Dem jung verstorbenen amerikanischen Photographen Robert Mapplethorpe (1946 - 1989) wird in diesem Jahr eine große Ausstellung im NRW Forum Düsseldorf (6.2. - 15.8.2010) ausgerichtet. Einen Klassiker der Mapplethorpe-Literatur, vielleicht den besten, mit Sicherheit für viele den "typischsten" Mapplethorpe, legen wir aus diesem Anlass wieder neu auf. The Black Book, 1986 erstmals erschienen, fasziniert und schockiert heute wie damals - nur die Gewichtungen haben sich verlagert. Was Mitte der 80er Jahre vorrangig die Zensur beschäftigte, ist inzwischen museumswürdig geworden und nicht mehr Gegenstand juristischer Auseinandersetzungen, sondern soziologischer und formalästhetischer Analysen. Auch zwanzig Jahre nach seinem Tod ist Robert Mapplethorpes Hommage an den schwarzen männlichen Körper einer der wichtigsten visuellen Beiträge zur Diskussion über Schönheit, Sinnlichkeit und Sexualität in der Photographie.The classic and arguably most "typical" Mapplethorpe, his once shocking and still fascinating homage to the black male body is available again in a special reprint with a poem by Ntozake Shange.

The story of a bank robbery and its aftermath, of cross and double- cross, told with the unflinching eye of America's greatest crime writer. When it comes to pulling off the perfect bank job, Doc McCoy wrote the book. But with a partner like Rudy Torrento, who is not only treacherous but insane, and a wife who is still an amateur, McCoy has forgotten something: when the crime is big and bloody enough, there is no such thing as a clean getaway.
The bestselling author and historian Lisa Hilton picks up the mythical City of Ladies where the medieval writer Christine de Pisan left off, continuing a conversation about gender and greatness that began more than six hundred years ago. In 1405 Christine de Pisan took up the pen to defend her maligned sex. Her book, The City of Ladies, was built around preserving women's reputations from the slights and misunderstandings of history. In it the author is visited by three spirits Justice, Rectitude and Reason who guide her in sifting through countless lives, in search of worthy citizens. Over 600 years later, the historian and novelist Lisa Hilton picks up the book and promptly falls asleep, only to be visited by three great women from history: Cleopatra, Lucrezia Borgia and Catherine the Great. And they arent happy. Having found themselves barred from the original City of Ladies, they want to know why. And isnt it time, they ask, for a new author to take up the pen? What follows is a reassessment of the past, in which deeds and reputations, rumours and reality are held up to the light, and history is wrested back from the distortions of misogyny.

The phone hasnt rung for months. Suzy Marshall is discovering that work can be sluggish for an actress over sixty even for the former star of a 1980s TV series. So when shes offered the plum role of Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest in Zurich, it seems like a godsend. Until, that is, the play is abruptly cancelled in suspicious circumstances, and Suzy is forced to take a job on a cruise ship to get home.

Chemical Structure and Reactivity: An Integrated Approach rises to the challenge of depicting the reality of chemistry. Offering a fresh approach, it depicts the subject as a seamless discipline, showing how organic, inorganic, and physical concepts can be blended together to achieve the common goal of understanding chemical systems.

Though introductory chemistry is often broken into three sections-inorganic, organic, and physical-the only way for students to fully understand the subject is to see it as a single, unified whole.

Silence has fallen. The Psy are free to feel emotion. Free to love. But Silence was never a prison for Ivan Mercant.

To kill the alpha of the DarkRiver leopard pack. But fate has other plans.
