by Eth CliffordDisaster always seemed to loom right around the corner whenever Cousin Nora and Aunt Mildred came to visit.

It promised to be the worst visit ever, and that was before the snakes arrived. Harvey, who feared these slithery creatures even more than he disliked his cousin, had been dreading the upcoming Snake Day in school. Never in his wildest dreams, though, could he have guessed how Nora's contributions to the events of the day would shake up the Willson household.

Hasta Martes
by Luis Carlos MontalvánEL BESTSELLER EN THE NEW YORK TIMES Un capitán condecorado en el ejército estadounidense, Luis Montalván nunca se achicó ante un desafío durante sus dos períodos de servicio en Iraq. Sin embargo al regresar a casa después del combate, las presiones de sus heridas físicas, su traumática lesión cerebral, y el trastorno de estrés post-traumático empezaron a pasar factura. Atormentado por la guerra y en el dolor físico constante, pronto se vio incapaz de subir un simple tramo de escaleras o hacer frente a un viaje en autobús hasta el hospital de veteranos. Bebía, discutía y terminó por desconectarse de las personas que amaba. Alienado y solo, sin poder dormir ni agacharse sin sentir dolor, comenzó a preguntarse si algún día lograría recuperarse. Fue entonces que Luis conoció a Martes, un golden retriever hermoso y sensible, entrenado para ayudar a los discapacitados. Martes había vivido entre presos y en un hogar para niños con problemas, bendiciendo muchas vidas: podía encender las luces, abrir puertas y detectar cuando alguien iba a sufrir un ataque de ansiedad o de flashbacks. Pero debido a un carácter delicado y a una situación única de entrenamiento a Martes le resultaba difícil confiar en o conectar con un ser humano, hasta que llegó Luis. Hasta Martes es la historia de cómo dos soldados heridos que lo habían dado tanto y sufrido las consecuencias, se encuentran y se salvan mutuamente. Es una historia sobre la guerra y la paz, la lesión y la recuperación, las heridas psicológicas y la sanación espiritual. Pero más que eso, Hasta Martes es una historia de amor entre un hombre y un perro y cómo se sanaron las almas el uno al otro.

Hausspinnen weltweit
by Wolfgang Nentwig Jutta Ansorg Christian Kropf Paula Cushing Yvonne Kranz-BaltenspergerSpinnen, die als Untermieter in unseren Häusern vorkommen, werden meist ignoriert und gelegentlich (zu Unrecht) gefürchtet. Es dürfte weltweit kaum ein Gebäude geben, in dem nicht einige Spinnenarten vorkommen. Faszinierend daran ist, dass es immer wieder die gleichen Arten sind. Sie verfügen über besondere Anpassungen, denn die Luftfeuchtigkeit ist viel zu gering, es ist zu sauber und das Nahrungsangebot ist knapp. Wer aber den Sprung in unsere vier Wände geschafft hat, wird mit einem globalen Bleiberecht belohnt. Das liegt an der weltweiten Handels- und Migrationsfreudigkeit der Menschen: Sie transportieren einen unendlichen Strom von Waren um die Welt. Und unsere Hausspinnen reisen unerkannt mit. Es ist daher möglich, die weltweit anzutreffenden Hausspinnen in einem einzigen Buch vorzustellen, denn es sind überall weitgehend die gleichen. Die rund 50 wichtigsten Arten und Artengruppen werden mit einem ausführlichen Steckbrief, Fotos und Verbreitungskarten in allgemeinverständlicher Weise vorgestellt.

Have Dog, Will Travel: A Poet's Journey
by Stephen Kuusisto<P>In a lyrical love letter to guide dogs everywhere, a blind poet shares his delightful story of how a guide dog changed his life and helped him discover a newfound appreciation for travel and independence. <P>Stephen Kuusisto was born legally blind—but he was also raised in the 1950s and taught to deny his blindness in order to "pass" as sighted. Stephen attended public school, rode a bike, and read books pressed right up against his nose. As an adult, he coped with his limited vision by becoming a professor in a small college town, memorizing routes for all of the places he needed to be. Then, at the age of 38, he was laid off. With no other job opportunities in his vicinity, he would have to travel to find work. <P>This is how he found himself at Guiding Eyes paired with a Labrador named Corky. In this vivid and lyrical memoir, Stephen Kuusisto recounts how an incredible partnership with a guide dog changed his life and the heart-stopping, wondrous adventure that began for him in midlife. Profound and deeply moving, this is a spiritual journey, the story of discovering that life with a guide dog is both a method and a state of mind.
