The red stallion did not appear to be hurt. The twitching of his muscles must have been caused by the cactus spikes embedded in him. There were drops of blood all over one side. Lucy thought she dared to try to pull these thorns out. She had never in her life been afraid of any horse. Farlane, Holley, all the riders, and her father, too, had tried to make her realize the danger in a horse, sooner or later.

A dragon is a legendary creature, typically with serpentine or reptilian traits, that features in the myths of many cultures. There are two distinct cultural traditions of dragons: the European Dragon, derived from European folk traditions and ultimately related to Greek and Middle Eastern mythologies, and the Chinese Dragon, with counterparts in Japan, Korea and other East Asian countries.The two traditions may have evolved separately, but have influenced each other to a certain extent, particularly with the cross-cultural contact of recent centuries. The English word Dragon derives from Greek drakon, "dragon, serpent of huge size, water-snake"One of my ways to meditate is to draw.In this little book I offer you my meditations focused on Wild Dragons.

Ger-Mania!"In kaum einem anderen Land der Welt gibt es so viele Konvertiten wie in Deutschland. In den Gemeinden macht man daruber schon Witze: Konvertit auf Hebraisch ist Ger. Wundert es dann noch, dass Deutschland auf Hebraisch Ger-Mania heit? Man sollte meinen, eine Religionsgemeinschaft freut sich uber einen solchen Zuspruch. Nun, die Juden sind da anders. Will sagen, wir Juden. Ich bin selbst zum Judentum konvertiert und schreibe dieses Buch als Jude. Daher verzeihen Sie mir bitte, wenn ich Ihnen gleich rate: Lassen Sie das mit dem Konvertieren. Und wenn Sie das Buch gelesen haben, dann widersprechen Sie mir gerne. Ihr bestes Argument ist und bleibt ja: Sie, lieber Eliyah, haben es doch auch getan und sind glucklich damit!"Eliyah Havemann ist orthodoxer Jude geworden. Doch so einfach ist das nicht. Er musste sein Leben umkrempeln, Uberzeugungen relativieren, Herausforderungen bewaltigen.Jude zu werden ist wie eine Reise. Pointiert und witzig erzahlt Eliyah Havemann davon: von den Jahren des Giurs, des Konvertierungsprozesses, von Schabbat und wie es ist, judische Feiertage zu begehen, wenn alle um einen herum Ostern und Weihnachten feiern, von der Beschneidung und dem Untertauchen in der Mikve, dem rituellen Bad, von koscherer Kuche und von Dresscodes an der Westmauer in Jerusalem und von der Rolle von Mannern und Frauen ...

Padraig Regans poems delight in the sensual and the visual: this pamphlet is alive with the textures of paint, sweat, sugar and overripe fruit. Regan riffs on art history in a way which is playful and inquisitive Johann Zoffany drinks mojitos with David Hockney; Caravaggio outrages and compels; Queen Elizabeth I is effortfully glorious. Many poems focus on the representation of the human body, discovering alternative histories in responses to paintings where the gaze of the male artist is directed towards the male figure in queerly erotic ways.

In the fight against the Coronavirus, digital technology is playing an unprecedented role in the maintenance of daily life and economic and social activities, as well as the recovery of industries and business activities. The Coronovirus-pandemic could become a tipping point for digitalisation - a dawn of a new era - by accelerating the maturity of digital technology: What was once a nice to have could now become a crucial to have.This report analyses investment in and adoption of digital technologies by firms in the EU and the USA and provides evidence on better performance of digital firms compared to non-digital ones. The report draws from two unique sets of data, including the European Investment Bank Survey (EIBIS) 2019, and the EIBIS Start-up and Scale-up Survey 2019.

This book is a reconsideration of the practice of whitewashing church interiors during the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is the first detailed study of its kind which challenges the view that whitewash was always only a cheap coat of paint. Victoria George pulls together several histories: of the colour white from the biblical period to the present, and ideas about the colour white in philosophy, theology, art, and architecture from antiquity to the present. She links them to case studies of the ways in which reformers Huldrych Zwingli and John Calvin thought about colour in a careful analysis of the role of colour-thinking in their theological writings. The social meanings embodied in the word, whitewash as it entered the printed media in the 17th century is explored as part of a chapter on the history of whitewashing itself. The long-term symbolic and aesthetic implications of the practice of whitewashing are examined in the larger context of material culture; in terms of their value as a metaphor, for both the Reformed Protestant and the Catholic in opposition to them; and for the uses to which whitewash has been put over time. George proposes that the practice was not only visually transformative but held importance for religious aesthetics as an agent of change, and for an aesthetics of minimalism generally, especially evident in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Victoria George received an MFA from the Royal College of Art (London), an MA from The Architectural Association, and a Ph.D. from Cambridge. She has taught religion and the arts at the University of Richmond in Virginia.

Based on the premise that art as well as space are part and product of social, political, and economic relations, the e-book analyzes the dialectic relationship of artistic practices and urban space in Detroit. The city of Detroit, with its massive population loss, abundance of vacant lots and buildings, and continuing racialization and marketization of space, provides a unique, although not exceptional setting for this research. Through a set of ethnographic methods, Nora Kuttel identifies five artistic practices that each refers to a specific aspect of space and its production, such as materiality or publicness. She foregrounds diverse and manifold relations of artistic practices and urban space in Detroit and unveils the dynamics and conflicts as well as multiple meanings and histories of (artistic) spaces in Detroit that often run counter to dominant representations of space. Nora Kuttel also shows how those practices produce spaces that are shaped by heterogeneity and participation. The research contributes to geographys engagement with art by offering a critical perspective on the intersection of artistic practices and space with regard to issues of power and representation over and within urban space.

