A Part of My Life
"On the one hand Müller's pictures show that every moment in everyday life has its cliché, but at the same time they seem to want to find nothing but a moment of authenticity." Flash Art Magzine
The Recruiter
An action-packed debut from Gregg Podolski, The Recruiter is a thrilling and unique adventure through the European underworld. When bad guys need good help, they call Rick Carter. He’s a criminal recruiter, searching for contract killers, hackers, gun smugglers, and any other assorted villains-for-hire a European crime boss might need. But, when the family he left behind in New Jersey is caught up in a client’s plot to monopolize the black market, Rick has to save them from two of his own top candidates: deadly assassins known only as Ghost and The Persian. Fixing his own mess will require a set of skills he doesn’t have—not a problem, as finding qualified help is where he excels. But stepping into action, becoming the hero his family needs, that’s new territory. For a man who’s spent the last ten years being the best at helping the worst, this may be his last chance to do something right.
Dictatorship, State Planning, and Social Theory in the German Democratic Republic
The introduction of state planning and party dictatorship dramatically altered the environment for social theory in the German Democratic Republic. But social thought did not disappear. By the mid-1950s, East German social theorists discovered the basic contradictions of state socialism that would eventually lead to its collapse: the inability of the plan to function without markets and its inability to permit markets; the inability of the party-state to guarantee the rule of law and yet also the need for a regular system of rules in a modern industrial society; and the contradictory philosophical claims of a Marxist-Leninist philosophy that rejected idealism, and Marxist-Leninist dogma with its idealistic claim to know the laws of social modernization. Making use of archival sources, Caldwell examines the articulation of these analyses, their subsequent suppression by party authorities in the late 1950s, and their return under the guise of cybernetics in the 1960s.

The Flock
Somewhere on a rooftop in Brooklyn, an old man breeds pigeons, feeding and flying them. It is an unspectacular, seemingly banal scene, and it is one that photographer Marianne Müller observed and photographed for months. The result of her observations and reflections is The Flock, a rich and dense record of life above the rooftops of Brooklyn, oscillating between documentary observation and metaphorical condensation. Precise observations alternate with almost abstract compositions in which the birds' flight is transformed into mere brushstrokes on the clouds above New York. This book is a reflection upon city and nature, on one tiny place and the aesthetic universe it holds. It offers a view of modern nature beyond sentimentalities of any kind. The photographs of flying, fighting, hatching, eating and running pigeons touch upon the subjects of mass and power, freedom and captivity, heaven and hell, associatively adding up to a panoramic metaphor of the relation between the individual and the collective body. The photographic series is complemented by an interview with the Bird Man, providing yet another, radically different perspective on the birds and their lives.
Mutual Intercultural Relations
By examining intercultural relations in seventeen societies, this book answers the fundamental question: 'how shall we all live together?'
Introduction to the series. Archiearinae, Oenochrominae, Geometrinae
The Lepidoptera are without doubt the best known insect order in today’s Europe. Nevertheless there is still a great lack of knowledge in some groups, such as the Geometridae. The northern and central European fauna is relatively well known, but the distribution and bionomics of a number of species are poorly known. This problem is much more marked in southern Europe where no books on Geometridae have been published for nearly a century. Data on the bionomics are frequently unavailable which makes it difficult to assess environmental threats to the geometrid species. Information on distribution is still grossly incomplete and many records have been based on misidentifications. These proble...

Welt-Bilder
In an era when artists are as flooded with media as any other viewers, and perhaps moreso, World Images asks how they sustain their own individualized worldview, how they see the world and reproduce it in photographs uniquely their own. These works originate from the minds, eyes, and cameras of Axel Htte, Boris Mikhailov, Shirana Shahbazi, James Nachtwey and Wolfgang Tillmans among others. They vary not just in their geography, subjects, and themes, but in their essence, in their personality, in their view of the world.
