 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Theatre of Kander and Ebb Uus! GTIN: 9781350107090 Raamatud Discover John Kander and Fred Ebb, the most artistically and commercially successful musical theatre writing team since Rodgers and Hammerstein, in a brand new way.Identifying the theatrical approach that renders their musical dramaturgy unique, this book explores their importance within, and contribution to, musical theatre history. Through their biggest hits, Cabaret (1966) and Chicago (1975), Kander and Ebb have been performed on the stage more times both within and outside of the USA than any other American musical theatre writers. Unlike Sondheim, whose work from 1964 increasingly aspired towards the avant-garde. Kander and Ebb located their projects in a nexus between art and commercial entertainment, seeking to deconstruct popular forms in order to expose their ideological function.This book investigates the full range of Kander and Ebb's collaboration from the pure comic entertainment of 70, Girls, 70 (1971) and Curtains (2006) to more overtly serious musicals such as The Kiss of the Spiderwoman (1992), The Scottsboro Boys (2010) and The Visit (2014), which were less commercially successful precisely because they addressed disturbing subjects. It explores how the difficult material inspired beautiful, though challenging, scores. It also probes how the ironic counterpointing of luscious music with witty and demotic lyrics makes complex demands of a Broadway audience, challenging its desire for escapist entertainment, devoid of critical self-reflection, to becomes complex, yet popular, masterpieces of the genre.This is the first volume to explicitly analyse the recurrent theatrical tropes and dramaturgical forms in Kander and Ebb's musicals, offering an in-depth introduction to their oeuvre.

 ERIS River of Becoming: The Life and Times of Lucas Samaras Uus! GTIN: 9781912475582 Raamatud Lucas Samaras was one of the great avant-garde artists of the last few decades. Renowned both for his use of fabrics and for his deployment of everyday objects in his installations, he was perhaps best known for his work in photography, where he frequently took himself as a subject. This lavishly illustrated volume is the authoritative biography of a consummate self-portraitist and a riveting depiction of a paradoxical personality: of an artist whose work in the 1960s and 70s prefigured the vindicated narcissism of the selfie era, but who also showed every sign of being a quiet and agoraphobic maverick at war with the mindset of calculated sociability.From his sensitive evocation of Samarass childhood in wartime Greece through to his perceptive interpretation of the artists career in the United States, Michael Skafidas has produced an outstanding account of his subjects life and work. It is also an intriguing record of his own relationship with Samaras, and a powerful meditation on the art of life-writing. A lavishly illustrated volume is the authoritative biography of a consummate self-portraitist and a riveting depiction of a paradoxical personality.

 The University of Michigan Press Natural Contract Uus! GTIN: 9780472065493 Raamatud Global environmental change, argues Michel Serres, has forced us to reconsider our relationship to nature. In this translation of his influential 1990 bookLe Contrat Naturel, Serres calls for a natural contract to be negotiated between Earth and its inhabitants.World history is often referred to as the story of human conflict. Those struggles that are seen as our history must now include the uncontrolled violence that humanity perpetrates upon the earth, and the uncontrollable menace to human life posed by the earth in reaction to this violence. Just as a social contract once brought order to human relations, Serres believes that we must now sign a "natural contract" with the earth to bring balance and reciprocity to our relations with the planet that gives us life. Our survival depends on the extent to which humans join together and act globally, on an earth now conceived as an entity.Tracing the ancient beginnings of modernity, Serres examines the origins and possibilities of a natural contract through an extended meditation on the contractual foundations of law and science. By invoking a nonhuman, physical world, Serres asserts, science frees us from the oppressive confines of a purely social existence, but threatens to become a totalitarian order in its own right. The new legislator of the natural contract must bring science and law into balance.Serres ends his meditation by retelling the story of the natural contract as a series of parables. He sees humanity as a spacecraft that with the help of science and technology has cast off from familiar moorings. In place of the ties that modernity and analytic reason have severed, we find a network of relations both stranger and stronger than any we once knew, binding us to one another and to the world. The philosopher's harrowing and joyous task, Serres tells us, is that of comprehending and experiencing the bonds of violence and love that unite us in our spacewalk to the spaceship Mother Earth."Wise, rich and poetic . . . not simply a philosophical study of the Environment, or an ecological questioning of Philosophy . . . Nature is acknowledged as an inside force which breaks (the philosopher's] discourse, and opens it up to a vigilant poetic meditation."--Substance: A Review of Theory and Literary Criticism Meditations on environmental change and the necessity of a pact between Earth and its inhabitants Global environmental change, argues Michel Serres, has forced us to reconsider our relationship to nature.

