Although published under the name of Jules Verne, “In the Year 2889” is now believed to be chiefly, if not entirely, the work of Jules' son, Michel Verne. In any event, many of the topics in the story echo Verne's ideas. A rather humorous look at the future.

An einem Bonner Gymnasium quält sich die hochintelligente Ada durch den öden Schulalltag. Die US-Truppen stürmen den Irak, doch es herrscht business as usual: Der Lehrkörper müht sich, das Weltbild aus Gut und Böse ein weiteres Mal zusammenzuflicken. Für Ada und ihren Mitschüler Alev nur eine weitere Runde in einem erbärmlichen und langweiligen Spiel. Sie beginnen ein anderes - und verstricken den Lehrer Smutek in eine ausweglose Erpressung. In ihrem Spiel soll es keine Gewinner und keine Gnade geben. Juli Zehs hochgelobter Roman über das Verschwinden der Moral liegt nun endlich auch als Hörbuch vor, gelesen von Sascha Icks.

Ein Kind verschwindet und weiß nichts davon. Ein Arzt wird getötet, zwei Physiker streiten und ein Kommissar mit tödlichem Kopfweh glaubt nicht an das Prinzip Zufall. Juli Zeh, eine der aufregendsten Autorinnen ihrer Generation, entwirft in ihrem dritten Roman das Szenario eines Mordes, wie wir es uns bisher nicht vorstellen konnten. Virtuos, rasant und scharfsinnig treibt sie ihre Geschichte bis zum grotesken Finale und erklärt ganz nebenbei das physikalische Phänomen der Zeit.

The year is 1866 and the Pacific Ocean is being terrorized by a deadly sea monster. The US government dispatches marine life expert Professor Aronnax on an extended voyage to investigate this new threat. He discovers not a monster, but a marvelous submarine vessel piloted by a deadly captain with a secret agenda. Heralded as the father of modern science fiction, Jules Verne demonstrates his powers of predictive intuition in this classic underwater adventure.

Written in a brilliantly engaging style by biologist Jules Howard, this fascinating and highly engaging work covers the how and why of sex on Earth, in all its diversity. From sperm wars to cuckoldry, hermaphrodites and virgin births, spent males, racy harems, clitoral births, hips, breasts and birdsong, penis-percussion, and those riskiest and most elusive of all traits, monogamy and true love, all this and more is discussed in Sex on Earth, as Jules takes us on a voyage of discovery of the ins and outs of animal reproduction.

In Past Time, Tygiel gives us a seat behind home plate, where we catch the ongoing interplay of baseball and American society. We begin in New York in the 1850s, where pre-Civil War nationalism shaped the emergence of a "national pastime." We witness the true birth of modern baseball with the development of its elaborate statistics - the brainchild of English-born reformer, Henry Chadwick. Chadwick, Tygiel writes, created the sport's "historical essence" and even imparted a moral dimension to the game with his concepts of "errors" and "unearned" runs.

In this gripping account of one of the most important steps in the history of American desegregation, Jules Tygiel tells the story of Jackie Robinson's crossing of baseball's color line. Examining the social and historical context of Robinson's introduction into white organized baseball, both on and off the field, Tygiel also tells the often neglected stories of other African-American players - such as Satchel Paige, Roy Campanella, Willie Mays, and Hank Aaron - who helped transform our national pastime into an integrated game.

As you read these words, planet Earth teems with trillions of life-forms, all going about their own business: eating, reproducing, thriving.... Yet the life of almost every single organism draws nearer to certain death. On the other hand, "suicide" inside the mitochondria that live within us results in the death of millions of cells each second for our own good! Why is death such a universal companion to life on Earth? Why haven't animals evolved to break free of its shackles?

Who killed Eric Davenport? A senior mathematics professor at Underhill College has been found dead in his office, the victim of murder. At Underhill, a small liberal arts college with a pricy tuition and a pampered student body, all of the students are close to their professors. But at least one loved Eric Davenport in a deeply inappropriate fashion. Some hated him. And then there is the faculty at war with itself. And the idiotic administration. And the twin boys who live next to campus. And what’s with all those praying mantises?

I Probably Shouldn't Have Done That chronicles the series of vast, at times incomprehensible, mistakes that Jules makes in an attempt to get over her first "serious" boyfriend. It follows her through drunken nights, drunker nights, bad dates, worse dates, encounters with her ex, and a very few glistening moments of hope and self-realization. It is a thoroughly sad break-up story, an occasionally naive love story, and a comical train wreck throughout.

Was für ein Auftritt! Bei der Sitzung des US-Luftschiffer-Clubs im Weldon-Institut in Philadelphia behauptet Erfinder Robur, dass die Ballone langsam und unlenkbar seien und die Zukunft allein Fluggeräten aus Metall gehöre...

Robur the Conqueror is a science fiction novel by Jules Verne. The story begins with strange lights and sounds, including blaring trumpet music, reported in the skies all over the world. The events are capped by the mysterious appearance of black flags with gold suns atop tall historic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty in New York, the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Cette nouvelle est issue du recueil "Les diaboliques" dont Barbey disait : "Les diaboliques ne sont pas des diableries, ce sont des diaboliques : des histoires réelles de ce temps civilisé et si divin que, quand on s'avise de les écrire, il semble que ce soit le diable qui ait dicté...". Ici, une femme de la haute aristocratie se sacrifie pour venger de façon spectaculaire le massacre de son amant.
