Tore wie gemalt

Weltstars zeichnen ihr Lieblingstor | Das perfekte Geschenk für jeden Fußballfan | Zur Fußball-Europameisterschaft 2024

by Javier Cáceres, Jorge Valdano

ÜBER 100 FUSSBALL-SPIELER ZEICHNEN UND ERZÄHLEN IHRE WICHTIGSTEN TORE Jedes Tor erzählt eine Geschichte. Es kann ein Spiel drehen, Meisterschaften entscheiden, ein Leben verändern. Ein spektakuläres Tor ist unvergesslich – und in jeder Fußballerkarriere gibt es diesen Moment puren Glücks, der für immer bleibt. Seit Jahren interviewt Javier Cáceres die bedeutendsten Fußballer der Welt. Eines Abends kam ihm die Idee, seinem Gegenüber einen Notizblock und einen Stift in die Hand zu drücken und ihn zu bitten, sein bestes, wichtigstes oder spektakulärstes Tor zu zeichnen. Entstanden ist eine einzigartige Sammlung von über 100 Zeichnungen, die nicht nur der alten Reporterfloskel »ein Tor wie gemalt« eine völlig neue Bedeutung verleihen, sondern auch eine andere Art Fußballgeschichte schreiben. Mario Götze • Rudi Völler • Franz Beckenbauer • Gary Lineker • Luis Figo • Alfredo Di Stéfano • César Luis Menotti • Just Fontaine • Jorge Valdano • Michel Platini • Michael Ballack • Oliver Bierhoff • Thomas Hitzlsperger • Lothar Matthäus • Pep Guardiola • Felix Magath • Uli Hoeneß • Xabi Alonso • Lionel Scaloni • Paul Breitner • Bobby Charlton • George Weah • Pelé • Günter Netzer • Xavi Hernández und viele mehr, die bei Fußball-Europameisterschaften und -Weltmeisterschaften legendäre Tore erzielt und unvergessliche Momente geschaffen haben.

Feline Reproduction

by Aime Johnson, Michelle Kutzler

Cats are one of the most popular pets in the world, and as homes become smaller, and single-person households become more common, it is predicted that the numbers being bred and kept will only grow. In Feline Reproduction, the global author team cover all aspects of reproduction in the queen and the tom. Beginning with basic anatomy and normal reproduction, it goes on to cover practical knowledge about pregnancy, neonatal care, breeding soundness exams, and semen cryopreservation. It also includes an overview of factors, diseases, and abnormal conditions affecting reproduction, such as infertility, causes of abortion and contraception. Covering both pet patients and nondomestic species, this book provides a thorough grounding in feline reproduction for the general veterinary practitioner, veterinary student, animal scientist, and experienced cat breeder.

Pilgrims: Values And Identities

by Darius Liutikas, Ali Thompson, María Ángeles Piñeiro Antelo, Pedro Azevedo, Derek Dalton, Luciana Thais Villa Gonzalez, Rubén C. Lois-González, Luis Alfonso Escudero Gómez, Rami K Isaac, Elyor E. Karimov, Kumi Kato, Darius Liutikas, Lucrezia Lopez, Dane Munro, Daniel H Olsen, Josephine Pryce, Ricardo Nicolas Progano, Xerardo Pereiro, Kip Redick, Larry Russell, Pravin S. Rana, Rana P. B. Singh, Xosé M. Santos, Augusta X. Thomson, Dallen J Timothy, Slawoj Tanas, Shin Yasuda

Values-rich journeys can be described as pilgrimage, spiritual travel, personal heritage tourism, holistic tourism, and valuistic journeys. There are many motivations for undertaking values-rich journeys; the most important including personal values, personal and social identity, life experience, lifestyle, social and cultural influence. The main types of pilgrim journeys are traditional religious or spiritual journeys as well as secular journeys related with the expression of national, communal or personal identity, e.g. the journeys of sport and music fans. The manifestation of personal and social identity has different forms and rituals and constitutes different models of a specific behaviour. The journeys are often embraced as potential instruments for life altering experiences. This book presents contributions that address pilgrim motivation, identity and values as they are shaped by the broader sociological, psychological, cultural and environmental perspectives. With a focus on travellers themselves and their inner world through the lens of their pilgrimage. The research presented focuses on the typology of pilgrim journeys as ways in which identity and values are presented to a post-modern consumer society, providing interesting and challenging perspectives on the identity of pilgrims in the 21st century.