 Princeton University Press Everlasting Empire: The Political Culture of Ancient China and Its Imperial Legacy Uus! GTIN: 9780691134956 Raamatud Established in 221 BCE, the Chinese empire lasted for 2,132 years before being replaced by the Republic of China in 1912. During its two millennia, the empire endured internal wars, foreign incursions, alien occupations, and devastating rebellions--yet fundamental institutional, sociopolitical, and cultural features of the empire remained intact. The Everlasting Empire traces the roots of the Chinese empire's exceptional longevity and unparalleled political durability, and shows how lessons from the imperial past are relevant for China today. Yuri Pines demonstrates that the empire survived and adjusted to a variety of domestic and external challenges through a peculiar combination of rigid ideological premises and their flexible implementation. The empire's major political actors and neighbors shared its fundamental ideological principles, such as unity under a single monarch--hence, even the empire's strongest domestic and foreign foes adopted the system of imperial rule. Yet details of this rule were constantly negotiated and adjusted. Pines shows how deep tensions between political actors including the emperor, the literati, local elites, and rebellious commoners actually enabled the empire's basic institutional framework to remain critically vital and adaptable to ever-changing sociopolitical circumstances. As contemporary China moves toward a new period of prosperity and power in the twenty-first century, Pines argues that the legacy of the empire may become an increasingly important force in shaping the nation's future trajectory.

 Casemate Publishers Defeat and Attrition of the 12. SS-Panzerdivision Hitlerjugend: Volume I: The Normandy Bridgehead Battles 711 June 1944 Uus! GTIN: 9781636243474 Raamatud A new analysis of the German military response to the eastern side of the Normandy Bridgehead. Following the Normandy invasion of 6 June, 1944, Heersgruppe B under German Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel rushed reserves to the newly created bridgehead in order to crush it and drive the Allied forces into the sea. One of these armored reserves was the newly created 12. SS-Panzer-Division Hitlerjugend. Extremely well equipped and at near full strength by mid-1944 standards, it was seen as an extremely capable formation that could defeat any Allied invasion.During this period studied in this volume, 7-11 June 1944, the 12. SS-Panzer-Division attempted to capture and hold the battlefield initiative, and in conjunction with other Panzer-Divisionen, throw what would become the Second British Army into the sea. The main thesis presented will be that despite this division's best efforts, it was defeated by a firm Allied defence that repulsed their offensive operations, eventually robbing the Germans of the initiative in a grinding series of bridgehead battles.This first volume will study combat in the period 7-11 June 1944 in the eastern sector of the Normandy Bridgehead. Chapters will analyze the Anglo-Canadian D-Day assault and the deployment of the division, then analyze in detail the fighting of the Hitlerjugend in the following areas: northern Caen, Putot, Bretteville l'Orgueilleuse, Norrey-en-Bessin, Hill 103, Le-Mesnil-Patry, and finally Rots. Also studied will be contrasting German and Anglo-Canadian tactical doctrine, the influence of tactical airpower, and the war crimes committed by the Hitlerjugend immediately after the invasion.The conclusion will reinforce the thesis presented above and a detailed set of appendices will analyze German personnel, equipment, and armored losses during the battles, and losses inflicted on the Allies. This will be Volume 1 of a planned multi-volume commitment. Autorid: Arthur W Gullachsen | 2 | 28,09 € | Vaata | ||
 Fordham University Press Dread Heights: Tribulation and Refuge After the Syrian Revolution New edition Uus! GTIN: 9781531510329 Raamatud Muslim charities and community organizations have assumed a significant role in refugee support since the Syrian catastrophe: in Jordan and Canada, as elsewhere, they deliver food aid, house orphans, and organize remedial education. But Islam is more than just a resource for humanitarian projects. The Dread Heights details how the Islamic tradition guides refugees, relief workers, and religious scholars in a world of brutal sieges and mass displacement.Through an ethnography of religious imagination and theological argumentation, Iqbal demonstrates what is at stake beyond secular frames for migration and relief. Even as refugees become objects of humanitarian concern suspended between national orders, The Dread Heights brings another suspension into view: a form of life whose gestures are illuminated by the Quranic figure of the Heights. Iqbals ethnography pursues an unsentimental lucidity across the search for refuge, the trials of creational existence, and the ultimately enigmatic divine decree. In the shadow of war, beyond humanitarian order, Islam offers an orientation to the devastation of the present. Understanding the devastation of the Syrian war through the Islamic tradition.

