<p>Hunter, my majestic eighty-six-pound mutt, was the love of my life for thirteen years. I was addicted to looking at himーevery twitch of his ear was fascinating to me. I've taken thousands of photographs of him, dozens even in the same position. He was "my lucky dog."</p> <p>I adopted Hunter when he was two. He came with that name, his former owner a fan of Hunter S. Thompson. I noticed Hunter's photo in the window of a pet store in Vermont and brought him home.</p> <p>If I was the lucky break in his life, he was the transforming experience in mine. Before, I was a little wild. As a photographer, I traveled around the world, picking up and leaving on a dime. Life was exciting: photo shoots in Paris, Haiti, the Himalayas, the Andes, and even the Amazon.</p> <p>Hunter tamed me. I couldn't be away from him for more than five hours at a time. I had no children of my own; Hunter taught me about responsibility, love, and devotion in a way that was inaccessible to me with "people."</p> <p>ーMellon</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>Wie w?re es, wenn die Geschichte eines Denkmals einmal aus dessen Sicht erz?hlt wird? Die AutorInnen dieser Anthologie wagen den Perspektivenwechsel und schildern, wie es Denkm?lern im Wandel der Zeiten erging, hin- und hergerissen zwischen urspr?nglichen Intentionen, Umdeutungen und Instrumentalisierungen. Mit tiefgr?ndigem Humor begeben sie sich in den Kopf der Freiheitsstatue, lassen die Brooklyn Bridge ?ber ihre Rezeption in der Literatur zu Wort kommen, oder enttarnen die Neue Wache in Berlin als konservative Querdenkerin. Andere r?sonieren ?ber die nackte Weiblichkeit im schwedischen Wohlfahrtsstaat, oder schl?pfen in die Rolle des Sockels, der unter der B?ste eines Nazidichters leidet. Die Protagonisten sind Meilensteine der Denkmalgeschichte wie das Standbild Peter des Gro?en in St. Petersburg von 1782, Jochen Gerz und Esther Shalev-Gerz' Gegendenkmal in Hamburg-Harburg von 1986 bis hin zum 2018 in Montgomery, Alabama errichteten The National Memorial for Peace and Justice.

<p>Wie politisch ist der Jazz? Der Musikjournalist Peter Kemper geht in seinem umfassenden Werk davon aus, dass Jazz schon immer in die Auseinandersetzung um Rassismus und soziale Ausgrenzung verstrickt war. Und schreibt ein Jazzbuch, wie es noch keines gab: Erstmals wird die Emanzipationsgeschichte der Afroamerikaner in den letzten 100 Jahren anhand der Geschichte des Jazz nachgezeichnet. Neben den wichtigsten stilistischen Meilensteinen beschreibt Kemper auch die pr?gendsten Pers?nlichkeiten und die einflussreichsten Strategien ihrer Rebellion. Jazzgr??en wie Louis Armstrong, Charles Mingus und Moor Mother haben ihre Arbeit stets als Ausdruck eines Lebens begriffen, das vom allt?glichen und institutionellen Rassismus gepr?gt war. Doch worin liegt der subversive Kern des Jazz genau? Im demokratischen Charakter der Improvisation? In k?mpferischen Texten und Titeln? Oder in der Soundsprache selbst? Peter Kemper untersucht in seinem grundlegenden Werk, wie weit die Schlagkraft eines politisch verstandenen Jazz reicht, wo seine ?sthetischen Potenziale und Grenzen liegen: Die perfekte Lekt?re f?r Musikliebhaber, die sich f?r die politische Bedeutung von Musik interessieren und tiefer in die Welt des Jazz eintauchen m?chten ? und ein tolles Geschenk, nicht nur f?r ambitionierte Jazzfans. ≫Es ist ein Fehler zu glauben, dass nur Schwarze ?ber Black Music schreiben k?nnen. Der Diskurs zu diesen Fragen sollte so vielf?ltig wie m?glich sein.≪ Archie Shepp</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p>Klaus Mann verk?rpert die bewegte erste H?lfte des 20. Jahrhunderts wie kaum ein Zweiter ? als schillernder Bohemien, als gro?er Schriftsteller. Thomas Medicus begleitet Klaus Mann (1906 bis 1949) auf den Stationen seines sehr modernen Lebens ? von der behu?teten Mu?nchner Kindheit, der Karriere des Dandys in der Weimarer Republik, die der homosexuellen Emanzipation Vorschub leistete, bis zur Emigration in verschiedene europ?ische Staaten und in die USA. Klaus Mann war ein gro?er Reisender; irrlichternd zwischen den Kontinenten, publizierte er in ungebremstem Schreibfluss. Ein extremes Leben, immer auch u?berschattet von Drogen und Ausschweifungen, einem Todeswunsch von fru?h auf. Dann die Ru?ckkehr nach Deutschland 1945 als amerikanischer GI, schlie?lich die du?steren letzten Jahre bis zu seinem Freitod in Cannes.</p> <p>In seiner gro?en Biographie erz?hlt Thomas Medicus dieses unwahrscheinliche Leben und ergru?ndet dessen Obsessionen und Triebkr?fte.

