Mixing 20th-century glamour with surrealist humor and a touch of whimsy, Smith's photographs are fantastical impulses come to life American fashion and portrait photographer Rodney Smith (1947-2016) creates a supreme, sublime balance between illusion and reality: women in couture dresses balancing on tightropes, dapper gentlemen seated with cardboard boxes over their heads and optical illusions make up his playfully contradictory oeuvre.

"Feyerabend and Scientific Values" ist ein Fachbuch, das sich mit der Philosophie von Paul Feyerabend auseinandersetzt, einem einflussreichen Denker, der oft als Ikone des wissenschaftlichen Anarchismus und Relativismus betrachtet wird. In diesem Werk wird die gängige Auffassung über Feyerabend hinterfragt und argumentiert, dass sein Ansatz nicht nur destruktiv, sondern auch kreativ war. Der Autor, R.P. Farrell, beleuchtet die Missverständnisse, die Feyerabends Philosophie umgeben, und zeigt auf, dass er eine alternative Theorie der wissenschaftlichen Rationalität unterstützte, die als "tightrope-walking rationality" bezeichnet wird. Diese Theorie betont die Notwendigkeit, in der Wissenschaft kontextsensitiv zwischen irreconcilable Werten zu balancieren. Das Buch ist in zwei Teile gegliedert: Der erste Teil widmet sich den Missverständnissen, während der zweite Teil die positiven Aspekte von Feyerabends Werk zusammenführt und als kohärente Alternative zur traditionellen Auffassung von wissenschaftlicher Rationalität präsentiert.

“[T]he literary equivalent of polished onyx.”—James Clarke, The Guardian "Brilliantly poised and confidently daring, Sleepless Nights is a chin-up tightrope walk along the borderline between fiction and autobiography . . . it is graceful, laconic, and wise." — Newsweek "This original novel does everything for lost times that an irreplaceable family photograph album does—except that here, the words are worth a thousand pictures." —Philip Roth "An extraordinary and haunting book." —Joan Didion, The New York Times Book Review "Sleepless Nights—a novel of mental weather—enchants by the scrupulousness and zip of the narrative voice, its lithe, semi-staccato descriptions and epigrammatic dash." —Susan Sontag, The New Yorker “Talk about exploding expectations of narrative, character, structure in a novel. It’s such a brilliant, strange novel.” — Nicole Krauss, The Guardian

She was India''s first international superstar in the 1930s and 1940s. Astonishingly beautiful, prodigiously talented and a great-grandniece of Rabindranath Tagore, Devika Rani earned rave reviews for her first film, Karma. Shortly afterwards, she married Himansu Rai, and together they set up India''s first truly professional studio, Bombay Talkies. Over the next few years, the studio became the launch pad for some of India''s best-known talent, including Ashok Kumar, Leela Chitnis and Dilip Kumar. After Himansu''s controversial death in 1940, Devika took over Bombay Talkies. She ran the studio with a steel hand, squashing all rebellion and constantly walking a tightrope when it came to the men around her. Then, one day, she met the handsome and reclusive Svetoslav Roerich, and, just like in a Hindi film, nothing was ever the same again. Devika died as she had lived, in the midst of controversy, and an enigma to most.

Nature or culture? Nature and culture? The Swedish artist Henrik Håkansson walks a tightrope between these two poles. He brings them together, allows them to intermingle, collide with each other, and yet remain distinct. His latest work represents a kind of culmination of this process. This book follows and extends an exhibition at KODE Art Museum and Composer Homes in Bergen in Norway, where a tree has been dried out and dissected into 101 parts, to be put on display like a forest of sculptures. The natural entity becomes a work of art as a shared, fragmented environment. The publication captures a special atmosphere of meditative calm and vibrant diversity of meaning, and connects the Bergen piece to a selection of earlier works.HENRIK HÅKANSSON (*1968) studied at the University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm.