 Pen & Sword Books Ltd Real Oscar Wilde Uus! GTIN: 9781399058988 Raamatud Born to over achieving parents during the conservative and bourgeois Victorian period, in 1854, Oscar Fingal OFlahertie Wills Wilde would become one of Irelands finest poets and playwrights.The moulding of the real Oscar Wilde was shaped by his formative years, education and experiences, but he would continue to evolve and change as a poet, aesthete, a playwright, political thinker, essayist, husband, father, lover and even while he was prisoner. He was a complex and sometimes contradictory man, and was in many ways, ahead of the times in which he lived in.His professional successes including The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Importance of Being Ernest and A Woman of No Importance, to name but a few, are some of the most quoted works in modern times.But it is his personal life and the Victorian scandal that he caused in 1895 that Wilde is most remembered for today. Just after his second son was born, Wilde started to explore his sexuality. This new personal liberation and happiness would lead to meeting Lord Alfred Bosie Douglas. At the height of his success, Wildes life and the lives of his wife and children changed forever after a libel suit that lead to criminal charges and then to prison.Wildes time as a prisoner and his life after prison were filled with physical and mental illness, sadness, tragedy and loneliness that all contributed to his death in 1900. The real Oscar Wilde can be found in the legacy of work that he left behind, the lives of his two sons, Cyril and Vyvyan, and how his story had become important to the modern LGBTQ communities well into the twenty-first century. Born to over achieving parents during the conservative and bourgeois Victorian period, in 1854, Oscar Fingal OFlahertie Wills Wilde would become one of Irelands finest poets and playwrights.

 Columbia University Press The Colonization of Names: Symbolic Violence and Frances Occupation of Algeria Uus! GTIN: 9780231216012 Raamatud This groundbreaking history of personal names in nineteenth-century Algeria sheds new light on the symbolic violence of renaming and the relationship between language and colonialism. French colonization dismantled Algerian names. Under the occupation that began in 1830, not only were Algerian towns and streets renamed in honor of French figures, but personal names were forced to follow French conventions and norms. Colonial authorities simplified and transformed Algerian names to suit their administrative and legal purposes, crudely transcribing and transliterating Arabic and Berber. They imposed a two-part name and surname model that stripped away the extended family ties and social context inherent to precolonial naming practices.This groundbreaking history of personal names in nineteenth-century Algeria sheds new light on the symbolic violence of renaming and the relationship between language and colonialism. Benjamin Claude Brower traces the changes Algerians personal names suffered during the colonial era and the consequences for individuals and society. Frances imposition of new names, he argues, destabilized Algerians sense of self and place in the community, distorted local identities, and compromised institutions such as the family. Drawing on previously unstudied records, Brower examines different northwestern African naming traditions and how colonialism changed them. With the aid of literary and critical theory, he develops new insights into the name and its relationship to power and subjectivity. A rigorous theoretical and historical account of symbolic violence, The Colonization of Names unveils many unseen forms of harm under colonial rule.

Lindon has taken his first step on the road to power, but the sacred artists of the world outside his homeland are still far beyond him. To advance, he turns to the arcane skills of the Soulsmiths, who craft weapons from the stuff of souls. With new powers come new enemies, but also new allies, including a mysterious mentor who seems interested in Lindon for his own purposes. Even with new training and new help, Lindon is still only a Copper, and he soon finds himself facing down an entire sect of enemy Golds. SERIES DESCRIPTION The Cradle series is the best-selling example of the Progression Fantasy subgenre, which includes works of fantasy where the primary plot revolves around a character growing more powerful in their use of magic. Cradle is high-stakes, fast-paced, and action-focused, with minimal time dedicated to world-building, and as such the books are lean and focused. The series is often compared to anime, with fans using phrases like anime in book form or fantasy novels meet Dragon Ball Z, emphasizing the storys specialty of loud and colorful super-powered battles.

