    Pissing on the Pissoir: Studies in World Art, Book 132 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 10min
    Dr. Glyn Thompson’s digital book, Duchamp’s Urinal? The Facts Behind the Façade, at first tends to make the heart sink. "Do I really want," one tends to ask oneself, "to learn this much about the trade in porcelain sanitary wares, as it existed in the United States during the second decade of the 20th century?" Dr. Thompson has done his homework, and he is insistent that you should do it too. "No skipping over the chapter-and-verse, boy, in search of something a bit racier."Some of the facts are, however, sufficiently racy in themselves. The urinal, or Fountain, as it is now officially called, turns out not to have been the work - or wheeze - of Duchamp himself, but that of a mad German baroness called Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven. Her biographical details are almost too good to be true. Her maiden name was Plötz (as in "I’m just going to plotz here and wait while you do the shopping."). She was born in Swinemünde (you can read that as "swine mouth") in Pomerania, and studied art in not-yet-infamous Dachau, near Munich. Baron Leopold von Freytag Loringhoven was her third husband, whom she married in New York in 1913, having emigrated in America in 1910. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Van Riper.

    The Stronger Sex: Contemporary Russian Women Artists: Studies in World Art, Book 142 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min
    We live at a time when there is great confusion, certainly here in the West, about contemporary art in Russia. It is now nearly a quarter of a century since the Soviet Union fell. No convincing narrative has emerged concerning the development of Russian art during that period. Western critics have gone on parroting the names of the artists who made international reputations for themselves during the last decade or so of Soviet rule - the so-called "perestroika" epoch. They seem to know little or nothing about what has happened to the visual arts in Russia since the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) on 26 December 1991. This has not been entirely their own fault. The collapse of the USSR coincided with the heyday of post-modernism - the art movement that marked the end of the long succession of modernist art movements that had evolved, one after another, sometimes with one overlapping and competing with another, since the appearance of the Fauves in the first decade of the 20th century. Since 1991, the narrative of supposed progress in the visual arts has become more and more confused. We are now perhaps entitled to speak not only of post-modernism, but also of post-post-modernism – a kind of double negative in the continuing artistic story. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    London Terminal: Frieze Art Fair 2013: CV/Visual Arts Research, Book 187 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 26min
    Edward Lucie-Smith reviews Frieze Art Fair London 2013, in a critical take on the contemporary scene. It's pretty easy to get the point of the Frieze Masters art fair, now in its second edition, after a very successful start last year. Its purpose is to present the best of the best - or, at the very least, a good slice of the top quality art that is currently on the market. It includes art from every epoch - antiquities, Old Masters, classic Modernism, and a good range of well established, highly regarded contemporary artists, with work ranging from David Hockney to Judy Chicago. Whether to you respond to what they have to offer or not, these artists are icons of the two rather different cultures they belong to. One of the great pleasures of Frieze Masters, this year more than ever, is the accidental confrontations the event manages to set up. Seeing an Old Master out of the corner of your eyes, when a work by a still living artist is directly in front of you certainly helps to simulate one's critical and interpretative faculties. Any quibbles one may have remain minor. For example, if you wanted visible proof that the aging Picasso was over-prolific, you only needed to come here. But you knew that already, didn't you, long before you walked through the door? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Van Riper.

    Michelangelo Drawings: Studies in World Art, Book 59 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 9min
    There is no doubt that the show of Michelangelo drawings at the British Museum in London counted as one of the artistic events of the year, if not of the decade. It is unlikely that the public will have another chance to see such a complete panorama of the artist’s achievement as a draughtsman for many years to come, if indeed ever again. The museum reported, before the exhibition had even opened, that advance bookings had reached a level three times greater than that of any previous show held in its - rather cramped - temporary exhibition space.  The reasons for this rush to get in are not hard to discover. Michelangelo’s reputation is that of the greatest of all artists. Most of his finished, or near-finished, works are in marble or fresco, and can never leave their locations in Florence or Rome. His drawings are the only portable objects we have, and many of the best of these are in British collections - in the British Museum itself, and in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. To these the show adds drawings borrowed from the Teyler Museum in Haarlem. Many of the sheets on view are now so familiar from reproduction - for example, the studies of bathers for the "Battle of Cascina", or the red chalk drawing for the figure of Adam on the Sistine ceiling - that many visitors will feel sure they have encountered them previously. In fact, they probably haven’t. Old Master drawings are too fragile, and too vulnerable to the effects of light, to be put on view very often, or for prolonged periods of time. ungekürzt.

