Paperback. Condition: Very Good. On 12 October 2010 the world's attention was fixed on a remote copper mine in the Atacama desert in Chile. Final preparations were underway for a daring rescue to bring to an end the longest underground entrapment in human history. 69 days earlier, 33 men were midway through a routine shift, deep in the San Jose mine. They stopped for lunch at the tiny safety shelter, 688 meters below the surface. Ten minutes later they heard an almighty crack and a deep rumbling sound. Clouds of dust and debris poured down on the choking men. The bombardment lasted for five hours. When it finally cleared the men discovered they were trapped under tonnes of collapsed rock. 17 days after the collapse, a drill finally reached them. They sent a note back to the surface: 'We are well inside the shelter, the 33'. Building on the exclusive access he was given by the rescue team, and dozens of hours of interviews with the miners themselves, Jonathan Franklin takes us deep into the collapsed mine with the men, and behind the scenes of the rescue effort to bring them back to life. For 17 days, hope slowly turned to desperation and then resignation as the miners prepared themselves for a slow agonising death. When a drill finally got through to the men, they still had over seven weeks to wait until they were freed. What those men experienced in the claustrophobic dark of the mine, how their families kept faith, and the unprecedented scale of the rescue make this an unforgettable story of how hope overcame fear,ingenuity triumphed over adversity and how 33 trapped men and the rescuers dedicated to saving them created a miracle in the desert. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. On 12 October 2010 the worldâ s attention was fixed on a remote copper mine in the Atacama desert in Chile. Final preparations were underway for a daring rescue to bring to an end the longest underground entrapment in human history. 69 days earlier, 33 men were midway through a routine shift, deep in the San Jose mine. They stopped for their lunch break at the tiny safety shelter, 688 meters below the surface. Ten minutes later they heard an almighty crack and a deep rumbling sound. Clouds of dust and debris poured down on the choking men. The bombardment lasted for five hours. When it finally cleared the men began to explore the 6km of underground tunnels, caves and dead ends â only to discover they were trapped under tonnes of collapsed rock. They survived on the most meagre of rations believing an attempt to rescue them was underway: a spoonful of tuna fish and a half glass of milk every 48 hours. But as days turned to weeks, hope began to fade and as starvation set in, they prepared for a slow and agonizing death. 17 days after the collapse a drill finally reached them, they sent a note back to the surface: â all 33 of us are well inside the shelterâ . Now a 700 meter-long tunnel, the width of an orange connected them to the surface. Above ground at â Camp Hopeâ the rescue team now included hundreds of geologists, engineers, psychologists, as well as the families of the men. Three separate rescue missions were launched, but hit one setback after another. 10 weeks after the collapse, and with the world watching, all 33 men would be brought safely to the surface. The 33 is the remarkable story of their 10-week incarceration, half a mile below the surface â and the epic rescue mission which finally brought them back to life. 2.4 Centimeters X 15.3 Centimeters X 23.4 Centimeters.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Black Sound White Cube Schaut man sich im kontinental-europäischen Kunstkontext um, dann ist von Blues, Jazz, Hip Hop, Drum & Bass und Dubstep die Musik die man als 'schwarzen Sound' bezeichnen könnte, sehr wenig zu spüren. Dagegen werden die Ausdrucksformen und Sprachen von traditionell weißen musikalischen Szenen problemlos aufgenommen. Man denke dabei an z.B. an die Künstlerinnengruppe Chicks on Speed, die sich in der Tradition von Riot Girlz situiert, den gemalten Punk Attitüden von Daniel Richter, oder dem Deutschen-Welle-Kitsch im Werk von Jonathan Meese. Beim Anblick von Kunst, die sich auf die Tradition der afro-atlantischen Diaspora bezieht, scheint die zeitgenössische kontinental-europäische Kunst jedoch noch immer sprachlos, da fehlen die Worte und vor allem der kulturelle Bezug. Einen Beat als komplexe Avantgarde zu verstehen, wie in der Harlem Renaissance der zwanziger Jahre, mit der Erfindung der synkopischen Swing-Rhythmen, ist im Kontext des 'white cube', welcher als Kunstraumtypologie heutzutage noch immer hegemonial ist, durchaus unmöglich. Selbst wenn die Wände eine andere Farbe bekommen, selbst wenn der 'white cube' gar keine Kubusform hat, sondern in einen 'alternativen' Raum gewechselt hat, ist die Chance groß, daß der 'white cube' - der Kunstraum, der Raum in dem zeitgenössische Kunst gezeigt wird - weiß 'klingt'.Black Sound White Cube von dem belgischen Philosophen Dieter Lesage und der deutschen Künstlerin und Kuratorin Ina Wudtke wirft ein neues Licht auf globale Zusammenhänge der zeitgenössischen Kunstproduktion und kommentiert die Arbeit internationaler KünstlerInnen, wie Sonia Boyce, Jennie C. Jones, Minouk Lim, Nadine Robinson, Sanford Biggers und Yoel Vazquez, und KuratorInnen, wie Thelma Golden, Valerie Cassel Oliver, Lydia Yee, Richard J. Powell und Franklin Sirmans, die sich in ihren künstlerischen und kuratorischen Arbeiten auf die afro-atlantische Diaspora beziehen und das Verhältnis von Musik und Bildender Kunst ausloten. Arbeiten von bekannten Künstlern, die in diesem Kontext immer wieder unkritisch erwähnt werden, so wie 4'33' von John Cage, und Rock My Religion von Dan Graham, widmet Black Sound White Cube eine erfrischend kritische Lektüre. Damit legen Ina Wudtke und Dieter Lesage, zugleich höflich und polemisch, subalterne Traditionslinien offen und regen Diskussionen abseits der hegemonialen Traditionsfelder von Avantgarde und Rock an. 80 pp. Englisch.

The present work entitled American Poetry and Prose edited by Norman Foerster is undoubtedly an outstanding literary history of American literature in three volumes the Colonial Mind the Romantic Movement (in two parts) and the Realistic Movement. Volume I Colonial Mind includes earlier writings of American poets and essayists on different imaginative and realistic themes. The Volume II in two parts deals with the Romantic movement in American poetry and prose. The romantic movement replaced the rational man of the eighteenth century with the emotional man of the early nineteenth. The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries had written under the rich traditions of Christian and classical authority. The Volume III Realistic movement in American poetry and prose includes more realistic and powerful writings of 19 and early 20 century Europe as well as western cultural and literacy trends. Realistic prose entered upon its great age in the 70's and continued crescendo but poetry had to wait for a revival until 1912. True the new poetry had been announced by Whitman and Emily Dickinson had written imagist.
