Schauspielerporträts
by Brigitte Landes, Margarita Broich
Eben waren sie noch Hamlet oder Kreon, Ödipus oder Medea, der eingebildete Kranke oder Wallenstein in großen Inszenierungen. Gerade haben sie sich unter Applaus verbeugt, in Kostüm und Maske gehen sie von der Bühne ab. Die Vorstellung ist zu Ende. Diesen »komisch einsamen Moment, wo man vor dem Spiegel sitzt und es überhaupt keinen Darstellungswillen mehr gibt« bemerkte Margarita Broich zuerst an sich selbst. Seither macht sie diese Entdeckung zu ihrem Thema: Sie fotografiert ihre Kolleginnen und Kollegen in diesem sehr kurzen eigenartigen Zwischenzustand von Erschöpfung und Erleichterung, Müdigkeit und Erregung, an Orten, die nur entdeckt, wer sich darin auskennt. Es sind Bilder vom Theater jenseits des ganzen Theaters. Noch im Theater, aber nicht mehr auf der Bühne.

Medea, la donna prima del mito მედეა, მითების პირველი ქალი
by Viviana Sgorbini, Tamar Gumburashvili, Enrica Fontani
Medea is often associated to Euripides' tragedy, which makes her an infanticide. But this is only one version of her story. Who was Medea before this myth started to spread? This precious picture book takes the reader back to ancient Colchis and Greece through delicate watercolour illustrations and a translation into Georgian and ancient Greek and shows Medea as an enchanteress and healer.

Witchcraft
Ancient Origins to the Present Day
by Richard Marshall
"Intelligently written" "Scholarly and exhilarating" "Carefully documented... outstanding artwork" This absorbing volume features wise women, Wiccans and warlocks alongside the history of the human tragedy of the European witch-burning era and the Salem trials, and the heroes who risked torture to speak out against the madness. Sorcerors Morgan le Fay, Melusine and Medea are among the diverse and infamous characters whose stories are told. Less well known are the ordinary victims, mainly women denounced by ignorance and ill-will, but sometimes men too, and children as young as four years of age. Because the arts of magic, and the fear of them, are timeless and universal, the scope of this exploration covers all continents and eras.

Geography & the EnvironmentJuly 2009Scientific Value of Arctic Sea Ice Imagery Derived Products
by National Research Council, Division on Earth and Life Studies, Polar Research Board, Committee on Climate, Energy, and National Security, Committee on the Scientific Value of Arctic Sea Ice Imagery Derived Products
During the 1990s, a government program brought together environmental scientists and members of the intelligence community to consider how classified assets and data could be applied to further the understanding of environmental change. As part of the Medea program, collection of overhead classified imagery of sea ice at four sites around the Arctic basin was initiated in 1999, and two additional sites were added in 2005. Collection of images during the summer months at these six locations has continued until the present day. Several hundred unclassified images with a nominal resolution of 1 meter have been derived from the classified images collected at the 6 Arctic sites. To assist in the process of making the unclassified derived imagery more widely useful, the National Research Council reviewed the derived images and considered their potential uses for scientific research. In this book, we explore the importance of sea ice in the Arctic and illustrate the types of information--often unique in its detail--that the derived images could contribute to the scientific discussion.

The ArtsFamous Women
by Giovanni Boccaccio
De claris mulieribus is a collection of biographies of famous women of ancient and medieval times written by Giovanni Boccaccio in 1361. Boccaccio’s first aim was to offer, especially to his female readers, a collection of short and pleasant stories with lovely invitations to virtue and whipping remarks against vice. The work became very successful between the 14th and the 16th centuries, and was translated and published all around Europe. In some manuscripts the text is accompanied by a series of illustrations. For this edition, with a selection of thirty biographies of the most famous women from history, mythology and religion, the Ms. Royal 16 G.V. from the British Library in London has been chosen, a French manuscript from the second half of the 15th century, the miniatures of which, of exceptional elegance, set the happenings within the refined atmosphere of the transalpine court.

Te comeré el corazón
by Asbel Hernández
Una vez más, Asbel Hernández me toma por sorpresa. Leo sus historias y es inevitable sentir su aspereza y su enorme fuerza narrativa. Es una literatura cruel. Una prosa despiadada que es capaz de colocar en la superficie de una letra, de cualquier palabra, de una frase trivial, todo el dolor que acompaña al verdadero amor. Al amor por un hombre, al amor de una madre, al amor de una hija. al hambre de amor. Con su ya conocido estilo provocador, Asbel nos obliga en este libro a replantear nuestro concepto de familia al mostrarnos su compleja fragilidad anclada en el discurso cultural alentando roles que nada tienen que ver con el amor. Asbel desnuda en su literatura a La Maternidad exponiendo sus lealtades y mentiras, las dependencias. Sus demandas nunca satisfechas. Por sus páginas desfilan todas las Medeas y Clitemnestras, todos los destinos posibles enfrentados a las tristes fuerzas de poder que se juegan al interior de la familia. Cierro el libro y pregunto en silencio: ¿Me quieres, mamá? María Esther Núñez

A Journey Through Eastern Turkey
by Bettina Selby
Beyond Ararat is a journey to the cradle of civilization, where the Tigris and the Euphrates rise. Along the corridor of ancient invasion fought over by Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Turks, Arabs, Mongols, Kurds nd Armenians, Bettina Selby follows by bicycle, travelling among today’s survivors living uneasily together under Turkish rule. An enthusiastic, perceptive and sympathetic traveller Irish Independent The journey begins along the strange and beautiful Black Sea coast of Turkey, the poath of Xenoophon and the Ten Thousand, of Jason and the Golden Fleece. From the Russian border her route swings south over vast plains and rugged mountains to the ghost town of Ani and to Ararat, the legendary resting place of Noah’s ark. It was a hard journey through some of the most magnificent scenery in the world - and some of the least predictable people, where a lone female cyclist never knew whether to expect kindness and hospitality, or stones and bullets and attacks from savage dogs. Travelling alone and by bicycle offers unique relationships with both land and people. Bettina Selby interweaves her account with insights into the problems of an area re-establishing its position as the bridge between East and West. She brings alive the rich historical background so vital for understanding this troubled part of the world. An enthusiastic, perceptive and sympathetic traveller Irish Independent
