Description: "Fast, tense, thrilling — and timely: this will happen one day. Highly recommended." —Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series This is no accident. This is no act of God. This is a Blackout. When the lights go out one night, no one panics. Not yet. The lights always come back on soon, don't they? Surely it's a glitch, a storm, a malfunction. But something seems strange about this night. Across Europe, controllers watch in disbelief as electrical grids collapse. There is no power, anywhere. A former hacker and activist, Piero investigates a possible cause of the disaster. The authorities don't believe him, and he soon becomes a prime suspect himself. With the United States now also at risk, Piero goes on the run with Lauren Shannon, a young American CNN reporter based in Paris, desperate to uncover who is behind the attacks. After all, the power doesn't just keep the lights on—it keeps us alive.

Description: Un semaforo che smette di funzionare all'improvviso, una frenata brusca, poi il vuoto. Quando Pietro Manzano si risveglia al pronto soccorso, ricorda poco di quanto è successo. Una sola cosa è certo: non è l'unico a essere rimasto coinvolto in un incidente d'auto per via di un guasto alla rete elettrica. Tutta Milano è al buio. E, nel giro di poche ore, inizia a circolare la notizia che il blackout coinvolge l'intera penisola e che, come un'inarrestabile marea nera, si sta propagando anche in Austria, Germania, Francia. E' come se un intero continente si stesse spegnendo. Da ingegnere informatico, Piero intuisce subito che non può trattarsi di un banale malfunzionamento e, una volta tornato a casa, trova un'agghiacciante conferma ai suoi sospetti: è stato diffuso un virus che ha mandato in tilt tutti i contatori della città. Tuttavia, non appena si mette in contatto con le autorità, Piero si scontra con un muro di diffidenza e scetticismo. Anzi, da quel momento, la polizia comincia a pedinarlo, quasi fosse lui il responsabile del sabotaggio. E, in breve, Piero si rende conto del perché: qualcuno si è introdotto nel suo account di posta elettronica e ha mandato alcune e-mail a dir poco compromettenti. Determinato a provare la propria innocenza, nonché a smascherare il vero colpevole, a Piero non rimane altra scelta che farsi strada attraverso un'Europa ridotta in ginocchio dalla mancanza di energia, dove il pericolo è in agguato dietro ogni angolo, nascosto nelle tenebre del blackout. Acclamato da critica e pubblico come il nuovo Frank Schätzing, in questo romanzo Marc Elsberg prefigura uno scenario tanto realistico quanto inquietante ma, soprattutto, ci pone una domanda cruciale: senza energia elettrica, quale sarebbe il destino della civiltà occidentale?

Description: This book offers the first systematic study of death in the later novels of Don DeLillo. It focuses on Underworld to The Silence, along with his 1984 novel White Noise, in which the fear of death dominates the protagonists most hauntingly. The study covers eight novels, which mark the development of one of the most philosophical and prestigious novelists writing in English. Death, in its close relation to time, temporality and transience, has been an ongoing subject or motif in Don DeLillo’s oeuvre. His later work is shot through with the cultural and sociopsychological symptoms and responses death elicits. His "reflection on dying" revolves around defensive mechanisms and destruction fantasies, immortalism and cryonics, covert and overt surrogates, consumerism and media, and the mortification of the body. His characters give themselves to mourning and are afflicted with psychosis, depression and the looming of emptiness. Yet writing about death also means facing the ambiguity and failing representability of "death." The book considers DeLillo’s use of language in which temporality and something like "death" may become manifest. It deals with the transfiguration of time and death into art, with apocalypse as a central and recurring subject, and, as a kind of antithesis, epiphany. The study eventually proposes some reflections on the meaning of death in an age fully contingent on media and technology and dominated by financial capitalism and consumerism. Despite all the distractions, death remains a sinister presence, which has beset the minds not only of DeLillo’s protagonists.

Description: The more intensively we exploit the urban and rural landscape, the greater the demands we place on our environment and what it can provide. Demographic change, shrinking cities, urban expansion, climate change and the transition to renewable energy sources are confronting us with challenges of ever greater magnitude. Solar fields and bio-energy crops are changing the face of the landscape and new traffic and energy infrastructure criss-crosses the countryside. Meanwhile, vast efforts are being made to adapt existing infrastructure to meet changing demands. In the process, it has once again become clear that we must consider our use of natural resources not just from a local perspective but within a broader context. Green infrastructure strategies can take quite different forms, ranging from floodwater protection measures to the integration of traffic and energy systems and the development of urban green. The goal for society is to improve the diversity and resilience of our environment and to minimize the effects of climate change. In essays, interviews and profiles of the best realized projects from the past few years, Green Infrastructure examines the challenges and tasks facing contemporary landscape architecture and what it can achieve to address them. This book is published on the occasion of the awarding of the German Landscape Architecture Prize 2015.