Plant diseases where more than one pathogen is involved in the infection process are commonly termed as "complex" since their diagnosis and subsequent control are more complicated. A disease complex is produced through a synergistic interaction between two organisms, such as plant nematodes and soil-borne fungi or bacteria. Interactions between nematodes and other pathogens are found on a range of agricultural crops globally. Economically, disease complexes are important because the sum of the damage is greater than the effect of the two organisms causing disease independently. Equally, some diseases (e.g. Verticillium wilt) become more aggressive when nematodes are present, even if the inoculum density is low. Plant nematodes can also act as vectors and carry fungi and bacteria to the susceptible tissue or introduce viruses into the host plant. Overall, the development of a disease complex is influenced by several factors such as the engaged pathogens, their mutual relationship and time of invasion, the host plant species and the prevailing environment. Nematode Disease Complexes discusses the different roles that plant nematodes play in the formation of a disease complex. It provides an account of the agricultural significance, aetiology and epidemiology of important disease complexes and their management strategies based on integration of conventional, current and innovative approaches.

Hungry Generations

A Novel

by Daniel C. Melnick

At the center of “Hungry Generations” is the great European piano virtuoso Alexander Petrov, one of the émigré geniuses who lived in the incredible community of gifted Europeans in Los Angeles during the Second World War. Fleeing from Nazi Germany, the legendary classical pianist – like Schoenberg, Stravinsky, the Werfels, and the Manns – settled in L.A. and attempted to raise a family there on the edge of the Pacific. In September of 1972, Jack Weinstein – a young composer and a distant relation of Petrov – is newly arrived in L.A., living near Venice beach and seeking a job in the movie studios. Jack develops a friendship with the émigré virtuoso, who is nearing seventy and struggling to maintain his psychic and physical health in the midst of intense conflicts with his wife and his adult children. The renowned pianist tells the young man stories of his life from the thirties to the present, and soon Jack is absorbed into the family life of the Petrovs. Jack becomes a catalyst for confrontations among the Petrovs, as he intrudes on the family’s delicate balances. He falls in love with the pianist’s daughter, Sarah, who becomes Jack’s troubled muse, and in one climax, the father erupts in jealousy and desperation, assaulting his daughter’s lover. The son Joseph Petrov is a gifted, cynical, intense pianist himself, who also befriends Jack; resentments – new and old – build between son and father, and these too erupt in destruction and self-destructiveness. Also, Joseph is gay, and after a surreal New Year’s Eve party at the Polo Lounge, he makes a pass at drunk, dismayed Jack. Then there is Petrov’s wife, Helen, and her confession to Jack is one of the final assaults on the young composer. The remarkable expatriates living in Los Angeles during World War II figure both in Petrov’s stories and in Jack’s inner struggle to resurrect himself in the face of his experience of the Petrovs, of music, of sex, of the movie studios, of L.A. itself. During the year 1972-73, Jack composes a piano sonata infused with his love of Petrov’s famed recording of Beethoven’s Hammerklavier Sonata as well as the music of Stravinsky and Schoenberg – those composers even begin to enter Jack’s dreams, simultaneously blessing and critiquing him as he works in his Venice apartment. Hungry Generations paints a vivid portrait of the conflicts and struggles which erupt in L.A.’s singular expatriate community. At the center of the novel is finally the confrontation between émigré parents who survived the Holocaust at the peculiar remove of Los Angeles and their grown children. Each “hungry generations” reveals its yearning for meaning, love, and transcendence.
