A meditative love letter to the sport of cycling which explores how the cultivation of a tangible skill can shed new light on age-old questions of selfhood, meaning, and purpose. Interweaving a deeply personal narrative of elite-level cycling and mental health struggles with an evocative history of Western philosophy from Plato to the Existentialists, The Art of Cycling explores the limits of rationality and how the visceral, embodied nature of sport ultimately has the potential to redeem us from the painful, locked-in isolation of our own heads. In the tradition of philosophical road trip titles like Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and On the Road, The Art of Cycling turns a critical eye towards our increasingly disconnected digital lives —showing how re-engaging with the material world can breathe new vitality into everyday existence and serve as a countervailing force against the sense of detachment which has come to characterize modern life for so many.

Amerika, 1899. Das Ende der Wild-West-Ära ist angebrochen und Gesetzeshüter machen Jagd auf die letzten verbliebenen Outlaw-Gangs. Wer Widerstand leistet und sich nicht ergibt, wird getötet. Nach einem fehlgeschlagenen Raub in der Stadt Blackwater befinden sich Arthur Morgan und die Van-der-Linde-Gang auf der Flucht. Während Bundesagenten und die besten Kopfgeldjäger des Landes ihnen dicht auf den Fersen sind, muss sich die Gang raubend, stehlend und kämpfend einen Weg durch das erbarmungslose Herz Amerikas bahnen, um zu überleben. Als zunehmende interne Konflikte drohen, die Gang auseinanderzureißen, muss sich Arthur zwischen seinen eigenen Idealen und der Loyalität zu der Gang, mit der er einst aufgewachsen ist, entscheiden.

Reds tells the global history of communism, going beyond the turmoil of the 20th century, and exploring communist ideas, movements, and regimes. It starts in antiquity, not in 1917. It centres not just on the obvious leaders and thinkers but asks how the idealism of millions of working-class activists could lead to their acquiescence in mass murder, repression and social atomisation. A fact whose legacy – unfortunately – is alive and kicking in both Russia and China today. Paul Mason's startling new book will argue that the desire to live without hierarchy and property is an impulse deeply rooted in our human nature. Reds traces the history of communist ideas through revolts in the ancient and medieval worlds, and chronicles the rise of 19th century anti-capitalist movements. Using first hand testimonies of both the perpetrators and the victims, Mason gives a new and terrifying account of how the 20th century experiment in communism turned into a totalitarian nightmare. But, he argues, the story is not over. Western democracies are stagnant and lacking self-belief. Looming climate chaos demands radical economic answers. Millions of people in the global south see China's offer of authoritarian, state-led development model as a viable alternative. And among the Western left, new forms of techno-egalitarianism vie with right-wing libertarianism in the battle over the digital future. Reds will be a major analysis as we head into a dangerous new world order where China and Russia threaten major change to the world's democracies.
In this gorgeous book, Brigitte Lustenberger explores the passing of time, memory and the fragility of life. She transforms flowers dried on glass used for photographic slides into delicate photographs. Celebrating the beauty of decay, Lustenberger leads us into a fascinating world of withered flowers.

Unlock the more straightforward side of The Satanic Verses with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie, a vividly imagined magical realist novel that interweaves the story of the protagonists Saladin and Gibreel, whose lives are transformed after they survive the hijacking of a plane, with an imaginary account of the early days of Islam. Through this story, Rushdie explores the themes of Indian identity, migration, belief and alienation. Although the novel was critically acclaimed in the West, its depiction of Islam and of the Prophet Muhammed angered many Muslims, who interpreted it as blasphemous, and resulted in the issuing of a fatwa for Rushdie's assassination.Find out everything you need to know about The Satanic Verses in a fraction of the time!This in-depth and informative reading guide brings you: A complete plot summary Character studies Key themes and symbols Questions for further reflectionWhy choose BrightSummaries.com?Available in print and digital format, our publications are designed to accompany you on your reading journey.

An engaging, narrative tour behind the scenes of our everyday lives to see the dark beating heart of the Internet itself. We are all connected now. But connected to what, exactly? In Tubes, journalist Andrew Blum takes readers on a fascinating journey to find out. When former Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska famously described the Internet as “a series of tubes;” he seemed hopelessly, foolishly trapped in an old way of knowing the world. But he wasn’t wrong. After all, as Blum writes, the Internet exists: for all the talk of the “placelessness” of our digital age, the Internet is as fixed in real, physical places as any railroad or telephone ever was. It fills enormous buildings, converges in some places and avoids others, and it flows through tubes under ground, up in the air, and under the oceans all over the world. You can map it, you can smell it, and you can even visit it—and that’s just what Blum does in Tubes. From the room in Berkeley where the Internet flickered to life to the busiest streets in Manhattan as new fiber optic cable is laid down; from the coast of Portugal as a 10,000-mile undersea cable just two thumbs’ wide is laid down to connect Europe and West Africa to the wilds of the Pacific Northwest, where Google, Microsoft and Facebook have built monumental data centers—Blum visits them all to chronicle the dramatic story of the Internet’s development, explain how it all works, and capture the spirit of the place/ Like Tracy Kidder’s classic The Soul of a New Machine or Tom Vanderbilt’s recent bestseller Traffic, Tubes combines deep reporting and lucid explanation into an engaging quest to understand the everyday world we live in.

