Richard Smith Ordre des livres (chronologique)

This title exposes the pharmaceutical industries and their charade of fraudulent behaviour, both in research and marketing where the morally repugnant disregard for human lives is the norm.

Während seines Aufenthalts in Japan zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts sprach Richard Gordon Smith mit Bauern, Fischern und anderen einfachen Leuten über die Mythen und Legenden des Landes. Sie berichteten ihm von unheimlichen Begebenheiten, wie dem Aufmarsch der Dämonen an einem verlassenen Tempel bei Kyoto, von dem rächenden Geist eines verstorbenen Dienstmädchens und vom Skelettberg, dem Grabmal eines buddhistischen Mönches, der vom Teufel besessen war. Die Erzählungen wirken auch aus heutiger Sicht fremdartig und bisweilen verstörend, geben aber interessante Einblicke in die Werte und Traditionen, die die Bewohner des Landes bis heute prägen. Eine Auswahl der achtzehn besten unheimlichen Geschichten aus der Sammlung von Richard Gordon Smith erscheint hier erstmalig in deutscher Sprache.

Authoritarianism, capitalism and destruction: why China is leading the world to ecocide

George, a recently widowed seventy-nine-year-old, reflects on his near-miss as a rock star in the 1960s, feeling unfulfilled and unhappy. His teenage granddaughter, Tara, escapes her bickering parents by moving in with him. Meanwhile, Toby, George’s son-in-law, wants to place George in a care home. George harbors two secrets: the true reason behind his stalled music career and the deep disappointment he feels over missed opportunities. Yearning for one last chance, he is drawn to a long-lost relative with a troubled past. For Tara, living with her grandfather offers a chance to explore her own musical ambitions, but she struggles with the generational clash and the memories embedded in George’s home. Their relationship begins on shaky ground, as George disapproves of Tara's music, which he finds unbearable. However, as they navigate their differences, they discover shared strengths and similarities, including their mutual inability to operate a dishwasher. When Toby inadvertently triggers a series of events, Tara faces a life-changing decision mirroring the one her grandfather confronted decades earlier, forcing both to confront their pasts and aspirations.
