Inspired by Antoni Gaudí"s Parc Güell in Barcelona and the Mannerist park Sacro Bosco in Bomarzo, Niki de Saint Phalle, together with her partner Jean Tinguely, created her sculpture park in Garavicchio, in the southern-most part of Tuscany. In this vast garden, the 22 cards of the tarot"s Major Arcana are represented in the form of enormous sculptures, 12 to 15 meters high, made of painted polyester and reinforced concrete, covered with mirrors, mosacis, multicoloured ceramics and Murano glass. This enchanted world was, for her, the ultimate achievement of her oeuvre, its culmination.Including texts written by Saint Phalle herself and explaining her thoughts and intentions in creating the sculptures, this book is a concise introduction to the garden. Moreover, it is a piece of art in its design, inspired and created by Saint Phalle herself.Niki de Saint Phalle wurde mit ihren leuchtend bunten Polyester-Plastiken, insbesondere den Nanas, international populär. Die fröhliche matriarchalische Gegenwelt, die sie in diesen Frauenbildern entstehen läßt, hat innerhalb der neuen Kunst ihre ebenso herausragende wie isolierte Stellung begründet. Niki de Saint Phalle ist eine Außenseiterin, die sich in keine der gängigen kunsthistorischen Gruppierungen einordnen läßt. Begabt mit einer unerschöpflichen Phantasie, gelingt ihr in ihren Skulpturen etwas sehr Seltenes: sie vermag unterschiedlichste Altersstufen und soziale Schichten gleichermaßen anzusprechen und zu motivieren, dem eigenen Gefühl, der Spontaneität zu vertrauen. Autorid: Niki de St. Phalle

Little is known about Ann Hathaway, the wife of England's greatest playwright; a great deal has been assumed, none of it complimentary. In Shakespeare's Wife, Germaine Greer boldly breaks new ground, reclaiming this much maligned figure from generations of scholarly neglect and misogyny. With deep insight and intelligence, she offers daring and thoughtful new theories about the farmer's daughter who married Britain's immortal Bard, painting a vivid portrait of a truly remarkable woman.
A former CIA analyst draws on his experience combatting jihadi terror movements and the history of totalitarian regimes to show how citizens lose touch with reality.While coordinating operations against al-Qaeda during the Bush administration, Buck Sexton became obsessed with figuring out how anyone could comply with an evil regime. Now, Manufacturing Delusion is the result of his search for an answer. In it, he finds that the mind-control tactics which compelled religious zealots to murder and suicide have been weaponized by tyrannical leaders throughout history to create compliant citizens.From a nation-wide effort to defund the police to society-wide redefinition of gender, Sexton argues that the American people are on the brink of mass delusion. He equips readers with an understanding of the tactics used to foment mass delusion and hysteria, and shows how the most dangerous governments in history have weaponized them. Youll learn how North Korea creates an isolated state to keep its citizens compliant; how Jihadist preachers erased all sense of individuality among believers; and how tyrants ranging from Stalin to Ivan the Terrible employed mind-killing tactics to replace all sense of certainty with fear and confusion. Drawing on Sextons deep knowledge of how people become radicalized, some of the greatest minds in the field of crowd psychology, and historys cautionary tales, Manufacturing Delusion is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand why everyone around them is going crazy.

