    Another Planet
    THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLERSHORTLISTED FOR THE PENDERYN MUSIC BOOK PRIZE'Tender, wise and funny' Sunday Express'Beautifully observed, deadly funny' Max PorterBefore becoming an acclaimed musician and writer, Tracey Thorn was a typical teenager: bored and cynical, despairing of her aspirational parents. Her only comfort came from house parties and the female pop icons who hinted at a new kind of living.Returning to the scene of her childhood, Thorn takes us beyond the bus shelters, the pub car parks and the weekly discos, to the parents who wanted so much for their children and the children who wanted none of it. With great wit and insight, Thorn reconsiders the Green Belt post-war dream so many artists have mocked, and yet so many artists have come from.

    Fair gehandelt?
    »Das klügste Buch des Jahres« - The EconomistIn den letzten Jahren hat sich eine neue kulturelle Elite gebildet, die sich anders als die Spaß- und Erlebnisgesellschaft der 1990er- und 2000er-Jahre durch »bewussten Konsum« bzw. betonten Konsum-Verzicht vom Rest der Gesellschaft abzuheben versucht. Es geht der sogenannten »aspirational class« dabei um die richtige Entscheidung, nicht um die günstigste oder teuerste Entscheidung.Die promovierte Soziologin und Stadtplanerin Elizabeth Currid-Halkett zeichnet in ihrem vielbeachteten Buch ein eindrucksvolles Bild dieser neuen Elite und argumentiert, dass die ethisch und ökologisch wohlinformierten Lifestyle-Entscheidungen der vermeintlich moralisch Überlegenen die Spaltung der Gesellschaft jedoch nicht verringert oder gar überwinden hilft. Im Gegenteil: Die Konsumgewohnheiten der neuen Elite reproduzieren und verstärken sogar noch die Kluft zwischen den mobilen, weltoffenen und gebildeten Schichten und den ohnehin schon Abgehängten, den weniger Entscheidungsfreien.

    Medieval Robots: Mechanism, Magic, Nature, and Art: The Middle Ages Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 445min
    A thousand years before Isaac Asimov set down his Three Laws of Robotics, real and imagined automata appeared in European courts, liturgies, and literary texts. Medieval robots took such forms as talking statues, mechanical animals, and silent metal guardians; some served to entertain or instruct while others performed disciplinary or surveillance functions. Variously ascribed to artisanal genius, inexplicable cosmic forces, or demonic powers, these marvelous fabrications raised fundamental questions about knowledge, nature, and divine purpose in the Middle Ages.Medieval Robots recovers the forgotten history of fantastical, aspirational, and terrifying machines that captivated Europe in imagination and reality between the ninth and 14th centuries. E. R. Truitt traces the different forms of self-moving or self-sustaining manufactured objects from their earliest appearances in the Latin West through centuries of mechanical and literary invention. This original and wide-ranging study reveals the convergence of science, technology, and imagination in medieval culture and demonstrates the striking similarities between medieval and modern robotic and cybernetic visions.The book is published by University of Pennsylvania Press. ungekürzt.

    The Tailor of Salisbury: A True Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 153min
    Re-released. Geoffrey James Hurford, a tailor who worked in Salisbury, England, was born in 1921 in Damerham, Hampshire, at a time when Crown Prince Hirohito, aged 20, had just been named Regent of Japan, when the cinema was erupting with excitement at the arrival on screen of Italy's most glamorous star, Rudolph Valentino, and when, in the United Kingdom, a 45-mile-to-the-gallon, brand-new Rover two-seater car could be bought for 230 guineas. As a child, Geoffrey contracted osteomyelitis, a chronic bone infection, and subsequently spent several years in hospital undergoing traumatic operations. By the time he was 21, he voluntarily made the decision to have his leg amputated. This fascinating account of Geoffrey's life - childhood, tailoring college, marriage and an extensive working career - is given a sensitive and humorous "talking head" performance by Martin Jarvis. It is an aspirational and entertaining true story of a tailor who, until his death in his early 80s, carried on working from the Dickensian tiny front room of his house in Salisbury's city centre. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Martin Jarvis. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rksw/000004/bk_rksw_000004_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