 Princeton University Press Walter Lippmann: An Intellectual Biography Uus! GTIN: 9780691215211 Raamatud The life and ideas of one of the twentieth centurys leading political thinkersWalter Lippmann (18891974) was among the most influential and wide-ranging political writers in modern America. As both a journalist and political theorist, he shaped ideas about liberalism and democracy, the nature of public opinion, US power and empire, and the roles of journalists, experts, and citizens. Tom Arnold-Forster provides a bold historical reassessment of Lippmanns intellectual life, offering fresh perspectives on a career at the intersection of daily news and democratic theory.This incisive book shows how Lippmann helped define the public debates of American liberalism from the Progressive Era to the Cold War. By exploring his ideas in their historical context, Arnold-Forster challenges the claim that Lippmann was primarily a theorist of expertise and technocracy. Instead, Lippmann emerges as a strikingly political thinker, public-facing and multifarious, who focused on what politics meant and how it worked in modern democracies. Covering subjects from press freedom to urban reform to economic and foreign policy, while tracing the evolution from his early liberal socialism to later conservative liberalism, this book explores Lippmanns thought as reflecting the protean character of liberal politics and the crises and paradoxes of democracy.Walter Lippmann: An Intellectual Biography is a richly historical account of a complex political thinker. Lippmanns ideas played a formative role in the twentieth century and resonate powerfully with our fraught present. Autorid: Tom Arnold-Forster | 1 | 43,30 € | Vaata | ||

 Wakefield Press Employee Uus! GTIN: 9781962728058 Raamatud Sternbergs rule-breaking, genre-defying novel upends the humdrum workday world A nameless employee stands outside the door to an office, hesitating to enter because he is five minutes late. This banal opening then launches into a frenetic narrative that switches genres, modes and universes with abandon. From an account of his feral childhood with a nymphomaniacal mother, to his early development of a third arm and a second head, the employee unspools his subsequent life as department-store wrapper, ladder-descending bureaucrat, traveling salesman, murder suspect and other occupations. Years return and reverse through a series of inflicted hellscapes as a tension builds between an untrammeled imagination willing to commit any crime and the inescapable rigidity of the mind. First published in French by Les Éditions de Minuit in 1958, The Employee was awarded the Grand Prix de lHumour Noir in 1961. This first English-language translation presents an entropic exercise of the imagination that will leave readers bewildered and breathless. Jacques Sternberg (19232006) was a literary maverick, who wrote over 50 books that roamed freely through genre and influence without ever adhering to anything that might threaten constraint. He was briefly a member of the Panic Movement, founded by Fernando Arrabal, Alejandro Jodorowsky and Roland Topor. Autorid: Jacques Sternberg, Matt Seidel | 1 | 20,60 € | Vaata | ||

 University of Pennsylvania Press Break in the Future: Feeling Like an Activist After the Arab Uprisings Uus! GTIN: 9781512828061 Raamatud Investigates how Lebanese activists work through failure to keep the possibility of political change aliveA Break in the Future considers how activists keep hope alive and work toward future change when social movements fall apart and protests fail. Anthropologist Fuad Musallam investigates the endurance of political possibility in Beirut, Lebanon, between the Arab uprisings of 201011 and the Lebanese uprising of October 2019. Despite a regional collapse of political hope and a local inability to effect change in the context of political stasis, postponed elections, and the degradation of civil infrastructure, between every protest cycle a sizable number of people remained engaged and built toward future political opportunities. Through an analysis of activist strategies, Musallam explores the ways in which we grasp different phases of political (dis)engagement together. The book is motivated by a desire to better understand how to keep political possibility alive.To make sense of how possibility endures, this book looks at the ebb and flow of political engagement together, that is, not only at the peaks of recent mobilizations but also at the times in between when, at first glance, little seems to be happening on the ground. Musallam explores how activists cultivated and maintained their political subjectivitythe active and engaged sense of self that motivates political actionacross the decades high and low points. He finds this political subjectivity to be the product of heartbreak and defeat as much as victory, as it underlies several movements at any one time and can sustain activists through multiple setbacks.Musallam discovers that when political change seems most unlikely, a moment of ruptureor a break in the futurebecomes central to Lebanese activists belief that their actions can and will transform their world. A Break in the Future ultimately argues that the experience of moments of rupture radically transforms what seems possible, and that the cultivation of these experiences keeps movements going even when things appear to fall apart.

