Renowned physicist Alan Lightman, author of Ada and the Galaxies, turns his focus to the hidden world of light in this luminous picture book.

What else could be out there, waiting for her eyes to discover?In simple, engaging language, complemented by luminous artwork from bestselling illustrator Ramona Kaulitzki, author and physicist Alan Lightman unveils the hidden world of light waves - the ones you can see and the ones you can't.

A classic I ran across on my neverending to-read pile and finished within a few hours. The simple writing style made it enjoyable and easy to read, even if it was first published in 1900 and the language is somewhat rigid. It becoming a classic is well deserved - though I must say I'm not interested in the volumes that follow after this first one.
Wer bisher Bambi nur als Disney-Verfilmung kannte, hat nun die Möglichkeit, die 1923 erschienene Originalgeschichte von Felix Salten in einer ganz besonders prächtigen Ausstattung zu lesen.

Es lohnt sich!

Vom französischen Künstler und Illustrator Benjamin Lacombe kennen wir u.A. schon die Bebilderung zu Alice im Wunderland oder auch die Werke von Edgar Allan Poe, nun hat er auch die bewegende Tierfabel in seinem einzigartigen, zwischen magisch-melancholischem und morbide changierendem Stil neu illustriert.

Für Naturfreund*innen, Bibliophile, Erwachsene und (nicht mehr ganz junge) Kinder gleichermaßen.
