Die Geschichte der modernen Mode - von der Haute Couture zum MassenmarktIm 20. Jahrhundert entwickelte sich die Mode von einem reinen Geschäft der exklusiven Pariser Salons, die einer reichen Elite zu Diensten waren, zu einer weltweiten Industrie mit Millionen von Beschäftigten. Neue Trends schlugen sich in den Läden nieder, kaum dass das letzte Model den Laufsteg verlassen hatte. Im Laufe der Zeit entwickelte sich die typische weibliche Silhouette bis zur Unkenntlichkeit: Die Krinolinen von House of Worth machten Vionnets schräg geschnittenen Kleidern Platz, Diors New Look musste Quants Chelsea Look weichen, und auf die weißen Hosenanzüge von Halston folgten tief geschnittene Jeans von Frankie B. In der Herrenmode bedeuteten Konfektionsanzüge den Niedergang der Maßschneiderei, lange bevor Hawaiihemden, superschmale Krawatten und Baggy-Hosen aufkamen.20th Century Fashion bietet eine elegante Retrospektive der Mode der vergangenen hundert Jahre, die durch 400 Modeanzeigen aus der Jim Heimann Collection veranschaulicht wird. Mit der Bildsprache aus einem Jahrhundert Werbung dokumentiert dieses Buch das unablässige Fortschreiten der Mode, die gleichzeitig im Lauf der Jahrzehnte zu einem Teil der Massenkultur wurde. Eine umfassende Einleitung, Kapitel zu jedem Jahrzehnt und eine illustrierte Zeitleiste stellen Modemacher und Trendsetter von der Haute Couture bis zum Massenmarkt im Detail vor. Und nicht zuletzt geht es darum, wie historische Ereignisse, Designermarken, Handelsketten, Filme, Zeitschriften und Prominente Einfluss darauf nehmen, wie wir uns kleiden - damals wie heute.Der Kulturanthropologe und Grafikdesign-Experte Jim Heimann ist Autor zahlreicher Bücher über Architektur, Popkultur und die Geschichte der amerikanischen Westküste sowie über Los Angeles und Hollywood. Seine einzigartige Privatsammlung von Kuriositäten war schon in Museen der ganzen Welt und in vielen seiner Bücher zu bewundern. <br><br> Autorid: Alison A. Nieder, Jim Heimann <br>

An authoritative military history of the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Division in Operation Iraqi Freedom, describing the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the siege and fall of Baghdad, and the nation-building mission that followed. An authoritative military history of the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division in Operation Iraqi Freedom, describing the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the siege and fall of Baghdad, and the nation-building mission that followed.In 21 Days to Baghdad, historian Dr. Heather Stur describes the commitment of the division to Kuwait, the invasion of Iraq and the three weeks of violent desert conflicts on the way to Baghdad before the siege and battle for the city itself, and the “thunder runs” that saw its fall to U.S. forces. She then details the complex security mission that required the soldiers and their commanders to convince Iraqi citizens that the U.S. was there to help them, while at the same time they continued fighting Saddam Hussein's elite Republican Guard, paramilitary forces, and terrorists. This new history is based on exclusive, extensive interviews with General Buford “Buff” Blount, the U.S. Army two-star general who led the 3rd Infantry Division. His years of experience in the Middle East led him to question the recall of his division from Iraq at the end of 2003 and its replacement by a less experienced unit. President George W. Bush and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld did not believe that peacekeeping and humanitarian assistance were worthwhile uses of a conventional combat force like the 3rd Infantry Division. The division had destroyed Hussein's government. Mission accomplished, or so Bush and Rumsfeld thought. 21 Days to Baghdad illustrates the long reach of the U.S. military, the limitations of nation building in the wake of war, and the tensions between policymakers in Washington, DC, and troops on the ground over the purpose and conduct of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. <br><br> Autorid: Heather Marie Stur <br>

A genuinely new Second World War story, The 21 Escapes of Lt Alastair Cram by David M. Guss is the gripping narrative of an intrepid Scottish soldier's audacious defiance and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. 'An extraordinary and humbling account' Damien Lewis, The Scotsman 'Endlessly fascinating. Cram's story sizzles with adventure' Giles Milton, Sunday Times In November 1941 Lt Alastair Cram was taken prisoner in North Africa as a devastating tank battle unfolded as Operation Crusader struggled to relieve Tobruk. His capture began a four year-long odyssey as he passed through twelve different POW camps, three Gestapo prisons and one asylum. Determined to regain his freedom, he became a serial escapee fleeing his captors no fewer than twenty-one times. In a saga of relentless determination, Cram, along the legendary founder of the SAS, David Stirling, masterminded the audacious 'Cistern Tunnel' escape from the Italian fortress Gavi - a thousand-year-old stronghold housing the most 'dangerous' escape risk prisoners. It became one of the most audacious but little-known mass escape attempts of the entire war. Thrillingly told, this is a record of stamina and courage against unfathomable adversity.