 Helion & Company Leipzig - The Battle of Nations: A Wargamer's Guide to the Battle of Leipzig 1813 Uus! GTIN: 9781804510100 Raamatud The Battle of Leipzig was the biggest battle of the Napoleonic wars, involving over 500,000 men. Until the First World War, it was probably the biggest battle in human history. It was also known as the Battle of the Nations because it pitted the forces of France and its satellite states and allies (including Italians, Poles and forces from the minor German states), against those of Russia, Prussia, Austria and Sweden. The fate of Europe hung in the balance. Napoleons defeat decided the outcome of the campaign of 1813 and pushed the French back to France.The battle took place over several days (14-19 October 1813 including the battle of Liebertwolkwitz), and naturally breaks down into distinct phases and sectors. This guide helps wargamers refight the battle on a table top with model soldiers, either as one large battle (suitable as a club game), or broken down into a series of smaller battles covering the different sectors. The smaller battles can be played as individual games or linked together in a mini-campaign, the latter giving strategic dilemmas for each of the commanders to resolve.The guide sets out the strategic situation in central Europe and contains a thorough but clear account of the historical battle. It provides detailed orders of battle of the opposing armies, scaled down orders of battle for game purposes, maps of the historical events, stylized maps for laying out wargames tables, and instructions for each scenario and the mini-campaign. Design notes explain the rationale and historical background to the scenario instructions.The scenario maps are set out on square grids for ease of setting up tabletop terrain. Any set of wargames rules for the period should be able to be used to play the scenarios. The key points for the game army lists are the number of units and their quality. There is a section that discusses the quality of the troops of the various nations involved.A discussion of the historical battle raises questions about the decisions made by the actual commanders. These can be explored by the wargame commanders, for example by their allocation of forces to different sectors (within historical constraints), their deployment within those sectors, or timing their use of reserves. Was Napoleons defeat inevitable? Wargaming is a form of counter-factual history, and the guide includes a variation which may answer the question, What if Napoleon had recalled the Dresden garrison? Napoleon had agreed with Marshall St.Cyr that it would be madness to leave his 50,000 men in Dresden rather than concentrate French forces for the decisive battle Napoleon was seeking. What if Napoleon had not changed his mind? The guide breaks the battle down into sector scenarios which can be linked into a mini-campaign. It includes an account of historical events, detailed orders of battle, scaled down army lists for game purposes, maps of the historical events, and stylized maps for laying out wargames tables.

 London Publishing Partnership Modern Economic History of Japan: Sho Ga Nai (It Is What It Is) Uus! GTIN: 9781916749399 Raamatud The modern economic history of Japan is an extraordinary tale. The country rose over the course of just a hundred and twenty odd years from outright backwardness to the elite tier of the most advanced economies. This was a unique achievement, and one realised despite the nation succumbing to a damaging interlude of ugly totalitarianism and subsequently suffering the most demoralising of military defeats. If Japans progress before World War II was impressive, the decades following its subjugation and occupation by the US saw it record hitherto unheard of rates of economic growth. By the 1980s, such was Japans record of unrelenting achievement, not only did it spawn a rising tide of political resentment among its competitors, but it also encouraged them to adopt important aspects of the countrys economic model. The belief at this time, both at home and abroad, was that Japans success was set to continue. Such predictions, however, proved wide of the mark. The powerful forces that had driven its post-war boom had already been waning for some time, and its model of economic development was becoming increasingly ill-suited to the requirements of high-income country status. Its rapid rate of expansion became more and more dependent on the unsustainable combination of asset price inflation and the rapid accumulation of private, in particular corporate, debt. This was bound to end in tears, and it did, although the extent of Japans subsequent fall from grace came as a surprise to most. By the early 2020s, Japan was again a far away country about which relatively little was known and a dwindling proportion cared less. Only a minority were aware, apart from in vague terms, of Japans initial meteoric rise from impoverished backwater, the nature and extent of its wartime calamity, its remarkable mid-twentieth century economic miracle, and the manner in which it came to be held up as the exemplar for other nations. Instead, Japanification had emerged as a derogatory byword for stagnation. But this was to undersell a still vitally important mature and sophisticated economy and to ignore the enduring lessons that Japans experience could offer. These extended beyond the process of successful and enduring economic development, to the management of asset price cycles and the currency markets, the complexities of combating deflation, the painful trade offs implicit in successful structural reform, and perhaps most pertinently of all, how best to deal with the inexorable forces of demographic change. ******** Autorid: Russell Jones | 1 | 43,23 € | Vaata | ||

Hybrid beings and creatures refer to Japanese fairy tales and sayings and allow the invisible to become visiblea magical world that refuses to let you go.

