Against Nature Huysmans Joris K.Paperback softback

Duc Jean des Esseintes, the wealthy last survivor of a once-powerful family, has retreated from his bourgeois life in Paris. Overwhelmed by the absurdities and grotesqueries of human affairs, he dwells in an isolated villa, spending his days in intellectual and aesthetic contemplation. In an environment of ascetic medievalism and hermit-like seclusion, des Esseintes reviews the compendium of human experience. Color, food and drink, literature, art, music, philosophy, and religion--all are scrutinized, sifted, and analyzed according to his delicate, highly selective tastes.Filled with weird images, manifestations of a bizarre imagination, and biting wit, this novel scandalized Victorian critics with its break from naturalism and embrace of fin-de-si cle decadence. It nevertheless exerted considerable influence over French and English writers and remains a classic account of

Dead Precedents - How Hip-Hop Defines the Future Christopher RoyPaperback softback

This book is about is the many ways that the foundations of hip-hop appropriation--allusions and creative language use, as well as technology and self-reference--inform the new millennium.Dead Precedents: The Hacking and Haunting of Hip-Hop uses the means and methods of cyberpunk and hauntology to thoughtfully remap hip-hop's spread from around the way to around the world. Its central argument is that the cultural practices of hip-hop culture are the blueprint to 21st century culture, and that an understanding of the appropriation of language and technology is an understanding of the now. Memories once firmly rooted in places in the past now float free of historical context. We all share memories courtesy of the mass media, and its rampant reproduction of

Model Checking Jr. Edmund M. Clarke Carnegie Mellon UniversityPevná vazba

An expanded and updated edition of a comprehensive presentation of the theory and practice of model checking, a technology that automates the analysis of complex systems.Model checking is a verification technology that provides an algorithmic means of determining whether an abstract model--representing, for example, a hardware or software design--satisfies a formal specification expressed as a temporal logic formula. If the specification is not satisfied, the method identifies a counterexample execution that shows the source of the problem. Today, many major hardware and software companies use model checking in practice, for verification of VLSI circuits, communication protocols, software device drivers, real-time embedded systems, and security algorithms. This book offers a comprehensive presentation of the theory and practice of model checking, covering the

Sniping Rifles on the Eastern Front 1939-45 Pegler MartinPaperback softback

Fully illustrated, this absorbing study investigates the development of sniping weapons and techniques on World War II's Eastern Front.The Soviet Union had developed a significant sniping force by 1939, but the extraordinary skill and cunning displayed by Finnish snipers during the Winter War forced the Soviets to innovate. On the other side, German sniping suffered from a lack of standardization of weapons and a lack of marksmen deployed at the start of the Great Patriotic War (1941-45). There were few heroes in the conflict, but on both sides, the snipers were idolized - especially on the Soviet side gaining almost mythical status.As well as traditional bolt-action weapons, both sides used several types of semi-automatic rifle, such as the SVT-38 and the Gew 41. Offering greater firepower at the expense of long-range accuracy, such weapons would be profoundly

"The most beautiful pastel ever seen" - The Chocolate Girl by Jean-Etienne Liotard Koja StephanPevná vazba

The Chocolate Girl is one of the most famous works by the Swiss artist Jean- tienne Liotard (1702-1789). This remarkable painting shows an unknown domestic servant--until then a rarely chosen subject--carrying a luxurious chocolate drink on a platter. Its sober and precise observation exemplifies the art of the Enlightenment and anticipates the realism of the nineteenth century. The painting had a tremendous effect in its time--deemed "the most beautiful pastel ever seen" by Liotard's contemporary Rosalba Carriera--and remains influential today.This richly illustrated volume leads the reader through the age in which The Chocolate Girl was created, during the French-inspired rococo, and in the Vienna of Empress Maria Theresa. Situating the painting alongside characteristic works from other creative periods, the editors illuminate the art of pastel painting in which

