E. A. Seemann Henschel, Leipzig The German publisher for the visual and performing arts – for readers of all ages Leipzig is the city of Johann Sebastian Bach, Felix Mendelssohn and the Schumanns. Here, in the 15th century, the German publishing production came into being, which in the following centuries produced publishers such as Brockhaus, Reclam and E. A. Seemann. Today, the city is a vibrant metropolis in the heart of Europe that attracts artists and creative people for both education and work. Here the publishing group E. A. Seemann Henschel publishes carefully edited and attractively designed books on the visual and performing arts. The Imprint E. A. Seemann publishes elaborately produced illustrated books about the Bauhaus, Classical Modern Art, and reference books for teaching artistic techniques. The Imprint Henschel stands for illustrated text books, biographies and educational guides on dance, drama, and music. In our children's art programme BILDERBANDE (freely translated: art gang), individually illustrated books are published which impart with inspiring energy and beautiful details the colorful world of the arts to children.

In this groundbreaking reassessment of the conventional understanding of a cohesive 'Arts and Crafts movement' in Britain, Imogen Hart argues that a sophisticated mode of looking at decorative art developed in England during the second half of the nineteenth century. Bringing to light a significant number of little-known visual and textual sources, Arts and Crafts Objects insists that the history of British design between the 1830s and the 1910s is more complex and interwoven than concepts of clearly differentiated 'movements' allow for. Reinvesting the objects with the original importance ascribed to them by their makers and users, this book places furniture, metalwork, tiles, vases, chintzes, carpets, and wallpaper at the centre of a rigorous reassessment of the concept of 'Arts and Crafts'. The book offers radical new interpretations of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society and the homes of William Morris, alongside illuminating analyses of less familiar but equally rich contexts. ;

This book is about globally invasive alien birds. It consists of three sections. In the first section, a species account for each of the 32 global avian invader species (as listed by the Invasive Species Specialist Group, ISSG) is provided. Here experts currently conducting or who have previously researched these species provide detailed, up-to-date information of these birds and their current invasive status on a global scale, with images of the species and distribution maps. Details provided include physical description, diet, introduction and invasion pathway, breeding behaviour, habitat, impacts of species, control and any uses for this species. In the second section, avian invasions are discussed biogeographically, further highlighting aspects of current and emerging invasive species in different countries. In the third section, the ecology and impacts of avian invasive species is considered.

»Harte Zeiten. Für diese Zeiten« – so lauten Titel und Untertitel des von April bis August 1854 in der Wochenschrift »Household Words« erschienenen Werkes, dessen Zielrichtung hier schon deutlich wird: die Unmenschlichkeit, die mit der sich immer weiter ausprägenden Industrialisierung in der viktorianischen Epoche einhergeht. Ein starrer Blick auf Rationales und auf Zahlen – »Tatsachen, Tatsachen, Tatsachen!« – prägt das zwischenmenschliche Verhalten in der Unternehmerwelt und hat entsprechende Auswirkungen auf die entrechteten Arbeiter, für die Dickens exemplarisch die Figur des Steven Blackpool zeichnet. Blackpool zögert nicht, dem hartherzigen Industriellen Bounderby die Wahrheit über die Situation der Webereiarbeiter zu sagen. Die Haupthandlung wird von zahlreichen Nebenhandlungen umrankt, in denen Zorn über soziale Ungerechtigkeit und satirische Einsprengsel nebeneinanderstehen.

Harte Jahre ist ein vielstimmiges Romanepos über Macht, Verschwörung und Verrat – über die Fallstricke der Geschichte und die dreisten Machenschaften imperialer Politik. Und ein virtuoser literarischer Hochseilakt. Im Jahr 1954 bringt ein Militärputsch die Regierung Guatemalas zu Fall, mit freundlicher Unterstützung des CIA. Und zwar vermittels einer dreisten Lüge, die als Wahrheit durchgeht: US-Präsident Eisenhower hatte in Umlauf gebracht, Guatemalas Präsident Árbenz billige und unterstütze die Ausbreitung des sowjetischen Kommunismus auf dem Kontinent. Eine Lüge, die das Schicksal ganz Lateinamerikas verändern wird. Diese folgenreiche historische Episode – die uns schmerzlich an unsere Gegenwart erinnert – greift Mario Vargas Llosa auf und erzählt sie lebhaft und packend in ihrer ganzen Vielgestaltigkeit. Wer gründet welche Intrigen? Wer sind die Profiteure? Wer bleibt auf der Strecke?

As one of the sustained buildings, containers are widely used in many countries. The reason why containers come into use in such a vast range is that the cost of container building is controllable and is good for environment protection, and especially the recircled containers should cost less money and be better for environment protection, so that container building is applied in construction industy. All kinds of franchised stores of containers, art galleries, dwellings and container art exhibitions appear everywhere. We attribute achievements to the architects and artists. In the recent years, the ideas, the work and the samples of containers spread all the places in China. There are many fine and beautiful pictures and illustrations of container designs in the book showing how wonderful the containers are. Mainwhile the book delivers techniques to build and repair containers. This is a conference book with its full and accurate account of the matter.
