        Die Welt ist flach

        Eine kurze Geschichte des 21. Jahrhunderts

        by Thomas L. Friedman, Michael Bayer, Hans Freundl, Thomas Pfeiffer

        Sie wissen Bescheid über die Globalisierung? Dann wissen Sie auch, daß jährlich einige hunderttausend amerikanische Steuererklärungen in Indien erstellt werden, daß USRadiologen routinemäßig kurz vor Feierabend CT-Aufnahmen nach Australien schicken, um am nächsten Morgen die fertige Auswertung aus dem elektronischen Postfach zu nehmen, und daß Sie selber möglicherweise schon einmal, ohne es zu ahnen, in einem Callcenter angerufen haben, obwohl Sie nur einen Tisch im Restaurant reservieren wollten? Friedman folgt den Datenströmen und führt vor, wie sie die Existenz von Managern und Mittelständlern, von chinesischen Studenten und Hausfrauen in Utah entscheidend verändern. Sein Buch ist erhellend und fesselnd - lebendige Reportage und prägnante Einführung in die Dynamiken der globalen Gegenwart in einem. Die Veränderungen betreffen uns alle, egal, wo wir leben, egal, was wir tun. Wir sollten ihnen, so sein Plädoyer, mit gebotener Dringlichkeit, mit Realismus und Optimismus begegnen - er liefert das Anschauungsmaterial und die Anleitung.

        Titus Andronicus

        by Jim Bulman, Michael Friedman, Carol Chillington Rutter, Alan Dessen

        Michael D. Friedman's second edition of this stage history of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus adds an examination of twelve major theatrical productions and one film that appeared in the years 1989-2009. Friedman identifies four lines of descent in the recent performance history of the play: the stylised, realistic, darkly comic, and political approaches, which culminate in Julie Taymor's harrowing film Titus (1999). Aspects of Taymor's eclectic vision of ancient Rome under the grip of modern fascism were copied by several subsequent productions, making Titus the most characteristic, as well as the most influential, contemporary performance of the play. Friedman's work extends Alan Dessen's original study to include Taymor's film, along with chapters devoted to the efforts of international directors including Gregory Doran, Silviu Purcarete, and Yukio Ninagawa.

        In der Provence

        by Lawrence Durrell, Anne Steeb-Müller

        Dreißig Jahre lebte Lawrence Durrell in der Provence, und die Provence ist auch das Thema seines letzten, kurz vor seinem Tod 1990 erschienenen Buches. Es ist eine Liebeserklärung an seine Wahlheimat, ein sehr persönliches, ungewöhnliches Buch, eine Mischung aus Reiseimpressionen, autobiographischen Texten und Geschichten. Plaudernd schreibt Durrell über die Geschichte und die Entwicklung der Provence, erläutert den kulturhistorischen Zusammenhalt zwischen Römern und Franzosen, erzählt vom Mythos, den dieser Landstrich für den Rest des Landes darstellt, beschreibt die Architektur des Südens, aber auch die Lebenslust, das Lebensgefühl der Provenzalen weiß er unvergleichlich zu schildern.

        The Quest to Conserve Rare Breeds

        Setting the Record Straight

        by Lawrence Alderson

        Since the middle of the twentieth century the world has witnessed a succession of political and social disruptions. Globalisation, technological advancement, climate change, human migration, war and conflict - all have caused major worldwide upheavals. In this light, it's unsurprising that conservation of rare breed animals has been neglected. Yet the preservation of these genetic resources - this biological diversity - is an essential ingredient of sustainable life on Earth, and not something we can afford to lose. This book, straight from the 'horse's mouth' Lawrence Alderson CBE, challenges often repeated 'facts' about livestock farming and argues for a reasoned and evidence-based approach from political and public circles. Correcting misconceptions as he goes, he recounts the creation and development of the rare breed conservation movement, addresses extinctions and genetic safe-guarding measures, and considers where we go from here. Challenged as we are by climate change, sustainability and feeding the world, perhaps it is these endangered animals that hold the answer - perhaps with them, we can adapt to our changing environment and see a way forward to a more certain future.

        Oikoá

        by Felipe Valério

        The name of this book is Oikoá, which means life in the language of the Guarani Mbya people. This name was chosen because the indigenous peoples have been the guardians of life on planet Earth: it is in their territories that there are more types of trees and plants, animals, fish, birds, insects, and where the rivers and forests are best preserved.

        Liebesgeschichten

        by D. H. Lawrence, Heide Steiner

        Optimismus, der dem Pessimismus Schopenhauers radikal entgegengesetzt ist, der Wille zum Leben, der sich im Geschlecht ausdrückt, ist Freude, und in ihm müssen Denken und Handeln ihren Ausgangspunkt haben, wenn sie nicht leerer Begriff, unfruchtbarer Mechanismus bleiben sollen . . .« Mit diesem, wie Simone de Beauvoir sagt, »Willen zum Leben« hat D. H. Lawrence auch jene Liebeserzählungen geschrieben, die den Romanen, seinem Hauptwerk, vorangegangen sind.
