Bill Bryson once again proves himself to be an incomparable companion as he guides us through the human body - how it functions, its remarkable ability to heal itself, and (unfortunately) the ways it can fail.

Average schools don't inspire greatness - and greatness is what our world needs if we are going to produce world-changing learners. In Culturize, author and education leader Jimmy Casas shares insights into what it takes to cultivate a community of learners who embody the innately human traits our world desperately needs, such as kindness, honesty, and compassion.

Ich bin Andrej Primus, Anführer des Clans der Architekten. Es ist uns gelungen, Novosibirsk zu verlassen, wo die Zombies und Mutanten jeden Tag mehr werden und an Stärke gewinnen. Unser Ziel ist es, unsere eigene Stadt zu gründen. Aber außer uns gibt es noch viele andere Gruppen von Überlebenden, und jede will den besten Platz für sich beanspruchen.

Während ich mich in Afrika abkühlen konnte, haben sich die Dinge zu Hause in rasantem Tempo entwickelt. Zombies haben eine Stadt direkt neben meiner gegründet, und die nächstgelegenen menschlichen Siedlungen sind nun vereint und wetzen fleißig ihre Messer.

Und das sind nur einige der Probleme, die ich lösen muss, sobald ich wieder zu Hause bin.