<p>Aboriginal design is of a distinctly cultural nature, based in the Dreaming and in ancient practices grounded in Country. It is visible in the aerodynamic boomerang, the ingenious design of fish traps and the precise layouts of community settlements that strengthen social cohesion. Alison Page and Paul Memmott show how these design principles of sophisticated function, sustainability and storytelling, refined over many millennia, are now being applied to contemporary practices. Design: Building on Country issues a challenge for a new Australian design ethos, one that truly responds to the essence of Country and its people. About the series: Each book is a collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous writers and editors; the series is edited by Margo Neale, senior Indigenous curator at the National Museum of Australia.

<p>Simone C. Drake spent the first several decades of her life learning how to love and protect herself, a black woman, from the systems designed to facilitate her harm and marginalization. But when she gave birth to the first of her three sons, she quickly learned that black boys would need protection from these very same systemsーsystems dead set on the static, homogenous representations of black masculinity perpetuated in the media and our cultural discourse.</p> <p>In <em>When We Imagine Grace</em>, Drake borrows from Toni Morrison’s <em>Beloved</em> to bring imagination to the center of black masculinity studiesーallowing individual black men to exempt themselves and their fates from a hateful, ignorant society and open themselves up as active agents at the center of their own stories. Against a backdrop of crisis, Drake brings forth the narratives of black men who have imagined grace for themselves. We meet African American cowboy, Nat Love, and Drake’s own grandfather, who served in the first black military unit to fight in World War II. Synthesizing black feminist and black masculinity studies, Drake analyzes black fathers and daughters, the valorization of black criminals, the black entrepreneurial pursuits of Marcus Garvey, Berry Gordy, and Jay-Z, and the denigration and celebration of gay black men: Cornelius Eady, Antoine Dodson, and Kehinde Wiley. With a powerful command of its subjects and a passionate dedication to hope, <em>When We Imagine Grace</em> gives us a new way of seeing and knowing black masculinityーsophisticated in concept and bracingly vivid in telling.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>The years between roughly 1760 and 1810, a period stretching from the rise of Joseph Haydn’s career to the height of Ludwig van Beethoven’s, are often viewed as a golden age for musical culture, when audiences started to revel in the sounds of the concert hall. But the latter half of the eighteenth century also saw proliferating optical technologiesーincluding magnifying instruments, magic lanterns, peepshows, and shadow-playsーthat offered new performance tools, fostered musical innovation, and shaped the very idea of “pure” music. <em>Haydn’s Sunrise, Beethoven’s Shadow</em> is a fascinating exploration of the early romantic blending of sight and sound as encountered in popular science, street entertainments, opera, and music criticism.</p> <p>Deirdre Loughridge reveals that allusions in musical writings to optical technologies reflect their spread from fairgrounds and laboratories into public consciousness and a range of discourses, including that of music. She demonstrates how concrete points of intersectionーcomposers’ treatments of telescopes and peepshows in opera, for instance, or a shadow-play performance of a balladーcould then fuel new modes of listening that aimed to extend the senses. An illuminating look at romantic musical practices and aesthetics, this book yields surprising relations between the past and present and offers insight into our own contemporary audiovisual culture.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p><strong>An illustrated demonstration of the construction process for different buildings to enhance your model railroad display.</strong></p> <p>At some time during ownership a train set crosses an arbitrary threshold and becomes a model railway. The aspiring modeler then has the challenge of filling in all the gaps. Whether the line runs through the countryside, a village or town, some type of infrastructure is needed to represent the station, home, or factory. This can be a challenge to the modeler as there are a wide variety of offerings at differing price points and detail levels. This book progresses through planning and thought processes aiming to demonstrate pictorially several different build types. From the simple paper kit to mighty scratch-built edifices, each is broken down to show how the build is undertaken. This book also follows some of the rebuilding process