Delve into the darkness and join us at the end of the world.

We live in a world positively teeming with threats and apocalyptic scenarios. Many of them are familiar: terrorism, deadly viruses, global warming and war, but many others most of us can't even imagine: self-replicating nanobots that can devour an entire planet, high-energy experiments that threaten to suck the Earth into a mini black hole, and even super-sophisticated scientific contraptions that can put an end to the entire universe.

In this book, you would think you have the ultimate complementation of Donald Goines, Zane, and the mild Terry McMillian. The book is about a family struggling to balance street life, love, and secrets that will eventually surface. The main thing is that when the truth is revealed, does it instantly destroy the family or will they slowly fall apart? The story begins with two brothers who are very close to each other. They are like twins but are also different in their own manner as well. The streets are steadily calling out to them, but so are their women. The women that they connect with slowly change some of their negative views on life to a more balanced and positive way. However, is it going to be too late for them? Will the women instead become more in tuned with the world of crime and violence than become someone who brings about change? Is it the beginning or the end of what they know life to be?

In an imaginary Empire whose king is dying, everyone fears for the fate of the kingdom. The only heir of the Empire is Princess Anila, whose womanhood would not help her climb on the Throne. Without successors, the counts would become sovereigns again, and war for dominance would break out. In Dalday, Nufira decides to leave her village to become a King’s Messenger. She not only discovers a strange world in which rules are not always familiar to her, but she will play a leading role in stabilising the Empire, due to her self-assurance, loyalty and common sense. A triumphant tale of life, showing that true strength and values come from within, regardless of appearance. An extraordinary example of a woman who stepped out of her traditional female role to recover a whole kingdom. G. B. Zechendorf, born in Berlin in 1948, is married, has three sons and six grandchildren. He is a trained librarian and documentalist and has worked from 1978-2011 at the European Commission where he had built up a large documentation about biotechnology and life sciences, directed studies and organised workshops (working language was English). Since 2011 he has retired and is living in Brussels. Among his numerous writings are novels, short stories, 12 contributions to the field of biotechnology, a book on unusual European aspects, in German (“Interferenzen”), and a yet unpublished guide through Brussels’ cultural heritage, in French (“Balades à Bruxelles”). Being a truly European writer, many of his stories are set in various European countries, some in the USA. Bernhard’s main interests are reading, studying, walking, travelling and – of course – writing.

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2020 NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY * THE WASHINGTON POST * THE ECONOMIST * NEW SCIENTIST * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY * THE GUARDIAN From one of the most dynamic rising stars in astrophysics, an “engrossing, elegant” (The New York Times) look at five ways the universe could end, and the mind-blowing lessons each scenario reveals about the most important concepts in cosmology. We know the universe had a beginning. With the Big Bang, it expanded from a state of unimaginable density to an all-encompassing cosmic fireball to a simmering fluid of matter and energy, laying down the seeds for everything from black holes to one rocky planet orbiting a star near the edge of a spiral galaxy that happened to develop life as we know it. But what happens to the universe at the end of the story? And what does it mean for us now? Dr. Katie Mack has been contemplating these questions since she was a young student, when her astronomy professor informed her the universe could end at any moment, in an instant. This revelation set her on the path toward theoretical astrophysics. Now, with lively wit and humor, she takes us on a mind-bending tour through five of the cosmos’s possible finales: the Big Crunch, Heat Death, the Big Rip, Vacuum Decay (the one that could happen at any moment!), and the Bounce. Guiding us through cutting-edge science and major concepts in quantum mechanics, cosmology, string theory, and much more, The End of Everything is a wildly fun, surprisingly upbeat ride to the farthest reaches of all that we know.
