        Terry Gilliam

        by Peter Marks

        Terry Gilliam presents a sustained examination of one of cinema's most challenging and lauded auteurs, proposing fresh ways of seeing Gilliam that go beyond reductive readings of him as a gifted but manic fantasist. Analysing Gilliam's work over nearly four decades, from the brilliant anarchy of his Monty Python animations through the nightmarish masterpiece Brazil to the provocative Gothic horror of Tideland, it critically examines the variety and richness of Gilliam's sometimes troubled but always provocative output. The book situates Gilliam within the competing cultural contexts of the British, European and American film industries, examining his regular struggles against aesthetic and commercial pressures. He emerges as a passionate, immensely creative director, whose work encompasses a dizzying array of material: anarchic satire, childhood and adult fantasy, dystopia, romantic comedy, surrealism, road movie, fairy tale and the Gothic. The book charts how Gilliam interweaves these genres and forms to create magical interfaces between reality and the illuminating, frightening but liberating worlds of the imagination. Scrutinising the neglected importance of literature and adaptation in Gilliam's career, this study also observes him through the lenses of auteurism, genre, performance, design and national culture, explaining how someone born in Minnesota and raised in California came to be one of British television and film's most compelling figures.

        Anglo–German relations during the Labour governments 1964–70

        NATO strategy, détente and European integration

        by Terry Macintyre

        Speaking at West Point in 1962, Dean Acheson observed that Britain had lost an empire and had still to find a new role. This book explains why, in the following years, as Britain's Labour government contemplated withdrawal from east of Suez, ministers came to see that Britain's future role would be as a force within Europe. To this end, and in order to gain entry into the European Economic Community, a close relationship with the Federal Republic of Germany would be essential. This account of Anglo-German relations during the 1960s reveals fascinating insights into how both governments reacted to a series of complex issues and why, despite differences which might have led to strains, a good understanding was maintained. Terry Macintyre's innovative approach brings together material covering NATO strategy, détente and European integration, making the volume fascinating and essential reading for students and enthusiasts of contemporary British and German political history. This book makes an important contribution to what we know about Cold War history, and should help to redefine some of the views about the relationship between Britain and Germany during the 1960s. ;

        Companion Animal Economics

        The Economic Impact of Companion Animals in the UK

        by Sophie Hall, Luke Dolling, Katie Bristow, Ted Fuller, Daniel S. Mills

        Succinct, highly readable and thought provoking, this important new text is designed to raise awareness of the potential economic impact of companion animals in the UK. It discusses the potential benefits and costs of companion animals to the economy and highlights the need for this matter to be thoroughly researched, given the potential scale of impact and the potential costs of ignoring this matter. The book includes: - case studies to illustrate the savings to the NHS that might be associated with companion animal ownership; - links to up-to-date tables and content that might form templates for use in other countries; and - highly readable information written by expert authors and key opinion leaders in the field. Inspired by the seminal Council for Science and Society (CSS) Report, Companion Animals in Society (1988), this work updates and extends its evaluation of the economic impact of companion animals on society and lays a benchmark for future development. This pivotal new book is important for policy makers at national and international levels and all those involved in animal welfare. ; Succinct, highly readable and thought provoking, this important new text is designed to raise awareness of the potential economic impact of companion animals in the UK.