undertaken by the Market Deeping Model Railway Club as layouts were repaired, enhanced, or replaced following their annual show being vandalized on the night before public opening in May 2019. As the news of this sad event broke, it went worldwide through the modeling community and public in general. The images of layouts broken to matchwood showed many years of skilled building and devoted operation which were lost. This gave the opportunity for experienced club members to build a mini movie set, construct a major London terminus and patch repair what could be saved from damaged originals. The photographic capture of these projects has been used within this book alongside the detailed work of other modelers, clubs, and societies.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p>Even though it’s frequently asserted that we are living in a golden age of scripted television, television as a medium is still not taken seriously as an artistic art form, nor has the stigma of television as “chewing gum for the mind” really disappeared.</p> <p>Philosopher Martin Shuster argues that television is <em>the</em> modern art form, full of promise and urgency, and in <em>New Television</em>, he offers a strong philosophical justification for its importance. Through careful analysis of shows including <em>The Wire, Justified,</em> and <em>Weeds,</em> among others; and European and Anglophone philosophers, such as Stanley Cavell, Hannah Arendt, Martin Heidegger, and John Rawls; Shuster reveals how various contemporary television series engage deeply with aesthetic and philosophical issues in modernism and modernity. What unifies the aesthetic and philosophical ambitions of new television is a commitment to portraying and exploring the family as the last site of political possibility in a world otherwise bereft of any other sources of traditional authority; consequently, at the heart of new television are profound political stakes.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p>Why is liberalism so often dismissed by thinkers from both the left and the right? To those calling for wholesale transformation or claiming a monopoly on “realistic” conceptions of humanity, liberalism’s assured progressivism can seem hard to swallow. <em>Bleak Liberalism</em> makes the case for a renewed understanding of the liberal tradition, showing that it is much more attuned to the complexity of political life than conventional accounts have acknowledged.</p> <p>Amanda Anderson examines canonical works of high realism, political novels from England and the United States, and modernist works to argue that liberalism has engaged sober and even stark views of historical development, political dynamics, and human and social psychology. From Charles Dickens’s <em>Bleak House</em> and <em>Hard Times</em> to E. M. Forster’s <em>Howards End</em> to Doris Lessing’s <em>The Golden Notebook</em>, this literature demonstrates that liberalism has inventive ways of balancing sociological critique and moral aspiration. A deft blend of intellectual history and literary analysis, <em>Bleak Liberalism</em> reveals a richer understanding of one of the most important political ideologies of the modern era.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p><strong>This is a well illustrated expert guide to the castles of England, providing concise accounts of what remains to be seen at each site.</strong></p> <p>Spread across the medieval kingdom of England in a network of often formidable strongholds, castles, like cathedrals, are defining landmarks of their age, dominating their settings, in many cases even to this day. By representing an essential aspect of our history and heritage, the interpretation of which is constantly being revised, they demonstrate the value of Malcolm Hislop’s compact, authoritative and well illustrated new guide to English castles.</p> <p>The gazetteer includes an astonishing variety of types, sizes and designs. Individual entries bring out the salient points of interest including historical context, building history and architectural character. The defensive and domestic purposes of these remarkable buildings are explained, as is the way in which their layout and role developed over the course of hundreds of years, from the predominantly earth and timber fortresses of the Normans to the complex stone castles of the later Middle Ages, many of which can be visited today.</p> <p>Hislop’s experience as an archaeologist specializing in medieval buildings, castles in particular, as well as his eye for structural detail, ensure that his guide is a necessary handbook for readers who are keen on medieval history and warfare, and for visitors who are looking for an accessible introduction to these monumental relics of England’s military past.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
