Kui esmapilgul võib tunduda, et armastus ja seks kui luurerelvad on välja mõeldud Hollywoodis, siis tegelikult on need läbi proovitud ja toimivad vahendid ka päriselus. Võrgutamist kasutati tundliku teabe hankimiseks juba iidsetel aegadel ning see pole võõras ka tänapäeva luureteenistustele. "Võrgutatud" on esimene raamat, mis teeb ajaloolise ülevaate võrgutamisest " vanast, aga siiani tõhusast luureinfo hankimise viisist. Raamat uurib kõige kuulsamaid juhtumeid ning juttu pole ainult femme fatale"idest, vaid ka nn Romeo-spioonidest. See on väärt lugemine ühtaegu nii luure- kui ka popkultuuri ajaloo huvilistele. Henry R. Schlesinger on tegelenud luureajaloo uurimisega ligi kaks aastakümmet. Ta on avaldanud sel teemal mitmeid raamatuid ja artikleid ning pidanud arvukalt loenguid. Autorid: Henry R Schlesinger
Timeless Painting presents the work of 17 contemporary painters whose works reflect a singular approach that is peculiarly of our time: they are a-temporal, a term coined by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, the originators of the cyberpunk aesthetic. A-temporality or timelessness manifests itself in painting as an ahistoric free-for-all, where contemporaneity as an indicator of new form is nowhere to be found, and all eras co-exist. Published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art that explores the impact of this cultural condition on contemporary painting, this publication features work by an international roster of artists including Joe Bradley, Kerstin Brätsch, Matt Connors, Nicole Eisenman, Mark Grotjahn, Charline von Heyl, , Julie Mehretu, Oscar Murillo, Laura Owens and Josh Smith, among others. An overview essay by curator Laura Hoptman is divided into thematic chapters that explore topics such as re-animation and reenactment, recontextualization, Zombie painting, and the concomitant Frankenstein approach, which describes a process of stitching together pieces of the history of painting to create a work of art that would be dead but for its juxtaposed parts, all working in association with one another to propel the work into life.

An unprecedented examination of designs ability to effect, defuse, obfuscate or unveil manifestations of violence in contemporary societyDesign has a history of violence. It can be an act of creative destruction and a double-edged sword, and yet professional discourse around design has been dominated by voices that only trumpet its commercial and aesthetic successes. Violence, defined here as the power to alter circumstances against the will of others and to their detriment, is ubiquitous in history and in contemporary society. In recent years, moreover, technology has introduced new threats and added dramatically to the many manifestations of violence. Design and Violence is an exploration of the relationship between the two that sheds light on the complex impact of design on the built environment and on everyday life, as well as on the forms of violence in contemporary society. Published to accompany an online experiment launched by The Museum of Modern Art in October 2013, this book brings together controversial, provocative and compelling design projects with leading voices from a variety of fields. Each invited author responds to one object chosen by the curatorsranging from an AK-47 to a Euthanasia Rollercoaster, from plastic handcuffs to the Stuxnet digital virusand invites dialogue, comments, reflection and active, occasionally fierce, debate. Examples of questions posed include: Can we design a violent act to be more humane? How far can the state go to protect its borders from immigration before it becomes an act of violence? Is violence "male"? These experimental and wide-ranging conversations host voices from the fields of art and design, science, law, criminal justice, ethics, finance, journalism and social justice, making Design and Violence an invaluable resource for lively discussions and classroom curricula.

In enger Nachbarschaft zu den beiden Klavierkonzerten A-dur (KV 488) und c-moll (KV 491) entstand dieses Rondo, das in seinem Verlauf ein Thema aus dem 3. Satz des g-moll-Klavierquartetts (KV 478) aufgreift und weiterspinnt. Trotz seines beträchtlichen Umfangs und seines musikalischen Gewichtes ist dieses Werk offenbar nicht zu Mozarts Lebzeiten im Druck erschienen. Auch die Widmung "Pour Mad:selle Charlotte de W..." (der Rest ist unleserlich) gibt Rätsel auf. Welche Dame auch immer Mozart dabei im Sinne hatte - heute zählt dieses Rondo zu seinen beliebtesten und meistgespielten Klavierwerken. Unsere Einzelausgabe basiert auf dem Notentext des zum Mozart-Jahr 2006 revidierten Gesamtbandes seiner Klavierstücke (HN 22).?
