Go is a game of strategy in which two players attempt to surround each other's black or white stones. Simple in its fundamentals, infinitely complex in its execution, it is an essential expression of the Japanese sensibility. And in his fictional chronicle of a match played between a revered and invincible Master and a younger, more progressive challenger, Yasunari Kawabata captured the moment in which the immutable traditions of imperial Japan met the onslaught of the twentieth century. The competition between the Master of Go and his opponent, Otak ', is waged over several months and layered in ceremony. But beneath the game's decorum lie tensions that consume not only the players themselves but their families and friends - tensions that turn this particular contest into a duel that can only end in one man's death. Luminous in its detail, both suspenseful and serene, The Master of Go is an elegy for an entire society, written with the poetic economy and psychological acumen that brought Kawabata the Nobel Prize for Literature.
The mysterious death of an eccentric millionaire brings together an unlikely assortment of heirs who must uncover the circumstances of his death before they can claim their inheritance.

Two women--bound by blood, torn apart by circumstance--find together that true strength comes in many forms. In 1911, Mabel MacGinnis is Europe's strongest woman and has performed beside her father in the Manzo Brothers Circus her entire life. When he dies unexpectedly, she loses everything she's ever known and sets off in the company of acrobat Jake Cunningham in hope of finding the mother she thought was dead. Isabella Moreau, America's most feted aerialist, has given everything to the circus. But age and injury now threaten her security, and Isabella, stalked by old fears, makes a choice that risks everything. Then her daughter Mabel appears alongside the man who never wanted to see Isabella again, and she is forced to face the truth of where, and in what, she derives her worth. As Mabel and Isabella's lives become entangled beneath the glittering lights and flying trapeze of Madison Square Garden, their resiliency and resolve are tested as they learn the truth of what it means to be strong.

But the fashion industry is as grimy as it is glamorous. And there are unexpected predators at every turn. Jana is an ordinary girl from a south London estate, lifted to unimaginable heights. But the further you rise, the more devastating your fall ... Honest and raw, this is a timely exposé of the dark underbelly of the fashion industry in an era of #TimesUp and #MeToo.

"A bold and timely proposal for rethinking the role of the Supreme Court in the separation of powers.There is a widespread sense today that the separation-of-powers system is broken or dysfunctional and has become an obstacle to effective government. TheConstitution of Conflict demonstrates that much of the problem comes from attempts to find legal answers to political problems. Challenging long-held assumptions about the Constitution, Thomas Rives Bell boldly argues that a separation-of-powers doctrineenforceable by the Court is inconsistent with the constitutional design. Rather than establishing a legal doctrine, the Constitution set into motion a dynamic political system that governs through conflict within and among differentiated institutional structures.Bell shows that Congress and the president have previously found constitutional solutions to issues like the administrative state, only to be thwarted by the Supreme Court. He critiques the Court's different methodologies for resolving these disputes, demonstrating that, rhetoric aside, both originalist accounts and functionalist understandings seek primarily to enforce the separation of powers for its own sake rather than understanding the political system as the proper means by which to achievethe Constitution's aspirations. Judicial superintendence of the separation of powers, moreover, places the Court above rather than within the constitutional framework. Bell proposes that the Court's role in such disputes should be confined to government actions that directly implicate rights rather than to the policing of interbranch boundaries between Congress and the president.Bell applies his proposed political framework to four case studies: the legislative veto, executive agreements, recess appointments, and congressional oversight and impeachment. These cases illuminate the logic and dynamic of the separation of powers, demonstrating that political conflict, rather than legal settlement, is an essential element of the constitutional design"-- "In recent years, the US Supreme Court has increasingly resolved conflicts between congress and the president, and there is little question that such disputes invite judicial involvement. There is also widespread agreement among legal scholars that the Court's separation-of-powers jurisprudence is abysmal, especially because it has never been able to commit to a single approach.

Longlisted for the Dublin Literary AwardGritty and unflinching, yet also tender, fantastical, and funny, a trans woman’s tale about finding a community on the margins. In Sarmiento Park, the green heart of Córdoba, a group of trans sex workers make their nightly rounds. When a cry comes from the dark, their leader, the 178-year-old Auntie Encarna, wades into the brambles to investigate and discovers a baby half dead from the cold. She quickly rallies the pack to save him, and they adopt the child into their fascinating surrogate family as they have so many other outcasts, including Camila. Sheltered in Auntie Encarna’s fabled pink house, they find a partial escape from the everyday threats of disease and violence, at the hands of clients, cops, and boyfriends. Telling their stories—of a mute young woman who transforms into a bird, of a Headless Man who fled his country’s wars—as well as her own journey from a toxic home in a small, poor town, Camila traces the life of this vibrant community throughout the 90s. Imbuing reality with the magic of a dark fairy tale, Bad Girls offers an intimate, nuanced portrait of trans coming-of-age that captures a universal sense of the strangeness of our bodies. It grips and entertains us while also challenging ideas about love, sexuality, gender, and identity.

