BRUEGEL THE MASTERTHAMES PRACA ZBIOROWA  Pieter Bruegel the Elder and his work have attained a legendary status in our collective consciousness. The most important Netherlandish painter and draughtsman of the 16th century had already achieved great fame during his own lifetime, but was largely forgotten until his rediscovery by art historians in the early 20th century. Just over forty paintings by Bruegel's own hand survive. His complex, multi-layered compositions, which draw on the earlier pictorial traditions of Hieronymus Bosch, are often moralizing, and teem with characters. The variety of subjects and their originality of execution inspire wonder to this day. Published to accompany the major exhibition at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, this spectacular catalogue allows readers to immerse themselves in the immensely rich pictorial world of the Netherlandish master. In uniting the artist's works in different media

Anne Rice - Violin Alfred A Knopf

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In the grand manner of Interview with the Vampire, Anne Rice's new novel moves across time and the continents, from nineteenth-century Vienna to a St. Charles Greek Revival mansion in present-day New Orleans to the dazzling capitals of the modern-day world, telling a story of two charismatic figures bound to each other by a passionate commitment to music as a means of rapture, seduction, and liberation. At the novel's center: a uniquely fascinating woman, Triana--who once dreamed of becoming a great musician--and the demonic fiddler Stefan, tormented ghost of a Russian aristocrat, who begins to prey upon her, using his magic violin first to enchant, then to dominate and draw her into a state of madness through the music she loves. But Triana understands the power of the music perhaps even more than does Stefan--and she sets out to resist Stefan and to fight not only for her sanity but for her life. The struggle draws them both into a terrifying supernatural realm where they find themselves surrounded by memories, by horrors, and by overwhelming truths. Battling desperately, they are at last propelled towards the novel's astonishing and unforgettable climax. Violin is crowded with the history, the drama, the invention, and the romantic intensity that have become synonymous with Anne Rice at her incomparable best.

Forest Dynamics, Growth and Yield Springer, Berlin

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The aim of this book is to improve the understanding of forest dynamics and the sustainable management of forest ecosystems. How do tree crowns, trees or entire forest stands respond to thinning in the long term? What effect do tree species mixtures and multi-layering have on the productivity and stability of trees, stands or forest enterprises? How do tree and stand growth respond to stress factors such as climate change or air pollution? Furthermore, in the event that one has acquired knowledge about the effects of thinning, mixture and stress, how can one make that knowledge applicable to decision-making in forestry practice? The experimental designs, analytical methods, general relationships and models for answering questions of this kind are the focus of this book. Given the structures dealt with, which range from plant organs to the tree, stand and enterprise levels, and the processes analysed in a time frame of days or months to decades or even centuries, this book is directed at all readers interested in trees, forest stands and forest ecosystems. This work has been compiled for students, scientists, lecturers, forest planners, forest managers, and consultants.Endorsements: This book is the long expected summary of today s knowledge of forest growth and yield science. Comprising methods of growth and yield studies, growth and yield theories including their most recent developments, and examples, based on a plenty of long term experiments, this is not only an important textbook for students but as well a must for everybody dealing with or at least interested in forest growth and yield science. Hubert Sterba, BOKU University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna, Austria "Forest Dynamics, Growth and Yield" is an excellent treatise focusing on the complex and variable forest ecosystems in central Europe. Following on the success of his earlier works in the German language, Hans Pretzsch once again provides a highly readable and informative English textbook forstudents, scientists and practitioners alike. An impressive contribution to the international literature on domesticated ecosystems. Klaus von Gadow, Faculty of Forestry and Forest Ecology, University of Göttingen Forest Dynamics, Growth and Yield is one of the most significant texts on forest modelling and forest production research of our time. It is based on the rich source of experience from science and forestry practice in Central Europe and provides an excellent and comprehensive overview of forest production principles and contemporary modelling approaches. The book is an essential reference for students as well as research scientists. Jens Peter Skovsgaard, Professor of Silviculture and IUFRO Board Member, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences A tour de force of forest growth and yield by one of the world s leading growth and yield experts from the country that developed this branch of forest science. The history, production ecology, field study methodology and modelling of this fundamental aspect of forest management are presented in a densely illustrated and easy to read treatise. Empirically-based traditional approaches are linked to population ecology, but considered at the ecosystem level, recognizing the key roles of biological legacies, disturbance and the physical environmental determinants of tree growth and stand development. The linkage of traditional long term field trials and ecosystem-level modelling reflects the current trend in growth and yield science. This is a must read for silviculturists, environmentalists and all others interested in sustainable management of forests for multiple values. J. P.

PDO und AMO ... Books on Demand

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The change of temperatures in Europe for the period from 1900 to 2013 are evaluated and the results are compared with the oceanic cycles from AMO and PDO as well as the developments of the OHC and the trends of the water temperatures.It is shown that the oceanic cycles (such as PDO and AMO) with its potential thermal storage from the water bodies of the Pacific and Atlantic (or their extended water surfaces) may have an impact to the air temperatures all the way to Europe.Depending on the warmer or colder conditions of the oceanic "storage locations", it can be observed in Europe, that air temp. as well as fluctuations in the regional water levels are as- or descending.Are the "swinging" change of temperatures in the oceanic oscillations of both the Pacific (PDO) and the Atlantic (AMO) and their interplay are a possible reason for the also 'periodic' temperature trends in Europe ... whether for example in Nantes (F), Genoa (I), Copenhagen (DK), Potsdam (D), Zurich (CH), Wroclaw (PL), Vienna (AT) or Aberdeen (GB, North Sea) and Bergen (N, Atlantic)?It is not new that there are fundamental correlations of the ENSO (El Nińo-Southern Oscillation) to the world-observed air temperatures. It must be discussed whether it is a simple "relationship" or even it is a warming (positive AMO / PDO) or periodic cooling (negative AMO / PDO), resulting from the heat flux of the energetic water flow in the oceans and of the transport by atmospherical circulation (a large-scale heat transfer in the form of a "hot-water heating with circulating air").It is certain that the changes of the PDO and the AMO correlate with the long-term "up and down" of the average of air temp. in Europe. CO2, which is a primary factor for the development towards ever higher temperatures, can be assumed as a causative driver of the global temp.rise. On the contrary, the oceanic cycles, which correlate positively with the "fundamental vibrations" of air temp. variability in Europe, could characterize the local temp. trends. The contribution of "warm air heating" of 1 degree temp.rise (1900-2013) in Europe amounts to approx. 0.6 degr., while approx. 0.4 degr. are resulting from other sources. It is likely that the CO2 has contributed to the 0.6 degr. as well as the 0.4 degr..The GMSL/RMSL of the North Sea also seem to be influenced by the trends of the AMO/PDO: As the cycles-index rises, the RMSL also tend to climb upwards, just like the water levels are descending if the AMO/PDO is falling.

