Terri Thal was very much a part of the folk music world in 1960s Greenwich Village, New York. Few people know that she was 21-year-old Bob Dylans first manager prior to his contract with Albert Grossman and Columbia Records. She also managed musician Dave Van Ronk (who was her husband), and others to include the Roche sisters, Paul Geremia and The Holy Modal Rounders. She booked performances at coffee houses, clubs and basket houses. On 6 September 1961, she recorded a set from a young Bob at The Gaslight Cafe it is the first known live recording of his original songs - known to Dylan fans as the First Gaslight Tape! Terri took this audition tape to clubs to try to get him gigs and she still owns the original reel-to-reel tape! She had many friends in Greenwich Village including Suze Rotolo and a number of seminal 1960s folk musicians.When Dave Van Ronk first saw young Bob performing in a club in Greenwich Village he said I just heard this kid whos a fucking genius. Youve got to hear him. Within a few days I heard him play and agreed with Dave. Bob Dylan asked me, Would you get me gigs?Terri Thal has two passions: folk music and social justice. This is a personal story of the world of folk music in 1960s New York written by a Jewish woman from Brooklyn who, although not a musician, was an intrinsic part of this scene. Terri describes Greenwich Village as a community that was supportive, musically exciting and one in which people had fun.Terri tells us what it was like to hang out in the Village coffee houses, to host folk singers like Tom Paxton and Phil Ochs who hung out at her apartment, and to be a manager. We hear her view and involvement of the 1960s socialist organizations, and how she later merged her professional work in not- for-profit agencies.

Over the past fifty years, Nigel West has been involved in almost every espionage-related investigation, breakthrough or revelation that you can think of. His molehunts have led to the unmasking of spies within MI5, MI6 and the CIA and the identification of numerous others some of whom were crucial to the Allied victory in the Second World War and would have died without any public recognition if not for him.His first encounter with the intelligence community was a lecture given at his school by John le Carre, the guest of a Benedictine monk who had recently retired from MI6. Later, West worked as a researcher for SOE agent Ronnie Seth, who was sentenced to death by the Nazis after being captured during Operation blunderhead, and exposed two of the Cambridge spies recruited by Anthony Blunt. For the fortieth anniversary of the D-Day landings, West traced the double agent codenamed garbo and brought him to London so he could be decorated at Buckingham Palace.As action-packed as the lives of the spies he has written about, this is the story of the most enthralling and significant post-war intelligence revelations as told by Britains most authoritative writer on espionage and the secret services.

Eleonore Heerwart wurde als herausragende Vertreterin der fruhen Frobelbewegung von Freunden in Deutschland und Amerika gebeten, die Erinnerungen ihrer mehr als 50-jahrigen Wirksamkeit als Frobel-Padagogin aufzuschreiben.Sie schreibt daruber:Das Interesse meiner padagogischen Freunde knupft sich nicht an meine Person, sondern an Frobel, dessen Erziehungsweise ich mich seit 1853 unausgesetzt gewidmet habe und daher mein Leben wie ein Faden durchzieht. In derselben Zeit entwickelten sich die in seinem Sinne errichteten Anstalten, namentlich die Kindergarten und Bildungsanstalten fur Kindergartnerinnen, sodass ich das Wachstum von kleinen Anfangen bis zu der jetzigen Verbreitung mit erlebt habe.Die Selbstzeugnisse Eleonore Heerwarts belegen, wie sie die fur eine Frau um 1850 bestehenden Hurden uberwand und zu einer weltweit bekannten und hoch geachteten Expertin und Protagonistin der Kindergartenbewegung wurde.Ihr Einfluss darauf, dass die Kindergarten-Idee Friedrich Frobels heute weltweit verbreitet ist und somit faktisch zum kulturellen Erbe der Menschheit gehort, kann gar nicht hoch genug eingeschatzt werden.Kinder auf der ganzen Welt eint, dass sie in einen Kindergarten gehen. Wie bedeutsam fur eine Welt, in der sich wieder Zwietracht breit machen mochte.

