April 2006Komposition für den Film
by Theodor W. Adorno, Hanns Eisler, Johannes C. Gall, Johannes C. Gall
Adornos und Eislers Buch, das erstmals 1947 in englischer Sprache erschien, gehört zu den Klassikern der Musik-, aber auch der Filmtheorie. Es entstand als Gemeinschaftsarbeit im amerikanischen Exil, in der Folge zweier von der Rockefeller Foundation geförderter Forschungsprojekte: Im Rahmen des von Paul Lazarsfeld geleiteten »Radio Research Project« betrieb Adorno Studien zur Musik im Rundfunk, die in das zu Lebzeiten Fragment gebliebene Buch Current of Music eingegangen sind; Eisler lotete im »Film Music Project« die Funktionen, Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Filmmusik aus. Dabei galt Eislers Arbeit zunächst weniger abstrakten Analysen und Erwägungen als der Komposition exemplarischer Filmpartituren und der anschließenden Produktion und Evaluation von Demonstrationsfilmen. Zu den künstlerischen Ergebnissen des Projekts zählen das berühmte Quintett Vierzehn Arten den Regen zu beschreiben als neue und neuartige Filmmusik zu Joris Ivens' »cinépoème« Regen ebenso wie die Tonspuren zu White Flood und zu A Child Went Forth, einem frühen Film von Joseph Losey. Auch komponierte Eisler zu einem Ausschnitt aus dem Klassiker The Grapes of Wrath von John Ford zwei experimentelle Filmpartituren als Alternative zu Alfred Newmans Musik in der Verleihfassung. Die DVD, die dem Band beiliegt, dokumentiert diese Filme und Filmmusikexperimente teils in originaler und restaurierter, teils in rekonstruierter Form. Cineasten und Philosophen, Musik- und Kulturwissenschaftler werden gleichermaßen begeistert sein. Erstmals liegt das großangelegte »Film Music Project« in der Form vor, die ihm gebührt.Mit in ihrem originalen deutschen Wortlaut erstmals publizierten Textpassagen, einem Entwurf zum Filmmusikbuch von Theodor W. Adorno und einer zweisprachig (deutsch/englisch) angelegten DVD: »Hanns Eislers Rockefeller-Filmmusik-Projekt 1940–1942«

Humanities & Social SciencesThe Gospel of Prosperity
Literary and critical perspectives about the science of getting right quick
by Luis Miguel Estrada
In 2020, amidst the whirlwind of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ideas from books about the science of becoming a millionaire returned to Luis Miguel Estrada whom, since he left a financial job, has dedicated himself fully to literature. In this book, he thinks some of the key questions raised by bestsellers from Napoleon Hill to Kiyosaki. Do we stop seeking money just because we pursue art? More importantly: regardless of what we do, how do we seek money? Why have narratives like positive thinking and the law of attraction become a universal language that gains strength during each economic crisis? Is there a link between bestsellers about the science of getting rich and great universal literature? This book attempts to answer these questions, beginning with the origins of books on becoming a millionaire, which delve into the agile 19th-century United States, transition through the fast-paced turn of the century, and explode in the years after the Great Depression. The journey continues with examples of wild successes (real-life fraudsters like Elizabeth Holmes or fictional criminals like Walter White from Breaking Bad) that prompt us to question the influence of success-at-any-cost ideas on popular culture, as well as their ethical limits. How can one reconcile readings, cultural products, and experiences that seem so distant? The broader reading audience responds more to "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill than to "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. Is there a way to read them alongside each other and emerge renewed from the experience? This book invites you on that adventure.

Teaching, Language & ReferenceFebruary 2012Workers, state and development in Brazil
Powers of labour, chains of value
by Benjamin Selwyn
How do changing class relations contribute to processes of capitalist development? Within development studies the importance of class relations is usually relegated to lesser status than the roles of states and markets in generating and allocating resources. This book argues that the changing class relations are central to different patterns of capitalist development and that processes and outcomes of class struggle co-determine the form that development takes. Workers, State and Development in Brazil, nominated for the International Political Economy Group (IPGG) Book Prize 2013 and now available in paperback, illuminates these claims through a detailed empirical investigation of class dynamics and capitalist development in North East Brazil's São Francisco valley. It details how workers in the valley's export grape sector have won significant concessions from employers, contributing to a progressive pattern of regional capitalist development. The book will appeal to students and researchers interested in processes of capitalist development, agrarian political economy and international political economy. ;

HorticultureApril 2009Mango
Botany, Production and Uses
by Edited by Richard E Litz
The Mango is one of the oldest cultivated fruit crops, having been grown in India for at least 4000 years. Mango is the most important fruit crop of Asia and its annual production is exceeded worldwide only by Musa, citrus, grapes and apples. The last decade has seen a rapid growth of mango production, mainly due to expansion into new growing regions but also to the adoption of modern field practices and cultivars. A wide range of fresh, mango cultivars are now consumed worldwide and are available year round. The Mango: Botany, Production and Uses, published in 1997, represented the first comprehensive examination of all aspects of modern mango production and research. Developing upon the successful first edition, this book incorporates a discussion of significant advances in mango research that have contributed to improved production and will be highly relevant for researchers and growers alike.

