Der amerikanische Maler und Zeichner Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960 1988) gehört zu den schillerndsten Persönlichkeiten der Kunstgeschichte, seine Freundschaften mit Andy Warhol, Keith Haring und Madonna sind legendär. Die retrospektiv angelegte Publikation zeichnet die einzigartige künstlerische Entwicklung und kunsthistorische Bedeutung des bereits mit 27 Jahren auf tragische Weise verstorbenen Künstlerstars nach. Seine Werke sind von eben jener Intensität und Energie geprägt, die auch sein kurzes Leben bestimmten. In nur acht Jahren gelang es Basquiat nicht nur, vergleichbar Egon Schiele, ein umfassendes uvre zu schaffen, sondern auch neben der konzeptuellen Kunst und der Minimal Art neue figurative und expressive Elemente zu etablieren. Als 21-Jähriger wurde er zum bislang jüngsten documenta-Teilnehmer und entscheidenden Vorläufer der Jungen Wilden, aber auch der Kunst der 1990er-Jahre.

Stell dir vor: 24 Schüler der Klasse 5a und einer ist schlimmer als der andere. Unvorstellbar? Dann kennst du die schlimmste Klasse der Welt nicht! Hier herrscht Chaos pur: Zum Beispiel an dem Tag, als Hakim Frau Meiers Auto "umparkt" und es dabei im Schulteich versenkt. Oder als Ewald in der großen Pause ein geheimes Loch in die Wand zum Lehrerzimmer bohrt - mit fatalen Folgen für die Lehrer! Denn als Herr Krautmann kurze Zeit später Schreie aus der 5a hört und ihm einige seiner Schüler auf dem Flur panisch entgegenrennen, schwant ihm schon Böses! Bei dieser Klasse läuft eben selten etwas wie geplant - und am Ende halten sie dann auch noch zusammen wie Pech und Schwefel. Und was Pech und Schwefel bedeutet, muss natürlich auch gleich mal ausprobiert werden ...

Now in a third edition, Robert M. Sapolsky's acclaimed and successful Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers features new chapters on how stress affects sleep and addiction, as well as new insights into anxiety and personality disorder and the impact of spirituality on managing stress. As Sapolsky explains, most of us do not lie awake at night worrying about whether we have leprosy or malaria. Instead, the diseases we fear - and the ones that plague us now - are illnesses brought on by the slow accumulation of damage, such as heart disease and cancer. When we worry or experience stress, our body turns on the same physiological responses that an animal's does, but we do not resolve conflict in the same way - through fighting or fleeing. Over time, this activation of a stress response makes us literally sick.Combining cutting-edge research with a healthy dose of good humour and practical advice, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers explains how prolonged stress causes or intensifies a range of physical and mental afflictions, including depression, ulcers, colitis, heart disease, and more. It also provides essential guidance to controlling our stress responses.This new edition promises to be the most comprehensive and engaging one yet.

The real story of the crash began in bizarre feeder markets where the sun doesn't shine and the SEC doesn't dare, or bother, to tread: the bond and real estate derivative markets where geeks invent impenetrable securities to profit from the misery of lower- and middle-class Americans who can't pay their debts. The smart people who understood what was or might be happening were paralyzed by hope and fear; in any case, they weren't talking. Michael Lewis creates a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his No.1 bestseller Liar's Poker. Out of a handful of unlikely-really unlikely-heroes, Lewis fashions a story as compelling and unusual as any of his earlier bestsellers, proving yet again that he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our time.
A YAQUI WAY OF KNOWLEDGEThe teachings of don Juan is the story of a remarkable journey: the first awesome steps on the road to becoming a "man of knowledge" -- the road that continues with "A Separate Reality" and "Journey to Ixtlan.""For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel, looking, looking, breathlessly." -- Don Juan
16 Jahre trug Angela Merkel die Regierungsverantwortung für Deutschland, führte das Land durch zahlreiche Krisen und prägte mit ihrem Handeln und ihrer Haltung die deutsche und internationale Politik und Gesellschaft. Doch natürlich wurde Angela Merkel nicht als Kanzlerin geboren. In ihren gemeinsam mit ihrer langjährigen politischen Beraterin Beate Baumann verfassten Erinnerungen schaut sie zurück auf ihr Leben in zwei deutschen Staaten - 35 Jahre in der DDR, 35 Jahre im wiedervereinigten Deutschland. Persönlich wie nie zuvor erzählt sie von ihrer Kindheit, Jugend und ihrem Studium in der DDR und dem dramatischen Jahr 1989, in dem die Mauer fiel und ihr politisches Leben begann. Sie lässt uns teilhaben an ihren Treffen und Gesprächen mit den Mächtigsten der Welt und erhellt anhand bedeutender nationaler, europäischer und internationaler Wendepunkte anschaulich und präzise, wie Entscheidungen getroffen wurden, die unsere Zeit prägen. Ihr Buch bietet einen einzigartigen Einblick in das Innere der Macht - und ist ein entschiedenes Plädoyer für die Freiheit.