Bela Balazs' Early Film Theory Berghahn Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Bela Balazs's two works, Visible Man (1924) and The Spirit of Film (1930), are published here for the first time in full English translation. The essays offer the reader an insight into the work of a film theorist whose German-language publications have been hitherto unavailable to the film studies audience in the English-speaking world. Balazs's detailed analyses of the close-up, the shot and montage are illuminating both as applicable models for film analysis, and as historical documents of his key contribution - such contemporaries as Arnheim, Kracauer and Benjamin - to critical debate on film in the 'golden age' of the Weimar silents. Bela Balazs was a Hungarian Jewish film theorist, author, screenwriter and film director who was at the forefront of Hungarian literary life before being forced into exile for Communist activity after 1919. His German-language theoretical essays on film date from the mid-1920s to the mid-1930s, the period of his early exile in Vienna and Berlin. Erica Carter is Professor of German Studies at the University of Warwick. Her writings on film include The German Cinema Book (co-ed. Tim Bergfelder & Deniz Gokturk, 2002), and Dietrich's Ghosts.The Sublime and the Beautiful in Third Reich Film (2004). Rodney Livingstone is Emeritus Professor of German at the University of Southampton. He is an American Translators Association award winner for his work on Detlef Claussen's Life of Adorno: Theodor W. Adorno: One Last Genius (2008). He is well known as a translator of books by Walter Benjamin, Theodor W. Adorno, and Max Weber, among others.

'Spanish Riding School' and 'Piaffe and Passage' by Decarpentry Xenophon Press LLC

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Originally published in 1947, The Spanish Riding School in Vienna: Home of the Art of Riding in Jeopardy was written by General Decarpentry to pay homage to this unique institution. After World War II, the viability of the Spanish Riding School was in question. Published in both French and English to illustrate and document the great work and traditions of the Viennese School. This book is a time capsule containing the history of the great riders and traditions of the Spanish School, including masters from the beginning of the nineteenth century. We carefully reproduce the original 69 photographs and paintings. Piaffer et Passage, first published in 1931 in French, was written to address the perceived weaknesses in international-level French riders and horses. Decarpentry gives unique insights from his personal experience, training his horse Professeur in these difficult movements. Xenophon Press has revisited the original French to help clarify vagueness that may have permeated previous English translations. Many unique French terms used by Decarpentry, like rassembler, have been restored and completely defined in English. The pairing of these two rare texts reflects Xenophon Press's mission of keeping classical equestrian literature accessible in English.

Theodor W. Adorno Harvard University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

He was famously hostile to biography as a literary form. And yet this life of Adorno by one of his last students is far more than literary in its accomplishments, giving us our first clear look at how the man and his moment met to create 'critical theory'. An intimate picture of the quintessential twentieth-century transatlantic intellectual, the book is also a window on the cultural ferment of Adorno's day - and its ongoing importance in our own. The biography begins at the shining moment of the German bourgeoisie, in a world dominated by liberals willing to extend citizenship to refugees fleeing pogroms in Eastern Europe. Detlev Claussen follows Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno (1903-1969) from his privileged life as a beloved prodigy to his intellectual coming of age in Weimar Germany and Vienna; from his exile during the Nazi years, first to England, then to the United States, to his emergence as the Adorno we know now in the perhaps not-so-unlikely setting of Los Angeles.There in 1943 with his collaborator Max Horkheimer, Adorno developed critical theory, whose key insight - that to be entertained is to give one's consent - helped define the intellectual landscape of the twentieth century. In capturing the man in his complex relationships with some of the century's finest minds - including, among others, Arnold Schoenberg, Walter Benjamin, Thomas Mann, Siegfried Kracauer, Georg Lukacs, Hannah Arendt, and Bertolt Brecht - Claussen reveals how much we have yet to learn from Theodor Adorno, and how much his life can tell us about ourselves and our time.

Goodbye Eastern Europe Oneworld Publications

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Eastern Europe is disappearing. Not off the map of course, but as an idea. Today it calls to mind a jumble of post-Soviet states paved over with C&A and McDonald's.We could describe Eastern Europe as a group of twenty nations - but why? For most of their history, they weren't nations at all. The region is more than the sum total of its annexations, invasions and independence declarations. Eastern Europe abounds with peoples tied together by tragicomic twists of fate.Lives could be turned upside down by distant decrees from Vienna or Istanbul, or just as easily by a stubborn bureaucrat in your village. In twentieth-century Knust, you could live in six different countries without ever leaving your house. You could get married any day, but buying a teakettle was a singular event.Goodbye Eastern Europe is a eulogy for a world we are losing as memories fade and new malls get built. We may not be able to conquer fate - but we can delight in its mystery.
