      • Smith-Obolensky Media

        Smith-Obolensky Media is an international media boutique featuring the work by award-winning author Ivan Obolensky. His gothic mystery, Eye of the Moon, sold over ten thousand copies and the sequel is well underway for release next year. The Latin American Spanish literary translation has been accepted into the Librería Nacional chain, the largest in Colombia, for a thousand paperbacks to be sold in their stores (including those in three international airports).   We are magicmakers. How many of us have changed from a simple line we once read, or a film we saw at a crossroads moment? The art of storytelling, in all its facets, is something we celebrate.   In this spirit, we accept projects on a limited basis and focus on one author at a time, so we can fully present their works.

        Terry Gilliam

        by Peter Marks

        Terry Gilliam presents a sustained examination of one of cinema's most challenging and lauded auteurs, proposing fresh ways of seeing Gilliam that go beyond reductive readings of him as a gifted but manic fantasist. Analysing Gilliam's work over nearly four decades, from the brilliant anarchy of his Monty Python animations through the nightmarish masterpiece Brazil to the provocative Gothic horror of Tideland, it critically examines the variety and richness of Gilliam's sometimes troubled but always provocative output. The book situates Gilliam within the competing cultural contexts of the British, European and American film industries, examining his regular struggles against aesthetic and commercial pressures. He emerges as a passionate, immensely creative director, whose work encompasses a dizzying array of material: anarchic satire, childhood and adult fantasy, dystopia, romantic comedy, surrealism, road movie, fairy tale and the Gothic. The book charts how Gilliam interweaves these genres and forms to create magical interfaces between reality and the illuminating, frightening but liberating worlds of the imagination. Scrutinising the neglected importance of literature and adaptation in Gilliam's career, this study also observes him through the lenses of auteurism, genre, performance, design and national culture, explaining how someone born in Minnesota and raised in California came to be one of British television and film's most compelling figures.

        Anglo–German relations during the Labour governments 1964–70

        NATO strategy, détente and European integration

        by Terry Macintyre

        Speaking at West Point in 1962, Dean Acheson observed that Britain had lost an empire and had still to find a new role. This book explains why, in the following years, as Britain's Labour government contemplated withdrawal from east of Suez, ministers came to see that Britain's future role would be as a force within Europe. To this end, and in order to gain entry into the European Economic Community, a close relationship with the Federal Republic of Germany would be essential. This account of Anglo-German relations during the 1960s reveals fascinating insights into how both governments reacted to a series of complex issues and why, despite differences which might have led to strains, a good understanding was maintained. Terry Macintyre's innovative approach brings together material covering NATO strategy, détente and European integration, making the volume fascinating and essential reading for students and enthusiasts of contemporary British and German political history. This book makes an important contribution to what we know about Cold War history, and should help to redefine some of the views about the relationship between Britain and Germany during the 1960s. ;

        The Evolution of Cells, Third Edition

        by Kristi Lew and Terry L. Smith

        Some 3.8 billion years ago, in an era of churning seas and murky skies, a few chemicals combined under the right conditions, and life emerged on planet Earth. From that first cell, life progressed to a myriad of one-celled organisms, to organisms capable of photosynthesis, to multicellular organisms, to simple plant and animal forms, up to the complex life-forms we know today. The Evolution of Cells, Third Edition traces these developments and how they may have occurred, through the scientific study of fossils, relationships among organisms, biochemistry of current life-forms, genetic sequencing, and laboratory experiments. Readers will also explore the complexity of cells and the ways science is making use of internal cell mechanisms for new discoveries in sustainable energy sources, cleaning up pollution, improving the food supply, and treating disease.

        Conga Line on the Amazon

        by David Myles Robinson

        David Myles Robinson was eight years old when he first got hooked on travel. Since then, he’s seen most of the world—all its continents plus, he laments, “far too many places where travel is now off-limits.”After a lifetime of visiting near and far, in heat and in cold, in comfort and in danger, Robinson has put it all together now in this unique collection of the varied travel adventures he’s found—and the lessons he’s learned from them. A Fellini-esque view of the Amazon, a Mercedes caravan to Istanbul, Jane Goodall's amazing chimps—just part of a travel trunk full of experiences guaranteed to keep you seesawing from “Boy, I'd love to do that" to “Sure glad it was him, not me.”In Conga Line on the Amazon, Robinson brings to his first travel book the same gift for intriguing narrative and sharp characterization that has won praise for his six highly successful novels. Some of his tales may be for the strong of heart, but they’re all for the reader with a yen to be entertained by one intrepid man’s adventures and misadventures exploring the strange and wonderful world we live in.

