Presenting answers to all sorts of incredibly silly questions, this volume is designed for every curious child. For example, did you ever wonder why: the toast always lands butter side down?; the world never stops spinning?; and cats land on their feet? There are cartoons throughout.
The collection features poems from two authors separated by two centuries, showcasing diverse styles and influences. The first group, penned by William Clark during the Corps of Discovery expedition (1804-1806), reflects the historical and exploratory spirit of early America. In contrast, the second group, attributed to an anonymous writer from Portland (2017-2019), captures contemporary themes and perspectives. Together, they offer a unique juxtaposition of time, temperament, and purpose in the poetic landscape of Oregon.
Exploring the intricate relationship between memory and identity, this collection of poetry delves into a conceptualized France that transcends time and physicality. The poems evoke a personal and nostalgic vision of France, likening it to a lost love or an elusive vintage wine. Through vivid imagery and philosophical reflections, the author captures the essence of a France that exists in the mind, inviting readers to contemplate their own connections to place and experience.
Set in a bleak 2041, the narrative explores the struggle of a select group striving to preserve their beloved culture and civilization, threatened by a faceless, overwhelming majority. As society crumbles, these individuals embark on a desperate journey northward, seeking refuge in the last bastion of hope. Their flight through dark forests and snow-covered landscapes encapsulates themes of beauty, sadness, and the resilience of the human spirit against an encroaching tide of conformity and despair.

Die Wahrheit über Murphys Gesetz! „Alles, was schiefgehen kann, wird auch schiefgehen.“ Murphys Gesetz bestimmt unser Leben, ob es uns passt oder nicht. Der Toast fällt immer auf die Butterseite; wenn wir unter Zeitdruck auf den Bus warten, kommt garantiert erst eine halbe Stunde keiner, dann aber gleich drei hintereinander; und kurz vor einem lebenswichtigen Date sprießt mit Sicherheit ein Pickel auf unserer Nase. Gibt es für diese Phänomene rationale Erklärungen? Wie so oft, liegt die Wahrheit im Auge des Betrachters: Wir denken, die Welt habe sich gegen uns verschworen, dabei kann die Welt gar nichts dafür. Was in Wahrheit vorgeht, wenn Murphys Gesetz wieder einmal zuschlägt, das erklärt Richard Robinson auf einzigartig anschauliche und witzige Weise. Mit unzähligen Fallbeispielen und originellen Illustrationen – das ideale Geschenkbuch.
