»All the Things You Are« - Die materielle Kultur populärer Musik
Wie wird die Musikkultur durch die konkrete materielle Beschaffenheit von alltäglichen Gegenständen und Orten geprägt? Die Beiträger*innen unterziehen Flyer für Club Nights, Totenkopf-Shirts, Fotos auf LP-Hüllen, Bierbänke in Festzelten oder Sammlungen historischer Abspielgeräte einer genauen Analyse, um kulturelle Implikationen, überraschende Sinnpotenziale und Effekte offenzulegen. Sie entwickeln dabei eine gesteigerte Sensibilität für die ästhetisch und praktisch wirksame Beschaffenheit von Bedeutungsträgern, die nur zu leicht unterschätzt werden - und machen kulturwissenschaftliche Materialitäts-Diskurse so für das Verständnis populärer Musik fruchtbar.
The Man Who Saw Tomorrow
The first full-length biography of a brilliant, self-taught inventor whose innovations in information and energy technology continue to shape our world. The Economist called Stanford R. Ovshinsky (1922–2012) “the Edison of our age,” but this apt comparison doesn't capture the full range of his achievements. As an independent, self-educated inventor, Ovshinsky not only created many important devices but also made fundamental discoveries in materials science. This book offers the first full-length biography of a visionary whose energy and information innovations continue to fuel our post-industrial economy. In The Man Who Saw Tomorrow, Lillian Hoddeson and Peter Garrett tell the story of...
Marine Issues
This volume collects a number of essays and articles from about twenty experts in various fields connected to marine environmental issues. These essays were first presented at the XXVIII Pacem in Maribus Conference held in December 2000, at the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea in Hamburg, Germany. The purpose of the Conference was to enhance awareness of the European public, governments, the private sector and academia about the importance of responsible ocean and coastal management based on ocean science. Reflecting the innovative interdisciplinary approach of the conference, these volume groups contributors from leading biologists, political scientists, geographers, and jurists according to specific regional relevance and not along strict disciplinary lines. This approach allows the experts to treat marine issues concerning regions such as the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, or the Black Sea in a comprehensive manner. This collection could become an essential instrument for scholars and scientists working within the field of marine environmental issues.
Poughkeepsie
Since the colonial period, the Poughkeepsie area has been a prime location on the Hudson, midway between Albany and New York City. Referred to as the "Queen City of the Hudson," accessibility, scenic beauty, and a dynamic economic and cultural environment have made Poughkeepsie an excellent community in which to live, work, and play. Since the 19th century, Poughkeepsie has been a favored site by society elites, families like the Astors, Rogers, and Vanderbilts building palatial weekend homes there due to its natural beauty and proximity to New York City. Numerous Americans have left their mark here, including the Livingstons, Samuel Morse, Matthew Vassar (whom local Vassar College is named for), Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, and Thomas Watson Sr. Poughkeepsie has also been enhanced by the contributions of its African American community and by successive waves of immigrants seeking a better life. From hosting New York's United States Constitutional Ratification Convention in 1788 to becoming the location of IBM during World War II, Poughkeepsie has continued to be the site of world-changing events.