        Frau Grubers Lager

        by Ted Barr

        Frau Grubers Lager Das Manifest der Asche des Hahns von Ted Barr Wo liegen die Grenzen des Bösen? Was ist der Sinn des Lebens am Abgrund des willkürlichen plötzlichen Todes? Was ist ein Leben hinter einem Elektrozaun Wert? Frau Grubers Lager ist ein spannendes Gleichnis über den Glauben der Menschen in ihrer dunkelsten Zeiten, mit Anklängen an George Orwells Meisterwerk Animal Farm. Eine Welt, in der Menschen wie Frau Gruber, Herr Schickl und ihre krankhaften Mitarbeiter leben, ist nicht die, in der wir leben. Obwohl ihre Welt in vielerlei Hinsicht ähnlich zu sein scheint, ist sie eher ein Parallel-Universum, einen Schritt von der Realität, die wir kennen, entfernt. Doch manchmal verschwimmen die Unterschiede und wir werden in diese Welt hinein gezogen. In diesem überraschenden und rätselhaften Roman wird der Leser langsam und vorsichtig in einen imaginären Mikrokosmos geführt – eine fantastische Welt, die poetisch und schrecklich, manchmal herzzerreißend und manchmal erschreckend ist, und in der das Leben nicht mehr ist als eine transparente Ware. Die Hähne als Menschen sind nur momentane Besucher in einem viel größeren Spektakel, dessen Bedeutung zu begreifen sie zu kurzsichtig sind (außer dem alten Hahn Ba Ba Loop, der wie die alten Propheten die Augen hat zu sehen, aber nicht über die Macht verfügt, etwas zu ändern). Die einzige Möglichkeit, in solchen schrecklichen Zeiten noch einen Sinn zu finden, ist die Verbannung der Zeit in die Erinnerung. Dies ist die Grundidee dieses Romans: menschlicher Glauben, Vergessen, Erinnern, und die Quintessenz des Lebens in einer unmöglichen Epoche. Obwohl der Ausgangspunkt des Romans eine Beschreibung der frühen Kindheit Adolf Hitlers ist, geht Frau Grubers Lager viel weiter, als nur eine Geschichte zu erzählen, die in vielerlei Hinsicht Parallelen zu Geschichte der europäischen Juden hat. Vielmehr wird ein Gleichnis der menschlichen Erfahrung im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert durch die Augen eines zeitgenössischen Helden des einundzwanzigsten Jahrhunderts entfaltet. Der Autor, Ted Barr, 54, hat einen Master-Abschluss in Wirtschaftswissenschaften und ist auf vielen Gebieten versiert, darunter deutsche Geschichte, Symbolik, Batallions- und Divisions-Taktik sowie Astronomie. Barr ist ein renommierter Künstler, spezialisiert auf Galaxien und andere Himmelskörper. Der Autor hat eine einzigartige Maltechnik entwickelt, die er in Workshops auf der ganzen Welt unterrichtet. Ted Barr ist der Gründer der Current Art Group, und seine künstlerische Tätigkeit kann auf seiner Website www.tedpaintings.com betrachtet werden. Eine hebräische Ausgabe von Frau Grubers Lager wurde erstmals in Israel im Jahr 2006 veröffentlicht. Ted Barrs erstes Buch, Krombee, ein Kinderbuch, erschien im Jahr 1990.

        Le Camp De Frau Gruber

        by Ted Barr

        Le Camp De Frau Gruber Le manifeste des cendres du coq par Ted Barr   Quelles sont les frontières du mal ? Que signifie la vie life on the verge au seuil d’une mort arbitraire soudaine ? Cela vaut-il la peine de vivre derrière une clôture électrifiée ? Le camp de Frau Gruber est une allégorie exaltante à propos de garder la foi en l’humanité dans ses périodes les plus noires ; elle rappelle fortement le chef d’œuvre de George Orwell La Ferme des animaux. Un monde dans lequel il existe des personnes telles que Frau Gruber, Herr Schickl, et leurs associés morbides n’est pas le même que celui dans lequel nous vivons. Bien que sous d nombreux aspects leur monde paraît lui ressembler, il constitue en fait davantage un univers parallèle, retiré de la réalité que nous connaissons. Et pourtant, par moments, le lecteur peut passer outre les différences et s’y laisser plonger. Dans ce roman surprenant et énigmatique, le lecteur se trouve doucement et lentement submergé dans un microcosme imaginaire – un monde fantastique, à la foi poétique et terrible, qui parfois brise le cœur et qui, à d’autres moments, horrifie, dans lequel la vie n’est guère plus qu’un accessoire transparent. Les coqs, en tant qu’êtres humains, sont seulement des visiteurs momentanés dans un scenario bien plus étendu, dont la signification est trop élevée pour eux pour la saisir (mis à part le vieux coq Ba Ba Loop qui, à l’instar des prophètes d’antan, a des yeux pour voir, mais ne possède pas le pouvoir de changer quoi que ce soit). La seule manière d’apporter une signification à des temps d’une horreur telle est de tout investir pour la mémoire, ce qui constitue le cadre dans lequel ce roman est fondé : la foi en l’homme, oublier, se souvenir et l’essence de la vie au sein d’une époque impossible. Bien que se démarquant d'une description, principalement évoquée, de la petite enfance d'Adolf Hitler, Le camp de Frau Gruber ne se contente pas de raconter une histoire qui est, en de nombreux points, parallèle à l'histoire du judaïsme européen. Ce livre se transforme, au contraire, en une fable sur l'expérience vécue par l’humanité entière au XXème siècle, écrite à travers les yeux du XXIème siècle comme une bravade contemporaine. L'auteur, Ted Barr, 54 ans, a une maîtrise en économie et des diplômes dans des zones d'intérêt variées, y compris l'histoire allemande, le symbolisme, les tactiques de bataillon et de division, ainsi qu’en astronomie. Barr est un artiste de renom, spécialisé dans les galaxies et autres éléments du ciel. L'auteur a développé une technique de peinture unique, qu’il enseigne dans des ateliers dans le monde entier. Barr est le fondateur du groupe Current Art, et l’on peut avoir un aperçu de son activité artistique sur son site d'art, www.tedpaintings.com. Une édition du Camp de Frau Gruber est parue pour la première fois en Israël, en hébreu, en 2006, suivant le premier livre de Barr, Krombee, un livre pour enfants paru en 1990.
