David B. Bücher

Der Wächter erwacht unter der Erde, eine Leiche zwischen Leichen, an der Seite von Alexandra, der Liebe seines Lebens. Er vermag sein Denken zu kontrollieren, nicht aber seine Bewegungen oder sein Gedächtnis, das er offenbar verloren hat. Wo sind sie? Warum folgt ihnen eine Stimme, die seltsamerweise der von Marvin ähnelt? Und was ist mit dem Wächter passiert, warum ist er zum Skelett geworden? Joann Sfar, Lewis Trondheim und David B. entführen uns in die Zeit zwischen dem ZENIT und der ABENDDÄMMERUNG des Donjon – in eine albtraumhafte und zugleich faszinierende Welt.

In dieser Kindheit zwischen Heerscharenvon Ärztinnen und den Dämonen der Krankheit flüchtet sich der junge David B. in eine von sonderbaren Gestalten bewohnte und von Gewalt geprägte Fantasiewelt

Insects walk on water, snakes slither, and fish swim with remarkable grace and speed. How do they achieve this, and what can we learn from their movements? David Hu takes readers on an enlightening journey into animal motion, exploring how various species have adapted to their environments by leveraging physical laws in astonishing ways. From MIT labs to Panama's rainforests, Hu showcases the latest discoveries in animal mechanics, which are inspiring innovations in robotics and technology that emulate nature's efficiency. He examines diverse movements, such as the sandfish's undulations and dogs shaking off water in seconds, alongside the crash-resistant flight of insects. Hu also investigates swarm intelligence, highlighting how army ants link their bodies to form bridges across ravines. The book delves into nature's surprising feats, including flying snakes and rainstorm-resistant mosquitoes, revealing insights into energy, flexibility, and water repellency. As researchers gain a deeper understanding of these phenomena, they apply this knowledge to cutting-edge technology, integrating biology, engineering, physics, and robotics to unravel the fascinating mechanics of animal locomotion.
