        Das Buch der von Neil Young Getöteten
        August 2013

        Das Buch der von Neil Young Getöteten

        by Navid Kermani

        »Das Buch der von Neil Young Getöteten« ist mehr als nur das schönste, klügste, verrückteste Buch, das je über Rockmusik geschrieben wurde – es ist eine Hymne auf das Leben. Mit den berüchtigten Dreimonatskoliken fängt es an – Abend für Abend windet sich die neugeborene Tochter des Erzählers in Krämpfen. Das einzige wirksame Gegenmittel: die Songs von Neil Young. Für Vater und Tochter beginnt eine Reise durch den Kosmos des kanadischen Musikers hin zu den verlorenen Illusionen und flüchtigen Augenblicken des Glücks. Mit leichter Hand verwebt Navid Kermani den Alltag einer jungen Familie mit den großen Lebensfragen, und wie nebenbei wird klar, wo noch Splitter vom Paradies zu finden wären: nicht nur in der Musik.

        Das Graveyard Buch

        by Gaiman, Neil

        Spannend, gruselig und voller fantastischer Ideen erzählt der preisgekrönte Neil Gaiman von Nobody Owens, der auf einem Friedhof von Geistern und Untoten aufgezogen wird - eine wahrlich schaurig-schöne Geschichte! Nobody Owens ist ein eher unauffälliger Junge. Er lebt auf dem Friedhof, liebevoll erzogen und behütet von den Geistern und Untoten, die dort zu Hause sind. Doch der tödliche Feind, vor dem der kleine Bod einst auf den Friedhof floh, ruht nicht. Er wartet auf den Tag, an dem Bod sein Zuhause verlassen wird, um zurückzukehren in die Welt der Lebenden. Wer wird Nobody dann noch beschützen? Gedruckt auf Umweltpapier und zertifiziert mit dem "Blauen Engel".

        Mexican muralist, international Marxist

        David Alfaro Siqueiros, 1941–74

        by Curtis Swope

        David Alfaro Siqueiros was perhaps the most important communist painter of the twentieth century. This book, the first sustained engagement with Siqueiros's work in the English language, focuses on the artist's late murals, which are both aesthetically innovative and politically provocative. It places Siqueiros in an international context, revealing that the dogmatism he has been charged with was in reality a complex phenomenon. It provided a foundation for - rather than an obstacle to - his efforts to create an art embedded in the day-to-day concerns and theoretical debates of the world-wide mass movement he saw himself as a part of.

        Understanding British and European political issues

        Second edition

        by Neil McNaughton

        This new edition will be essential reading for all students studying politics at A2 level, as it covers the important issues as required by the main examining boards, and has been specifically tailored to the brand new Edexcel Route A specification. Fully updated to include the global recession and other recent political developments, it looks at the important issues in British politics since 1945. It is also useful as an introductory reader for all those who are interested in the field. Neil McNaughton is a seasoned writer at this level. He examines, on a chapter by chapter basis, the key issues of British politics today; economic policy, the Welfare State, law and order, environment policy, Northern Ireland, issues concerning women, European integration and the European Union, and the impact of the European Union on Britain. In each case he describes the issues in detail and places them in their political context. Written in an accessible style, with helpful features such as summaries, definition, tables and boxes to illuminate the points made and suggestions for additional reading and research, this book is urgently needed as students grapple with the issues thrown up by the new examinations. ;

        Christmas in nineteenth-century England

        by Neil Armstrong, Jeffrey Richards

        Despite its enduring popularity as a national festival, Christmas has been largely neglected by English historians. Neil Armstrong offers the first study to examine both the experience and representation of Christmas during the formative period of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book explores the origins of our deeply held notions of the traditional nature of Christmas and demonstrates how they were shaped by English modernity. A study of both continuity and change, Christmas in nineteenth-Ccntury England makes an important contribution to cultural and social history, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of childhood, the family, philanthropy, work and consumerism. Scholarly yet accessible, it will be enjoyed by academics, students and the general public alike. ;

