A mysterious lab. A sinister scientist. A secret history. If you think you know the truth behind Eleven's mother, prepare to have your mind turned Upside Down in this thrilling prequel to the hit show Stranger Things. It's the summer of 1969, and the shock of conflict reverberates through the youth of America, both at home and abroad. As a student at a quiet college campus in the heartland of Indiana, Terry Ives couldn't be farther from the front lines of Vietnam or the incendiary protests in Washington. But the world is changing, and Terry isn't content to watch from the sidelines. When word gets around about an important government experiment in the small town of Hawkins, she signs on as a test subject for the project, code-named MKULTRA. Unmarked vans, a remote lab deep in the woods, mind-altering substances administered by tight-lipped researchers . . . and a mystery the young and restless Terry is determined to uncover. But behind the walls of Hawkins National Laboratory-and the piercing gaze of its director, Dr. Martin Brenner-lurks a conspiracy greater than Terry could have ever imagined. To face it, she'll need the help of her fellow test subjects, including one so mysterious the world doesn't know she exists-a young girl with unexplainable superhuman powers and a number instead of a name: 008. Amid the rising tensions of the new decade, Terry Ives and Martin Brenner have begun a different kind of war-one where the human mind is the battlefield.

A Financial Times Book Best Book of the Year 2020 A Foreign Affairs Best Book of the Year 2020 The gripping, untold story of how Saudi Arabia's secretive and mercurial new ruler rose to power. Even in his youth as a prince among thousands of princes, Mohammed bin Salman nurtured sweeping ambitions. He wanted power - enough of it to reshape his hyper-conservative, insular Islamic kingdom. When his elderly father took the throne in 2015, MBS got his chance. As the hands-on-ruler, he made seismic changes, working doggedly to overhaul the kingdom's economy, loosen its strict Islamic social codes and confront nearby enemies, especially Iran. His vision initially won fans at home and abroad as he convinced other nations that the moment had come to bet big on Saudi Arabia. Over time, however, the sheen of the visionary young reformer has tarnished, leaving many wondering whether MBS is actually an aspiring dictator whose lack of experience and rash decisions are destabilizing the world's most volatile region. Based on years of reporting and hundreds of covert interviews, MBS provides new insights into Saudi Arabia's catastrophic military intervention in Yemen, the bizarre detention of the Lebanese prime minister, the surprise arrest of hundreds of princes and businessmen, and the greatest scandal of the young prince's rise: the brutal murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi state officials with links to MBS - a crime that shocked the world. A riveting portrait of a determined autocrat on the rise, MBS asks how one man's actions and obsessions are shaking the Middle East.

Robin Rhode's trademark is the wall. His works are influenced by urban music culture, film, popular sports, youth culture, and traditional South African storytelling. They are created in the public space, on walls. It's not about the statement that he leaves behind on the street, though-it's about the process. Hence, in his visual short stories he captures the links between drawing, performance, and sculpture, step by step. No body without a line, no line without a body. With drawing as his starting point, he develops increasingly complex photographic works, digital animations, performances, sculptures, and works on paper, which comprise a content-related balancing act between South African history, culture, mindset, signs, and codes and the abstract language of European-American art history. This richly illustrated catalogue accompanies Rhode's first solo show in twelve years in Germany. Besides pictures of the art itself, the book also contains an interview, an introductory essay, and poems by South African authors, to which his work often refers.Robin Rhode (*1976, Cape Town) was awarded the 2018 Zurich Art Prize.

For over half a century, DNA has dominated science and the popular imagination as the "secret of life". But over the last several decades, a quiet revolution has taken place. In a series of breathtaking discoveries, the biochemist Thomas R. Cech and a diverse cast of brilliant scientists have revealed that RNA-long overlooked as the passive servant of DNA-sits at the centre of biology's greatest mysteries. In The Catalyst, Cech brings together years of research to demonstrate that RNA is the true key to understanding life on Earth, from its origins to our future in the twenty-first century. A gripping journey of discovery, The Catalyst moves from the early experiments that first hinted at RNA's spectacular powers, to Cech's own paradigm-shifting finding that it can catalyse cellular reactions, to the cutting-edge biotechnologies poised to reshape our health. We learn how RNA-once thought merely to transmit DNA's genetic instructions to the cell's protein-making machinery-may have jump-started life itself, and how, at the same time, it can cut our individual lives short through viral diseases and cancer. We see how RNA is implicated in the ageing process and explore the darker depths of the supposed fountain of youth, telomerase. And we catch a thrilling glimpse into how RNA-powered therapies-from CRISPR, the revolutionary tool that uses RNA to rewrite the code of life, to the groundbreaking mRNA vaccines that have saved millions during the pandemic, and more-may enable us to improve and even extend life beyond nature's current limits. The Catalyst is a must-read guide to the present and future of biology and medicine.

