Peter Apps Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
Peter Apps je autorom, ktorého tvorba vychádza z fascinácie ľudstvom a jeho potenciálom. Hoci sa jeho diela pohybujú na pomedzí sci-fi, inšpiráciu čerpá z histórie a z presvedčenia, že aj zdanlivo obyčajné veci môžu skrývať neobyčajné možnosti. Apps skúma tému hľadania mimozemského života a zároveň oslavuje neuveriteľnosť ľudskej existencie. Jeho písanie odráža vnútornú túžbu po objavovaní a záujem o vedu, astronómiu a rozmanitosť ľudských životov.

On 14 June 2017, a 24-storey block of flats went up in flames. The fire climbed up cladding as flammable as solid petrol. Fire doors failed to self-close. No alarm rang out to warn sleeping residents. As smoke seeped into their homes, all were told to 'stay put'. Many did - and they died. It was a disaster decades in the making. Peter Apps exposes how a steady stream of deregulation, corporate greed and institutional indifference caused this tragedy. It is the story of a grieving community forsaken by our government, a community still waiting for change.
The book is a guide to the habits of southern African mammals, arranged by characteristics such as feeding, communication, social living, courtship and many more traits. It attempts to explain how and why animals do what they do.
