Und das sind wir
Nachdem sie sich gewaschen hatten, holte Hans eine kleine Kiste und entnahm ihr eine Fotografie, auf der vier Soldaten abgebildet waren. „Das bin ich, im ersten Krieg vor fünfundzwanzig Jahren“ sagte Hans langsam und zeigte auf den verwundeten Soldaten und dann auf sich. João erkannte sich sofort und die Szene am Lagerzaun blitzte in seinem Gedächtnis auf. „Und das sind wir“ erwiderte João auf Deutsch, auf sich und Hans deutend. Hans ließ das Bild fallen, als hätte es sich in eine glühende Kohle verwandelt, und schaute João ungläubig an. Der Roman „Und das sind wir“ erzählt die Geschichte von João und Hans, ihrer Familien und ihrer Heimatländer Portugal und Deutschland über drei Generationen im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert. Vor dem Hintergrund tatsächlicher historischer Ereignisse und wenig bekannter Verstrickungen entfaltet Georg Franzky Cabral eine Familiensaga, die zugleich einen tiefen Einblick in die Befindlichkeiten der beiden Völker gewährt.
Sebastião
Im Sommer 1578 führte der junge portugiesische König Sebastião in Nordafrika seine Armee und sein ganzes Land ins Desaster. Hat er die Schlacht überlebt? Ist er im Wüstensand gestorben? Niemand weiß, was aus dem König geworden ist. Bis heute geistert er als Mythos und Symbol verzweifelter Hoffnung durch das Leben der Portugiesen. Denn eines Tages wird er ganz sicher wiederkommen und das Land aus der Misere führen, oder? Georg Franzky Cabral lässt Sebastião, dessen Geist seit jenem fatalen Sommertag vor knapp 450 Jahren ruhelos umherstreift, die Geschichte Portugals und der Portugiesen Revue passieren und lädt die Leser ein, ihn auf dieser Reise durch die Zeit bis in die Gegenwart zu begleiten.

All 1,900 species known to be threatened with extinction are covered, including a description of threats to each species and an evaluation of conservation measures in place or needed. Each entry includes a photograph or illustration of the species where available, a distribution map, and detailed information on range, population and habitat and ecology. Introductory chapters present a detailed analysis of the results, complemented by a series of short essays written by many of the world's leading herpetologists. Appendices include annoted lists of lower risk species and a country-by-country listing of threatened amphibians."--pub. desc.

From the Seeds of Sadness
It all began when the Geismans son, Mike, was born with numerous fractures, some of which had occurred in the womb before birth. The cause was osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder that, at the time, was thought to be so rare that the only information the delivering physician could provide was a brief description in a medical textbook. Wanting to share their story about living with this rare disorder, Gemma recounts Mikes life experiences, from his birth to his growing up years, describing with candid detail how caring for Mike was like handling an extremely fragile china doll. She illustrates the difficulties of the lonely, early years, the ambivalent and upsetting feelings and t...