Das Andante war 1803/04 zunächst als langsamer Satz der Klaviersonate C-dur op. 53 (Waldsteinsonate) entstanden, geriet nach Meinung Beethovens aber zu lang und wurde ersetzt. Vermutlich 1805 gab Beethoven es einzeln zum Druck. Der "Grazioso con moto" überschriebene Satz wird durch eine große Vielfalt an Satztechniken bestimmt, die von einfachen Akkordfolgen bis zu orchestral wirkenden Oktavläufen reicht. Wegen seiner besonderen Beliebtheit erschien der Einzelsatz in der zweiten Auflage als "Andante favori" - ein Beiname, der angeblich auf Beethoven selbst zurückgeht. Auf Grundlage ihrer Vorarbeiten für die kritische Gesamtausgabe hat Beethoven-Spezialistin Joanna Cobb Biermann den Notentext der Henle-Urtextausgabe sorgfältig revidiert und das Vorwort auf den neuesten Stand der Wissenschaft gebracht.
Die im Autograph mit 1. Juni 1790 datierte Es-dur-Sonate schrieb Haydn für Marianne von Gennzinger, mit der er in engem persönlichen Kontakt stand und auch gemeinsam musizierte. Die Beschenkte war sehr angetan, nur mit dem Übergreifen der Hände im herrlichen b-moll-Mittelteil des 2. Satzes kam sie offenbar nicht zurecht: "weilen ich solches nicht gewöhnet bin, so kömt es mir schwer an." Für Evgeny Kissin, der die "Patenschaft" dieser Sonate übernommen hat, stellen solche Passagen natürlich kein Problem dar - der G. Henle Verlag ist stolz, diesen Haydn-Schatz nun mit dem Fingersatz der Klavierlegende Kissin präsentieren zu können!
Earth Observation and Geospatial Analysis presents current research related to the observation of Earth with sensors operating at various wavelengths. The book describes the use of remote sensing technologies for detecting and monitoring Earth's environmental changes (including surface and atmosphere) and its modifications over time. Chapters cover different research aspects in the framework of remote sensing with a particular emphasis on the use of hyperspectral and optical imageries. The presented experiments concern the study of soil properties, the analysis of land use/land changes, the analysis of bio-aerosols as well as the color of water, the investigation of the scar and samples of a cosmic meteoritic impact, and the theoretical treatment of the operation of spatial coordinate transformation in noisy environments. Overall, this book provides an overview of the adopted methodologies for the accomplishment of geospatial analyses to identify environmental changes due to climate change and natural phenomena.
Der Schriftsteller Gustav von Aschenbach hat sich seinen Ruhm diszipliniert und selbstbeherrscht erarbeitet. Ein unbedeutender Zwischenfall in München genügt, um die Ordnung ins Rutschen zu bringen. Er folgt einem inneren Impuls nach Süden und landet auf dem Lido vor Venedig, in einem Strandhotel, das Abgeschiedenheit und Konzentration verspricht, während die Stadt ringsum ihrer eigenen Logik folgt. Aschenbach begegnet dem eigentümlich schönen, kindlichen Tadzio und fixiert sich auf ihn - die Anziehung ist irritierend körperlich. Der Tagesablauf beginnt sich um Tadzio zu organisieren, als wäre ein Gefühlsregler falsch justiert. Aschenbach wartet, er erwartet. Zugleich verändert sich die Stadt, man spricht von einer tödlichen Seuche, Gerüchte kursieren. Aschenbach sieht die Gefahr - doch bleibt. In der Zwangslage zwischen Fixierung auf den Jungen und Bedrohung durch die Krankheit wird sein bisheriges harmloses Schriftsteller-Leben obsolet.Die Novelle entstand 1911 im Umfeld von Manns Venedig-Reise. In ihrem Spiel mit Homoerotik bei gleichzeitig strenger literarischer Form avancierte sie rasch zu einem Schlüsselwerk der literarischen Moderne, übersetzt in mehr als 30 Sprachen.