By 1955, the one-size car to fit all-customers era ended, and by 1960, Ford offered compact, mid-size, and full-size cars. While Ford's Mustang and Thunderbird stole the headlines, Ford's full-size models, the Galaxies, Fairlanes, XL/500s, LTD, Crown Victorias, and others, delivered exceptional comfort, performance, and style in a variety of different trim levels and power train packages. For families, the full-size car was the chosen mode of transportation. Many owners remember these cars from their youth, and hold them in high regard. These models populated the roads and garages because Ford offered a full range of cars with the base six-cylinder engines all the way up to the high-performance 429 cubic-inch V-8. Full Size Fords: 1955-1970 is a fascinating retrospective of the cars - the design process, manufacturing, equipment packages, and a thorough listing of options, interior patterns, and paint codes. All models from 1955 to 1970 that brought Ford to dominance in the full-size category are revealed in compelling detail. The introduction of the Galaxie, the development of the Skyliner retractable roof car, the radical redesign of the 1960 models to counter Chevy's new sedan, and much more is covered. Period magazine reviews provide insight and perspective of the driving experience and performance of various full-size models. A fascinating retrospective on Ford Y-Block engines as well as Ford FE engine family and the new for 1970 Lima series engine is also provided. In addition, author David Temple examines Ford's racing exploits, featuring the dual-quad 427 Cammer engine, the Galaxie Grand National race car, and factory and lightweight drag cars. The inside pages of this book are printed in black and white.

Im Sommer 2021 zeigt das Museum Folkwang in Essen das Werk von Tobias Zielony in einer großen Überblicksausstellung. Zu sehen sind Fotografien und Videoarbeiten aus den vergangenen 20 Jahren. Eine wesentliche Thematik in Zielonys künstlerischem Werk ist die Jugendkultur und ihr Bezug zu Herkunft, Repräsentation und Mode sowie die damit einhergehende Definition von Identität in einer sich verändernden medialen Wirklichkeit. Die digitale Kultur hat zu neuen Kommunikationsformen fotografischer Bilder geführt, die die Idee des Selbst und der (Selbst-)Repräsentation grundlegend verändert haben. In den Arbeiten von Tobias Zielony zeigen sich die Abgebildeten als selbstbewusst Teilnehmende in diesem Wechselspiel – die trotz kultureller und sozialer Unterschiede in einem globalen Austausch sozialer Codes und Selbstbildnisse agieren. Als Verlag hat Spector Books die Arbeit von Tobias Zielony von Beginn an begleitet. 2008 veröffentlichten wir die Publikation Trona, die inzwischen in der dritten Auflage ist. Es folgten die Bände Manitoba (2011), Jenny Jenny (2013), Vele (2014). Diese enge und kontinuierliche gemeinsame Arbeit hat zu einer besonderen Idee für den Katalog der Essener Ausstellung geführt. Er erscheint als eine Serie von sechs kleinen Bänden, die jeweils zwei bis vier Arbeiten komplett zeigen und von einem Text begleitet werden, der in essayistischer oder fiktionaler Form ein Gegenüber für diese Bilder schafft. Gewonnen wurden dafür sechs Protagonist*innen der jüngsten literarischen Generation: Sophia Eisenhut, Joshua Gross, Dora Koderhold, Enis Maci, Mazlum Nergiz und Jakob Nolte. 1973 in Wuppertal geboren, studierte Tobias Zielony Dokumentarfotografie in Newport und Leipzig. 2015 nahm der Künstler mit seiner Arbeit The Citizen an einer Gruppenausstellung für den Deutschen Pavillon auf der 56. Biennale in Venedig teil. Er hatte Gruppenausstellungen u.a. im Bozar Center for Fine Arts, Brüssel (2015) und der 2. Montevideo Biennale (2014) sowie Einzelausstellungen im Philadelphia Museum of Art (2011) und der Berlinischen Galerie (2013). –– In summer 2021, the Museum Folkwang in Essen will be showing the work of Tobias Zielony in a large survey exhibition, featuring photographs and video works from the last twenty years. One of the key themes in Zielony’s artistic work is youth culture, its relationship to background, status, and fashion, and the definition of identity associated with this in a realm where the realities of the medium are shifting. Digital culture has revolutionized the ways in which photographic images can communicate, fundamentally altering the idea of the self and self-representation. In Zielony’s works, the subjects of his pictures appear as self-aware participants in this process of interaction—engaging in a global exchange of social codes and self-images, irrespective of the cultural and social differences between the people involved. Spector Books has consistently supported Zielony’s work from the start of his career. In 2008 we published Trona, now in its third edition, followed by Manitoba (2011), Jenny Jenny (2013), and Vele (2014). This sus- tained process of close collaboration has given rise to an unusual idea for the catalogue for the Essen exhibition. It is to be published as a series of six small volumes, each showing two to four works in full and accompanied by a text that creates a counterpoint to these works in the form of an essay or piece of fiction. Six protagonists of the new literary generation—Sophia Eisenhut, Joshua Gross, Dora Koderhold, Enis Maci, Mazlum Nergiz, and Jakob Nolte—have agreed to take part in this project. Born in 1973 in Wuppertal, Germany, Tobias Zielony studied Documentary Photography in Newport and Leipzig.

