Xeno yearns to have access to the Nth Dimension like The White Boys, famed telepaths who suffered brain damage when they made contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. Out of work as a bartender since the Shoki Pao dance club mysteriously burned down, Xeno's lackluster lifestyle in the city of Metropa is getting harder to maintain.

Zwischen 1939 und 1945 investierte die Luftwaffe des Dritten Reiches unter dem Codewort "Sonnengott" große Summen in die Sonnenforschung und in den Aufbau eines Netzes von Sonnenobservatorien. Durch Beobachtungen der verschiedenen Erscheinungen der Sonnenaktivität sollte eine verlässliche tägliche Vorhersage der optimalen Frequenzbänder für den militärischen Weitfunk geliefert werden.Zum Aufbau dieser Forschungsaktivitäten bediente sich die Luftwaffe eines jungen Astrophysikers, der als Sohn eines bekannten linksgerichteten Verlegers der Weimarer Republik wenig geeignet erschien, "kriegsentscheidende Forschung" für das nationalsozialistische Regime zu betreiben: Karl-Otto Kiepenheuer (1910-1975). Hitlers Krieg machte den knapp dreißigjährigen und bis dahin reichlich erfolglosen Kiepenheuer unter Umgehung der üblichen akademischen Laufbahn zum einflussreichen Institutsdirektor, der er auch die folgenden drei Jahrzehnte bleiben sollte.Dieses Buch erzählt die Geschicht...

Lee Miller's life embodied all the contradictions and complications of the twentieth century: a model and photographer, muse and reporter, sexual adventurer and domestic goddess, she was also America's first female war correspondent. Carolyn Burke, a biographer and art critic, here reveals how the muse who inspired Man Ray, Cocteau, and Picasso could be the same person who unflinchingly photographed the horrors of Buchenwald and Dachau. Burke captures all the verve and energy of Miller's life, from her early childhood trauma to her stint as a Vogue model and art-world ingenue, from her harrowing years as a war correspondent to her unconventional marriages and passion for gourmet cooking. A lavishly illustrated story of art and beauty, sex and power, modernism and surrealism, "Lee Miller" illuminates an astonishing woman's journey from art object to artist. This title is National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist. Produ...