 Chess Elevation Benoni Mayhem: Chess Opening Repertoire Uus! GTIN: 9781836840176 Raamatud Experienced chess coach and author Andrew Martin introduces the reader to a number of weird and wonderful variations based on the Benoni structure. Blacks dynamism takes White players outside their comfort zone and forces them onto their own resources. One of the sharpest lines to meet 1 d4 is the Modern Benoni (1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 c5 3 d5 e6 4 Nc3 exd5 5 cxd5 d6). The hallmark of this opening is that Black makes the positional concession of allowing White a central majority and in return hopes for counterchances via active piece play. However, there are many other weird and wonderful ways to handle these "Benoni structures" as the very experienced chess coach and author Andrew Martin demonstrates in this highly engaging book.Martin introduces the reader to (amongst others) the Vulture (1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 c5 3 d5 Ne4), the Clarendon Court (1 d4 c5 2 d5 f5) and the Snake Benoni (1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 c5 3 d5 e6 4 Nc3 exd5 5 cxd5 Bd6!?). All of these are outlandish tries but nevertheless set White difficult problems to solve at the board. In other systems Black plays "Nimzo-style" and jettisons the dark-squared bishop in order to inflict weaknesses on the white pawn structure. One typical line is 1 d4 g6 2 c4 Bg7 3 Nc3 c5 4 d5 and now 4 ... Bxc3+!? 5 dxc3. This is a line favoured by elite grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura who has used it frequently in blitz and rapid chess. An advantage of playing this way is that it will usually take well booked up White players outside their comfort zone and force them onto their own resources.If you want to inject a big dose of dynamism into your play with Black, the create some mayhem in the Benoni.

 Oxford University Press Inc Creating and Transforming the Twentieth Century, Revised and Expanded: Technical Innovations and Their Lasting Impact Uus! GTIN: 9780197784648 Raamatud "The greatest technical discontinuity in history took place between 1867 and 1914. This era was distinguished by the most extraordinary concatenation of scientific and technical advances the synergy of which produced bold and imaginative innovations resulting in profound socio-economic impacts. Detailed examinations of these epoch-making advances start with electricity (dynamos, steam turbines, transformers, light bulbs, electric motors, power plants, transmission) and internal combustion engines (automotive designs by Otto, Diesel, Daimler, Maybach. Benz, Ford, aeroengines) before looking at inventions in material production, from metallurgy (affordable steel, aluminum) and cement to powerful explosives and the synthesis of ammonia and at advances in information (from papermaking and typesetting to photographs and movies) and communication (from telephones, phonographs and records to radio). Post-World War I inventions and innovations transformed all of these techniques by making them more efficient, more durable, more reliable, more affordable, and environmentally more acceptable, and brought new accomplishments in energy conversions (oil and gas industry, gas turbines, nuclear electricity generation), materials (new ways of steel production, plastics,herbicides, pesticides, silicon), rationalized production (automation, robotization, quality control) and transportation (freeways, jetliners, rapid trains, large tankers, container shipping), while the advances in solid-state electronics enabled the ageof computing, microprocessors and access to instant global communication and information (personal computers, mobile phones, WWW). The Age of Synergy and the post-1914 transformations technical transformation created a new, increasingly anthropogenic, world of high-energy societies whose most worrisome obverse has been the large-scale environmental degradation"-- Creating and Transforming the Twentieth Century combines two of Vaclav Smil's seminal works in a revised and expanded edition. Creating the Twentieth Century explores the period between 1867 and 1914, a time of unparalleled innovation that laid the groundwork for modern civilization. It investigates the birth of an expansive society driven by the synergy of fuels, science, and technical innovation. Key inventions from this era include dynamite, the telephone, photographic film, and the first light bulbs in the 1870s, followed by electricity-generating plants, electric motors, steam turbines, and cars in the 1880s. The period of extraordinary discovery continues into the early 20th century with the advent of airplanes, tractors, radio signals, and plastics. Smil systematically examines four fundamental classes of innovations: the formation and standardization of electric systems, the rapid adoption of internal combustion engines, the surge in chemical syntheses and material substitutions, and the dawn of the information age. This interdisciplinary account highlights the epochal consequences of these advancements, leading to high-energy societies engaged in mass production aimed at improving living standards.Transforming the Twentieth Century investigates how these technical advances shaped the decades that followed. It examines how the 20th century differed from the preceding 100 years due to unprecedented combinations of technical progress. Smil discusses the remarkable pace and ambition of 20th-century advancements, which elevated industrial production to new heights and tackled previously insurmountable challenges. He addresses the themes of electricity, engines, materials, and information techniques, and critically examines the contradictory consequences of technological progress--including liberating simplicity versus overwhelming complexity, unprecedented affluence versus economic disparities, and increased security versus new fears. This new edition contains numerous updates to the original books and features a new preface and a final chapter examining key themes in light of major 21st-century events and publications. Now in a single volume, these classic texts remain central to Smil's acclaimed oeuvre, and their lessons are perennially fascinating.

