This is the indispensable bible of photography in the 20th century. The history of photography began over a century and a half ago, but only relatively recently has it been fully recognised as a medium in its own right. Cologne's Museum Ludwig was the first museum of contemporary art to devote a substantial section to international photography. The L. Fritz Gruber collection, from which this book is drawn, is one of the most important in Germany and one of the most representative anywhere in the world, constituting the core of the museum's holdings. This book provides a fascinating insight into the collection's rich diversity; from conceptual art to abstraction to reportage, all of the major movements and genres are represented via a vast selection of the century's most remarkable photographs. From Ansel Adams to Piet Zwart, over 850 works are presented in alphabetical order by photographer, with descriptive texts and photographers' biographical details, providing a comprehensive and indispensable overview of 20th century photography.

Scored by Thomas F. Heck for solo violin with classical guitar accompaniment, this collection includes pieces from Volumes 1-3 of the Suzuki Violin School. Heck, a guitarist and Suzuki parent, intended the arrangements to serve as interesting alternative accompaniments to the Violin School repertoire. The contrapuntal interest and enriched timbral possibilities of the violin-with-guitar combination result in unusually appealing chamber music performance pieces suited for young musicians. The intermediate to advanced level classical guitar notation is supplemented by chord symbols to enable non-classically trained guitarists to accompany the violin line. Contents are: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star Theme and Variations (Shinichi Suzuki) * Song of the Wind (Folk Song) * Go Tell Aunt Rhody (Folk Song) * O Come, Little Children (Folk Song) * May Song (Folk Song) * Long, Long Ago (T.H.

Tildas Tage sind strikt durchgetaktet: studieren, an der Supermarktkasse sitzen, sich um ihre kleine Schwester Ida kümmern und an schlechten Tagen auch um die Mutter. Zu dritt wohnen sie im traurigsten Haus der Fröhlichstraße in einer Kleinstadt, die Tilda hasst. Ihre Freunde sind längst weg, leben in Amsterdam oder Berlin, nur Tilda ist geblieben. Denn irgendjemand muss für Ida da sein, Geld verdienen, die Verantwortung tragen. Nennenswerte Väter gibt es keine, die Mutter ist alkoholabhängig. Eines Tages aber geraten die Dinge in Bewegung: Tilda bekommt eine Promotion in Berlin in Aussicht gestellt, und es blitzt eine Zukunft auf, die Freiheit verspricht. Und Viktor taucht auf, der große Bruder von Ivan, mit dem Tilda früher befreundet war. Viktor, der genau wie sie immer 22 Bahnen schwimmt. Doch als Tilda schon beinahe glaubt, es könnte alles gut werden, gerät die Situation zu Hause vollends außer Kontrolle.'22 Bahnen' ist eine raue und gleichzeitig zärtliche Geschichte über die Verheerungen des Familienlebens und darüber, wie das Glück zu finden ist zwischen Verantwortung und Freiheit.»Caroline Wahl findet das Besondere im Alltäglichen und das Tröstliche im Schmerzvollen.

Ha-Joon Chang's "23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism" turns received economic wisdom on its head to show you how the world really works. In this revelatory book, Ha-Joon Chang destroys the biggest myths of our times and shows us an alternative view of the world, including: there's no such thing as a 'free' market Globalization isn't making the world richer; we don't live in a digital world - the washing machine has changed lives more than the internet; poor countries are more entrepreneurial than rich ones; higher paid managers don't produce better results; and we don't have to accept things as they are any longer. Ha-Joon Chang is here to show us there's a better way. "Lively, accessible and provocative ...read this book". (Sunday Times). "A witty and timely debunking of some of the biggest myths surrounding the global economy".("Observer"). "The new kid on the economics block...Chang's iconoclastic attitude has won him fans". (Independent on Sunday). "Lucid ...audacious ...increasingly influential ...will provoke physical symptoms of revulsion if you are in any way involved in high finance". ("Guardian"). "Important ...persuasive ...an engaging case for a more caring era of globalization".("Financial Times"). "A must-read ...incisive and entertaining". ("New Statesman Books of the Year"). Ha-Joon Chang is a Reader in the Political Economy of Development at the University of Cambridge. He is author of "Kicking Away the Ladder: Development Strategy in Historical Perspective", which won the 2003 Gunnar Myrdal Prize, and "Bad Samaritans: Rich Nations", "Poor Policies" and the "Threat to the Developing World". Since the beginning of the 2008 economic crisis, he has been a regular contributor to the "Guardian", and a vocal critic of the failures of our economic system.

Together with Pierre Baillot and Rodolphe Kreutzer, Pierre Rode founded the important Franco-Belgian violin school at the end of the eighteenth century. Celebrated throughout Europe, this violinist gives impressive testament to his technique with his "24 Caprices en Forme d'Études" in all keys. While concentrating completely on studying technical phenomena, he created valuable compositions that recall Paganini's pieces of the same name. To this day, the "Caprices" are a milestone in every violinist's education (conservatory level). For the first time, G. Henle Publishers' Urtext edition clarifies in detail the matter of the source situation (first edition and revised edition) and offers the musical text in the "definitive version" with all historical notations. As a Rode specialist of the first order, violinist Friedemann Eichhorn assisted with the preparation of this edition and contributed fingering and bowing suggestions ideal for contemporary violin instruction.

Alexander Scriabin occupies a special position among the Russian piano composers around the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. Already in his early works, he went beyond the Chopinesque traditions of his contemporaries Glazunov and Rachmaninoff. As he also did in his innumerable preludes, of which he brought together 24 in his op. 11, allowing for each major and minor key. However, in spite of keeping to the strict order of the circle of fifths, he took care to ensure that "each prelude is a small composition which can exist self-contained, independent of the other preludes". By comparing the autograph and the first edition of 1897, this Henle Urtext edition has corrected a number of errors and inaccuracies. A grandiose work which should belong in the repertoire of every pianist!

Am Küchentisch eines alten Bauernhauses treffen zwei Menschen aufeinander, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten. Der Erzähler dieser Geschichte führt ein gehetztes Leben, das er als endlose To-do-Liste empfindet; Karl hingegen sortiert Tag für Tag Kartoffeln - und denkt nach. Als Karl seinen Gast mit der Tatsache konfrontiert, dass ihm noch ungefähr 25 Sommer bleiben, beginnen beide ein Gespräch über die großen Fragen des Lebens: Warum verbringen wir so viel Zeit mit unserer Arbeit anstatt mit den Menschen und Dingen, die uns wirklich wichtig sind? Woher nehmen wir den Mut, unsere eigenen Träume zu verwirklichen? Und warum beginnt das richtige Leben oft erst, wenn wir erkennen, dass wir nur eines haben?Stephan Schäfer bringt uns dazu, Antworten auf diese Fragen in uns selbst zu suchen. 25 letzte Sommer ist eine warme, tiefe Erzählung, die uns in unserer Sehnsucht nach einem Leben in Gleichgewicht abholt, uns mitnimmt zu Karl und seinem Hof, zum See und auf den Kartoffelacker - zu einer Geschichte über Freundschaft, über das Zu-viel und Zu-wenig im Leben. Und über die Fragen, auf die wir alle so gerne Antworten finden wollen.»Dieser Roman ermutigt, Leben ins Leben zu lassen.« NDR Kulturjournal»In Stephan Schäfers Debütroman geht es um nicht weniger als den Sinn des Lebens.« Sächsische Zeitung »Ein zauberhaftes Buch.« Christoph Amend, DIE ZEIT
