The Norwegian jewelry artist Reinhold Ziegler presents a successful reinterpretation of the concept of jewelry with his objects, providing an impressive continuation of the discussion started in Aftermath of Art Jewelry about the status and potential of contemporary art jewelry. Jewelry is not so much an expression of the individual as a representation of universal ideas and notions.
- New monograph by acclaimed artist Reinhold Ziegler - Latest series of works in large format - An exploration of human desire The intention of Reinhold Ziegler's jewelry objects is to move the attention of the wearer or onlooker from themselves onto something greater - a radical strategy within a field that is strongly occupied with emphasizing the individuality of the wearer. Ziegler's art is influenced by the French philosopher Georges Bataille, who in his work Eroticism identifies a strong dilemma in humanity in which, on one hand, we want to fight for our individuality yet, at the same time, have a strong desire to be united with what he calls 'everything that is'. In this book, Ziegler deals with this topic from many angles - gravitation, vibration, meteorites, fossils, and general aspects of humanity such as tools (from the Stone Age), talismans, spirituality, and consciousness.
Grid beam is a modular, reusable building system that is fast, easy, affordable and virtually goof-proof. Ordinary people, with few skills and even fewer tools (all you need is a wrench!) can tackle projects ranging from furniture and shop benches to more ambitious projects like wind turbines, truck racks, small buildings--even electric vehicles. Grid beam's modular pieces and bolt-together construction make the system fast and straightforward to work with. It has all the advantages of an industrial building system: standard, modular sizes; uniform materials; and interchangeable parts. Projects knock flat and are easy to transport. Since the pieces can be used over and over again, grid beam ...
This is the story of how Nazi war criminals escaped from justice at the end of the Second World War by fleeing through the Tyrolean Alps to Italian seaports, and the role played by the Red Cross, the Vatican, and the Secret Services of the major powers in smuggling them away from prosecution in Europe to a new life in South America. The Nazi sympathies held by groups and individuals within these organizations evolved into a successful assistance network for fugitive criminals, providing them not only with secret escape routes but hiding places for their loot. Gerald Steinacher skillfully traces the complex escape stories of some of the most prominent Nazi war criminals, including Adolf Eichm...
Der hochbegabte Johannes, genannt Joker, und seine Clique planen ein kühnes Vorhaben. Im Grid, einem Verbund von Hochleistungsrechnern der Universität, wollen sie heimlich eine künstliche Intelligenz programmieren. Der Anfang klappt wunderbar, doch dann entwickelt sich GRID, das von Joker geschaffene Wesen, in eine Richtung, die niemand vorhersehen konnte. Gut, dass Joker seine Möchtegern-Freundin Ljusja zur Seite hat. Sie schafft es ihm zu beweisen, dass man hochintelligent, aber zugleich dumm wie ein Stück Seife sein kann. Buchbesprechung in LITERRA: "Aber auch die emotionalen Angelegenheiten werden äußerst realistisch und nachvollziehbar behandelt, frei von jeglicher Seifenoper-Romantik. Zieglers Stil ist ausgefeilt und materialistisch, die Handlung rasant und packend. An diesem Buch werden nicht nur Jugendliche ihren Spaß haben, auch Erwachsene werden kurzweilig und durchaus anspruchsvoll unterhalten."
This will be the first time a volume will be compiled focusing on South American monkeys as models to address and test critical issues in the study of nonhuman primates. In addition, the volume will serve an important compliment to the book on Mesoamerican primates recently published in the series under the DIPR book series. The book will be of interest to a broad range of scientists in various disciplines, ranging from primatology, to animal behavior, animal ecology, conservation biology, veterinary science, animal husbandry, anthropology, and natural resource management. Moreover, although the volume will highlight South American primates, chapters will not simply review particular taxa or...
Jürgen ist der, der an der Autobahn steht und den Daumen hoch hält. Er ist der, der zwischendurch auf dem Bau jobbt und im Uhrengeschäft. Er ist der, der ganz plötzlich unbedingt nach Sizilien will. Das Meer will er sehen und wissen, warum immer hinten einer runterfallen muss, wenn vorne einer hochgekrabbelt ist. Jürgen ist der, der eben einfach nicht weiß, was er will. Dieses authentische Erstlingswerk des bekannten Jugendbuchautors Reinhold Ziegler ist erstmals im Jahr 1982 erschienen. Wie kaum ein anderes Werk spiegelt es das Zeitgefühl der 70er und 80er Jahre wieder. Alles schien möglich, aber nichts war wirklich greifbar. Eine ganze Generation drohte zum Opfer ihrer eigenen Träume zu werden. Die Kritik verglich es oft mit Eichendorffs 'Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts' und machte sich große Sorgen um den Zustand der Jugend allgemein.