Gewonnen wurden dafür sechs Protagonist*innen der jüngsten literarischen Generation: Sophia Eisenhut, Joshua Gross, Dora Koderhold, Enis Maci, Mazlum Nergiz und Jakob Nolte. 1973 in Wuppertal geboren, studierte Tobias Zielony Dokumentarfotografie in Newport und Leipzig. 2015 nahm der Künstler mit seiner Arbeit The Citizen an einer Gruppenausstellung für den Deutschen Pavillon auf der 56. Biennale in Venedig teil. Er hatte Gruppenausstellungen u.a. im Bozar Center for Fine Arts, Brüssel (2015) und der 2. Montevideo Biennale (2014) sowie Einzelausstellungen im Philadelphia Museum of Art (2011) und der Berlinischen Galerie (2013). –– In summer 2021, the Museum Folkwang in Essen will be showing the work of Tobias Zielony in a large survey exhibition, featuring photographs and video works from the last twenty years. One of the key themes in Zielony’s artistic work is youth culture, its relationship to background, status, and fashion, and the definition of identity associated with this in a realm where the realities of the medium are shifting. Digital culture has revolutionized the ways in which photographic images can communicate, fundamentally altering the idea of the self and self-representation. In Zielony’s works, the subjects of his pictures appear as self-aware participants in this process of interaction—engaging in a global exchange of social codes and self-images, irrespective of the cultural and social differences between the people involved. Spector Books has consistently supported Zielony’s work from the start of his career. In 2008 we published Trona, now in its third edition, followed by Manitoba (2011), Jenny Jenny (2013), and Vele (2014). This sus- tained process of close collaboration has given rise to an unusual idea for the catalogue for the Essen exhibition. It is to be published as a series of six small volumes, each showing two to four works in full and accompanied by a text that creates a counterpoint to these works in the form of an essay or piece of fiction. Six protagonists of the new literary generation—Sophia Eisenhut, Joshua Gross, Dora Koderhold, Enis Maci, Mazlum Nergiz, and Jakob Nolte—have agreed to take part in this project. Born in 1973 in Wuppertal, Germany, Tobias Zielony studied Documentary Photography in Newport and Leipzig. In 2015 the artist participated at a group show for the German Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale with his work The Citizen (2015). He had group shows for example at Bozar Center for Fine Arts, Brussels (2015) and the 2nd Montevideo Biennial (2014) and solo shows

Im Sommer 2021 zeigt das Museum Folkwang in Essen das Werk von Tobias Zielony in einer großen Überblicksausstellung. Zu sehen sind Fotografien und Videoarbeiten aus den vergangenen 20 Jahren. Eine wesentliche Thematik in Zielonys künstlerischem Werk ist die Jugendkultur und ihr Bezug zu Herkunft, Repräsentation und Mode sowie die damit einhergehende Definition von Identität in einer sich verändernden medialen Wirklichkeit. Die digitale Kultur hat zu neuen Kommunikationsformen fotografischer Bilder geführt, die die Idee des Selbst und der (Selbst-)Repräsentation grundlegend verändert haben. In den Arbeiten von Tobias Zielony zeigen sich die Abgebildeten als selbstbewusst Teilnehmende in diesem Wechselspiel – die trotz kultureller und sozialer Unterschiede in einem globalen Austausch sozialer Codes und Selbstbildnisse agieren. Als Verlag hat Spector Books die Arbeit von Tobias Zielony von Beginn an begleitet. 2008 veröffentlichten wir die Publikation Trona, die inzwischen in der dritten Auflage ist.