April 2016Nüchtern
Über das Trinken und das Glück
by Daniel Schreiber
»Stellen Sie sich vor, wie Sie ein Walnussbrot aufschneiden, einen provenzalischen Ziegenkäse aus dem Einschlagpapier nehmen, ein paar Muskattrauben dazulegen und sich einen kalifornischen Pinot Noir ins Glas gießen. Wie Sie schon nach dem ersten Schluck spüren, dass jenes warme Gefühl der Entspannung durch Ihren Körper fließt. Wie Sie eine Zufriedenheit spüren, die sich ein bisschen wie Glück anfühlt.« Aber was ist, wenn es nicht bei dem einen Glas Wein bleibt, sondern regelmäßig eine Flasche oder mehr daraus wird? In seinem Bestseller Nüchtern erzählt Daniel Schreiber, wie es sich anfühlt, diese Schwelle zu übertreten. Er berichtet von einer Krankheit, von der die meisten von uns immer noch glauben, dass sie keine ist. Und von der wir annehmen, dass sie nur die anderen, aber niemals uns selbst treffen kann. Kluge Gesellschaftsanalyse, neurobiologisches Sachbuch und literarischer Erfahrungsbericht: Nüchtern ist das Aufklärungsbuch unserer Zeit. Es zeigt uns, dass das Glück nicht im trunkenen Vergessen liegt, sondern darin, ein wirkliches Leben zu führen.

SNOWFLAKE RIVER
A Voyage into the Great Spirit
by Ben Ami Eliahu
The Great Spirit – the common spirit of all mankind, which contains all its emotions and thoughts and enables their transition from one generation to the next – is in danger. It is bleeding. And the consequences can already be felt: a strange, ominous, body-cooling phenomenon is spreading throughout the world, causing a significant decrease in people’s body temperatures. Omer, a sensitive and intelligent boy who suffers from this phenomenon, sets out to investigate it and gets caught up in a worldwide, multi-dimensional adventure. A scientist who has lost his memory reveals to him the spiritglow – the material that connects humanity with its mysterious roots. Obscure characters accompany Omer to the depths of our common memory and thought. They tell him of the all-important snowflakes, and teach him to look from high above into the infinite river of life, for only there, alone and from a distance, will he be able to understand a terrible secret. Snowflake River is an adventure story, yet at the same time it is an allegory of a world haunted by greed, and of the damage that has been inflicted on its delicate equilibrium. In this highly imaginative, surprising, and poetic story, the author describes the struggle between good and evil, old and new, free will and domination, while highlighting the power of simplicity, innocence, and love. This book is intended for adult and young readers alike. Ben Ami Eliahu, 46, is married with one daughter. He lives in Israel and is the son of parents of Indian origin. The novel was mostly written in India, in a cabin within the heart of the forest; the creative process involved has made the author, a software designer by training, move to the country and start growing grapes... 310 pages, 14.5X21 cm

MedicineJuly 2018Are We Pushing Animals to Their Biological Limits?
Welfare and Ethical Implications
by Temple Grandin, Martin Whiting
Stimulating and thought-provoking, this important new text looks at the welfare problems and philosophical and ethical issues that are caused by changes made to an animal's telos, behaviour and physiology, both positive and negative, to make them more productive or adapted for human uses. These changes may involve selective breeding for production, appearance traits, or competitive advantage in sport, transgenic animals or the use of pharmaceuticals or hormones to enhance production or performance. Changes may impose duties to care for these animals further and more intensely, or they may make the animal more robust. The book considers a wide range of animals, including farm animals, companion animals and laboratory animals. It reviews the ethics and welfare issues of animals that have been adapted for sport, as companions, in work, as ornaments, food sources, guarding and a whole host of other human functions. This important new book sparks debate and is essential reading for all those involved in animal welfare and ethics, including veterinarians, animal scientists, animal welfare scientists and ethologists.
