DER HAHN IST TOT Noll, Ingrid

Sie hält sich für eine Benachteiligte, die ungerecht behandelt wird und zu kurz kommt. Mit zwei-undfünfzig Jahren trifft sie die Liebe wie ein Hexenschuß. Diese letzte Chance muß wahrge-nommen werden, Hindernisse müssen beiseite geräumt wenden. Sie entwickelt eine bittere Tat-kraft: Rosemarie Hirte, Versicherungsangestellte, geht buchstäblich über Leichen, um den Mann ihrer Träume zu erbeuten.

THE CITY IN HISTORY Mumford, Lewis

This book opens with a city that was, symbolically, a world: it closes with a world that has become, in many practical aspects, a city. In following through this development I have attempted to deal with the forms and functions of the city, and with the purposes that the city will have an even more significant part to play in the future than it has played in the past, if once the original disabilities that have accompanied it through history are sloughed off.

THE LONDON SCENE. Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf, one of the most admired writers of the twentieth century, is equally honored today for her fiction and for her essays, which covered a wide range of subjects. Born in 1882, she died in 1941.

These five sparkling essays on those aspects of London that have changed little since Virginia Woolf wrote of them in the 1930s show Woolf at the top of her from, blending together in her own unique fashion solid information and imaginative flights of fancy, fact and poetry.

"London", she wrote, "is a city in the full tide and race of human life." It still is. The Docks, Oxford Street, the great men's houses within its confines -Keats', Carlyle's- its abbeys and cathedrals, the House of Commons, today reflect those same enduring qualities that Virginia Woolf observed so perceptively.

LA MÉRIDIENNE Guedj, Denis

1792, Méchain et Delambre, deux astronomes, quittent Paris, avec pour mission de mesurer le méridien entre Dunkerque et Barcelone afin d'etablir une mesure universelle, le mètre. Tour à tour pris pour des émigrés royalistes, des espions, des charlatans, ils sont emportés par les soubresauts de l'Histoire. Cette traversée du territoire durera sept années, le temps qu'a vécu la République.

L'OCCIDENT ROMAIN Harmand, Louis

A l'abri des fortifications qui la protègent du monde barbare, une large communauté dominée par Rome s'est constituée dans l'Occident européen: Gaule, Espagne, Bretagne, Afrique du Nord.
Cette vaste aire a vu s'affirmer une même empreinte: urbanisation, romanisation de la langue, mise en valeur commerciale et industrielle. Les routes terrestres et maritimes favorisent les échanges, des fonctionnaires circulent de l'Afrique à la Tamise, du Rhin à la Mediterranée. Mais derrière le vernis romain, le monde celtique persiste, des résistences s'affirment tandis que se creuse la coupure entre l'Occident romanisé et l'Orient hellénisé.
Par son étude à la fois régionale et chronologique qui allie l'abondance de l'information à une vision synthétique, L'Occident romain s'impose comme un ouvrage de référence.

GREEK ASTRONOMY Heath, Thomas L.

Astronomy as a science began with the Ionian philosophers, with whom Greek philosophy and mathematics also began. While the Egyptians and Babylonians had accomplished much of astronomical worth, it remained for the unrivalled speculative genius of the Greeks, in particular, their mathematical genius, to lay the foundations of the true science of astronomy. In this classic study, a noted scholar discusses in lucid detail the specific advances made by the Greeks, many of whose ideas anticipated the discoveries of modern astronomy.