First published in 1971, 2150 A.D. is a groundbreaking science-fiction classic, with over 600,000 copies sold, that earned cult status by imagining humanitys spiritual evolution decades before consciousness-driven sci-fi entered the mainstream, making it a compelling read for fans of Avatar and Pluribus. Set between the fractured world of 1976 and a radically transformed society in the year 2150, 2150 A.D. is a visionary spiritual novel that explores humanitys potential evolution beyond fear, violence, and separation. Jon Lake, a wounded Vietnam veteran and psychology doctoral candidate, begins experiencing vivid time translations into the futurewhere society has reorganized itself around Macro awareness: a lived understanding of humanitys oneness, personal responsibility, and conscious creation. In this future, disease, crime, war, and environmental collapse have been replaced by cooperation, spiritual maturity, and advanced psychic abilities grounded in ethical development. As Jon moves between timelines, he is forced to confront his own unresolved anger, guilt, and desire for control. His journey becomes a test of whether personal transformation is truly possibleand whether humanity can evolve without first destroying itself. Through encounters with enlightened teachers, soul mates, and deeply flawed individuals, Jon learns that spiritual growth cannot be achieved through power or escape, but only through love, accountability, and the willingness to face ones shadow. Blending speculative science fiction with metaphysical teachings, 2150 A.D. offers a profound exploration of karma, reincarnation, free will, and collective evolution. First published decades ahead of its time, this newly republished edition speaks directly to todays global crises, asking a timeless question: What kind of future are we choosing right now? <br><br> Autorid: Thea Alexander <br>

Behind a gruesome ISIS beheading video lies the untold story of the men in orange and the faith community that formed these unlikely modern-day saints and heroes.In a carefully choreographed propaganda video released in February 2015, ISIS militants behead twenty-one orange-clad Christian men on a Libyan beach.In the West, daily reports of new atrocities may have displaced the memory of this particularly vile event. But not in the world from which the murdered came. All but one were young Coptic Christian migrant workers from Egypt. Acclaimed literary writer Martin Mosebach traveled to the Egyptian village of El-Aour to meet their families and better understand the faith and culture that shaped such conviction.He finds himself welcomed into simple concrete homes through which swallows dart. Portraits of Jesus and Mary hang on the walls along with roughhewn shrines to now-famous loved ones. Mosebach is amazed time and again as, surrounded by children and goats, the bereaved replay the cruel propaganda video on an iPad. There is never any talk of revenge, but only the pride of having a martyr in the family, a saint in heaven. “The 21” appear on icons crowned like kings, celebrated even as their community grieves. A skeptical Westerner, Mosebach finds himself a stranger in this world in which everything is the reflection or fulfillment of biblical events, and facing persecution with courage is part of daily life.In twenty-one symbolic chapters, each preceded by a picture, Mosebach offers a travelogue of his encounter with a foreign culture and a church that has preserved the faith and liturgy of early Christianity – the “Church of the Martyrs.” As a religious minority in Muslim Egypt, the Copts find themselves caught in a clash of civilizations. This book, then, is also an account of the spiritual life of an Arab country stretched between extremism and pluralism, between a rich biblical past and the shopping centers of New Cairo. <br><br> Autorid: Martin Mosebach, Alta Price <br>

Patrick OBrians Blue at the Mizzennovel #20 in the widely celebrated Aubrey/Maturin seriesended with Jack Aubrey getting the news, in Chile, of his elevation to flag rank: rear admiral of the Blue Squadron, with orders to sail to the South Africa station. The next novel, unfinished and untitled at the time of the authors death, would have been the chronicle of that mission, and much else besides. The three chapters left on OBrians desk are presented here both in printed versionincluding his corrections to the typescriptand a facsimile of his manuscript, which goes several pages beyond the end of the typescript to include a duel between Stephen Maturin and an impertinent officer who is courting his fiancée. These chapters show that OBrians powers of observation, his humor, and his understanding of his characters were undiminished to the end. <br><br> Autorid: Patrick O'Brian, Richard Snow <br>
