Unsere Welt lebenswert zu erhalten, ist die wohl größte Herausforderung unserer Zeit. Wir steuern auf den globalen Kollaps zu. Was löst das in uns aus? 45 Autor*innen zeigen: Zwischen Apokalypse und Utopie ist viel Platz für Poesie. Jede Krise setzt kreative Potenziale frei. Das beweist diese Anthologie mit engagierten Beiträgen aus der Poetry-Slam- und Lyrikszene Deutschlands, Österreichs und der Schweiz, die sich allesamt mit der Klimakatastrophe, dem Artensterben und einer ungewissen Zukunft auseinandersetzen. Dystopische, postapokalyptische Szenarien stehen neben optimistischen Visionen einer besseren Zukunft, präzise Analysen wechseln mit schmerzender Satire und poetischen Umdeutungen des Status Quo. So vielfältig die Texte in diesem Band sind, so energisch propagieren sie ein gemeinsames Ziel: die Rettung unserer Lebensgrundlagen.

The study of houses, dwellings, homes and identities is a rapidly-expanding field within medieval archaeology. Many of the 20 papers in this volume demonstrate the potential for studying buildings within their wider cultural ideological frameworks, and the methodological challenges this presents.
In this version of the children's nursery rhyme, Lamb and Mary fall in love. Then Mary has second thoughts. Lamb is a lamb, after all, not a man. Lamb, heartbroken, turns to drinking. Lamb goes to a madhouse. Mary buries her feelings. And then somehow, Lamb pulls it together. He leaves the madhouse mature--saddened but more dignified, ready for another chance to win Mary's heart, if she will have him. Award-winning poet Matthea Harvey offers a story told in short packets of verse, and artist Amy Jean Porter brings each stanza vividly to life with her eye-popping illustrations.
Ranging on the fringes of imagination and erudition, forming a mosaic of stories, maxims and sketches, at once fragmentary and cumulative, Jottings from a Far Away Place combines the timeless, mannered assurance of the Eastern discursive essay with the experimentation of the Western avant-garde. As the focus shifts between fantastic tales and studies of viciousness, the reader is treated to, among myriad other things, the adventures of a Taoist guitar player, a bloody episode with Countess de Bathory, a recipe for cinnabar sauce, and the story of a man who has been reincarnated as a spoon. A book that is like a collection of bulletins from the world of dreams."
In the old days, suitors would bring a dowry of horses when asking for a hand in marriage. Today, Clinton comes to Houston with kittens, a recliner, sausages and a snow blower. A Short History of Indians in Canada, Thomas King’s bestselling collection of twenty tales, is a comic tour de force, showcasing the author at his hilarious and provocative best. With his razor-sharp observations and mystical characters, including the ever-present and ever-changing Coyote, King pokes a sharp stick into the gears of the Native myth-making machine, exposing the underbelly of both historical and contemporary Native-White relationships. Through the laughter, these stories shimmer brightly with the universal truths that unite us. HarperCollins brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.

na broad sense Design Science is the grammar of a language of images Irather than of words. Modern communication techniques enable us to transmit and reconstitute images without needing to know a specific verbal sequence language such as the Morse code or Hungarian. International traffic signs use international image symbols which are not specific to any particular verbal language. An image language differs from a verbal one in that the latter uses a linear string of symbols, whereas the former is multi dimensional. Architectural renderings commonly show projections onto three mutual ly perpendicular planes, or consist of cross sections at different altitudes capa ble of being stacked and re...
