Elton John brachte sich als Kind das Klavierspielen selbst bei. Er liebte es, vor Publikum aufzutreten und die Menschen mit Gesang und Musik zu begeistern. Mit seinen bunten Bühnenoutfits und den riesigen Brillen wurde er zum Superstar. Seit ein Freund von ihm an einer schlimmen Krankheit starb, sammelt er Spenden, um diese Krankheit zu besiegen. Für sein Engagement und seine Musik wurde Elton John sogar zum Ritter geschlagen. L ittle People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Künstlerin, Pilotin oder Wissenschaftler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.
Im Nachkriegsmünchen ist er verfemt, und so geht er mit seiner Frau und den drei Töchtern nach Bolivien, der exzentrische Hans Ertl, einst Riefenstahls erster Kameramann und Rommels ›Leibphotograph‹. Doch auch das neue Leben ist reich an Spannungen, und für seine nächste Expedition, die Suche nach der verlorenen Inkastadt Paititi, muss die ganze Familie einen hohen Preis zahlen. Insbesondere Monika, die älteste Tochter und ihrem Vater frappierend ähnlich, scheint jeden Halt zu verlieren. Was als persönliche Sinnkrise beginnt, wird zu ihrer politischen Radikalisierung führen und sie zu immer extremeren Maßnahmen treiben. Rodrigo Hasbún hat eine spektakuläre historische Episode zu einem hochexplosiven Kammerspiel verdichtet. Er erzählt von den Hoffnungen und Ernüchterungen einer deutschen Familie im südamerikanischen Exil und von den unentrinnbaren Fliehkräften der Geschichte.

Mit der Ehe hat Emma, die Titelheldin in Jane Austens viertem großen Roman, erklärtermaßen nichts im Sinn. Doch andere zu verkuppeln ist geradezu ihr Steckenpferd, das sie bravourös zu beherrschen glaubt. So greift sie in das Leben der 17jährigen Harriet Smith ein, will sie mit dem allseits begehrten Mr. Elton verheiraten und verkennt darüber deren wirkliche Gefühle – sowie ihre eigenen. Emma ist eine satirische »Komödie der Irrungen«, die ein realistisches Bild des englischen Landadels um 1800 zeichnet.

In this volume, eighteen experts from a variety of academic backgrounds explore the use of songs in films from the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking worlds. This volume illustrates how - rather than simply helping to tell the story of - songs in Hispanic and Lusophone cinema commonly upset the hierarchy of the visual over the aural, thereby rendering their hearing a complex and rich subject for analysis. Screening songs... constitutes a ground-breaking, interdisciplinary collection. Of particular interest to scholars and academics in the areas of Film Studies, Hispanic Studies, Lusophone Studies and Musicology, this volume opens up the study of Hispanic and Lusophone cinema to vital, new, critical approaches. The soundtracks of films as varied as City of God, All About My Mother, Bad Education and Buena Vista Social Club are analysed alongside those of lesser-known works that range from the melodramas of Mexican cinema's golden age to Brazilian and Portuguese musical comedies from the 1940s and 1950s. Fiction films are studied alongside documentaries, the work of established directors like Pedro Almodóvar, Carlos Saura and Nelson Pereira dos Santos alongside that of emerging filmmakers, and performances by iconic stars like Caetano Veloso and Chavela Vargas alongside the songs of Spanish Gypsy groups, Mexican folk songs and contemporary Brazilian rap.

Makes available, for the first time in English translation, four of the principal narrative sources for the history of the Spanish kingdom of León-Castile during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Three chronicles focus primarily upon the activities of the kings of León-Castile as leaders of the Reconquest of Spain from the forces of Islam, and especially upon Fernando I (1037-65), his son Alfonso VI (1065-1109) and the latter's grandson Alfonso VII (1126-57). The fourth chronicle is a biography of the hero Rodrigo Díaz, better remembered as El Cid, and is the main source of information about his extraordinary career as a mercenary soldier who fought for Christian and Muslim alike. Covers the fasincating interaction of the Muslim and Christian worlds, each at the height of their power. Each text is prefaced by its own introduction and accompanied by explanatory notes. ;

Es gehört zu den erstaunlichsten Phänomenen der Wissenschafts- und Disziplinentwicklung, daß, obwohl die Technik seit geraumer Zeit zu einer der bestimmenden Größen moderner Gesellschaften geworden ist, es bis heute keine ausgereifte Soziologie der Technik gibt. Dieser Band soll dazu beitragen, wenigstens in Ansätzen die bezeichnete Lücke zu schließen. Das Spektrum der hier vorgestellten Arbeiten ist breit angelegt: Überlegungen zu einer Theorie der Technik, historisch-soziologische Analysen, empirisch ausgerichtete Untersuchungen, programmatische Forschungsansätze und klassisch gewordene Arbeiten zum Themenkomplex. Dabei werden unterschiedliche techniksoziologische Bezüge zu dem politischen, wirtschaftlichen, gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen Bereich hergestellt. Dies ist Ausdruck der Tatsache, daß die technische Entwicklung keine isolierte Größe bildet, wie vor nicht langer Zeit noch oft behauptet wurde. Im Gegenteil: die Bedingungen und Folgen der Technik bleiben weitgehend unverständlich, solange es nicht gelingt, sie in einen breiteren Kontext zu stellen. Dieses Ziel könnte mit Hilfe soziologischer Analysen greifbarer werden.

This unique picture book is a creation of Khrystyna Lukashchuk, a well-known Ukrainian author and artist recognized as one of the best illustrators of independent Ukraine. From the emergence of Ukraine through its darkest times to its final victory over evil, A Tale Of Light allows us to find answers to dramatic questions: how can we explain to children why there is a war in their country? Why can not the enemy leave the Ukrainian land in peace? What will help us to defeat the enemy for good? The profound symbolic images that the author recreated will guide the readers along their journey. Ukrainians have been tapping into them for long times to find a source of harmony and internal strength – they are a powerful source of Light sustained by Ukrainian history, culture, and language. No enemy, however big or conniving, can destroy this Light. From 3 to 6 years, 719 words Rightsholders: bondarenkosvetlak@gmail.com

May the Loveforce Be With introduces a new lineage in energy healing, Kali-Ki ReikiTM, that was revealed to the author, Joni Dittrich, Ph.D. (Rajashree Maa), in a series of mystical encounters with the Divine Mother appearing as the goddess Kali Maa. The book brilliantly tells the stories of these encounters and presents the healing symbols that She revealed, explaining how these symbols can be used both for mind-body healing and spiritual awakening, or what Rajashree Maa calls "wisening." While traditional reiki systems also use symbols to transmit healing energy, the symbols introduced in Kali-Ki Reiki are seen as unique, three-dimensional, active, intelligent forms of light that tap into certain universal energy frequencies that are particularly attuned to the evolving conscious awareness as well as the personal and societal dilemmas of our current times. The fact that these symbols were revealed by Divine Mother to a woman in this era points to a need in today's world to re-establish our connection with the feminine forces of nature and spirit. The healing energy transmitted through these symbols is called Loveforce, which is considered to be the manifesting, creative, and healing power of the Limitless Love that is the Source of all that is.
