Thomas Bernhard hat sich selten auf Interviews vor laufender Kamera eingelassen. Die Fernsehjournalistin Krista Fleischmann allerdings schätzte er als einfühlsame Gesprächspartnerin, mit der zusammen zwei – mittlerweile legendäre – Filminterviews entstanden: die Monologe auf Mallorca (1981) und der in Madrid gedrehte Film Die Ursache bin ich selbst (1986). Ein Interview zu Bernhards 1984 erschienenem Roman Holzfällen rundet diesen Band ab, der über die Filmfassungen hinaus auch die nicht gesendeten Texte enthält. Bernhard selbst fand Krista Fleischmanns Arbeit »ganz großartig ... Am liebsten würde ich sofort wieder etwas mit Ihnen machen, meinen Nachruf vielleicht.«Nachdenklich und charmant, unterhaltsam, ironisch und maßlos übertreibend – Thomas Bernhard zeigt sich in diesem Band für Einsteiger wie für Kenner von seiner besten, von einer höchst vergnüglichen Seite.

Einen unfilmischeren Erzähler als Thomas Bernhard kann man sich kaum vorstellen: Er verachtete Details und Beschreibungen, vermied es peinlich genau, mit der Sprache die Möglichkeiten des Bilds nachzuahmen. »Ich schreib’ immer nur Begriffe, und da heißt’s immer Berge oder eine Stadt oder Straßen, aber wie die ausschauen …« Welchen Mehrwert das Medium Film trotz oder gerade wegen der Bernhardschen Invektivkaskaden haben kann, dokumentieren die beiden langen Interviews, die die Journalistin Krista Fleischmann in den achtziger Jahren auf Mallorca und in Madrid mit ihm führte. Sie zeigen Bernhard, der sich vom Kameramann extra »unkonventionelle Bilder« gewünscht hatte, »die man üblicherweise wegwirft«, von seiner besten, seiner vergnüglichsten Seite: am Hafen, beim Stierkampf und in Cafés. Dabei plaudert er über die Lust und den Tod, über die Unterhosen des Papstes und die Frauen im allgemeinen, über Bach und das Fernsehen – in diesem Fall das spanische: »Und wenn man die Sprache nicht versteht, ist das sehr erholsam, weil man immer mehr hineintut, als sie wirklich aussagen, die Bilder, wahrscheinlich.«

At the young age of 14, Ansel Adams found his life's work. Growing up in San Francisco in the early 1900s, Adams traveled with his family to Yosemite National Park in 1916 and fell in love with the breathtaking scenery. After exploring the natural wonders of the park, Adams began to study the art of photography—thereby influencing generations of people who would view his work. His striking images of the American West, including Yosemite's mountains, valleys, and waters, raised awareness of the natural beauty of America and the need to conserve and protect it. In this eBook, readers will explore the beautiful images of this photographer who encouraged a nation to cherish the natural wonders it possessed.

Praise for the previous edition: "...clear and detailed...informative...comprehensive...will be [a] useful addition to most libraries."—School Library Journal The versatility of carbon is what makes this element such a large part of human life. All life on Earth is carbon-based, and humans cannot live without it. In addition, most of the energy that humans use to power homes and cars comes from carbon combustion. As a result of these multiple, widespread uses of carbon, humans have accidentally disrupted the Earth's balance of this element—with largely unknown future consequences. Now, science looks to the chemistry of carbon to set the balance straight. Carbon Chemistry, Third Edition describes how carbon is an essential element for life on Earth, where it is found in everyday life, and what is being done to offset the increased carbon emissions modern life has caused.

Praise for the previous edition: "...aided by clear diagrams and photographs, as well as sidebars that cover historical background, notable scientists, and practical applications of the chemistry concepts."—The Horn Book Guide Without the different states of matter—the solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas that make up our universe—the world would be a very boring place. States of matter are constantly changing form all around us: hot showers steam up the bathroom mirror, gaseous water falls to the ground as snow, liquid escapes from our skin to cool the body, and plasma moves from the atmosphere to the surface of the Earth via lightning strikes. But, as readers of this insightful eBook will learn, these things don't happen by accident. States of Matter: Gases, Liquids, Solids, and Plasmas, Third Edition deciphers the science behind these chemical states to present an engaging and eye-opening reference enhanced by full-color photographs and illustrations.

This book is the first investigation on how official organizers built and sustained the national militant campaign of the Women's Social and Political Union between 1903 and 1918. Whilst the overall policy of the Union was devised by an ever-decreasing circle of women, centred around the mother-daughter team of Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst, much of its actual activity, including its more extreme militant actions such as arson, was devised and implemented by these organizers who worked in the provinces and in London. Women of the right spirit reveals organizers to be a diverse bunch of women, whose class backgrounds ranged from the aristocratic to the extremely impoverished. It describes the ways in which they were recruited and deployed, and the work they undertook throughout Britain. The exhausting pace of their itinerant life is revealed as well as the occasions when organizers fell out with their employers or their own branches. Taking the story of the WSPU's workers up to the end of the First World War, it considers what directions they took when votes for women became a reality. The book will appeal to academics, postgraduates and undergraduates with an interest in women's history, as well as a more general readership wishing to understand the extent of support for the votes for women campaign and the mechanisms through which it organized. ;

This book examines the effects that land-use changes (notably agricultural intensification, logging, soil erosion, urbanisation and mining) have on soil characteristics and processes in tropical and savannah environments. It covers a range of geographical regions and environments as impacts of land use change are often site specific. The effects of land use change on various aspects of the soil ecosystem from both a chemical and biological perspective will be examined.
