Growing Up Patton
The grandson of the legendary World War II general George S. Patton Jr., documentary filmmaker Benjamin Patton, explores his family legacy and shares the inspirational wit and wisdom that his grandfather bestowed upon his only son and namesake. In revealing personal correspondence written between 1939 and 1945, General Patton Jr. espoused his ideals to Benjamin’s father, then a cadet at West Point. Dispensing advice on duty, heroism and honor with the same candor he used ordering the Third Army across Europe, Patton shows himself to be as dynamic a parent as a military commander. Following in those famous footsteps, Benjamin’s father became a respected and decorated hero of both the Kore...

Democracy in Our America
One of America's most distinguished political theorists examines what happens when national politics enters a small New England town After the election of 2016 and, even more urgently, after the election of 2020, many citizens looked at the economic and cultural divisions that were causing deep disruptions in American politics and asked, "What is happening to us?" Paul W. Kahn explores these fundamental changes as they show themselves in a small New England town--his home of twenty-five years, Killingworth, Connecticut. His inquiry grounds a democratic theory that puts volunteering, not voting, at its center. Absent active participation, citizens lose the capacity for judgment that comes fro...
Edward Hopper
Jene unvergleichliche Melancholie im bildnerischen Werk von Edward Hopper lenkt bisweilen den Blick auch auf biografische Details. An welchen konkreten Orten hat dieser Meister der Einsamkeit gelebt und gewirkt? Was waren die für ihn wichtigen Einflüsse, während er an den großen Bildern Amerikas gearbeitet hat? Ulf Küster geht in diesem wunderbar klug und leicht geschriebenen A bis Z genau den Themen nach, die zugleich viel über den Maler und seine Interessen erzählen und dabei doch nie den Künstler und die gebotene Distanz zu seinen unvergleichlichen Bildern aus dem Blick verlieren. So flaniert Küster entlang dem ABC von der »Amerikanischen Landschaft« über »Buick«, »Goethe« oder »Schatten und Sonnenlicht« bis zum Stichwort »Zeit« durch Leben und Werk von Edward Hopper und öffnet dabei viele neue Türen oder Einsichten, die wiederum den Blick auf Hoppers Bilder bereichern und neue Lesarten ermöglichen. Ein ebenso unterhaltsames wie informatives Buch.
