaculture to superfood
                           This book is not a manual but provides an information kit so we can find our way
                           intelligently and make decisions. Nutrition is a constant talking point, but often there
                           is a lack of knowledge and judgement. Amidst this confusion of facts, Manfred Kriener
                           clarifies the rapid change of our food culture. He covers the entire range from the vegan
                           trend to insect food, from aquaculture to cultured meat. Kriener also focuses on the
                           various obscure quality seals, chaotic labelling on the wine rack and our inconsistency as
                           consumers. The new world of food in eleven chapters, spicy at times, but plenty of food
                           for thought and to whet the appetite.

                                                                                        Manfred Kriener is a German journalist and

                           The boom for alternative therapies
                           The market is growing for homeopathic remedies, diets and all kinds of miracle cures.
                           Although homeopathic practitioners in Germany are largely unregulated, their supporters
                           are growing in number. An industry has sprung up around alternative medicine that draws
                           on the mistrust towards the pharmaceutical industry, medicine and the media. Many
                           products are as harmless as they are ineffective – but some are dangerous or even lethal.
                           Beate Frenkel investigates: where is the source of this boom? What role do conspiracy
                           theories play as well as the influence of the internet? Why do politicians and the German
                           Medical Association take so few preventive steps? Powerful examples are backed up with
                           statements from doctors, patients and alternative medicine practitioners.

                                                                                Beate Frenkel graduated in politics, history

                           The cultural history of our food and the origins of taste
                           This book follows a unique path in the ubiquitous food debate: it leads us on the trail of
                           the origins of our food culture, from the Neolithic period to the present day. Thomas A.
                           Vilgis has compiled a guide that combines scientific with cultural or sociological aspects.
                           How did Stone Age man poach food? Which cereal varieties were cultivated first? What is
                           the mysterious umami flavour all about? The cultural historical excursion gets interactive
                           with plenty of recipes for those curious to test Kimchi with birch leaves or red cabbage in
                           their dessert.

     The immense merits of pharmaceutical research
     for modern medicine
     Antibiotics, insulin, cortisone: countless medicines, which are now lifesavers, were still undiscovered in
     1900. Since then, there have been impressive advances in pharmaceutical research. This book is dedicated
     to all those whom we have to thank for this. While today research is conducted by university teams and
     working groups in industry, during the early decades of the 20th century it was primarily individual
     researchers whose ingenuity led to the development of new agents. An introduction to these ‘lighthouses’
     in the fields of chemistry, biology, pharmacy and medicine, and to their successes.
