The action adventure 300: Rise of an Empire is the highly anticipated follow-up to the 2007 international blockbuster 300. Based on Frank Miller's latest graphic novel Xerxes, 300: Rise of an Empire is produced by Gianni Nunnari, Mark Canton, Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder and Bernie Goldmann, and directed by Noam Murro from a screenplay by Zack Snyder & Kurt Johnstad. Told in the breathtaking visual style of 300 this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield--on the sea--as Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. 300: Rise of an Empire pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Artemisia (Eva Green), vengeful commander of the Persian navy. 300: Rise of an Empire also stars Lena Headey, Hans Matheson, and David Wenham, and will be released in theaters on August 2, 2013.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER HUGO AWARD FINALIST ONE OF BOOKPAGE’S TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR AN ELLE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR The eccentric detective Ana Dolabra matches wits with a seemingly omniscient adversary in this brilliant fantasy-mystery from the author of The Tainted Cup. “Wonderfully clever and compulsively readable . . . another winning blend of fantasy and classic detection.”—Publishers Weekly In the canton of Yarrowdale, at the very edge of the Empire’s reach, a Treasury officer has disappeared into thin air—vanishing from a room within a heavily guarded tower, its door and windows locked from the inside. To solve the case, the Empire calls on its most brilliant and mercurial detective, the great Ana Dolabra. At her side, as always, is her bemused assistant Dinios Kol. Ana soon discovers that they are investigating not a disappearance but a murder—and one of surpassing cunning, carried out by an opponent who can pass through warded doors like a ghost. Worse still, the killer may be targeting the high-security compound known as the Shroud, where the Empire harvests fallen titans for the volatile magic found in their blood. Should it fall, the Empire itself will grind to a halt, robbed of the magic that allows its wheels of power to turn. Din has seen his superior solve impossible cases before. But as the death toll grows and their quarry predicts each of Ana’s moves with uncanny foresight, he fears that she has at last met an enemy she can’t defeat.

One of the most influential public intellectuals in the world and the architect of the two biggest ideas to reshape the American conversation about fairness offers the intimate story of how her life gave birth to these ideas. It is not very often that someone comes along and permanently reshapes the way Americans think about two of the most important issues of the day. In this case: race and gender. But that is what Kimberlé Crenshaw did when she articulated two concepts that would forever change national and global debates about equality: intersectionality and critical race theory. Backtalker is the powerful and intimate story of how a little girl from Canton, Ohio, came up with a new way to look at the world. Crenshaw’s memoir traces the way her lived experience made her see things others didn’t as the daughter of a strong-minded teacher and a pathbreaking public servant, and as the sister of a protective, yet bullying older brother. She starts to talk back, and that backtalking has continued throughout her life. It happens when she is denied a role in the kindergarten school play. When she is escorted to the back door of a private club. When Anita Hill is exiled for testifying against Clarence Thomas. When OJ Simpson goes on trial. When Obama launches My Brother’s Keeper, a movement focused on boys of color only. When the movement against police violence overlooks Black women. Crenshaw is there for all of it. In the vein of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Bryan Stevenson, Crenshaw evokes each time and place like a gifted novelist with extreme honesty and specificity, making her book a series of awe-inspiring, deep revelations. As a result of her work, Crenshaw has become a force to be reckoned with across America—at schools, in the workplace, at dinner tables, and, of course, in our public square.

Eccentric yet brilliant detective Ana Dolabra must prove a man's innocence to stop a civil war in the third book of the series that began with the award-winning The Tainted Cup. In the canton of Sapirdad, two of the Empire's most powerful families are moments away from going to war with each other, their hundreds of retainers gathered with swords drawn. If blood is spilled, the whole of the empire may be plunged into starvation and chaos. To deescalate matters, someone must do the impossible: prove that one family's eldest son is innocent of a gruesome and unforgivable murder, despite the incontrovertible evidence against him. It is with this undertaking that the great detective Ana Dolabra is tasked, her assistant Din at her side - and the two find themselves racing with great speed and little dignity to the scene. As ever, the impossible proves little obstacle for the deadly combination of Ana's intellect and Din's keen eye, and mere hours after riding into the dusty town, Ana glimpses the greater pattern behind the crime. A deeper, subtler web of death is being woven in plain sight, by a mastermind with an ancient magical technology at his disposal. But even Ana's uncanny insight is of little use when each new suspect she uncovers ends up dead--with each new killing calculated to bring tensions between the two rival clans past the boiling point. And as Din pursues their adversary through the canton's wild ranges, sprawling ranches, and reeking slaughterhouses, he finds his loyalties divided in unexpected ways.

