Germantown
Germantown is a unique community located 40 miles southeast of St. Louis, Missouri. It has a single Catholic church as its center and a rich German heritage. This is a pictorial history of the settlement that grew out of a desire for worship. The first German settlers came to Shoal Creek in 1833 and worshipped in a small house that contained neither benches nor chairs and had a split oak bench supported by four props that served as the communion rail. In 1837, the German homesteaders bought several tracts of land and reserved the ground in the center as church property. Preparations for the present stone building took two years, and it was completed in 1854. At that time, St. Boniface Catholic Church was the largest church in the state of Illinois. It is still referred to as the mother church of Clinton County.

Bringing the Arts into the Library
Using a library’s facilities to bring arts to the community is not only a valuable service, but also a wonderful marketing and outreach opportunity, a tangible way to show the public that libraries offer value, thus shoring up grassroots support. Editor Smallwood has combed the country finding examples of programs implemented by a variety of different types of libraries to enrich, educate, and entertain patrons through the arts. Her book shares such successful efforts as Poetry programs in the public library Gatherings for local authors at the community college Creative writing in middle schools Multicultural arts presentations at the university library Initiatives to fight illiteracy through the arts The amazing creativity and resourcefulness found in each example provide practical models which can be adapted to any library environment, inspiring librarians looking for unique programming ideas.

Bastard
Das explosive Duo Jason und Nico ist durch die Romane "Seilschaft" und "Mit Haut und Haar" wohl bekannt. Als die beiden aus beruflichen Gründen getrennt werden, kümmert sich Nico um die "Erziehung" von Silvio und Elias. Die beiden jungen Männer verehren Nico und sind begierig, von seinen Erfahrungen zu profitieren. Jason setzt alles daran, Nico zurück zu erobern. Er hat dabei seine eigenen, höchst provozierenden Methoden. (RoteReihe)
Quidam
Cyprian Norwids Quidam (1863), eine rare Perle polnischer Erzählkunst in Versen, sprachgewitzt und bildkräftig, erscheint hier erstmals in deutscher Übertragung. Ein fremder junger Dichter sucht die Wahrheit im Zentrum der Welt, Hadrians spätantikem Rom. Er erlebt das Scheitern von Freundschaft und Liebe, die Sinnleere griechischer Philosophie und die Brüchigkeit der religionsgefärbten Machtdemonstrationen des Kaisers. Angesichts des jüdischen Bar-Kochba-Aufstands (132–135) verfällt dieser in hysterischen Staatsterror. In dieser Atmosphäre wird der junge Dichter ermordet, bevor er mit dem im Volk bereits verbreiteten frühen Christentum in Kontakt kommt. Reizvoll ist der Kontrast der detailreichen Schilderungen spätantiker Lebenswelt und der subtilen Ausblicke auf die Brüche der Eisenbahn-Moderne des 19. Jahrhunderts, die die Probleme des seinerzeit von drei Gottesgnaden-Monarchen unterworfenen Polens thematisieren.
