Crime – Ferdinand von Schirach
Crime is a collection of stories told by one of Germany’s most prominent defence lawyers. Some of the cases are strange, some bewildering and others heartbreaking, but all are told with genuine concern for those who have slipped through the protective nets of society.
- What would make a polite, well-liked doctor cut up his wife with an axe?
- Why would a boy slaughter the sheep in his village?
- Who is the silent man that coolly murdered two neo-Nazis on a suburban train platform?
- What connection does a German bank robber have to an Ethiopian village?
- Why would a museum drop all charges against someone who deliberately smashed one of their statues?
- However heinous the crime, the author shows readers the human at the core. Crime is an incredibly moving look at the legal system and the people it serves, from an expert of criminal law and a powerful new voice in writing.
Neslin: The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter lived between the two worlds: the poor neighborhood where he lived with his family and studied suburban high. When his closest childhood friend Khalil was shot by a policeman, the delicate balance between the two worlds began to deteriorate, because Khalil did not pose any threat. Soon, Khalil’s death was the headline. Some people call him a gangster, and some of them even depict him as a drug dealer gang member. Starr’s best friend at school even thought Khalil might have deserved it. When the police were not very interested in this incident, the protests were poured into the streets and Starr’s neighborhood transformed into a battlefield. There was one thing everyone wanted to know: What happened that night? Starr was the only one who could answer that. But he could have risked his own life in this war that Starr had to say or what he couldn’t say to justice. This is the first novel about Angie Thomas, an ordinary girl finding herself in an unusual state, racism and police brutality; He’s smart, courageous, and he’s talking about an honest, non-return.
“Stay quiet! A stunning first novel. ” – The Guardian-
“This first novel of Thomas is questioning the bonds, the ethics, the sense of justice and the morality of society. This story, brought to life by Starr’s voice, examines the layers of the two colliding worlds. It’s an indisputable book and it needs a large readership. ” Booklist, starred review-
“Stay quiet! A masterpiece. ” The Huffington Post
STEPHEN HAWKİNG
Stephen Hawking, one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists in history, wrote the modern classic A Brief History of Time to help non-scientists understand fundamental questions of physics and our existence: where did the universe come from? How and why did it begin? Will it come to an end, and if so, how?
Hawking attempts to deal with these questions (and where we might look for answers) using a minimum of technical jargon. Among the topics gracefully covered are gravity, black holes, the Big Bang, the nature of time and physicists’ search for a grand unifying theory. This is deep science; the concepts are so vast (or so tiny) that they cause mental vertigo while reading, and one can’t help but marvel at Hawking’s ability to synthesize this difficult subject for people not used to thinking about things like alternate dimensions. The journey is certainly worth taking for as Hawking says, the reward of understanding the universe may be a glimpse of “the mind of God”.
When and how did the universe begin? Why are we here? What is the nature of reality? Is the apparent ‘grand design’ of our universe evidence for a benevolent creator who set things in motion? Or does science offer another explanation? In The Grand Design, the most recent scientific thinking about the mysteries of the universe is presented in language marked by both brilliance and simplicity.

Neslin; Unelected Power by Paul Tucker.
Unelected Power: The Quest for Legitimacy in Central Banking and the Regulatory State, by Paul Tucker, Princeton University Press. In certain significant areas, politicians have entrusted economic technocrats with the task of making politically significant policy decisions. The most important examples are in monetary policy and financial regulation, both almost universally carried out by independent central banks. In this important book, Paul Tucker, a former deputy governor of the Bank of England, analyses where and how to delegate these and other responsibilities, and where and when such delegation risks undermining democratic legitimacy itself.

“He draws a man.” –San Francisco Book Review
Mike Smith; He‘s a lock artist. Combinations can open any safe, padlock or locked door without passwords or keys. He spends his time writing his story because it’s the only way he can share the whole thing. To write. He never spoke for ten years. Since the tragic day he was known as “The Miracle Boy.” Not a single word.
Mike is one of those mysterious people that you can’t keep yourself from backing up… A struggling soul, a silent genius, who depicted his love with pictures, turned from the edge of the cliff.
Didem; Irrational but predictable by Dan Arıely
Blending common phenomena and subtle experiments with groundbreaking analyses, Ariely shows how expectations, emotions, social norms and seemingly irrational forces of the unseen are distorting our reasoning skills. It would be dangerous for us to rely on conventional economics theories when planning personal, national and global policies. Mistakes we make as individual or institutional are never random, and when they come together, they can create an impact on the market with destructive consequences. The results of these systematic and predictable errors are explained for the first time under the light of the current global economic crisis.
