Bowie, der Performer. Bowie, der Songschreiber. Bowie, der Künstler. Bowie, das Kunstwerk. Sensationelle Fotografien berühmter Fotografen zeichnen Bowies Lebensstationen nach. Ein ästhetisches und hochinteressantes Buch - ein Muss für jeden Musikliebhaber! Als David Byrne von den Talking Heads gebeten wurde, die Essenz von David Bowie zu beschreiben, verkündete er: „Seelenklempner; Priester, Sexobjekt und Untergangsprophet“. Andere Kollegen antworteten auf dieselbe Frage einfach nur: „Genie“. David Bowie hatte auf viele Musikerkollegen einen enormen Einfluss. Er verpasste dem Rock'n-Roll einen regelrechten Energieschub. Bowies urplötzliches Auftauchen im Amerika der frühen 70er Jahre mit Alben wie The Man Who Sold The World, Hunky Dory und Aladdin Sane sorgte für Verwirrung und Empörung und entfesselte eine Kulturrevolution. Seine außergewöhnliche Karriere hat aber nicht nur die Musik, sondern auch die Bereiche Film, Theater und Mode berührt. Bowie hatte lange und hart um Anerkennung kämpfen müssen, bis sich der Erfolg endlich einstellte. Er machte im Hinblick auf seine Karriere und Kunst unvorhersehbare Schritte, während sein Stil und Image sich kaleidoskopartig wandelten. Die exotische Mischung aus Bildern, Ideen und Musik stellte sicher, dass die Marke Bowie über fünf Jahrzehnte hinweg sowohl anziehend als auch kontrovers blieb und ihm zahlreiche Ehren und Lobeshymnen einbrachten. Hits wie The Jean Genie, Life On Mars, Rebel Rebel oder Heroes haben sich seit langem in das kollektive Fan-Gedächtnis gebrannt, Bowie verkaufte bis 2012 rund 140 Millionen Alben und brachte es in Sachen Prestige auf Platz 29 der 100 größten Briten. David Robert Jones alias David Bowie alias Ziggy Stardust alis Aladdin Sane alias The Thin White Duke – Bowie war ein Gesamtkunstwerk! Das vorliegende Werk zeichnet seine Transformationen und Lebenssituationen in den Bildern der weltbesten Fotografen und in Worten des Musikjournalisten Chris Welch nach.

The volume at hand introduces a slightly less than life-size female figure with naked torso and hip cloak made of sandstone that was found in the “Zollhafen” of Mainz in October 2020. Her left foot rests on a bovine head, and a snake coils towards her left hand from her left shoulder. The inscription on the plinth identifies the figure as a “Salus”; donated to the inhabitants of the Mainz canabae in 231 AD by Senecionius Moderatus and Respectius Constans. Together with a sculpture from Cologne, the Mainz Salus forms a statue scheme adapted to local needs, the origin of which we place in the Flavian period and hypothetically associate with a newly founded cult at that time. Furthermore, the statue’s origins can be easily traced. The stone was probably quarried in the Nahe valley and imported to Mainz, where a workshop known to have distributed across the the province produced statues, presumably including the Genius from Nida (Heddernheim). With such products, the workshop catered to particularly ambitious clients, who adorned cities across Upper Germania with statues of various deities of salvation presented in public spaces, especially in the Severan period. Through this religious practice they both increased their own social prestige and contributed decisively to the urban added value of their communities. Finally, a second statue fragment found together with the Mainz Salus is presented and interpreted as Neptune.

Together with an unlikely ally, the half demon Inuyasha, Kagome begins a quest to recover the shards of the Shikon Jewel and learn more about her link to the past.

Now they’re not only attacking our friends, but each other... Who will come out on top?! And how will the changes in allegiances affect our heroes?

AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER Friday Night Lights meets A Good Girl's Guide to Murder in this juicy, mind-twisting thriller about football, romance, and the cost of playing the game. In Texas, football is life. For Finn Geringer, it’s a ticket to a better future. Transferring to East Pages High, Finn hopes to secure a college scholarship and a chance to provide for his grandmother. In this town where football reigns supreme, East Pages seems perfect. Until it’s not. Finn’s girlfriend, Megan, notices rival players absent from games. As she digs deeper, her life becomes increasingly dangerous: Mysterious cars tail her, strangers issue threats, and she’s sure someone’s been in her bedroom. Is it her imagination, or is East Pages hiding a dark secret? Meanwhile, Finn’s cousin, Brit, the head cheerleader, revels in the perks of popularity and the prestige of attending a renowned sports school. But when a football player dies, she learns that her peers are purposely keeping her in the dark. Is her popularity an illusion? Finn must choose between pursuing his dreams or uncovering the truth. As he, Brit, and Megan unravel the team’s mysteries, they face a powerful force determined to protect the school’s legacy at all costs. From veteran author Heather Buchta comes a gripping second-guessing game of suspicion and paranoia, romance and reputation, and the lengths people will go to protect who—and what—they love.

A vivid, novelistic history of the rise of Athens from relative obscurity to the edge of its golden age, told through the lives of Miltiades and Cimon, the father and son whose defiance of Persia vaulted Athens to a leading place in the Greek world. When we think of ancient Greece we think first of Athens: its power, prestige, and revolutionary impact on art, philosophy, and politics. But on the verge of the fifth century BCE, only fifty years before its zenith, Athens was just another Greek city-state in the shadow of Sparta. It would take a catastrophe, the Persian invasions, to push Athens to the fore. In Phoenix, David Stuttard traces Athens's rise through the lives of two men who spearheaded resistance to Persia: Miltiades, hero of the Battle of Marathon, and his son Cimon, Athens's dominant leader before Pericles. Miltiades's career was checkered. An Athenian provincial overlord forced into Persian vassalage, he joined a rebellion against the Persians then fled Great King Darius's retaliation. Miltiades would later die in prison. But before that, he led Athens to victory over the invading Persians at Marathon. Cimon entered history when the Persians returned; he responded by encouraging a tactical evacuation of Athens as a prelude to decisive victory at sea. Over the next decades, while Greek city-states squabbled, Athens revitalized under Cimon's inspired leadership. The city vaulted to the head of a powerful empire and the threshold of a golden age. Cimon proved not only an able strategist and administrator but also a peacemaker, whose policies stabilized Athens's relationship with Sparta. The period preceding Athens's golden age is rarely described in detail. Stuttard tells the tale with narrative power and historical acumen, recreating vividly the turbulent world of the Eastern Mediterranean in one of its most decisive periods.