A un anno dallimprovvisa scomparsa del Professor Giuseppe Dalla Torre, non pochi hanno ripercorso i suoi prestigiosi incarichi nellUniversita, nella comunita accademica italiana e internazionale, nella Curia romana e nello Stato della Citta del Vaticano, e ne hanno ricordato le qualita intellettuali e umane nonche la sterminata produzione scientifica. Ce tuttavia un profilo della sua versatile personalita che forse e rimasto in ombra: quello legato alla sua attivita giornalistica, invero assai protratta e fertilissima.Probabilmente a causa del pregiudizio per il quale scrivere sui giornali o interfacciarsi con i mass media, per lapproccio piu semplice e divulgativo con cui le materie vengono affrontate, rientri in una sorta di dimessa arte minore cui i docenti si dedicano a tempo perso: quasi un leggero diversivo rispetto alla piu scrupolosa e severa stesura di testi rigorosamente scientifici. Per converso Giuseppe Dalla Torre, sin dalla giovinezza, mai ha disdegnato di applicarsi allelaborazione di articoli giornalistici, in particolare per il quotidiano Avvenire: scendendo dalla cattedra universitaria e rivolgendosi con immediatezza al lettore della testata di ispirazione cattolica, per illustrare, con linearita logica e chiarezza concettuale, lautentica sostanza dei problemi trattati in tutti i loro risvolti, specie giuridici, piu controversi. Attraverso la lettura di questi articoli su argomenti quanto mai eterogenei - sintetici e quasi lapidari, come postulato dal genere letterario - emerge lavvincente itinerario ultratrentennale della vivace militanza, nella compagine ecclesiale e nella societa civile, di un giurista cattolico che non ha mai, anche nelle condizioni di piu aspro scontro su differenti fronti, abdicato al suo munus - diremmo canonisticamente - genuinamente laicale di animazione cristiana delle realta temporali, secondo il magistero piu vivido del Vaticano II. Il volume, riproponendo molti di tali interventi e corredandoli di brevi analisi di suoi allievi, diretti e indiretti, auspica di dar conto di questo aspetto sinora poco indagato, e invece cosi pregnante, della sua opera.A cura di Geraldina Boni

Willy Brandts altester Sohn Peter erinnert sich an seinen Vater als Politiker und Privatmann, der noch in den 1980er-Jahren eine der umstrittensten Personlichkeiten in Deutschland war. Und er schreibt uber das "liebevolle, aber nicht ganz einfache Verhaltnis zweier sperriger Menschen". Peter Brandt verbindet die familieninterne Sicht mit dem analytischen Blick des Historikers. So entstand zum 100. Geburtstag von Willy Brandt am 18. Dezember 2013 keine Biographie im herkommlichen Sinne sondern ein Essay, der Privates und Politisches gemeinsam deutet und bislang weniger bekannte Zuge dieser Jahrhundertgestalt mit kritischer Zuneigung herausarbeitet.

Wenn Walter Trefz erzahlte, war es, als klinge in seiner Stimme das Raunen und Rauschen des gesamten Schwarzwaldes mit. Als ein Wald- und Umweltschutzer der ersten Stunde, im Kampf gegen den Sauren Regen, im groen Streit um Gift, Kalk und Ozon wurde der Revierforster Trefz fur viele zum charismatischen Aufklarer. Fur andere blieb er zeitlebens der Oko-Spinner, ein renitenter Provokateur und Storenfried. Der Walder stand weit uber seine Heimat hinaus und schon sehr fruh fur ein radikales Umdenken: weniger Chemie, weniger Technik. Wildnis statt Wirtschaftswald. Und insbesondere: echte, tiefe Verbundenheit mit allem, was lebt, wachst und im fortwahrenden Kreislauf vergeht. Uber Jahre war Annette Rieger immer wieder Gast in seinem Haus auf dem Kniebis und hat seinen Erzahlungen gelauscht, auerdem Gesprache mit Wegbegleiterinnen und Wegbegleitern gefuhrt. Was sie erzahlt, ist die Geschichte ihres Walders, eine sehr personliche Lebensgeschichte des Forsters, Lebensphilosophen und Widerstandlers Walter Trefz, gleichzeitig ein Blick hinter die Kulissen von fruher Umweltbewegung, Forstwirtschaft und Tourismus im Schwarzwald.