Jugoslawien; lebt und arbeitet in Berlin) widmet sich in ihrer künstlerischen Praxis den Verflechtungen von Technologie, Geschichte und kultureller Identität.

Domanović untersucht die verschiedenen Apparaturen, die dem Impuls dienen, Geschichten über unsere Vergangenheit zu erzählen, seien es Denkmäler oder Statuen, die Massenmedien oder bildgebende Verfahren in der Medizin. Die erste umfassende Monografie von Aleksandra Domanović erscheint anlässlich einer umfassenden Überblicksausstellung in der Kunsthalle Wien und zeigt Skulpturen, Videos, Drucke, Fotografien und digitale Arbeiten der letzten 18 Jahre. Sie enthält ein ausführliches Interview mit der Künstlerin von der Kuratorin der Ausstellung, Michelle Cotton, sowie Essays des Kurators Carson Chan, der Kuratorin und Autorin Caitlin Jones, des Journalisten und Schriftstellers Pablo Larios und des Kritikers und Essayisten Marcel Štefančič jr. Historical Disruptions and the Imprint of Technology Aleksandra Domanović’s (b. Novi Sad, former Yugoslavia, 1981; lives and works in Berlin) creative practice explores the entanglements between technology, history, and cultural identity. One central concern in her multimedia works is a sustained engagement with the transformation of the Western Balkan after the collapse of Yugoslavia, the influence of the internet, and the role of the media. Domanović investigates the various technological arrangements that cater to the impulse to tell stories about our past, be they monuments or statues, the mass media or imaging processes in medicine.

Tor Publishing Group The Woods All Black A1068465740
The Woods All Black is equal parts historical horror, trans romance, and blood-soaked revenge, all set in 1920s Appalachia Leslie Bruin is assigned to the backwoods township of Spar Creek by the Frontier Nursing Service, under its usual mandate: vaccinate the flock, birth babies, and weather the judgements of churchy locals who look at him and see a failed woman. Forged in the fires of the Western Front and reborn in the cafes of Paris, Leslie believes he can handle whatever is thrown at him-but Spar Creek holds a darkness beyond his nightmares. Something ugly festers within the local congregation, and its malice has focused on a young person they insist is an unruly tomboy who must be brought to heel. Violence is bubbling when Leslie arrives, ready to spill over, and he'll have to act fast if he intends to be of use. But the hills enfolding Spar Creek have a mind of their own, and the woods are haunted in ways Leslie does not understand. The Woods All Black is a story of passion, prejudice, and power - an Appalachian period piece that explores reproductive justice and bodily autonomy, the terrors of small-town religiosity, and the necessity of fighting tooth and claw to live as who you truly are. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group The Wall Dancers A1075231908
An eye-opening exploration of the Chinese internet that reveals the intricate dance between freedom and control in contemporary China "The Wall Dancers is history told in a gripping, novelistic style. It is at once a crash course in contemporary Chinese politics and culture and an epic story about human drive, desperation, and ingenuity against inordinate odds. Yi-Ling Liu has written a masterwork." -Jonathan Blitzer, New York Times bestselling author of Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here In the late 1990s, as the world was waking up to the power and emancipatory promise of the internet, Chinese authorities began constructing a system of online surveillance and censorship now known as the Great Firewall. But far from being a barren landscape, the digital world that sprouted up behind the firewall brimmed with new subcultures and tech innovations, offering many Chinese citizens previously unimaginable connection and opportunity. Today, as the country's leadership intensifies its control of public discourse and Western headlines reduce the Chinese public to a faceless monolith, journalist Yi-Ling Liu presents an intimate portrait of China's online ecosystem-and a crucial lens into the on-the-ground reality of life there. Tracing the last three decades of the Chinese internet's evolution-from its lexicon to its memes to the precise nature of its censorship-she equips readers with a critical tool to assess the past, present, and future of a global power. Drawing on years of firsthand reporting, The Wall Dancers weaves together the stories of individuals navigating China's transformation into both the world's largest online user base and one of its most populous authoritarian states. As these entrepreneurs, activists, artists, and dreamers experience the internet's power as a tool for both control and liberation, they grapple with universal questions of success and authenticity, love and solidarity, faith and resilience. The Wall Dancers is at once an unforgettable work of human storytelling and a vital exploration of what it means to live with dignity and hope within the technological systems that now shape all our lives.
