        Roy Ward Baker

        by Geoff Mayer, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard

        This book traces the career of Roy Ward Baker, one of the great survivors of the British film and television industry. He directed the landmark British film Morning Departure (1949), worked at Twentieth Century Fox in Hollywood in the early 1950s where he directed Marilyn Monroe's 'breakthrough' film (Don't Bother to Knock), and followed this with a succession of fine films for Rank, culminating in the best version of the Titanic disaster, A Night to Remember in 1958. Yet within three years he was unable to secure a job in the British film industry and he moved to television series such as The Avengers, The Saint and Minder. Later Baker re-emerged as a major director of science-fiction (Quatermass and the Pit) and horror films (Asylum). Geoff Mayer provides an industrial and aesthetic context in which to understand the interrelationship between a skilled classical director and the transformation of the British film industry in the 1950s. ;

        Die Atemlehrerin

        Wie Carola Spitz aus Berlin floh und die Achtsamkeit nach New York mitnahm

        by Christoph Ribbat

        Eine Dame mit leichtem deutschen Akzent unterrichtet Achtsamkeit in New York City: wie man bewusst atmet, den Körper erspürt und den Stress der Großstadt überlebt. Ihr Studio ist ein Geheimtipp für Sängerinnen, Tänzerinnen und verkrampfte Büromenschen. Ihre Schülerinnen meinen, sie sei ganz und gar entspannt. Aber ihre eigene, schmerzhafte Vergangenheit hält sie vor ihnen geheim. Die Atemlehrerin erzählt die berührende Geschichte der Carola Joseph. Die Gymnastiklehrerin, 1901 geboren, lebt, arbeitet, forscht in Berlin, heiratet, heißt nun Carola Spitz, und verlässt die Stadt erst, als es fast schon zu spät ist. Sie wird zu einem jüdischen Flüchtling unter Zehntausenden, etabliert sich als »Carola Speads« in Manhattan und lehrt, als sie 98 Jahre alt ist, noch immer in ihrem Studio am Central Park. Christoph Ribbat verknüpft eine Biografie aus nächster Nähe mit der Geschichte von Atemübungen und Gymnastikexperimenten im 20. Jahrhundert. Aus dem Nachlass einer nahezu unbekannten Emigrantin entsteht eine fesselnde Familien- und Kulturgeschichte. Wer sie liest, wird selbst beginnen, ganz bewusst Luft zu holen. Das – sagt Carola Spitz/Speads – macht glücklich.

        8 BILLION REASONS POPULATION MATTERS

        The Defining Issue of the 21st Century

        by Valorie M. Allen

        The world is about to hit a population level of EIGHT BILLION people on one small planet. Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth. Our planet's greatest threat is of too many people depleting the Earth's resources and contributing to climate change. Allen offers a thorough analysis of our environmental, social, political, and economic crises; then offers a treasure trove of solutions and success stories that we can all take to heart.

        Scottishness and Irishness in New Zealand since 1840

        by Angela McCarthy, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

        This book examines the distinctive aspects that insiders and outsiders perceived as characteristic of Irish and Scottish ethnic identities in New Zealand. When, how, and why did Irish and Scots identify themselves and others in ethnic terms? What characteristics did the Irish and the Scots attribute to themselves and what traits did others assign to them? Did these traits change over time and if so how? Contemporary interest surrounding issues of ethnic identities is vibrant. In countries such as New Zealand, descendants of European settlers are seeking their ethnic origins, spurred on in part by factors such as an ongoing interest in indigenous genealogies, the burgeoning appeal of family history societies, and the booming financial benefits of marketing ethnicities abroad. This fascinating book will appeal to scholars and students of the history of empire and the construction of identity in settler communities, as well as those interested in the history of New Zealand.
