When Albert Camus died in a car crash in January 1960 he was only 46 years old  already a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature and a world figure  author of the enigmatic The Stranger, the fable called The Plague, but also of the combative The Rebel  which attacked the politically correct among his con-temporaries.Thanks to his early literary achievement, his work for the under-ground newspaper Combat and his editorship of that daily in its Post-Liberation incarnation, Camus voice seemed the conscience of postwar France. But it was a very personal voice that rejected the conventional wisdom, rejected ideologies that called for killing in the cause of justice. His call for personal responsibility will seem equally applicable today, when Camus voice is silent and has not been replaced. The secrecy which surrounded Algerian-born Camus own life, public and private  a function of illness and psychological self-defense in a Paris in which he still felt himself a stranger  seemed to make the biographers job impossible.Lottmans Albert Camus was the first and remains the definitive biography  even in France. On publication it was hailed by New York Times reviewer John Leonard: What emerges from Mr. Lottmans tireless devotions is a portrait of the artist, the outsider, the humanist and skeptic, that breaks the heart. In The New York Times Book Review British critic John Sturrock said: Herbert Lottmans life (of Camus) is the first to be written, either in French or English, and it is exhaustive, a labor of love and of wonderful industry. When the book appeared in London Christopher Hitchens in New Statesman told British readers: Lottman has written a brilliant and absorbing book... The detail and the care are extra-ordinary... Now at last we have a clear voice about the importance of liberty and the importance of being concrete.The new edition by Gingko Press includes a specially written preface by the author revealing the challenges of a biographer, of some of the problems that had to be dealt with while writing the book and after it appeared.

How the World's Most Fertile Soil Can Help Reverse Climate Change and Reduce World Hunger

# data[].attributes.description
Terra preta is the Portuguese name of a type of soil which is thought to have almost miraculous properties. The newspapers are flooded with reports about black gold, scientists believe that two of the greatest problems facing the world climate change and the hunger crisis can be solved by it. The beauty of it is that everyone can do something about it because since 2005 the secret of producing this black soil has been revealed and it is a secret that seemed to have been lost forever with the downfall of the once thriving Indian culture of the Amazon basin. The recipe is astonishingly simple as all you need are kitchen or garden wastes, charcoal and earthworms, so it can be produced on every balcony or on the smallest of garden plots.The trio of authors Scheub, Pieplow and Schmidt, set off on a treasure hunt and condensed all the knowledge about the worlds most fertile soil into a convenient guidebook. In addition to a sound instruction manual on producing terra preta and organic charcoal (biochar), the handbook covers fundamental principles from climate farming to closed-loop economy. It makes a passionate plea against synthetic fertilizers and genetic technology and offers indispensable advice to all those who feel strongly about healthy food.

Francoise Gilot on Her Life With and Without Picasso

# data[].attributes.description
An intimate, revealing biography of a talented artist who lived life on her own terms.

Pablo Picasso called Francoise Gilot The Woman Who Says No. Talented, and feisty, and an accomplished artist in her own right, Gilot left Picasso after a ten-year relationship, the only woman to escape his intense attentions unscathed. From 2012 to 2014, German journalist and author Malte Herwig dropped by her ateliers in Paris and New York to chat with her about life, love, and art. She shared trenchant observations, her sharp sense of humor, and over ninety years of experience, much of it in the company of men who changed the world: Picasso, Matisse, and her second husband, the famous virologist Jonas Salk, developer of the polio vaccine. Never one to stand in the shadows, Gilot engaged with ground-breaking artists and scientists on her own terms, creating from these vital interactions an artistic style all her own, translated into an enormous collection of paintings and drawings held by private collectors and public museums around the world. In her early nineties, she generously shared her hospitality and wisdom with Herwig, who started out as an interviewer but found himself drawn into the role of pupil as Gilot, whom he called a philosopher of joy, shared with him different ways of seeing the world.