 JRP Editions Vivian Suter: Disco Uus! GTIN: 9783037646281 Raamatud Suters large, gestural canvases propose a colorful and style-free ode to the possibilities of paintingSumptuously illustrated, this publication on the Argentine Swiss artist Vivian Suter (born 1949) offers an immersive approach to her painting practice. Based in Panajachel, Guatemala, since 1982, Suter works on her paintings both indoors and outdoors, allowing the natural elements of the subtropical ecosystem to permeate her work. Traces of rain, sunlight, flora and fauna often inhabit her unstretched canvases painted with swaths of color, expressing her close interaction with external factors and her break with the traditional notion of authorship. Her gestural works are the result of a daily physical and emotional relationship with the materials and the contingencies of nature in her immediate surroundings. Published to accompany her international touring exhibition, this monograph also documents Suters unique studio environment which is central to her practice, and is interspersed with the artists poetry, prose, songs and aphorisms.

 William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company Imitation in Early Christianity: Mimesis and Religious-Ethical Formation Uus! GTIN: 9780802879929 Raamatud "A study of how mimesis, as discussed in early Christian literature and influenced by Greco-Roman culture, functioned as a religious-ethical concept that shaped early Christians' conduct and character"-- What did exhortations to follow Jesus or imitate Christ mean to early Christians? Cornelis Bennema examines mimesis as a religious-ethical concept in early Christianitythe imitation of Jesus (and other exemplars) to become a better, more Christlike person. Situating appeals for imitation in the New Testament and Apostolic Fathers within the cultural and social context of the broader Greco-Roman world, Bennema shows how early Christian mimesis was not about literal replication, but instead was a creative, cognitive, and transformative means for shaping conduct and character. As part of this study, Bennema explores key questions about the historic origins of early Christian mimesis; the language that early Christian authors used to articulate the concept of mimesis; the scope, nature, and workings of mimesis in each major section of early Christian literature; and how early Christians navigated the challenges of imitating exemplars (such as Paul or Jesus) who were not physically present. Offering well-researched answers to these questions, Bennema provides readers with a nuanced and informative picture of exhortations to imitation in the New Testament and Apostolic Fathers.

 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Royal Traditions and the Consolidation of Power by Alexanders Successors Uus! GTIN: 9781350399129 Raamatud Examining the period of political consolidation after Alexander the Great's death, John Holton reconstructs how the successors used new frameworks of royal ideology to create long-term kingships. There is a particular focus on the deeper manoeuvres within the inter-generational impact raging from the influence of religion and family relations, to succession-planning and royal funerals. In this innovative book, Holton expertly reveals how powerful elites either succeeded or failed in creating lasting dynastic power. From the chaos of a collapsing empire to the solidification of a new model for autocratic power, the consolidation of the institution of Hellenistic kingship across the generation of Alexander's successors (323-276 BC) is comprehensively investigated. With a comparative perspective and detailed studies of diverse evidence, this is the first dedicated study of the consolidation of Hellenistic kingship and the first to put these beginnings in an international context.
