        Geträumtes Glück. Angelica Kauffmann und Goethe

        by Ursula Naumann

        Über die Beziehung von Angelica Kauffmann und Johann Wolfgang Goethe wissen wir bis heute wenig. Was war zwischen dem Dichter und der berühmten Malerin? Detektivisch nähert sich Ursula Naumann der Wahrheit von Kauffmanns Leben und Goethes Zeit in Rom. Denn dessen Darstellung in der Italienischen Reise ist nicht unbedingt zu trauen. Im November 1786 besucht Goethe Angelica Kauffmann zum ersten Mal in ihrem luxuriös eingerichteten Stadthaus in der Via Sistina in Rom. Sie ist 45 Jahre alt, die bekannteste Malerin ihrer Zeit, verheiratet mit einem sehr viel älteren Mann. Goethe, der Hofmann, ist nach Italien gekommen, um seine Wiedergeburt als Künstler zu inszenieren. Gemeinsam besuchen sie Museen und Galerien, betrachten erotische Darstellungen, die von Liebe, Leidenschaft und Verrat erzählen. Das empfindsame Porträt, das sie von ihm malt, mißfällt ihm; er sieht sich lieber, wie Tischbein ihn gemalt hat, posierend in der Campagna. Er liest ihr aus Iphigenie und aus Egmont vor, die sie illustriert. Sie faßt Vertrauen zu ihm und gibt zu erkennen, daß sie gern aus ihrem Arbeitsalltag ausbrechen, ein anderes Leben führen würde. Nachdem er abgereist ist, schreibt sie ihm: Sie, die Verschlossene, gibt ihre Verzweiflung über seine Abreise preis. Und Goethe? Sicher ist, daß er über seine Beziehung zu ihr sehr viel weniger gesagt hat, als er hätte sagen können. Doch es bleibt bei Briefen, zum Wiedersehen kommt es nicht. »Welch ein Sommer hätte sein können, wenn einer gewesen wäre.«

        Players' work time

        A history of the British Musicians' Union, 1893–2013

        by Martin Cloonan, John Callan Williamson

        This book examines the working lives of musicians over the past 120 years via the history of the Musicians' Union. The union has been at the centre of all major agreements covering the employment of musicians across the UK's music industries for this period and its role to date has largely been ignored by historians of the music profession, the music industries and trade unions. This book remedies that oversight, providing fresh insight to musicians' working lives, the industries in which they work and wider British social life. It explores a history of confrontation, coercion and compromise played out across the nation's studios, performance spaces and airwaves.

Patil, Ramya Putturu, Samar Singh, Saumya Singh, Sravanthi Mannem, Sudheer Korukonda, Himanshu Sekhar Swain, Mukesh Pratap Yadav, Aditya Kodagu, Geetha Nagaraja, Shreya Singh

        The effects of climate change on food production and security are many and varied and represent one of the biggest challenges facing humanity today. As the human population increases there is increasing pressure on land availability and water resources. In many staple crops, warming temperatures have caused decreases in overall yields but at the same time the demand for cheaper and more sustainable food has increased. This edited volume examines the effects of climate change on all aspects of food production and how this is affecting food security in many parts of the world. The book presents a series of chapters which describe new technologies aimed at mitigating these effects via, for example, genetic modification, microbial science, and the introduction of new crops. · Information is presented in a very accessible and logical format. · The book focuses on sustainable food security and safety, illustrated with case studies. · The chapters cover the latest thinking on food security via sustainable livestock and agricultural production. · The book describes the social issues related to food safety, regulatory frameworks, and policies in the light of climate change.
