Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics. 'How fleeting are the wishes and efforts of man! how short his time! and consequently how poor will his products be, compared with those accumulated by nature during whole geological periods.' Still considered one of the…most important and groundbreaking works of science ever written, Darwin's eminently readable exploration of the evolutionary process challenged most of the strong beliefs of the Western world. Forced to question the idea of the Creator, mid-nineteenth century readers were faced with Darwin's theories on the laws of natural selection and the randomness of evolution, causing massive controversy at the time. However, Darwin's theories remain instrumental in providing the backbone to modern biology today. 624 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Eran Shakine wurde als Sohn eines französischen Vaters und einer ungarischen Mutter in Israel geboren. Beide Eltern waren Überlebende des Holocaust und wanderten Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs nach Israel aus.Shakine lebte in Paris und London sowie sieben Jahre lang in New York, wo er ein Stipendium der A…rt Matters Foundation erhielt und Assistent des Cobra-Künstlers Carl Appel war. Einzelausstellungen seiner Werke wurden im Drawing Center in New York gezeigt, aber auch in London, Paris, Brüssel, Toronto und Tel Aviv. Auch in den Sammlungen bedeutender Museen wie dem British Museum in London, dem Aachener Museum Ludwig sowie dem Tel Aviv Museum und dem Israel Museum in Jerusalem ist er mit seinen Werken vertreten, ebenso wie in vielen Privatsammlungen. Shakine lebt mit seiner Frau Maya und seinen drei Kindern Zoë, Mika und Adam in Tel Aviv und London.Die Autorin Nuit Banai promovierte in Kunstgeschichte an der Columbia University und ist Dozentin im Department of Visual and Critical Studies der Tufts University, School des Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Sie verfasst regelmäßig Beiträge für Artforum International, ist Mitherausgeberin von Art Papers und hat für Art Journal, Frieze, Modern Painters und Time Out New York geschrieben.Dieser Band erscheint in der Edition Jürgen B. Tesch.; Simple Skizzen mit Ölkreide können die Welt nicht verändern, das weiß Eran Shakine. Wer sich aber einlässt auf die Arbeiten des israelischen Künstlers, wird überrascht. Hinter den scheinbar saloppen Bildern steckt ein ernsthaftes Konzept. Sinn und Unsinn sowie Wert und Wertlosigkeit der Kunstszene sind die Themen in Eran Shakines humorvoll-kritischem Werk »Sunny Side Up«.Künstler, Architekten und Designer Drei der fünf Kapitel des Bildbandes widmen sich den Kunst-Ikonen der Neuzeit. Der in Tel Aviv und London lebende Eran Shakine porträtiert Künstler, Architekten und Modedesigner. Er stellt sich grundlegende Fragen der Kunstszene: Wie entsteht Kunst Muss ein Künstler ein Genie sein Reicht es, zur richtigen Zeit eine gute Idee zu haben In seinen Skizzen macht er sich Gedanken zu den Werken seiner Kollegen: Was hat beispielsweise Josef Albers zu seinem berühmten Werk »Hommage to the Square« inspiriert Eran Shakine geht die Deutung augenzwinkernd an: Er mutmaßt, es könnte ein einfaches Spiegelei gewesen sein, ein »egg sunny side up«.Mit nur wenigen Strichen arbeitet Eran Shakine das individuelle Wesen der Persönlichkeit in den Skizzen heraus und bringt die Kreativen in Verbindung zu ihren Kunstwerken. In jeder seiner Skizzen steckt eine Portion wohldurchdachten und exakt pointierten Humors. Den Architekten Norman Foster, Frank Lloyd Wright und Zaha Hadid setzt Eran Shakine ihre Kunstwerke als Kopfbedeckung auf. Designer wie Tom Ford, Yves Saint Laurent und John Galliano steckt er in ihre eigenen Kreationen.Trotz der ironischen, teils abstrusen Darstellungen würdigt Eran Shakine seine Kollegen und stellt sie nicht bloß.John und Yoko: in den Skizzen von Eran Shakine nur eine LiebesgeschichteEin weiteres Kapitel des Bildbands »Sunny Side Up« ist eine Hommage an John Lennon und Yoko Ono. Die romantische Darstellung der Verliebten zeigt, wie viel Gefühl in einer einfachen Ölkreidezeichnung stecken kann. John und Yoko kämpften mit ihrer Liebe für Frieden. Ihre Aktionen waren ernst gemeinte Gesten in einer verzweifelten Zeit. Doch gute Ideen bringen nichts, wenn sie nicht gehört werden. Erst der Medienhype verschaffte dem Paar weltweites Gehör. Hätten John und Yoko ihre Berühmtheit nicht genutzt, wären sie ein ganz normales Ehepaar gewesen - so wie in Eran Shakines Skizzen.Eran Shakine übt humorvoll Kritik am Kunstmarkt In den Skizzen der Serie 'Museum Art World betrachtet Eran Shakine den Kunstmarkt auf spielerische, witzige Art, ohne an Kritik zu sparen. Auf dem Bild »Ten Seconds« vermerkt er mit süffisanter Ironie: »People - when they go to museums spend an average of TEN seconds with each work and half of that time is spent reading the LABEL«. Zu se.