Planet Sheep
Sheep are perhaps the most underrated animals in the world. The unassuming ruminants have provided humans with food and clothing for ten thousand years. They have spurred the growth of entire societies and helped empires to rise. Could it be that these seemingly simple creatures have changed the course of world history? That without them, we would be living very different lives? What we can say for sure is that there are around one billion sheep on earth – in service of humans. To this day in many regions, they safeguard livelihoods and serve as an economic engine. Without these patient and undemanding animals, who knows how far we would have come? ‘Planet Sheep’ undertakes a journey into history, presence and future of the companionship of people and sheep.
Schwarze Küken
Eine einsame Vogelschutzinsel wird zum Schauplatz eines Mordes, Vogelwart Brunke Behrens unschuldig zum Verdächtigen. Er beginnt eigene Ermittlungen, um Kommissar Martin Beckmann seine Unschuld zu beweisen. Der fahndet nach einem Vermissten, der in Wirklichkeit längst tot ist. Die ominöse OPA, die Ostfriesische Patrioten Armee, treibt in den Dörfern ihr Unwesen, ein halbseidener Windanlagenbetreiber verteilt Schmiergelder und glaubt, im Wattenmeer werden seine Windräder gebaut. Doch so einfach ist es nicht...
Friesisch Roulette
Johann Renken schätzt nichts mehr als seine Ruhe und ein kühles Bier, aber plötzlich findet er eine Leiche in seiner Scheune. Er gerät tief hinein in den Schlamassel der unheimlichen Geschehnisse im bis dahin so beschaulichen Dorf Merschmoor. Erst die Leiche, dann ein einsames Auto, ein geplünderter Laden und eine Waffe, die ihm zugeschrieben wird: Nicht zuletzt Johanns Vergangenheit zwingt ihn, die für ein ostfriesisches Dorf ungewöhliche Häufung fremder Leichen aufzuklären, bevor dies der Polizei gelingt – denn durch eine Verkettung unglücklicher Umstände gerät Bauer Johann ins Visier von Kommissar Beckmann. Für den Ermittler, strafversetzt in die ostfriesische Ödnis, werden die Nachforschungen zur Nervenprobe. Nicht vertraut mit den lokalen Gepflogenheiten, beißt er sich die Zähne an den unverbindlichen Friesen aus. Eine Wand aus Schweigen wird für ihn zum schier unüberwindlichen Hindernis – und für Johann womöglich zur Rettung.
Planet der Schafe
Schafe sind die wohl am meisten unterschätzten Tiere der Welt. Ohne sie wäre die Menschheit nicht, wo sie heute steht. Nahrung, Kleidung – all das liefern die anspruchslosen Wiederkäuer dem Menschen seit zehntausend Jahren. Die Tiere haben Gesellschaften wachsen lassen, sie sind Kulturbereiter des Menschen und bis heute in vielen Teilen der Welt Lebensgarant und Wirtschaftsmotor. Das Buch begibt sich auf eine Spurensuche bei Schäfern und Züchtern in aller Welt. Es erzählt von Geschichte, Gegenwart und Zukunft der wolligen Wiederkäuer.
I Prefer Girls
I Prefer Girls makes its triumphant return! One of the true classics of the golden age of lesbian pulp fiction is back, complete with its captivating Robert Maguire cover and a window in on Greenwich Village, circa 1963. Long out of print, I Prefer Girls has been a favorite of collectors for years and is now available in this new edition from Blackbird Books.
Young and Innocent
New York, 1960... Take one lesbian editor, well-done, add one sexually curious intern, and one all-man co-editor. Mix thoroughly at a posh Park Avenue women's magazine, and you have another Donald Westlake classic. Cast in the mold of Mad Men with Madison Avenue advertising swapped out for New York's "smart publishing set," this new edition from Blackbird Books sports its original Robert Maguire cover and will take you back to that arousing time and place.
Man Hungry
Donald Westlake's nearly forgotten pulp sleaze classic, Man Hungry, is actually one of his first published novels, a 1959 literary take on the genre, complete with lesbians, prostitutes, a swinging college campus, and a washed-up writer-turned-writing professor who's been unable to reprise the success of his bestselling first novel. And, oh yeah, a certain salacious young college junior who's hungry for more than just an education. Apart from its steamy content, Man Hungry is actually a fine novel and a fascinating glimpse into the development of one of our most prolific and talented writers. It's all there-hints of his dark style, flawed and wanton characters, and the old familiar haunts, including the first appearance of the fictional Monequois College in the equally made-up town of Monequois, New York, which subsequently appears in at least a half dozen Westlake novels under at least four of his pen names. If you're a Westlake fan, a fan of the genre, or just looking for a great vintage read, this new edition of Man Hungry from Blackbird Books will satisfy your appetite!
Shabby Street
A tough and lusty novel that moves with the white-heat of a lighting bolt! Johnny Reagan quickly learned the slum’s depraved rules for survival. At six, he was a petty thief. At twelve, he was a procurer. At twenty-one, he was a respectable, loveable, 18-carat heel who never missed a trick—especially if she promised an evening’s cheap thrills. Then rich Mr. Connors befriended Johnny, and Johnny knew there was big money to be made—if he pulled the right strings, told the right lies, and played around with the right women. But Johnny played with Julie...Julie who had been brought up in the same slum that had spawned Johnny—and who knew all the cute gutter tricks Johnny thought were his exclusive property … plus a few female tricks all her own.