This book, written by an experienced clock and tool maker, dispels those fears and gives a step-by-step guide to an extremely satisfying aspect of horology. This book is written for both the amateur and professional involved in the making and restoring of clocks, and for anyone who intends to start building up a workshop and requires a guide to the equipment and how to use it.

This collection of four stories by Leo Tolstoy was published in 1885, a few years after his religious conversion to radical non-violent Christianity, and the stories reflect his concerns at that time. Includes "What Men Live By", "The Three Questions", "The Coffee House of Surat", and "How Much Land Does a Man Need?"

The world of finance exerts a huge influence over our lives, being responsible for economic turmoil and seemingly interminable peaks and crashes. Whereas money was once a simple means of exchange, today it is a commodity in itself and as capital exerts power over individuals, degrading work to tradable labour. Can we find a new way of understanding money today, so that we can begin to overcome its destructive aspects?In November 1984 a remarkable discussion took place at the Meeting House in Ulm, Germany. It featured the radical artist Joseph Beuys, two professors (of Financial Sciences and Political Economics) and a banker. Beuys would appear to be out of place among these heavyweight academics, professionals and authors. But rather than being intimidated by his fellow panellists, Beuys - also a social and political activist - demonstrates his groundbreaking thinking on the subject, and his ability to bring fresh perspectives. Here for the first time is a transcript of this debate, together with analysis by Ulrich Rosch, which will be of equal interest to artists, economists and spiritual seekers.

Martin Heidegger was a German philosopher and a seminal thinker in the Continental tradition and philosophical hermeneutics. According to the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, he is "widely acknowledged to be one of the most original and important philosophers of the 20th century". Heidegger is best known for his contributions to phenomenology and existentialism, though as the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy cautions, "his thinking should be identified as part of such philosophical movements only with extreme care and qualification".

This book of mine, "What is Art?" appears now for the first time in its true form. More than one edition has already been issued in Russia, but in each case it has been so mutilated by the "Censor," that I request all who are interested in my views on art only to judge of them by the work in its present shape. The causes which led to the publication of the bookwith my name attached to itin a mutilated form were the following: In accordance with a decision I arrived at long ago,not to submit my writings to the "Censorship" (which I consider to be an immoral and irrational institution), but to print them only in the shape in which they were written,I intended not to attempt to print this work in Russia. However, my good acquaintance, Professor Grote, editor of a Moscow psychological magazine, having heard of the contents of my work, asked me to print it in his magazine, and promised me that he would get the book through the "Censors" office unmutilated if I would but agree to a few very unimportant alterations, merely toning down certain expressions. I was weak enough to agree to this, and it has resulted in a book appearing under my name, from which not only have some essential thoughts been excluded, but into which the thoughts of other meneven thoughts utterly opposed to my own convictionshave been introduced.

Joseph Beuyss work continues to influence and inspire practitioners and thinkers all over the world, in areas from organizational learning, direct democracy and new money forms to new art pedagogies and ecological art practices. Here, in dialogue with Volker Harlan - a close colleague, whose own work also revolves around understandings of substance and sacrament that are central to Beuys - the deeper motivations and insights underlying social sculpture, Beuyss expanded conception of art, are illuminated. His profound reflections, complemented with insightful essays by Volker Harlan, give a sense of the interconnectedness between all life forms, and the foundations of a path towards an ecologically sustainable future. This volume features over 40 b/w illustrations.

From one of the countrys most eminent reviewers and academics, a delightfully sceptical and devastatingly intelligent assessment of the true value of art.

Der letzte Band der Wewerreihe befasst sich mit der langen Geschichte des auf der Anhohe vor Paderborn gelegenen Gutes Warthe. Mit seiner Bedeutung als Gasthof am Alten Hellweg, der alten Heeres- und Handelsstrae, und wie es ihm gelang, diese Lage aufrecht zu erhalten, selbst anlasslich des als Wewerscher Skandal bekanntgewordenen kulturzerstorenden Straenausbaus.Im weiteren Teil geht es um die Gefahrdung der naturlichen Umgebung, den Ausverkauf der Landschaft und der Natur durch die Windindustrialisierung, aber auch um historische und aktuelle Naturbeobachtungen, auch der geheimnisvollen Nachtfalter, und um das Naturschutzgebiet Ziegenberg bei Paderborn.Der dritte Teil fasst die bisherigen Forschungen zur katholischen Pfarrkirche St. Johannes-Baptist zusammen, von ihrem mittelalterlichen Beginn uber die Rolle der adeligen Patronatsherren, dem Ende als selbststandiger Pfarrei durch Aufgehen im neuen Pfarrverbund bis zur Suche nach neuen Impulsen fur das Gemeindeleben, wie schon einmal im 19. Jhdt. Damals hatte es in der politisch schwierigen Zeit von Bismarcks Kirchenkampf unerwartete weibliche Impulse im Zusammenhang mit der Schlosskapelle gegeben.