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Die amerikanische Photographin Judith Joy Ross, geb. 1946, hat im Lauf der letzten 30 Jahre einen sehr eigenen, oft autobiographisch motivierten Blick für das Alltagsleben des Durchschnittsamerikaners entwickelt. In ihrem Heimatstaat Pennsylvania suchte sie etwa Schulen auf, in die sie selbst gegangen…war, und photographierte dort Schüler von heute. Es entstand eine Serie einfühlsamer Portraits, die viel vom Kindsein und Erwachsenwerden, von meist nur nomineller Chancengleichheit und dem Leben in der amerikanischen Provinz erzählen. Aufsehen erregte Ross in den 80er Jahren mit einer Reihe von Portraitstudien, die sie vor dem Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington aufnahm. Die psychologische Bandbreite der Reaktionen und Empfindungen, die sich in den Gesichtern der anonymen Besucher dieses Gedenkorts abzeichnen, ist beeindruckend. Das vielfach ausgezeichnete Portraitwerk von Judith Joy Ross, die mit einer Großbildkamera und ausschließlich in Schwarzweiß arbeitet, steht in der Tradition eines August Sander oder des 'dokumentarischen Stils' von Walker Evans. Unser Bildband, der eine Ausstellung der Photographischen Sammlung SK Stiftung Kultur, Köln begleitet und von ihr herausgegeben wird, stellt Ross' Werk erstmals umfassend vor. 144 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -START-UP NATION addresses the trillion dollar question: How is it that Israel-- a country of 7.1 million, only 60 years old, surrounded by enemies, in a constant state of war since its founding, with no natural resources-- produces more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations… like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada and the UK With the savvy of foreign policy insiders, Senor and Singer examine the lessons of the country's adversity-driven culture, which flattens hierarchy and elevates informality-- all backed up by government policies focused on innovation. In a world where economies as diverse as Ireland , Singapore and Dubai have tried to re-create the ' Israel effect', there are entrepreneurial lessons well worth noting. As America reboots its own economy and can-do spirit, there's never been a better time to look at this remarkable and resilient nation for some impressive, surprising clues. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -What the world can learn from Israel's meteoric economic success. Start-Up Nation addresses the trillion dollar question: How is it that Israel -- a country of 7.1 million, only 60 years old, surrounded by enemies, in a constant state of war since its founding, with no natural resources-- produc…es more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada and the UK With the savvy of foreign policy insiders, Senor and Singer examine the lessons of the country's adversity-driven culture, which flattens hierarchy and elevates informality-- all backed up by government policies focused on innovation. In a world where economies as diverse as Ireland, Singapore and Dubai have tried to re-create the 'Israel effect', there are entrepreneurial lessons well worth noting. As America reboots its own economy and can-do spirit, there's never been a better time to look at this remarkable and resilient nation for some impressive, surprising clues.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 'March' and 'People of the Book'. A young woman's struggle to save her family and her soul during the extraordinary year of 1666, when plague suddenly struck a small Derbyshire village. In 1666, plague swept through London, driving the King and his court… to Oxford, and Samuel Pepys to Greenwich, in an attempt to escape contagion. The north of England remained untouched until, in a small community of leadminers and hill farmers, a bolt of cloth arrived from the capital. The tailor who cut the cloth had no way of knowing that the damp fabric carried with it bubonic infection. So begins the Year of Wonders, in which a Pennine village of 350 souls confronts a scourge beyond remedy or understanding. Desperate, the villagers turn to sorcery, herb lore, and murderous witch-hunting. Then, led by a young and charismatic preacher, they elect to isolate themselves in a fatal quarantine. The story is told through the eyes of Anna Frith who, at only 18, must contend with the death of her family, the disintegration of her society, and the lure of a dangerous and illicit attraction. Geraldine Brooks's novel explores love and learning, fear and fanaticism, and the struggle of 17th century science and religion to deal with a seemingly diabolical pestilence. 'Year of Wonders' is also an eloquent memorial to the real-life Derbyshire villagers who chose to suffer alone during England's last great plague. 336 pp. Englisch.

TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT'Fabulously rich, highly compelling.' INDEPENDENT'Chock-full of sublimity and sin.' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW'Wonderful, dreamy, passionate and… august.' SPECTATORIn the late 1590s, the Sultan secretly commissions a great book: a celebration of his life and his empire, to be illuminated by the best artists of the day - in the European manner. At a time of violent fundamentalism, however, this is a dangerous proposition. Even the illustrious circle of artists are not allowed to know for whom they are working. But when one of the miniaturists is murdered, their Master has to seek outside help. Did the dead painter fall victim to professional rivalry, romantic jealousy or religious terror With the Sultan demanding an answer within three days, perhaps the clue lies somewhere in the half-finished pictures.Orhan Pamuk is one of the world''s leading contemporary novelists and in My Name is Red, he fashioned an unforgettable tale of suspense, and an artful meditation on love and deception. 544 pp. Englisch.