        Wert- und Verteilungstheorien seit Adam Smith

        Wert- und Verteilungstheorien seit Adam Smith

        Eine nationalökonomische Dogmengeschichte. Aus dem Englischen übersetzt von Cora Stephan

        by Maurice Dobb, Cora Stephan

        Der kürzlich verstorbene britische Wirtschaftswissenschaftler Maurice Dobb, (»vgl. es 166: Organisierter Kapitalismus«) zählt zu den wenigen international hochangesehenen Vertretern seines Fachs; er hat als Methodologe und als Theoretiker gleichermaßen nachhaltig die neuere Nationalökonomie beeinflußt. Sein jüngstes Buch bestätigt den Ruf, der ihm vorausgeht: einer der führenden Interpreten wirtschaftlicher Entwicklungen und nationalökonomischer Theoriebildung zu sein. In systematischer Weise entfaltet Dobb an zwei herausragenden Problemstellungen – Einkommensverteilung und Wertlehre – die Entstehungs- und Klärungsprozesse der ökonomischen Theorie seit Smith (über Ricardo, Marx bis zu Keynes und Sraffa). Dies freilich – die Darstellung der ökonomischen Dogmengeschichte – ist nur die eine Seite der Dobbschen Argumentation; die andere bildet die ideologiekritische Auseinandersetzung mit der geschichtlichen Bedingtheit der ökonomischen Deutungssysteme und der mehr oder weniger »apologetischen« Funktion der aus ihnen abgeleiteten wirtschaftspolitischen Lösungsvorschläge. Es ist das große Verdienst der Arbeit von Dobb, den Erklärungsanspruch ökonomischer Theorien nicht nur logisch-immanent zu analysieren, sondern auch im Hinblick auf ihr Verhältnis zu der von ihnen beschriebenen Wirklichkeit.

        Victorian demons

        Medicine, masculinity, and the Gothic at the fin-de-siècle

        by Andrew Smith

        Victorian demons provides the first extensive exploration of largely middle-class masculinities in crisis at the fin de siècle. It analyses how ostensibly controlling models of masculinity became demonised in a variety of literary and medical contexts, revealing the period to be much more ideologically complex than has hitherto been understood, and makes a significant contribution to Gothic scholarship. Andrew Smith demonstrates how a Gothic language of monstrosity, drawn from narratives such as 'The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' and 'Dracula', increasingly influenced a range of medical and cultural contexts, destabilising these apparently dominant masculine scripts. He provides a coherent analysis of a range of examples relating to masculinity drawn from literary, medical, legal and sociological contexts, including Joseph Merrick ('The Elephant Man'), the Whitechapel murders of 1888, Sherlock Holmes's London, the writings and trials of Oscar Wilde, theories of degeneration and medical textbooks on syphilis.

        Private Regierung

        Wie Arbeitgeber über unser Leben herrschen (und warum wir nicht darüber reden)

        by Elizabeth Anderson, Karin Wördemann

        Der freie Markt war einmal ein progressives Projekt, das zur Befreiung der Lohnabhängigen führen sollte – von obrigkeitsstaatlichen Strukturen und von der Gängelung durch die Arbeitgeber. Elizabeth Anderson zeigt, was aus dieser schönen Idee geworden ist: reine Ideologie in den Händen mächtiger ökonomischer Akteure, die sich wenig um die Freiheit und die Rechte von Arbeitnehmern scheren. Sie arbeitet heraus, wie sich der positive Zusammenhang zwischen freiem Markt und freiem Arbeiter aufgelöst hat, und bestimmt die gegenwärtige Beziehung zwischen Arbeitgebern und Arbeitnehmern neu: als eine von quasi autokratisch herrschenden, privaten Regierungen und den von ihnen Regierten, die in vielerlei Hinsicht das Nachsehen haben. Eine beeindruckende Dekonstruktion eines Mythos des Marktdenkens.

        Selbstbewusstes Leben

        Texte zu einer transformativen Theorie. der menschlichen Subjektivität

        by Andrea Kern, Christian Kietzmann

        Eine lange philosophische Tradition, die ihren Höhepunkt in der Philosophie des Deutschen Idealismus findet, vertritt die These, dass der Mensch sich grundlegend von den übrigen Tieren unterscheidet. Diese Position ist jedoch spätestens seit Darwin in die Defensive geraten, was vor allem daran liegt, dass ihre Anhänger oft genug nicht klar sagen können, worin die tiefe Differenz zwischen Mensch und Tier bestehen soll. Die in diesem Band versammelten Texte eint das Ziel, diese Differenz dagegen als eine Artikulation des Selbstbewusstseins derjenigen zu formulieren, deren Leben durch genau dieses Selbstbewusstsein einzigartig wird. Mit Beiträgen von u. a. James Conant, Andrea Kern, John McDowell, Terry Pinkard, Sebastian Rödl und Michael Thompson.