Die sozialen Praktiken des Badens In der Stadt Baden badet man schon so lange, wie es diese Stadt gibt. Das Baden in den heißen Quellen ist geradezu der Grund für die Existenz dieses Aargauer Ortes und das Element Wasser ist der Ausgangspunkt für alle wichtigen weiteren Veränderungen, die so prototypisch für gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen der Schweiz stehen. Mit dem entschleunigten Festival Vom Baden lernen nehmen Isabelle Meiffert und Mirko Winkel diese exemplarische Transformationsgeschichte kritisch unter die Lupe. Sie folgen dabei dem Wasser samt seinen kulturellen und sozialen Traditionen und setzen sie ins Verhältnis zum anhaltenden Wertewandel. Das Buch erscheint anlässlich des Festivals und dokumentiert die wissenschaftlichen und ortsbezogenen künstlerischen Arbeiten – interaktive Audiowalks, begeh- und beschwimmbare Installationen sowie immersive Videos an unterschiedlichen Orten rund um die Bäder und die Limmat. Das Buch versammelt künstlerische Arbeiten u. a. von Alfredo Jaar, Bianca Kennedy, Fabian Knecht, dem Kollektiv Arpha, Susanne Lorenz, Sabian Baumann und Corinn Gerber sowie eine eigens für das Buch entstandene Fotoserie von Georg Aerni, der die historischen Spuren der Thermalquellen im Stadtraum von Baden und Ennetbaden festgehalten hat. Mit einer Einleitung von Isabelle Meiffert und Mirko Winkel und einem Essay von Jochen Gimmel. The Social Practices of Bathing People have been bathing in Baden, the Swiss namesake of England’s Bath, for as long as the town in the canton of Aargau has existed. The immersion in the hot springs, one might say, is its raison d’être; and the element of water has been the point of departure for all major subsequent changes, which prototypically reflect social developments in Switzerland more generally. With the slow-paced festival Vom Baden lernen , Isabelle Meiffert and Mirko Winkel subject this exemplary history of transformation to critical scrutiny. They trace the water’s branched channels and its cultural and social traditions and set them in interrelation to the ongoing evolution of values. The book is released in conjunction with the festival and documents the scholarly contributions and site-specific works of art—interactive audio walks, walk-through and swim-through installations, and immersive videos set up at various locations around the baths and along the River Limmat. The book gathers works of art by Alfredo Jaar, Bianca Kennedy, Fabian Knecht, the collective Arpha, Susanne Lorenz, Sabian Baumann, Corinn Gerber, and others as well as a dedicated series of photographs by Georg Aerni that records traces of the thermal springs’ history throughout the towns of Baden and Ennetbaden.

'Lucid, poetic and fascinating' ALICE ROBERTS 'Engaging, authoritative and full of fascinating stories of the past' RAY MEARS 'A gentle, personal and very readable book' JULIA BLACKBURN AUTHOR OF TIME SONG 'A triumph!' JAMES CANTON, AUTHOR OF THE OAK PAPERS 'I loved this book' FRANCIS PRYOR On paths, roads, seas, in the air, and in space - there has never been so much human movement. In contrast we think of the past as static, 'frozen in time'. But archaeologists have in fact always found evidence for humanity's irrepressible restlessness. Now, latest developments in science and archaeology are transforming this evidence and overturning how we understand the past movement of humankind. In this book, archaeologist Jim Leary traces the past 3.5 million years to reveal how people have always been moving, how travel has historically been enforced (or prohibited) by people with power, and how our forebears showed incredible bravery and ingenuity to journey across continents and oceans. With Leary to show the way, you'll follow the footsteps of early hunter-gatherers preserved in mud, and tread ancient trackways hollowed by feet over time. Passing drovers, wayfarers and pilgrims, you'll see who got to move, and how people moved. And you'll go on long-distance journeys and migrations to see how movement has shaped our world.

Lewis Carroll l'è on pseudònim: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson l'è el nòmm real de l'autor, che l'era on professor universitari de Matematica a la Christ Church a Òxfòrd. El Dodgson l'ha cominciaa la stòria el 4 de luj del 1862, quand l'aveva faa ona escursion in barca a remm in sul fiumm Tamigi a Òxfòrd, insema al Reverend Robinson Duckworth, con l'Alìs Liddell (de des ann de età) la tosa del Decan de la Christ Church, e cont i sò dò sorell, Lorina (de tredes ann de età), e Edith (de vòtt ann de età). Come l'è anca ciar da la poesia al inizzi del liber, i trè tosann gh'hann domandaa al Dodgson de cuntagh sù ona stòria e lù on poo contrari al princippi, l'ha cominciaa a mett giò quella che la sariss diventada la prima version del esempi. In tutt el raccont, ch'el sarà pubblicaa a la fin ind el 1865, gh'hinn di mezz allusion a qui cinch persònn. Questa edizion la porta a l'attenzion di lettor del dì d'incoeu la prima traduzion del liber I Avventur de Alìs ind el Paes di Meravili in Lombard Occidental, vun di pussee important dialett de la Penisola Italiàna, sviluppaa dal Latin e che l'è parlaa ind ona area che la corrispond pù o manch a la part occidentala de la Lombardia, a di part del Piemont, el Canton Tessin in Svizzera, e di arei a sud del Fiumm Pò. --- Lewis Carroll is a pen-name: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was the author's real name and he was lecturer in Mathematics in Christ Church, Oxford. Dodgson began the story on 4 July 1862, when he took a journey in a rowing boat on the river Thames in Oxford together with the Reverend Robinson Duckworth, with Alice Liddell (ten years of age) the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, and with her two sisters, Lorina (thirteen years of age), and Edith (eight years of age). As is clear from the poem at the beginning of the book, the three girls asked Dodgson for a story and reluctantly at first he began to tell the first version of the story to them. There are many half-hidden references made to the five of them throughout the text of the book itself, which was published finally in 1865. This translation brings to the modern reader the first-ever published translation in Western Lombard, one of the main Italic dialects which developed out of Latin and which is spoken in the area covering roughly the region of West Lombardy, parts of Piedmont, the whole of the Swiss Canton Tessin, and areas South of the Po river.
