        David and Bathsheba

        George Peele

        by Mathew R. Martin

        David and Bathsheba presents a modernised edition of George Peele's explosive biblical drama about the tangled lives, deadly liaisons, and twisted histories of Ancient Israel's royal family. Martin's critical edition is the first modern single-volume edition of the play since 1912 and opens up this unduly neglected gem of English Renaissance drama to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the play's treatment of its biblical and poetic sources, its engagement with Elizabethan politics, and its forceful representations of religious fanaticism, genocide, and sexual violence. Its commentary notes clarify the text's meaning and staging, guide the reader through the play's dramatisation of the turbulent Davidic period of Ancient Israel's history, and place the play in its broader cultural and artistic milieu. Martin's edition aims to encourage new contemporary critical study of Peele's powerful and disturbing drama.

        Selected Essays of Anne Lake Prescott

        by Anne Lake Prescott, Roger Kuin, William A. Oram

        Eine Bildmonographie

        by Theodor W. Adorno Archiv, Henri Lonitz, Christoph Gödde, Gabriele Lieselotte Ewenz, Michael Schwarz

        Eine Vielzahl von bisher unpublizierten Texten, Bildern und Dokumenten eröffnet eine neue und unerwartete Perspektive auf das Leben und Werk Theodor W. Adornos. Von den frühen Zeugnissen aus der Kindheit, wie etwa einem bisher unbekannten Jugendtagebuch, das transkribiert und z.T. faksimiliert vorgelegt wird, über Dokumente aus seinen Studien- und Exiljahren bis hin zur Rückkehr nach Frankfurt und seiner Arbeit am Institut für Sozialforschung und an der Frankfurter Universität verfolgt der Band das Leben Adornos am Leitfaden von überaus anschaulichen, prägnanten, im besten Sinne »sprechenden« Zeugnissen. Neben einem weiteren Tagebuch aus dem Jahr 1949 finden sich zahlreiche, hier erstmals veröffentlichte Briefe, Notizen, Kompositionen, Photographien und Skizzen aus seinem Nachlaß.

        French cinema in the 1970s

        The echoes of May

        by Alison Smith

        This book re-examines French cinema of the 1970s. It focuses on the debates which shook French cinema, and the calls for film-makers to rethink their manner of filming, subject matter and ideals in the immediate aftermath of the student revolution of May 1968. Alison Smith examines the effect of this re-thinking across the spectrum of French production, the rise of new genres and re-formulation of older ones. Chapters investigate political thrillers, historical films, new naturalism and Utopian fantasies, dealing with a wide variety of films. A particular concern is the extent to which film-makers' ideas and intentions are contained in or contradicted by their finished work, and the gradual change in these ideas over the decade. The final chapter is a detailed study of two directors who were deeply involved in the debates and events of the 70s, William Klein and Alain Tanner, here taken as exemplary spokesmen for those changing debates as their echoes reached the cinema.

        EXCAVATING THE CITY OF DAVID

        by Ronny Reich

        Archaeological research over the past 150 years has identified Jerusalem’s southeastern hill, outside the Old City walls, as the biblical City of David. The growing realization that this hill is indeed the most ancient part of Jerusalem led many scholars to excavate it. Since the first excavation by Charles Warren in 1867 to the present, fourteen archaeological expeditions have dug here, making the City of David hill one of the most excavated sites in Israel. British, German, French, and Israeli teams have dug here under four different governments (Ottoman, British Mandate, Jordanian, and Israeli), producing an impressive quantity of data. Some of these remains are uniquely important, including the Siloam Tunnel, the Warren’s Shaft system, the Siloam Inscription, the Theodotos Inscription, and the Pool of Siloam. Recent excavations at the City of David have uncovered impressive remains of Middle Bronze Age fortifications around the Gihon Spring and remains of the Siloam Pool dating to the Second Temple period. The Siloam Tunnel has now been thoroughly documented and studied. This book begins with a chronological survey of a century and a half of excavation and study of the City of David hill. It then summarizes the history of the hill, from prehistoric times to the end of the Ottoman period. It presents an up-to-date summary of past and recent archaeological discoveries, many of which, presented here for the first time, have dramatically changed our thinking about Jerusalem’s ancient history.   Ronny Reich has been excavating and studying Jerusalem’s antiquities for over forty years. From 1969 to 1978 he participated in the excavations directed by Professor Nahman Avigad in Jerusalem’s Jewish Quarter. Since 1995 he has been co-director of the City of David Excavations. Professor Reich is a graduate of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he wrote his Ph.D. dissertation on Jewish ritual baths in the Second Temple period. Since 1995 he has been a professor of archaeology at the University of Haifa. In 2000 he was awarded the Jerusalem Prize for Archaeological Research.   27 × 22 cm., 382 pages, hardcover, numerous black & white and color illustrations.

        by William Linnard, David Darrah-Morgan

        Russia and the other republics of the former USSR are now more accessible than at any other time in history. In the future, the forest resource of Russia, easily the greatest of any country in the world, will become even more globally important both environmentally and commercially.This new dictionary incorporates an updated and enlarged version of the first Russian-English edition, published in 1966, plus an entirely new English-Russian section of similar size. It contains many new terms, species names, acronyms and abbreviations to account for the great changes which have taken place in Russian forestry in terms of mechanization, woodworking technology, forest management and economics, environmental pollution and conservation. A list of the botanical names of trees and shrubs, with their Russian and English equivalents has also been included.The book has been compiled by Dr William Linnard, former Assistant Director of the Commonwealth Forestry Bureau, with over forty years’ experience of abstracting and translating forestry literature and David Darrah-Morgan, M.A. (Translation), a full-time translator, specializing in forestry and related fields.