I've been lucky enough to see My Chemical Romance seven in total.I came across MCR for the first time when attending the Download Festival at Donington Park motor-racing track in the UK in June 2005. At the time I was starting to put together my book on the Monsters of Rock/Download Festivals and they were on the bill, in the tent on the Friday evening.From this earlier show, I have gone on to see them headline both Download Festival and the Reading Festival in the UK, supporting Muse at Wembley stadium and the first date on the UK's 'The Black Parade' tour at the Pavilions in my home town of Plymouth.At each show I have been amazed at the adoration, overcoming adversity during the 'bottling' at Reading Festival and then returning five years later as the all conquering heroes to having the Muse fans in their hand at Wembley.Like everyone else, I never expected them to reform. Having seen Frank (and interviewed him) in his various solo band guises and Gerard making 'The Umbrella Academy' a huge Netflix success, it was the least expected reformation of recent years and then it was dashed by the arrival of the Coronavirus Pandemic. They had already sold out three stadium shows at the MK Dons football stadium in Milton Keynes and I had tickets for the Eden Sessions at the 'ecologically friendly' outdoor venue in Cornwall at St Austell - this was to be a 'warm-up' and has a capacity of only 6,000 and so is quite intimate.But here we are again now, moving slowly through 2022, with a new normality in the distance on the horizon. The UK dates have all been rescheduled, with original tickets available for the newly arranged dates, so we all have something to look forward to once again.Which then brings me to this book. The 15th in the series, covering all the bands that I like and have seen many times. The fans lead the book forward, telling their stories, their experiences and their album preferences and I collate them, add my own stories and thoughts and bring together what I hope to be another successful and popular entry in the series. So, sit back, have a read, look at the photos and most of all -'Killjoys, Make Some Noise...'
Eine fotografische Reflexion über die Poesie des UnvollendetenDieser Bildband erscheint auf den ersten Blick wie ein Sammelsurium jener weit verbreiteten, in der Regel nicht genehmigten unvollendeten Bauten, die die karge Landschaft Süditaliens sehr markant prägen, ohne die fast etwas fehlen würde. Bei genauerem Hinschauen regen diese Symbole des Stillstands zum Nachdenken an und werden in diesem Buch thematisiert: auf anthropologisch-kultureller und sozioökonomischer Ebene über Architektur und Ästhetik bis hin zu den existenziellen Grundlagen von Lebensentwürfen und deren Zerbrechlichkeit.Die Geschichten, die hinter den Bauprojekten stehen, sind in den meisten Fällen für immer verloren gegangen. Getrieben von der Vorstellung, dass Häuser und Menschen zusammengehören, porträtiert der Autor Personen, meist aus der Nachbarschaft, vor oder neben diesen. Neugier, Ärger oder simples Ignorieren, Mitleid mit den Besitzern oder Unverständnis über das Versagen der Baubehörden - Gabriel Mauron sprach mit jedem von ihnen über die persönliche Sichtweise auf die Monumente des Verlassenen, mit denen sie gewissermaßen zusammenleben.

Le livre de Marguerite Yourcenar commence par le récit d'une naissance : la sienne. De ce point de départ elle s'interroge. D'où vient-elle ? Qui fut sa mère, morte presque aussitôt ? Qui fut son père ? Ces deux familles dont elle est issue, que peut-elle en savoir, à travers les épaisseurs du temps ? Personne ne rend sensible comme elle l'existence d'âge en âge des êtres en un lieu donné, et le fait que les générations sur le même coin de terre s'entassent comme des strates géologiques, côte à côte avec les bêtes et les plantes. Le récit s'accompagne à chaque pas de commentaires qui sont des coups de projecteurs dans le brouillard de toute vie. Si bien que d'une histoire à peu près ordinaire ou commune Marguerite Yourcenar a fait une oeuvre extraordinaire, où la rigueur le dispute à la compassion, où le plus grand art et le plus discret est au service d'une rare noblesse de coeur.
Who were the Teutonic Knights?The Teutonic Knights were established to help the sick and injured in the Holy Land in a similar vein as the Knights Hospitaller. Once they were battle-tested in war, however, they were commissioned to be full-fledged fearsome warriors, fighting for the cause of Christendom. Those causes would have the Teutonic Knights leave the Holy Land altogether when they were redeployed to Eastern Europe.Soon the knights were attempting to subdue pagans, extending their presence throughout the Baltic by way of a string of fortresses. Their fate would rise and fall with the political and ideological situations that were prevalent in the European continent. The rise of both Poland and Lithuania would come to threaten the Teutonic Order, and the climactic Battle of Tannenberg in 1410 would have repercussions that would reverberate for centuries to come.This book follows the meteoric rise, the climactic fall, and the many years of rebirth undergone by the Teutonic Knights. From Jerusalem to the modern-day charitable organizations headed by the order, this text covers the complete history of the Teutonic Knights in full.Here in this book, you will discover:How the Teutonic Order was formedTheir mission in the Holy LandTheir Crusades in the Balkans and the BalticHow the Protestant Reformation affected the orderAnd a whole lot more!Scroll up and click the "add to cart" button to learn more about The Teutonic Knights!
