      • Plastik sparen - Initiative zur Vermeidung von Plastik im Alltag

        Plastik sparen Die Geschichte einer Idee Die Idee für Plastik sparen ist im Juni 2018 entstanden. Wie schon so oft endete ein Wocheneinkauf im totalen Plastik-Inferno. Kennt ihr das? Einmal einkaufen beim Supermarkt um die Ecke und schon ist eine Mülltüte voll mit Plastik. Aber wie kann ich das ändern, fragte ich mich. Also informierte ich mich, war bei einem Vortrag zum Thema "plastikfrei leben" um dann mit dem Gefühl zurück zu bleiben, das nicht leisten zu können. Aber einfach weiter Plastik konsumieren war für mich auch keine Alternative. Es musste doch Möglichkeiten geben Plastik zu reduzieren, die Jedermann*frau ganz einfach in den Alltag einbauen kann. Und so war "Plastik sparen" geboren.  Die Idee dahinter, durch viele kleine Plastik-spar-Aktivitäten den Plastikmüll in meinem Haushalt zu reduzieren. Und, ich kann sagen es funktioniert. Bei jedem Einkauf landet wesentlich weniger Plastikverpackung im Einkaufswagen als früher.  Alles Aktivitäten, die keine (oder nur wenig) Zeit gekostet haben, die oftmals Geld gespart haben und die ich problemlos in den Alltag integrieren konnte.    "Plastik sparen" ist unser Beitrag für eine Umwelt mit weniger Plastik. Meine Ideen, Gedanken und Erlebnisse möchte  ich teilen und viele Menschen dafür begeistern, immer weniger Plastik in ihr Leben zu lassen.

        Katalonien

        Ein Reisebegleiter

        by Andreas Drouve, Andreas Drouve

        Ein Drache im See von Banyoles, das gewendete Erdreich von Montserrat, der leibhaftige Teufel als Brückenbauer in Martorell – ein reicher Legendenschatz durchzieht Katalonien, eine der schönsten Regionen Spaniens. Zwischen Bergen und Mittelmeer breiten sich erloschene Vulkane und Weingärten aus, Barcelona elektrisiert mit Glanz und Extravaganz. Iberer und Römer leben in beeindruckenden Zeugnissen fort; auf Antonio Gaudí und Salvador Dalí gehen einige der kuriosesten Gebäude Europas zurück. Andreas Drouve führt auf den Spuren großer Autoren durch Katalonien: Walter Benjamin, Kurt Tucholsky, George Orwell,Hans Christian Andersen, Ignatius von Loyola, Josep Pla, Mercè Rodoreda, Eduardo Mendoza, Cees Nooteboom, Carlos Ruiz Zafón u.a.

        Sea of stars

        by Laia Aguilar

        Winner of the 2020 Josep Pla Prize.  A group of friends. A house in front of the sea. A sea of stars and an unresolved past.  A group of friends meet five years after a tragic accident in a house in Cap de Creus, an idyllic seaside enclave, with the excuse of seeing a sea of stars.They enjoy the reunion and share secrets, but jealousies also flourish, and an old love story and still-smoldering sentiments unearth an issue from the past that remains unresolved.None of them can imagine how the night will end. A night that has one more surprise in store.“She couldn’t say if it was because Nis had asked her or because she had let herself be dragged along. But she had come. It was two weeks ago. With two suitcases and an uncertain future, following the steps of the man who had seduced her. ‘We’ll be happy there, Olivia, we’ll be good. Trust me,’ Nis had repeated into her ear.”

        Periodismo narrativo (3.ª edición)

        Cómo contar la realidad con las armas de la literatura

        by Roberto Herrscher

        Periodismo narrativo es a la vez un manual acerca de cómo escribir sobre hechos ciertos usando estructuras y estrategias narrativas propias de la literatura, y un ensayo sobre algunos de los principales autores del género, cuyos escritos se analizan para aportar definiciones, recomendaciones, lecciones y ejemplos de las herramientas que emplearon. Ahondando en la vida y la obra de una veintena de cronistas o periodistas narrativos, norteamericanos (Truman Capote, Joseph Mitchell, John Hersey), europeos (Oriana Fallaci, Josep Pla, Ryszard Kapuscinski) y latinoamericanos (Gabriel García Márquez, Tomás Eloy Martínez, Rodolfo Walsh), se extraen abundantes ejemplos y consejos prácticos. Así, el presente libro ofrece un mapa de los desafíos, los caminos y las posibilidades del periodismo narrativo, que servirá tanto a los periodistas y estudiantes de periodismo como a los lectores interesados en la literatura de no ficción para adentrarse en este apasionante género.

