        Bertrand Blier

        by Sue Harris

        The most complete study of Blier's work to date, Harris traces the director's career from the early 1960s until the present. Outlines the forms, themes and style which dominate in Blier's work, and challenges the many labels that have been used to describe both the corpus of films and the man himself. Provides an original and controversial discussion of Blier's alleged 'misogyny', and invites the reader to understand the scatological and corporeal aspects of Blier's filmmaking in terms of long-established traditions of popular dramatic culture. Brings to light the comic mechanisms underpinning Blier's films and identifies strategies which navigate through one of the most entertaining and disconcerting bodies of work of recent years. The first book on Blier published in English.

        Das Dubliner Tagebuch des Stanislaus Joyce

        by Stanislaus Joyce, George Harris Healey, Arno Schmidt

        Stanislaus Joyce hat Tagebücher hinterlassen, von denen einige, aus der Zeit vom Herbst 1903 bis zum April 1905, hier vorliegen. Sie ergänzen das uns aus »Meines Bruders Hüter« (st273) bekannte Bild der Familie Joyce und ihrer Freunde, geben ehrlichen, oft mürrischen, häufig haßerfüllten Einblick in deren elendes Alltagsleben und zeigen schon in diesen frühen Jahren die Mischung aus Bewunderung und Verachtung, die für das Verhältnis von Stanislaus zu James lebenslänglich entscheidend gewesen ist. James pflegte diese Aufzeichnungen zu lesen und hat sie bisweilen für seine Werke ebenso ausgenutzt wie Stanislaus später für sein Erinnerungsbuch. Niemand wird in diesen Tagebüchern so häufig erwähnt wie der Bruder James, und so enthalten sie wichtige Aufschlüsse über die Jahre, in denen dieser an »Kammermusik«, »Stephen der Held«, »Ein Porträt des Künstlers als junger Mann« arbeitete. Wieviel Wirklichkeit in die Werke von James eingegangen ist, wird erst sichtbar durch die zahlreichen Anmerkungen, die der Übersetzer Arno Schmidt für den deutschen Leser beigesteuert hat.

        Albert Einsteins Relativitätstheorie

        Von Carl Wilkinson | Ganzseitige, prächtige Illustrationen in Großformat | Physik verständlich erklärt für Kinder ab 9 Jahre

        by Carl Wilkinson, James Weston Lewis, Ebi Naumann

        Albert Einstein hat nicht nur die berühmteste Gleichung der Welt erfunden: E = mc2. Er hat auch einige erstaunliche Phänomene rund um Zeit, Raum, Licht und Relativität entdeckt. Dazu gehört, dass Astronauten im Weltraum langsamer altern als Menschen auf der Erde (das berühmte Zwillingsparadoxon). Oder, dass feste Gegenstände bei hoher Geschwindigkeit ihre Form verändern. Dazu verhalf ihm seine Fähigkeit, Autoritäten und allgemein anerkannte Lehrmeinungen der Wissenschaft in Frage zu stellen. »Autoritätsdusel ist der größte Feind der Wahrheit«, schrieb er einmal. Einstein dachte visuell und überlegte sich lustige Experimente. Mit anschaulichen, großformatigen Bildern und verständlichen Erklärungen führt dieses Buch ein in Einsteins faszinierende Gedankenwelt und Entdeckungen, die bis in die heutige Zeit fortwirken: Kernspaltung, Schwerefeld, Ereignishorizont, Higgs-Boson und schwarze Löcher erforschen wir heute auf der Grundlage von Einsteins Erkenntnissen. Er hat die Welt für immer verändert.

        Men, ideas and tanks

        British military thought and armoured forces, 1903?39

        by J. P. Harris

        Men, ideas and tanks reviews the development of British military ideas on armoured forces from 1903 to 1939. Great Britain was the nation which first developed the tank, first used it in action and first gained dramatic results by employment. The British continued to be world leaders in the field of mechanised warfare until the early 1930s. J. P. Harris offers strikingly new interpretations of the early history of British armoured forces and explains why Great Britain had lost the lead by the outbreak of the Second World War. Available in paperback once more, this work will be of interest to all those concerned with British military history in the first half of the twentieth century, with the history of mechanised warfare and with the history of military thought. ;

        From Perversion to Purity

        The stardom of Catherine Deneuve

        by Lisa Downing, Sue Harris

        Catherine Deneuve is indisputably one of the world's most celebrated actresses, both in her native France and throughout the world. Her career has spanned five decades during which she has worked with the most significant of French auteurs, as well as forging partnerships with international directors such as Bunuel and Polanski. The Deneuve star persona has attained such iconic status that it can now symbolise the very essence of French womanhood and civic identity. In this wide-ranging and authoritative collection of essays by a selection of international film academics and writers, the Deneuve persona is scrutinised and illuminated. Beyond the glamorous iconographic status of Yves Saint Laurent's muse, and the epitome of sexual inviolability, Deneuve's status as actress is foregrounded. The book will be essential reading for students and lecturers in star studies.
