The Cruel Stars of the Night
In Swedish author Eriksson's fine second ensemble procedural (after 2006's The Princess of Burundi), members of the Uppsala Violent Crime Division try to connect the dots linking the separate murders of two old men and the disappearance of a third. Eriksson eschews crackling dialogue and facile descriptions in favor of longer, slower developing profiles of the principal men and women of the police unit: Ann Lindell, Ola Haver, Sammy Nilsson, Allan Fredricksson and others. Their investigation proceeds in parallel with the story of Laura Hindersten, daughter of the missing man. Eriksson balances these stories nicely as the detectives reach for clues.
What is a planet? We live on one, but there are others. Are they all like Earth? Is there life on other planets? All About the Planets takes children on a tour of the nine planets of the solar system, explaining the vital statistics about each -- size, distance from the sun, temperature and why some are rocky and solid while others are made entirely of gases. It’s a fun journey from Mercury to Pluto. Spectacular NASA footage and lively animation will pique kids' curiosity.