        Dime dónde, en que país

        by Marco Antonio Campos, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía, Círculo de Poesía

        Agrega Marco Antonio Campos a su ya extensa, personalisima y sorprendente obra de poeta, de crítico, de traductor, de cronista, de historiador y estudioso de la literatura mexicana y de otras, este libro ejemplar que él titula Dime Dónde, en qué país (una línea que toma de Villon) y que ha compuesto, como dice, con poemas en prosa y una fábula. El libro es bello y complejo, en su aparente sencillez, pero intrincado contexto de referencias, alusiones literarias, históricas y artísticas y es en efecto, tanto verdadera poesía, como la que ha logrado consumar en su lírica de autor, pero es al mismo tiempo una colección deslumbradora de visiones, de crónicas de viaje por el mundo entero, de paisajes urbanos, amores consumados y no, mares, ríos, montañas, galerías pictóricas, encuentros con autores legendarios o nacidos ayer, barrios paupérrimos, aventuras en tren y al mismo timpo, profundas y conmovedoras inscursiones de la propia biografía, en el alma y en la memoria familiar. De algún modo, este conjunto de Marco Antonio, me hace pensar en el libro admirable y perfecto de otro ilustre visionario, viajero, cronista y autobiógrafo emponente: el grande y prolijo catalán Josep Pla, autor de los diarios voluntariamente imperfectos e invaluables de su Cuaderna gris, que no ha sido posible terminar de imprimir.

        Family, Friendships, Landscapes

        by Hugh Cecil (author), Mirabel Cecil (author)

        The artist Rex Whistler (1905−1944) loved creating imaginary landscapes, whether for his murals or for portraits or book illustrations. But his inspiration came from the real landscapes of Italy, the architecture of Rome and, in England, from the countryside of Wiltshire and Dorset. It was against these backgrounds, too, that his closest friendships were formed, with Stephen Tennant, Cecil Beaton, Siegfried Sassoon and Edith Olivier and with the writer and academic Lord David Cecil. Family, Friendships, Landscapes, like its companion volume, Love and War, includes much previously unpublished material, in this case largely from Rome and from the collection of the Paget family, at Plas Newydd on the Isle of Anglesey, where Whistler painted his most famous mural.

        Plastic apocalypse

        by Arthur Ténor

        Originally, Plastivorax was a breakthrough in biotechnology. It was going to enable us to treat all plastic waste on Earth without residue or pollution. On the flip side, its inventor would pocket billions of dollars. But we hadn't counted on "that fatal little detail." A detail that this apprentice sorcerer (who thought he had mastered everything, even the laws of nature) refused to see. The result: nothing less than the end of the world, well… as we know it.

        The Contractors

        The Story of British Civil Engineering Contractors

        by Hugh Ferguson , Mike Chimes (Author)

        Fully illustrated in colour, The Contractors, is the first history of the challenges and adventures faced by British civil engineering contractors from their emergence with canal construction in the late-eighteenth century to the present day. Extraordinarily ambitious, largely unrecognised men who built the world’s infrastructure – its roads and railways, canals and bridges, docks and harbours, lighthouses and breakwaters, sea works and flood defences, water supply and irrigation, urban drainage and sewerage, gas works and power stations, and buildings of all shapes and sizes – these contractors took considerable risks, many failed in the process but others thrived and developed into some of the most powerful and influential industrialists of their day. Including profiles of many of the key figures and organisations in the industry through the ages, The Contractors explains what the business is about and where it comes from, sharing with a wider audience the exploits of these adventurers, haracterised by their inspiring leadership, sheer hard work, a strong constitution and perseverance in the face of adversity. Over time, the contractor has changed: from the great Victorian contractors, towering men whose business was their personal affair, through the twentieth century which has seen the rise of the corporate contractor, specialist contractors and the blurring of the distinction between consulting engineers and contractors, to the larger firms of recent years becoming larger through merger and acquisition but, as the examples in this book demonstrate, there is still room for the entrepreneur with vision, leadership and drive to become a highly successful contractor. The Contractors is a compulsory read for all those working in the industry, including civil engineers, those interested in the industry and its impact on the world, and the wider public. Readers will experience the boom of the canal and railway eras, working at home and abroad, the difficulties and opportunities brought by wars, the equipment used and the specialists and sub-contractors of today, fully illustrated with unique material from ICE and the firms themselves. Following the success of The Civil Engineers, Hugh Ferguson BSc(Eng) CEng FICE MCIHT and Mike Chrimes MBE BA MLS MCLIP bring their extensive experience and unique insight and passion to civil engineering contractors.