        The Simons of Manchester

        How one family shaped a city and a nation

        by Martin Dodge, John Ayshford, Diana Leitch, Stuart Jones, Janet Wolff

        The Simons of Manchester revives the history of one of Manchester's most influential families, the Simons. The book investigates the lives and public work of Henry and Emily Simon, and Ernest and Shena Simon. Through philanthropy and work in social reform, the two generations of the Simons greatly enriched Manchester's cultural and civic institutions, worked to improve the lives of its citizens, and helped to spearhead profound national reforms in health, housing, planning and education. While many people in Manchester are familiar with the Simon name through Shena Simon College, Simonsway, and the Simon Building at the University of Manchester, there is scant public knowledge of who the Simons were and their legacy. As such, this edited volume of collected essays aims to illuminate their fascinating lives and public service to rehabilitate the Simons and examine their local and national significance.

        Adventures in Words

        by Alastair B. Duncan

        Introducing novels by the Nobel Prize for Literature author, Claude Simon, this text gives emphasis to peaks in his literary achievement: "The Flanders Road" (1960), "The Georgics" (1981) and "The Acacia" (1989). Alastair Duncan traces the development and recurrence of major themes, such as war, time and memory, and the constantly renewed inventiveness of Simon's manner. Duncan illustrates and comments on the various critical approaches which have been made to the novels over the years, from phenomenological interpretations, through structuralism to the autobiographical and psychobiographical approaches of the 1980s and 1990s. The text includes a chapter on Simon's most recent works ("Le Jardin des Plantes" 1997 and "Le Tramway" 2001).

        Interweaving myths in Shakespeare and his contemporaries

        Interweaving myths in Shakespeare and his contemporaries

        by Janice Valls-Russell, Agnès Lafont, Charlotte Coffin

        This volume proposes new insights into the uses of classical mythology by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, focusing on interweaving processes in early modern appropriations of myth. Its 11 essays show how early modern writing intertwines diverse myths and plays with variant versions of individual myths that derive from multiple classical sources, as well as medieval, Tudor and early modern retellings and translations. Works discussed include poems and plays by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and others. Essays concentrate on specific plays including The Merchant of Venice and Dido Queen of Carthage, tracing interactions between myths, chronicles, the Bible and contemporary genres. Mythological figures are considered to demonstrate how the weaving together of sources deconstructs gendered representations. New meanings emerge from these readings, which open up methodological perspectives on multi-textuality, artistic appropriation and cultural hybridity.

        Volumes of Influence

        by Kevin Theakston

        Volumes of influence explores the work of a number of important books and key writers within the academic disciplines of politics and international relations. It revisits and re-evaluates some of the landmark or classic books in politics and international relations, and assesses the contribution of some of the most influential writers who have played a significant role in the development of these disciplines, who defined their subjects, set agendas and inspired. They remain significant and relevant, offering insights that help in understanding and analysing contemporary problems, issues and debates. The book's chapters - written by specialists in their fields - discuss and evaluate: - 'Walter Bagehot, 'The English constitution' (1867) - Maurice Duverger, 'Political parties' (1953) - Seymour Martin Lipset and Stein Rokkan, 'Cleavage structures, party - systems and voter slignments' (1967) - Gerald Curtis, 'Campaigning Japanese style' (1971) - Steven Lukes, 'Power: A radical view' (1974) - Richard Crossman, 'The diaries of a Cabinet Minister' (1975) - Charles Lindblom, 'Politics and markets' (1977) - George Kennan, 'American diplomacy' (1951) - Graham Allison, 'Essence of decision' (1971) - Charles Beitz, 'Political theory and international relations' (1979) - Samuel Huntington, 'The clash of civilizations' (1993) The book will appeal and be of interest to academics and to students of politics and international relations, highlighting the importance of going back and studying some of the foundation literature in their subjects - books and authors which stand the test of time. ;
