Tortillas, Tapas und Toxine
»Die Ordnung, die wir hüten, Don Ortwin, ist sehr brüchig. Meist sind wir froh, wenn die Leute sich nicht den Schädel einschlagen.« Stierkampf, Sangria und Sandstrand - Spanien ist Sehnsuchtsland und Urlaubsziel. Aber auch unter der heißen Sonne der iberischen Halbinsel ist es nicht sicher. Zwischen Murcia und Santander, Barcelona und Santiago und selbst auf den Kanaren werden üble Pläne geschmiedet und unliebsame Zeitgenossen beseitigt. Gut, dass die landestypischen Rezepte die zittrigen Nerven beruhigen können. Nach dem großen Erfolg von »Muscheln, Mousse und Messer« und »Porridge, Pies and Pistols« folgt nun die dritte kulinarische Kurzkrimisammlung unter der Federführung der Herausgeberin Ingrid Schmitz. Erneut hat sie 16 namhafte AutorInnen und Newcomer um einen Krimi mit Rezept gebeten, diesmal rund um das schöne Spanien und seine lukullischen Genüsse.
Schlaglichter Kanarische Inseln
Nach dem, was die Historiker wissen, sind die Kanarischen Inseln nicht das sagenhafte Atlantis, doch sagenhaft sind sie allemal, auf alle Fälle viel, viel mehr als Strand, Sonne und Disko. Die Idee der Schlaglichter ist es, dem Leser ein Büchlein an die Hand zu geben, das alle Topp-Highlights und viele nicht so bekannte Attraktionen beschreibt. Es enthält für jede Insel mehr spannende Orte als der Reisende in einem normalen Urlaub besuchen kann. Dazu gibt es Hotel- und Restaurant-Tipps, Rezensionen von Büchern, die auf den Inseln spielen, und unterhaltsame Hintergrundinfos aus Geschichte, Kultur und dem Kuriositätenkabinett. Die Schlaglichter erheben überhaupt keinen Anspruch auf Voll...

Death Rites
Petra Delicado, a Barcelona police inspector assigned to a desk job, returns to the homicide department to investigate the rapes of young girls by a serial rapist who only leaves a circular mark on his victims' forearms.
C++ Programming
This book emphasizes the techniques you will need to communicate instructions to machines. It teaches you how to write computer programs and the entire process of C++ programming. I have always believed that a detailed programming book with lots of programming will help students in developing basics. Developing a program is a detailed process, which requires careful planning and accuracy. I have tried to keep the explanations simple, short and easy to understand. This book provides a very clear and easy representation of C++ programming.
Dog Day
"A mongrel dog named Freaky, the corpse of a man with a seemingly endless list of aliases, and a handful of tips from an anonymous woman caller. With these elements hard-nosed Inspector Petra Delicado and her sentimental sidekick, Fermin Garzon, begin an investigation into big-money dog smuggling. Their best leads come from the most unlikely sources: a ruggedly handsome vet; a blond bombshell who trains guard dogs; an eccentric university professor; and a haughty dog groomer. At times, these two world-wise detectives are at a loss, but Delicado and Garzon are not the sort of cops that rely on hunches. They methodically pursue their investigation, drawing the reader into a complex and sordid story in which passions and profits turn men into beasts and animals into victims. Dog Day is set in a Barcelona that few visitors to the city will ever see, a Barcelona that lurks beneath the surface of one of Europe's most dazzling cities. A broken heart, a new monstrosity, and another dead body accompany every step through this demimonde."--BOOK JACKET.
Mother Pious Lady
A new India is visibly emerging from within the folds of its many pasts. This new India needs to be seen with new eyes, free from the baggage of yesterdays characterizations. This is exactly what Santosh Desai, one of Indias best-known social commentators, does in this warm, affectionate and deliciously witty look at the changing urban Indian middle class. Writing as an insider, from personal experience, Desai cuts through the chaos and confusion of everyday India both yesterday and today, and suddenly, makes us see things clearly. Holding a mirror to our inner selves, Desai makes us see what drives us, what makes us tick, what makes our hearts beat, and how our mindsets and attitudes are changing, even as the past never quite leaves us. And Desai does so in short masterful essays, written with great humour and sensitivity. A big book about small things that truly matter.
Beyond Leviathan
A field-defining masterwork, this posthumous publication maps the evolution of the idea of the state from ancient Greece to today István Mészáros was one of the greatest political theorists of the twentieth century. Left unfinished at the time of his death, Beyond Leviathan is written on the magisterial scale of his previous book, Beyond Capital, and meant to complement that work. It focuses on the transcendence of the state, along with the transcendence of capital and alienated labor, while traversing the history of political theory from Plato to the present. Aristotle, More, Machiavelli, and Vico are only a few of the thinkers discussed in depth. The larger objective of this work is no less than to develop a full-edged critique of the state, in the Marxian tradition, and set against the critique of capital. Not only does it provide, for the first time, an all-embracing Marxian theory of the state, it gives new political meaning to the notion of “the withering away of the state.” In his definitive, seminal work, Mészáros seeks to illuminate the political preconditions for a society of substantive equality and substantive democracy.