Get swept away by the New York Times bestseller that's sold almost 125,000 copies. As one by one her beautiful sisters mysteriously die on their isolated island estate, Annaleigh must unravel the curse that haunts her family."Step inside a fairy tale." Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of CaravalHaunting, atmospheric, and immersive. BustleNothing short of both haunting and mesmerizing . . . a perfect step into escapism and away from real life. HypableIn a manor by the sea, twelve sisters are cursed. Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor with her sisters and their father and stepmother. Once there were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four of the girls' lives have been cut short. Each death was more tragic than the last--the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery plunge--and there are whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the family is cursed by the gods. Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly suspicious that her sister's deaths were no accidents. The girls have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn't sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts. Because who--or what--are they really dancing with? When Annaleigh's involvement with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own intensifies, it's a race to unravel the darkness that has fallen over her family--before it claims her next. House of Salt and Sorrows is a spellbinding novel filled with magic and the rustle of gossamer skirts down long, dark hallways. Be careful who you dance with... And don't miss Erin Craig's Small Favors, a mesmerizing and chilling novel about dark wishes and even darker dreams.
Come č noto, "Allegro ma non troppo", raccoglie due piccoli saggi satirici, "Le leggi fondamentali della stupiditŕ umana" e "Il ruolo delle spezie (e del pepe in particolare) nello sviluppo economico del Medioevo". Meno noto č che entrambi erano stati scritti in inglese e stampati dal Mulino in edizione strettamente privata negli anni Settanta. Questo piccolo volume rende per la prima volta disponibile l'edizione originale delle "Leggi", ponendo fine al paradosso di un testo che č stato tradotto in una dozzina di lingue senza essere mai stato letto cosě come l'autore l'ha scritto. Tornare all'originale č qualcosa di piů di un esercizio filologico: la versione inglese esalta infatti lo humour in perfetto stile british di Cipolla consegnando al lettore, ancor piů rafforzato, il capolavoro di sorridente perfidia che ha reso "Allegro ma non troppo" un autentico cult book.

"Read this book, strengthen your resolve, and help us all return to reason." —JORDAN PETERSON*USA TODAY NATIONAL BESTSELLER*There's a war against truth... and if we don't win it, intellectual freedom will be a casualty.The West’s commitment to freedom, reason, and true liberalism has never been more seriously threatened than it is today by the stifling forces of political correctness.Dr. Gad Saad, the host of the enormously popular YouTube show THE SAAD TRUTH, exposes the bad ideas—what he calls "idea pathogens”—that are killing common sense and rational debate. Incubated in our universities and spread through the tyranny of political correctness, these ideas are endangering our most basic freedoms—including freedom of thought and speech.The danger is grave, but as Dr. Saad shows, politically correct dogma is riddled with logical fallacies. We have powerful weapons to fight back with—if we have the courage to use them.A provocative guide to defending reason and intellectual freedom and a battle cry for the preservation of our fundamental rights, The Parasitic Mind will be the most controversial and talked-about book of the year.

