Europa
Few worlds are as tantalizing and enigmatic as Europa, whose complex icy surface intimates the presence of an ocean below. Europa beckons for our understanding and future exploration, enticing us with the possibilities of a water-rich environment and the potential for life beyond Earth. This volume in the Space Science Series, with more than 80 contributing authors, reveals the discovery and current understanding of Europa’s icy shell, subsurface ocean, presumably active interior, and myriad inherent interactions within the Jupiter environment.

The Spheres of Europa
In 2087, a spacecraft is sent to Europa, the second of the four satellites of Jupiter first seen by Galileo, to look for life in the saltwater ocean underlying the icy surface of that frigid moon. It is not an easy journey, and the crew of eight seasoned astronauts face a number of difficulties on that long and dangerous voyage. The expedition is followed by all mankind with mixed feelings as it proceeds to attempt an answer to the age-old question: Are we alone? What the crew finds in that ocean is both surprising and shocking.

The Rape of Europa
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award The real story behind the major motion picture The Monuments Men. The cast of characters includes Hitler and Goering, Gertrude Stein and Marc Chagall--not to mention works by artists from Leonardo da Vinci to Pablo Picasso. And the story told in this superbly researched and suspenseful book is that of the Third Reich's war on European culture and the Allies' desperate effort to preserve it. From the Nazi purges of "Degenerate Art" and Goering's shopping sprees in occupied Paris to the perilous journey of the Mona Lisa from Paris and the painstaking reclamation of the priceless treasures of liberated Italy, The Rape of Europa is a sweeping narrative of greed, philistinism, and heroism that combines superlative scholarship with a compelling drama.
The Colombian Mule
When Colombian Arias Cuevas is caught trying to smuggle drugs through Venice airport, his fear isn't about prison. He's more frightened of his aunt - it was her coke he took off with. To avoid her wrath, he promptly confesses to the police. The cops set up a sting to find out who was to be the recipient, and art smuggler Nazzareno Corradi falls into the trap. But he's been set up. His lawyer hires the Alligator, and his fixer, Max, to find out what's going on. Soon it becomes apparent why Cuevas was so afraid - the aunt, La Tia, has left a bloody trail in her wake.
Once in Europa
From Booker Prize-winning author John Berger, a luminous collection of interwoven stories, Once in Europa is a portrait of two worlds—a small Alpine village bound to the earth and by tradition, and the restless, future-driven culture that will invade it—at their moment of collision. The instrument of entrapment is love: the passion of a willful shepherd for a shrewd bourgeois housewife; of a vital young woman for a dashing Russian who has come to work in the local factory; of a steadfast son for his aged mother. Lives are lost and hearts are broken, and, always, love is a transcending form of grace. In Once in Europa, it speaks as plainly and as movingly as a remembered language, creating a work of astonishing tenderness.
