Museum of Unheard (Of) Things
MUSEUM OF UNHEARD (OF) THINGS is the catalogue raisonne of the world-famous "literary cabinet of curiosities" in Berlin, which holds the record of being the most visited museum in the German capital (if one offsets the number of visitors to the square meters of the exhibition space). The museum collects unique objects to which curator Roland Albrecht has patiently lent his ear in order to hear the unheard (of) story each of them has to tell. This book is the first publication to assemble all the 78 stories in the current collection, all categorized according to weight, translated into English for the first time. Included are unheard (of) tales about a clock of a Swiss inventor who promoted "...
Roland Albrecht: Der Chef der Familie
Mit fünf Jahren zapft er das erste Bier am Tresen, bekocht als Teenager in der NVA die Generäle des Warschauer Paktes. Obwohl alles andere als linientreu, arbeitet er sich im Berliner Palast der Republik vom einfach Kellner zum Gastronomischen Leiter an Honeckers Stammtisch hoch. Eine Karriere, die mit dem Fall der Mauer ganz plötzlich ihr Ende findet. Doch Roland Albrecht macht weiter, leitet ein Hotel für die Treuhand, gründet mit Frau und Sohn mehrere Restaurants, darunter das legendäre Zander, für Presse und Kritiker die beste Küche östlich der Spree. „Der Chef der Familie“ ist die Geschichte eines Mannes, der immer einen Weg findet, sich selbst zu verwirklichen, ob im DDR-Sozialismus oder im Raubtierkapitalismus des Westens. Und der sich dabei nur von einer Sache leiten lässt: seiner unstillbaren Lebensgier.
The Renaissance of General Relativity in Context
This contributed volume explores the renaissance of general relativity after World War II, when it transformed from a marginal theory into a cornerstone of modern physics. Chapters explore key historical processes related to the theory of general relativity, in addition to presenting a thorough treatment of the relevant science behind these episodes. A broad historiographical framework is introduced first, thus providing the broad context in which the given computational approaches and case studies occurred. Written by an international and interdisciplinary group of expert authors, these chapters will bring readers to a more complete understanding of Einstein’s theory. Specific topics incl...
Reminded by the Instruments
David Tudor is remembered today as an extraordinary pianist of post-war avant-garde music who worked closely with composers like John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen and as a founding figure of live-electronic music. His bold reinterpretation of Cage's Variations II and his idiosyncratic performances using homemade modular instruments inspired a whole generation of musicians. But his reticence, his unorthodox approaches, and the diversity of his creative output-which began with the organ and ended with visual art-have kept Tudor a puzzle. Reminded by the Instruments sets out to solve the puzzle of David Tudor by applying Tudor's own methods for approaching the materials of others to the vast ...
Semantics and Psychology of Spirituality
This book examines what people mean when they say they are “spiritual”. It looks at the semantics of “spirituality”, the visibility of reasons for “spiritual” preference in biographies, in psychological dispositions, in cultural differences between Germany and the US, and in gender differences. It also examines the kind of biographical consequences that are associated with “spirituality”. The book reports the results of an online-questionnaire filled out by 773 respondents in Germany and 1113 in the US, personal interviews with a selected group of more than 100 persons, and an experiment. Based on the data collected, it reports results that are relevant for a number of scient...
A World Ablaze
October 2017 marks five hundred years since Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg and launched the Protestant Reformation. At least, that's what the legend says. But with a figure like Martin Luther, who looms so large in the historical imagination, it's hard to separate the legend from the life, or even sometimes to separate assorted legends from each other. Over the centuries, Luther the man has given way to Luther the icon, a polished bronze figure on a pedestal. In A World Ablaze, Craig Harline introduces us to the flesh-and-blood Martin Luther. Harline tells the riveting story of the first crucial years of the accidental crusade that would make Luther a leg...
