Nach Hause kommen
Und wieder naht sie, die schönste Zeit des Jahres – Weihnachten! Doch ist es wirklich noch die schönste Zeit? Die Zeit, die mit so viel geheimnisvollem Zauber als Fest der Liebe gilt? Oder bedeutet sie nur noch Kommerz, Hetze und Einsamkeit? 18 Autoren versuchen diese besondere Zeit in ihren Geschichten und Gedichten einzufangen und stoßen doch an die Grenzen, die uns die heutige Zeit vielfach mit auf den Weg gibt. Aus dem Fest der Liebe wird oftmals eine Feier, die aus Pflichtbesuchen, überhöhten Erwartungen und viel Kommerz besteht. Den Zauber finden wir nur noch in unserer Fantasie. Vielleicht sollten wir uns alle in diesem Jahr einen dreitägigen Stromausfall wünschen, damit die Strahlkraft dieses Festes wieder zu uns zurückkehrt. Nehmen wir dieses Buch so, wie es entstanden ist. Als ein Nachdenken darüber, wie wir den Zauber und die Liebe wieder in unser Leben lassen können – lassen Sie uns wieder nach Hause kommen ...

The Philosophy of Lines
This book offers a philosophical exploration of lines in art and culture, and traces their history from Antiquity onwards. Lines can be physical phenomena, cognitive responses to observed processes, or both at the same time. Based on this assumption, the book describes the “philosophy of lines” in art, architecture, and science. The book compares Western and Eastern traditions. It examines lines in the works of Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and Henri Michaux, as well as in Chinese and Japanese art and calligraphy. Lines are not merely a matter of aesthetics but also reflect the psychological states of entire cultures. In the nineteenth century, non-Euclidean geometry sparked the phenomenon of the “self-negating line,” which influenced modern art; it also prepared the ground for virtual reality. Straight lines, distorted lines, blurred lines, hot and cold lines, dynamic lines, lines of force, virtual lines, and on and on, lines narrate the development of human civilization.
Machine-age Comedy
In this latest addition to Oxford's Modernist Literature & Culture series, renowned modernist scholar Michael North poses fundamental questions about the relationship between modernity and comic form in film, animation, the visual arts, and literature. Machine-Age Comedy vividly constructs a cultural history that spans the entire twentieth century, showing how changes wrought by industrialization have forever altered the comic mode. With keen analyses, North examines the work of a wide range of artists--including Charlie Chaplin, Walt Disney, Marcel Duchamp, Samuel Beckett, and David Foster Wallace--to show the creative and unconventional ways the routinization of industrial society has been...

Prehypertension and Cardiometabolic Syndrome
This book sheds new light on the management of patients with borderline cardiovascular risk factors in order to prevent their progression to end organ damage. The book stimulates discussion of this poorly understood condition and lays the groundwork for developing recommendations and guidelines. While the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to full-blown diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and obesity is well defined, there is still a lack of clear understanding and guidelines as far as patients with borderline conditions – especially when multiple – are concerned. Moreover, end-organ damage depends on several factors, including genetic factors, making it difficult to predict its extent...
