        magazine

        by Adam Green, Thomas Meinecke

        What am I doing in New York City? fragt der jüngste und vielversprechendste Songwriter New Yorks, ein Aufnahmegerät in der Hand, ein Notizbuch griffbereit in der Hosentasche. Und was ihm einfällt, landet entweder als Song im Recorder und später auf CD oder im Heft und wird zum pulsierenden Text: Eine Zeitlang sammelte Adam Green seine Textproduktion jenseits der Musik in Fanzines, den sogenannten magazines. Jetzt sind diese, zusammen mit dem Langgedicht "Flowers of Capitalism" und anderen zwischen 2001 und 2004 entstandenen Texten, erstmals in Buchform erhältlich.

        Victorian women's magazines

        An anthology

        by Margaret Beetham, Kay Boardman

        This anthology makes available to students and general readers the rich variety of Victorian magazines for women. The extracts range from fashion magazines to feminist journals, from serious works for Christian mothers to tales of romance and passion for 'sweethearts'. Focusing on the historical development of the British women's magazine, this extensively illustrated work gives access to texts which few readers ever see. The first main section describes and illustrates eight kinds of magazine for women. Though they have common features, the differences between the drawing room journal of the 1830s and 1840s and the cheap domestic magazines of the 1890s are clearly demonstrated. The second section focuses on those elements which made up the magazine's typical mix of ingredients, including fiction, the fashion plate, poetry, political journalism, advice columns and reader's letters. The last section is the most comprehensive listing of British Victorian women's magazines which currently exists. This is a work of scholarship but one which will appeal to students of Cultural, Historical, Literary and Women's Studies, as well as to the general interested reader. Like the magazines it represents, it offers its readers both entertainment and instruction. ;

        Pulp

        Reading popular fiction

        by Scott McCracken

        Pulp brings together in one volume chapters on the best seller, detective fiction, popular romance, science fiction and horror. It combines a lucid and accessible account of the cultural theories that have informed the study of popular fiction with detailed readings of Jackie Collins, Jilly Cooper, Colin Dexter, William Gibson, Stephen King, Iain Banks, Terry McMillan and Walter Mosley. Scott Mc Cracken argues that popular fiction serves a vital function: it provides us with the means to construct a workable sense of self in the face of the disorientating pressures of modernity. ;

        Meine Lieblings-Flops, gefolgt von einem Ideen-Magazin

        by Hans Magnus Enzensberger

        »Ich behaupte, daß mir meine Flops im Lauf der Zeit geradezu ans Herz gewachsen sind.« (Hans Magnus Enzensberger) In diesem Schwarzbuch nimmt Enzensberger ein Thema ins Visier, das viele Künstlerkollegen scheuen, den Mißerfolg: »Wenigen Erfahrungen verdanke ich so viel; ich behaupte sogar, daß mir meine Flops im Lauf der Zeit geradezu ans Herz gewachsen sind. Sie gewähren Einblick in die Produktionsbedingungen, Manieren und Usancen des Kulturbetriebs und helfen dem Ahnungslosen, die Fallstricke, Minenfelder und Selbstschußanlagen einzuschätzen, mit denen er auf diesem Terrain zu rechnen hat.« Das demonstriert der Autor anhand von Geschichten und Einfällen, Exposés, Treatments, Szenen und Projekten aus fünfzig Jahren. Vieles von dem, was auf dem Weg zur Kinoleinwand, zur Theater-, Opern- und Operettenbühne, zum Magazin oder zur verlegerischen Unternehmung verworfen wurde oder versandet ist, sei’s zu Recht oder zu Unrecht, passiert in diesem schwarzen Buch Revue. Wer oder was war schuld an den kleinen und großen Niederlagen? Lag es am Geld, an der Justiz oder am eigenen Übermut? Aber das ist für Enzensberger nicht der springende Punkt. Jammern, sagt er, sei ungesund. Er amüsiert sich lieber und überläßt dem Publikum zu guter Letzt noch Ideen, aus denen sich jeder gratis und portofrei bedienen kann.

        Gac Fruit: Advances in Cultivation, Utilisation, Health Benefits and Processing Technologies

        by Minh Nguyen, Tuyen Chan Kha

        Gac fruit, Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng, is rich in nutrients such as carotenoids (particularly beta-carotene and lycopene), fatty acids, vitamin E, polyphenol compounds and flavonoids. This book provides the latest research on this fruit, from cultivation through to processing technologies for health products. It addresses several techniques on propagation and cultivation in order to increase the production and quality of Gac fruit, including traditionally used parts of the fruit (aril) and those whose value has not yet been maximized (peel, pulp and seed). This plant has the potential to be a high value crop, particularly as parts of the fruit can be processed into nutrient supplements and/or natural colorants. It has an exceptional potential in the world carotenoids market of about US$ 1.4 billion (2017), which will be growing steadily, up to US$ 6.9 billion by 2026. As such, this book contains special emphasis on: · Improving production of Gac fruit · Novel extraction of Gac oil rich in beta-carotene and lycopene from aril and peel. · Encapsulation of Gac oil rich in beta-carotene and lycopene. Practical applied technologies such as microwave drying, heat pump drying, freeze drying, ultrasound assisted extraction, supercritical CO2 extraction, encapsulation techniquesare all presented. This is an essential reference text for academics, researchers and graduate students in cultivation, food processing, science and nutrition. Product developers in health food areas in the food industry will also find it valuable.

        by Douglas Field

        This special issue of the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library is devoted to William Blake. It explores the British and European reception of Blake's work from the late nineteenth century to the present day, with a particular focus on the counterculture. Opening with two articles by the late Michael Horovitz, an important figure in the 'Blake Renaissance' of the 1960s, the issue goes on to investigate the ideological struggle over Blake in the early part of the twentieth century, with particular reference to W. B. Yeats. This is followed by articles on the artistic avant-garde and underground of the 1960s and on Blake's significance for science fiction authors of the 1970s. The issue closes with an article on the contemporary Belgian art collective maelstrÖm reEvolution.