Spanien: Mozarabischer Jakobsweg Hennemann MichaelPaperback

Als Mozaraber werden die Mitglieder christliche Minderheit in Südspanien während der islamischen Herrschaft der Mauren vom 8. bis zum 15.Jahrhundert bezeichnet. Der Mozarabische Jakobsweg ermöglicht es Pilgern sich aus dem südlichen Spanien auf den Weg nach Santiago de Compostela zu machen. Der über 400 km lange Mozarabische Jakobsweg beginnt in Granada und führt über Córdoba nach Merida, wo er auf die Via de la Plata trifft. Auf rund 400 Kilometern führt der Weg auf überwiegend einsamen Feldwegen und ruhigen Straßen von den Olivenplantagen in der Bergkette der Sierra Morena in Andalusien bis zur weiten Ebene der Extremadura.Die Route bietet nicht nur reichlich Sonne sondern auch eine unvergessliche Wanderung durch eine Landschaft, in der die vielfältige Geschichte allgegenwärtig ist. Neben den herausragenden maurischen Bauten der Alhambra in Granada und der Mezquita in Córdoba säumen zahlreiche Festungen und Wachtürme aus längst vergangenen Zeiten den Weg und so mancher Fluss wird auf einer von den Römern errichteten Brücke überquert.Im Gegensatz zur Jakobsweg-Hauptroute in Nordspanien, geht es auf dem Mozarabischen Jakobsweg sehr ruhig zu und auf der einsamen Route treffen Sie nur im Ausnahmefall auf andere Pilger. Die knappen Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten machen eine exakte Planung Ihrer Pilgertour unabdingbar und dieser Führer dteht Ihnen hilfreich zur Seite. Er liefert neben der detaillierten Wegbeschreibung alle nötigen praktische Hinweise zu Unterkunft und Verpflegung und wird durch umfassende Hindergrundinformationen zu den kulturellen Sehenswürdigkeiten am Wegesrand abgerundet.

Worauf wir uns verlassen wollen Kretschmann WinfriedPevná vazba

"In Zeiten stürmischen Wandels braucht es Prinzipien und Haltungen, die den Tag überdauern."Kann es in unserer Zeit noch Halt und zuverlässige Orientierung geben? Welchen Beitrag kann eine zeitgemäße Idee des Konservativen leisten? Winfried Kretschmann, Gründungsmitglied der Grünen, findet ganz eigene und überzeugende Antworten auf diese Frage. Geprägt durch seine persönliche und politische Biographie und seine Lektüre von Philosophen wie Aristoteles, Immanuel Kant oder Hannah Arendt plädiert er leidenschaftlich für einen wertgebundenen Konservatismus, der sich an die Sache hält, an Prinzipien von Maß und Mitte, an Grundsätze und Haltungen, die der zivilisierten Menschheit schon immer wichtig waren.Unsere Welt verändert sich rasend schnell. Digitalisierung und Globalisierung pflügen Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft um. Der Klimawandel bedroht unsere Zivilisation. Der internationale islamistische Terror rückt näher an uns heran. Und noch nie waren so viele Menschen auf der Flucht. Diese Umbrüche verunsichern uns. Der gesellschaftliche Zusammenhang beginnt zu bröckeln. Kann Politik noch Orientierung bieten? Kann sie die Probleme lösen? Oder ist auch sie längst überfordert?Populisten feiern mit einfachen Antworten Erfolge. Sie flüchten aus der Gegenwart in ein "früher war alles besser" zurück. Doch das ist nicht konservativ, sondern reaktionär. Winfried Kretschmann stellt dem eine neue Idee des Konservativen entgegen, die sich der Gegenwart stellt und die Zukunft im Blick hat. Er entwirft eine "Politik des Und", die Bewahren und Gestalten miteinander verbindet und die großen Aufgaben der Zeit mit Zuversicht und einem klaren Wertekompass angeht.