If humanity cannot live with the dangers and responsibilities inherent in freedom, it will probably turn to authoritarianism. This is the central idea of "Escape from Freedom," a landmark work by one of the most distinguished thinkers of our time, and a book that is as timely now as when first published in 1941. Few books have thrown such light upon the forces that shape modern society or penetrated so deeply into the causes of authoritarian systems. If the rise of democracy set some people free, at the same time it gave birth to a society in which the individual feels alienated and dehumanized. Using the insights of psychoanalysis as probing agents, Fromm's work analyzes the illness of contemporary civilization as witnessed by its willingness to submit to totalitarian rule.

When high speed internet became widely available a few years ago, growing numbers of people began to worry that their porn use was running out of control. Far from preparing them for fulfilling relationships, viewing an endless stream of porn videos led to unexpected symptoms. Perhaps most surprisingly, for the first time in history erectile dysfunction was becoming a significant problem for young men. This led to one of the largest informal experiments in the history of science. Tens of thousands of people have tried abstaining from sexually stimulating material in a process they call 'rebooting'. Many of them reported startling changes, from improved concentration and elevated mood to a greater capacity for real-life intimacy.Gary Wilson has listened to the stories of those who have tried giving up internet porn and related them to an account of how the reward system of the brain interacts with its environment. And now a growing body of research in neuroscience is confirming what these pioneers have discovered for themselves - internet pornography can be seriously addictive and damaging.In Your Brain on Porn Wilson provides a concise introduction to the phenomenon of internet porn addiction that draws on both first-person accounts and the findings of cognitive neuroscience. In a voice that is generous and humane, he also offers advice for those who want to stop using internet pornography.The publication of Your Brain on Porn is a landmark in our attempts to understand, and remain balanced in, a world where addiction is big business.

"Schluss mit Romantik", sagte sich der renommierte Erotikfotograf Stefan Soell, nachdem er mit seinen beiden opulenten Bildbänden "Alpenglühn" und "Volcanic Girls" großartige Erfolge feiern durfte. Nun musste ein völlig neuer, moderner Stil her - und das ist ihm auf überzeugende Art und Weise gelungen. Drei lange Jahre lange suchte er nach dem Frauentyp, der ihm vorschwebte: Irgendwo zwischen junger und erfolgreicher, cooler Business-Woman und glamouröser Traumfrau angesiedelt. Natürlich voller Schönheit, fantastisch gebaut und mit einem selbstsicheren, frechen Auftreten den eigenen Sexappeal ganz ungeniert zur Schau stellend. Entdeckt hat Soell vollkommen neue, noch nie gesehene Gesichter (und Körper ...), und alle inszenierte er in ihrer herrlichen Nacktheit in einem neuen Umfeld: in topmoderner, minimalistischer Architektur vom Feinsten. Der Kontrast zwischen den wundervollen, warmen Hauttönen und sinnlichen Körperformen und der kühlen, modernen Architektur könnte nicht größer sein - gerade die ungewohnte Kombination von heißer Erotik und kühlem Design erhöht den Reiz dieses Bildbandes ungemein. Diese zwei Formensprachen vereinigen sich hier zu einem optischen Vergnügen mit 33 begehrenswerten Klassefrauen. Die vorliegende Sonderausgabe in Paperback ist erweitert und bietet zahlreiche zusätzliche Fotos. Viel Vergnügen!

To be dressed historically correct as a medieval re-enactor - it could not be simpler: the range of garments that those interested in the Middle Ages can now make themselves stretches from High to late Middle Ages (1200 to 1500), and from a simple maid to lower gentry. Panels with lifelike, coloured illustrations revive the different medieval classes through their clothing and accessories. Clear, easily understandable pictures lead you through all the processes. Starting with the sewing techniques used in the Middle Ages even the layman learns how to neaten fabric edges, attach sleeves and make cloth buttons. "The colourful pictures and rich illustrations penned by Rolf Fuhrmann turn looking at this book into a pure treat and add to Wolf Zerkowski's texts perfectly." (Jürgen Ludwig, website landsknechtsportal) "Thus this book is truly a great work, and surely an enrichment for those who seek a fundamental, practical approach to medieval fashion." (Pax Et Gaudium, 2004),
