The ArtsJanuary 2019Carol Reed
by Peter William Evans
Carol Reed is one of the truly outstanding directors of British cinema, and one whose work is long overdue for reconsideration. This major study ranges over Reed's entire career, combining observation of general trends and patterns with detailed analysis of twenty films, both acknowledged masterpieces and lesser-known works. Evans avoids a simplistic auteurist approach, placing the films in their autobiographical, socio-political and cultural contexts and relating these to the analysis of Reed's art. The critical approach combines psychoanalysis, gender theory, and the analysis of form. Archival research is also relied on to clarify Reed's relations with his creative team, financial backers and others. Films examined include Bank Holiday, A Girl Must Live, Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, The Third Man, Night Train to Munich, The Way Ahead, Outcast of the Islands, Trapeze and Oliver!.

May 2008Die Romane
by Thomas Bernhard, Martin Huber, Wendelin Schmidt-Dengler
Ein Schriftsteller wollte er nicht sein, vielmehr "jemand, der schreibt". Zugleich begriff er sich als "Geschichtenzerstörer" und "Übertreibungskünstler", wurde von andern als "Misanthrop" oder "Alpenbeckett" charakterisiert. Eins steht bei solch unterschiedlichen Ansichten fest: Bernhards Werke, die Prosa wie die Dramen, zählen unbestritten zur Weltliteratur und sind in annähernd 50 Sprachen auf dem Erdball zu lesen. Die vorliegende Quarto-Ausgabe präsentiert seine neun Romane im gesicherten Textbestand – vom Debütroman Frost aus dem Jahr 1963 über Das Kalkwerk und Korrektur bis zum gewaltigen Schlußband Auslöschung von 1986. Martin Huber und Wendelin Schmidt-Dengler beschreiben Entstehung, Relevanz und Wirkung des Bernhardschen Romanwerks in einem ausführlichen Schlußessay. Dieser Band bietet im Vergleich zu den Einzelbänden eine Preisersparnis von 71%.

Business, Economics & LawMay 2017Linking Urban and Rural Tourism
Strategies in Sustainability
by Susan L Slocum, Carol Kline
Destinations rely on regional strategies to support and enhance the tourism product through regional partnerships and integration. Integrated tourism is defined as tourism that is explicitly linked to the economic, social, cultural, natural and human structures of the region in which it occurs. Integrated tourism has evolved to include numerous meanings and definitions but all of which have a vertical approach. The first of its kind, this book moves away from the vertical approach and provides insight into inclusive regional development strategies that support both the needs of urban and rural areas whilst enhancing the tourist experience, supporting the positive impacts of tourism and mitigating the negative. Regional studies tend to portray either an urban or rural focus without acknowledging that often these spaces constitute joint governance structures, similar historical and cultural roots, and economic dependencies. Sustainable tourism promotes sourcing locally, such as using rural agricultural products in urban tourism experiences. Furthermore, innovative marketing strategies linking tourism heritage, attractions, food and drink trails, and artisans with urban visitors are emerging. Including theoretical and applied research and international case studies, this will be a valuable resource to academics, students and practitioners working in tourism development and regional policy. ; This book provides insight into inclusive regional development strategies that support both the needs of urban and rural areas. Sustainable tourism promotes sourcing locally, such as using rural products in urban experiences, while innovative marketing linking tourism heritage, food and drink trails, and artisans with urban visitors are emerging.

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2010The Winter's Tale
by Judith Dunbar, Jim Bulman, Carol Chillington Rutter
This illuminating study of The Winter's Tale in performance in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries contributes to understanding the growth during that time of high critical esteem forwhat is now one of Shakespeare's frequently performed plays. Writing about performance as a richly collaborative living art, the author learns from and gives voice to the work of actors, directors, designers and other theatre professionals whose labor and interpretive discoveries have made it possible for audiences to experience the play's multiple potentialities in the theatre. She does this in part by citing from her interviews with directors like Trevor Nunn and Peter Hall and with actors engaged in some of the most significant twentieth-century productions of The Winter's Tale. Dunbar connects her scholarly research, including fresh use of materials in theatrical archives, to her direct experience of those productions she has able to see in performance and, at times, to see develop in rehearsal. Her in-depth analysis of selected significant twentieth-century productions, including cross-cultural productions of The Winter's Tale by the Royal Dramatic Theatre of Sweden (directed by Ingmar Bergman), and the Maly Drama Theatre of Europe, in St. Petersburg (directed by Declan Donnellan), explores how theatre artists have approached the play's most crucial theatrical and interpretive challenges. The book's last chapter, by distinguishedtheatre scholar and performance critic Carol Chillington Rutter, contributes a richly layered and highly engaging comparative analysis of eight of the most important recent British productions of the play. Dunbar makes a significant contribution to understanding The Winter's Tale which will be of great interest to scholars, teachers, and students of Shakespeare, to theatre lovers, and to all involved in productions of the play. ;

July 1985Einführung in die Kybernetik
Aus dem Englischen von Jörg Adrian Huber
by W. Ross Ashby, Jörg Adrian Huber, W. L. Bauer, Jörg Adrian Huber
Die »Einführung in die Kybernetik« ist eines der Standardwerke der jungen Wissenschaft Kybernetik, nicht zuletzt durch des Autors didaktisches Geschick der Grundlagenvermittlung. Ashby vermeidet es, für den Laien unnötig verwirrende Bereiche der Elektronik und der höheren Mathematik in seine Einführung einzubeziehen und verwendet satt dessen allgemeinverständliche Beispiele aus dem Alltag. Im ersten Teil geht es um Systeme im allgemeinen, um ihre schematische Darstellung durch Transformation, um Stabilität, Unabhängigkeit und Rückkoppelung. Im zweiten Teil des Buches befaßt sich Ashby mit »Information« im Zusammenhang mit der grundlegenden Theorie Shannons. Zur Erläuterung von Information und Codierung etc. werden zahlreiche Beispiele aus dem Bereich biologischer Forschung herangezogen. Der dritte Teil zeigt Verwendungsmöglichkeiten von Mechanismen und Information für die Regelung und Kontrolle von Systemen. Dabei geht es ebenso um natürliche Systeme (wie das menschliche Hirn), die Gegenstand der Physiologie sind, wie auch um künstliche, das heißt um die Konstruktion von Maschinen, die in ihrer Funktion der des Hirns vergleichbar sind.