        Conga Line on the Amazon

        by David Myles Robinson

        David Myles Robinson was eight years old when he first got hooked on travel. Since then, he’s seen most of the world—all its continents plus, he laments, “far too many places where travel is now off-limits.”After a lifetime of visiting near and far, in heat and in cold, in comfort and in danger, Robinson has put it all together now in this unique collection of the varied travel adventures he’s found—and the lessons he’s learned from them. A Fellini-esque view of the Amazon, a Mercedes caravan to Istanbul, Jane Goodall's amazing chimps—just part of a travel trunk full of experiences guaranteed to keep you seesawing from “Boy, I'd love to do that" to “Sure glad it was him, not me.”In Conga Line on the Amazon, Robinson brings to his first travel book the same gift for intriguing narrative and sharp characterization that has won praise for his six highly successful novels. Some of his tales may be for the strong of heart, but they’re all for the reader with a yen to be entertained by one intrepid man’s adventures and misadventures exploring the strange and wonderful world we live in.

        AUSGRABUNG DER STADT DAVIDS

        by Ronny Reich

        AUSGRABUNG DER STADT DAVIDS – Wo die Geschichte Jerusalems begann Von Ronny Reich Die archäologische Forschung der vergangenen 150 Jahre hat den südöstlichen Hügel Jerusalems, außerhalb der alten Stadtmauern, als die biblische Stadt Davids identifiziert. Die wachsende Erkenntnis, dass dieser Hügel tatsächlich der älteste Teil von Jerusalem ist, hat viele Gelehrte dazu bewegt, sie auzugraben. Seit den ersten Ausgrabungen 1867 von Charles Warren bis zur Gegenwart haben hier vierzehn archäologische Expeditionen Ausgrabungen vorgenommen, was die Stadt Davids zu einer der aktivsten Ausgrabungsstätten in Israel macht. Britische, deutsche, französische und israelische Teams haben hier unter vier verschiedenen Regierungen (ottomanisches Reich, britisches Mandat, jordanische Verwaltung und Israel) Ausgrabungen durchgeführt, was zu einer eindrucksvollen Ansammlung von Daten geführt hat. Einige dieser Fundstätten sind besonders wichtig, darunter der Siloam Tunnel, das Schaftsystem von Warren, die Schriften von Siloam, die Schriften von Theodotos und der Teich von Siloam. Jüngere Ausgrabungen an der Stadt Davids haben eindrucksvolle Funde von Befestigungen aus der mittleren Bronzezeit in der Nähe von Gihon Spring und Überreste des Teichs von Siloam ans Tageslicht gebracht, die zurück bis in die Periode des zweiten Tempels reichen. Der Tunnel von Siloam ist mittlerweile gründlich dokumentiert und untersucht worden. Dieses Buch beginnt mit einer chronologischen Übersicht über anderthalb Jahrhunderte von Ausgrabungen und Studien des Hügels der Stadt Davids. Es fasst anschließend die Geschichte des Hügels zusammen von prähistorischen Zeiten bis zum Ende der ottomanischen Periode. Es stellt eine aktuelle Zusammenfassung vergangener und jüngerer archäologischer Entdeckungen vor, von denen viele hier zum ersten Mal präsentiert werden und die unser Denken über die antike Geschichte Jerusalems dramatisch verändert haben.   Ronny Reich nimmt seit über vierzig Jahren an Ausgrabungen und Studien von antiken Stätten in Jerusalem teil.Von 1969 bis 1978 nahm er an den von Professor Nahman Avigad geleiteten Ausgrabungen im jüdischen Viertel Jerusalems teil.Seit 1995 ist er Co-Direktor der Ausgrabungen in der Stadt Davids.Professor Reich verfügt über einen Abschluss der Hebrew University in Jerusalem, wo er seine Dissertation zum Ph.D. über jüdische Ritualbäder in der zweiten Tempelperiode verfasste.Seit 1995 ist er Professor für Archäologie an der Universität von Haifa.2000 erhielt er den Jerusalem Preis für archäologische Forschung.   27 x 22 cm, 382 Seiten, Hardcover, zahlreiche Schwarzweiß- und Farbillustrationen.

        Am Anfang war Erziehung (st 951), Das Drama des begabten Kindes (st 950), Du sollst nicht merken (st 952)

        by Alice Miller

        Alice Miller wurde am 12. Januar 1923 in Polen geboren. Sie studierte in Basel Philosophie, Psychologie und Soziologie. Nach der Promotion machte sie in Zürich ihre Ausbildung zur Psychoanalytikerin und übte 20 Jahre lang diesen Beruf aus. 1980 gab sie ihre Praxis und Lehrtätigkeit auf, um zu schreiben. Seitdem veröffentlichte sie 13 Bücher, in denen sie die breite Öffentlichkeit mit den Ergebnissen ihrer Kindheitsforschungen bekannt machte. Sie verstand ihre Suche nach der Realität der Kindheit als einen scharfen Gegensatz zur Psychoanalyse, die in der alten Tradition das Kind beschuldigt und die Eltern schont. Alice Miller ist am 14. April 2010 im Alter von 87 Jahren verstorben.
