100 Texte, knapp 70 Autorinnen und Autoren, darunter über 20 deutschsprachige Poetry- Slam-Champions – eine Sprache. Sie steht im Zentrum dieser Anthologie – das Handwerkszeug aller Poetinnen und Poeten, das in vielen Texten gespiegelt, betrachtet, lustvoll hinterfragt oder spielerisch erweitert wird. Bei allem Unterhaltungsfaktor bietet die Poetry- Slam-Fibel eine Bühne für die Sprache zwischen Sinnhaftigkeit, Rhythmus und Musikalität: Sprache als lyrisches Präzisionswerkzeug, als abschreckendes Beispiel, als klangvolle Schallwelle, als sterbenskranker Patient, als Lustobjekt, als Rhythmusmaschine, als Crash- Test-Dummy. Sprache als Spielzeug und Sprache als Waffe. Seit über fünf Jahren ist dieses Standardwerk sowohl beliebtes Slam-Lesebuch als auch Hilfsmittel in Workshops und Deutschunterricht. Die Herausgeber gehören zu den Mitbegründern der deutschsprachigen Poetry-Slam-Bewegung. Ihre Poetry-Slam-Fibel ist eine Rückbesinnung auf den Poetry Slam als Forum und Werkstatt der Worte und ein Plädoyer für die spielerische und kritische Auseinandersetzung mit Sprache
THE FIRST CHILLING NOVEL IN THE ACCLAIMED ROBERT HUNTER SERIES When the body of a young woman is discovered in a derelict cottage in Los Angeles, Robert Hunter is thrown into a nightmare case. The victim suffered a terrible death, and on the nape of her neck has been carved a strange double-cross: the signature of a psychopath known as the Crucifix Killer. But that's impossible. Because two years ago, the Crucifix Killer was caught and executed. Could this therefore be a copycat killer? Or could the unthinkable be true? Is the real killer still out there, ready to embark once again on a vicious and violent killing spree, selecting his victims seemingly at random, taunting Robert Hunter with his inability to catch him? Hunter and his rookie partner, Garcia, need to solve this case and fast. PRAISE FOR CHRIS CARTER 'Gripping . . . Not for the squeamish' Heat 'A page turner' Express

Walter Harper, Alaska Native Son illuminates the life of the remarkable Irish-Athabascan man who was the first person to summit Mount Denali, North America's tallest mountain. Born in 1893, Walter Harper was the youngest child of Jenny Albert and the legendary gold prospector Arthur Harper. His parents separated shortly after his birth, and his mother raised Walter in the Athabascan tradition, speaking her Koyukon-Athabascan language. When Walter was seventeen years old, Episcopal archdeacon Hudson Stuck hired the skilled and charismatic youth as his riverboat pilot and winter trail guide. During the following years, as the two traveled among Interior Alaska's Episcopal missions, they develo...
In 1958, Edward Teller, father of the H-bomb, unveiled his plan to detonate six nuclear bombs off the Alaskan coast to create a new harbor. However, the plan was blocked by a handful of Eskimos and biologists who succeeded in preventing massive nuclear devastation potentially far greater than that of the Chernobyl blast. The Firecracker Boys is a story of the U.S. government's arrogance and deception, and the brave people who fought against it-launching America's environmental movement. As one of Alaska's most prominent authors, Dan O'Neill brings to these pages his love of Alaska's landscape, his skill as a nature and science writer, and his determination to expose one of the most shocking chapters of the Nuclear Age.

Suppose you were designing a marine mammal. What would you need to think about to allow it to live in the ocean? How would you keep it warm? What would you design to allow it to dive for very long periods to extreme depths? Where would it find water to drink? How would you minimize the cost of swimming, and how would it find its prey in the deep an