La biografía definitiva de Voltaire (1694-1778), desde sus escandalosos amoríos y maniobras políticas hasta su inspirada filosofía.Si bien pensamos en Voltaire como el arquetipo de la Ilustración, pocos saben que en su epoca tambien fue la figura mas famosa y controvertida de Europa. A lo largo de su vida, sus obras y opiniones le granjearon un sinnumero de criticos, adversarios y censores por desafiar, sobre todo, a los dos poderes facticos de su tiempo: la Iglesia catolica y la monarquia.Sus exilios y estancias en otros paises lo pusieron en contacto con algunas de las personalidades e ideas mas progresistas de la epoca; fue Voltaire quien introdujo los escritos de Isaac Newton y John Locke a Francia. Su desaprobacion a la tortura, la guerra, la persecucion religiosa y la monarquia absoluta, asi como su defensa de la igualdad, el progreso y la libertad, tanto de culto como de expresion, allanaron el camino para las ideas que instigarian la Revolucion francesa en 1789 e inspiraron a grandes intelectuales estadounidenses, como Benjamin Franklin y Thomas Jefferson.Fue un escritor versatil y prolifico: es autor de obras de teatro, poemas, panfletos, tratados filosoficos, historicos y cientificos y una monumental correspondencia que abarca casi 20 000 cartas. Su obra esta considerada, ademas, como uno de los grandes monumentos de la literatura francesa; su influencia fue tal que, para muchos franceses, el siglo XVIII es el siglo de Voltaire.

O Diário de Marion, é o novelo sendo desnovelado, aos poucos um ponto é um ponto de vista que se estrutura a outros pontos de vistas. Peças de nossos paradigmas e de nossos fatos que somente uma constante observaço pode nos levar a outras estruturas especificas para aprimorar, e compor diferenças entre o nosso pensamento e nossas aptides. So nossas competencias, mas de pouca historia, apesar dos sucessos modais, nossas vidas se entremeiam de tal maneira, que so podemos pensar num grande novelo, que dai, somente usa-lo seria uma perturbadora catastrofe. Assim, pelo diario a aula e formada com cuidado, com tecnica e com competencia. Mesmo assim, a neutralidade de Marion a suportar a propria presso, somente a fisica desenvolveria o poder das atomizaçes e da propria gravidade, para aqueles que a escutam e interpretam entre o fato e provas, entre a teoria e as experimentaçes. E de gravidade, todos entendem muito bem, mas perceber e algo que eleva o ato, a potencia dos juizos, assim as bibliografias, as leis, que deveriam ser os atos constantes de uma observaço competente dos efeitos climaticos de nossas vidas e da vida de nosso planeta.

On a sunny May morning in 1990, a bank courier strode out of the Bank of England and, minutes later, was robbed at knifepoint of 301 bearer bonds valued at 292 million. It was the biggest theft in British history. The thing is... when Keith Cheeseman received a call from a disbarred lawyer connected to Londons underworld and attended a meeting on the night of the robbery, he counted 427 million in bonds - 135 million more than the Bank of England had reported. As Keith set out to launder the bonds, Scotland Yard and the FBI were always one step ahead in tracking them down. Over the next eighteen months, two gangland figures were shot dead and more than eighty people were arrested. Keith was the only man ever jailed for the crime. Keith Cheeseman is the last of the old-time gangsters, a con man who detests violence, wears Savile Row suits and gold watches, and loves classic cars and good dining. He bought non-league Dunstable football club and signed Manchester United star George Best to play for the team. He knew the legendary Kray twins and killer Frankie Fraser once threatened to snuff him out him over a game of chess. So what happened to the missing 135 million? In this breathtaking adventure, featuring colourful characters from showbusiness alongside royalty, the IRA and even Pablo Escobar, Clifford Thurlow reveals Keith Cheesemans incredible true story for the first time.

Few professions comprise such an eclectic mix of personalities as that of intelligence. The characteristics required to thrive as a spy ideological conviction, ego, the ability to manipulate, deceive and remain cold have created some of the most compelling and enduring figures in history.In The Intelligent Spys Handbook, Robin Renwick provides an overview of the biggest names in the world of espionage, with a wonderful eye for the details that bring each of them to life. We hear, for instance, of how Kim Philby, to have fun at the expense of his colleagues, kept a photograph in his office of Mount Ararat taken from the Soviet side.We see how the audacious, far-fetched ideas of the naval officer Ian Fleming, aside from creating the most famous of all spies, may have actually inspired the real-life Operation Mincemeat. And the darker side of some of our more heroic stories is exposed, from the chemical castration of Alan Turing to the personal sacrifices Oleg Gordievsky made to become Britains most successful Soviet mole.Whether youre a seasoned veteran or a first-time reader, this book is the perfect primer on the best-known individuals in the history of intelligence.