    Summary of Think and Grow Rich: A Practical Summary of a Napoleon Hill Classic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min
    Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill has become the most read how-to book on accumulating money. And that's because it works. If it is riches you seek, you've found the blueprint for its achievement. The only issue with the book is that is fairly long. And because each chapter is in itself a crucial step in the art of amassing wealth and abundance, one cannot afford to overlook any practical detail. That's where this book comes in. This is a practical summary of Think and Grow Rich. Practical, because it includes only the most important and crucial details. While it is still wise to read the full book, doing so can take at least seven or eight hours, and in today's busy life, it can take weeks or even months to find the time to read the full text. Therefore, I have compiled a detailed summary of the book. It will only take you about an hour to listen to the whole text, so in half the time it would take you read it, you can hear this summary three or four times. That repetition can do wonders, and really help the time-tested principles to sink in. This will give you time to think about the principles, but most importantly, to act on them. Some ideas will require to write things down, or designate time to various thought periods. I recommend listening to the whole book at least once, and then acting on the various suggestions presented. This will give you a full picture of the process and a better understanding of what it exactly that you need to do. To your massive financial success, Marvin Saul ungekürzt. Language: English.

    America's War for the Greater Middle East (eBook, ePUB)
    LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD • A searing reassessment of U.S. military policy in the Middle East over the past four decades from retired army colonel and New York Times bestselling author Andrew J. Bacevich From the end of World War II until 1980, virtually no American soldiers were killed in action while serving in the Greater Middle East. Since 1990, virtually no American soldiers have been killed in action anywhere else. What caused this shift? Andrew J. Bacevich, one of the country's most respected voices on foreign affairs, offers an incisive critical history of this ongoing military enterprise-now more than thirty years old and with no end in sight. During the 1980s, Bacevich argues, a great transition occurred. As the Cold War wound down, the United States initiated a new conflict-a War for the Greater Middle East-that continues to the present day. The long twilight struggle with the Soviet Union had involved only occasional and sporadic fighting. But as this new war unfolded, hostilities became persistent. From the Balkans and East Africa to the Persian Gulf and Central Asia, U.S. forces embarked upon a seemingly endless series of campaigns across the Islamic world. Few achieved anything remotely like conclusive success. Instead, actions undertaken with expectations of promoting peace and stability produced just the opposite. As a consequence, phrases like "permanent war" and "open-ended war" have become part of everyday discourse. Connecting the dots in a way no other historian has done before, Bacevich weaves a compelling narrative out of episodes as varied as the Beirut bombing of 1983, the Mogadishu firefight of 1993, the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the rise of ISIS in the present decade. Understanding what America's costly military exertions have wrought requires seeing these seemingly discrete events as parts of a single war. It also requires identifying the errors of judgment made by political leaders in both parties and by senior military officers who share responsibility for what has become a monumental march to folly. This Bacevich unflinchingly does. A twenty-year army veteran who served in Vietnam, Andrew J. Bacevich brings the full weight of his expertise to this vitally important subject. America's War for the Greater Middle East is a bracing after-action report from the front lines of history. It will fundamentally change the way we view America's engagement in the world's most volatile region. Praise for America's War for the Greater Middle East "Bacevich is thought-provoking, profane and fearless. . . . [His] call for Americans to rethink their nation's militarized approach to the Middle East is incisive, urgent and essential."-The New York Times Book Review "Bacevich's magnum opus . . . a deft and rhythmic polemic aimed at America's failures in the Middle East from the end of Jimmy Carter's presidency to the present."-Robert D. Kaplan, The Wall Street Journal "A critical review of American policy and military involvement . . . Those familiar with Bacevich's work will recognize the clarity of expression, the devastating directness and the coruscating wit that characterize the writing of one of the most articulate and incisive living critics of American foreign policy."-The Washington Post "[A] monumental new work."-The Huffington Post "An unparalleled historical tour de force certain to affect the formation of future U.S. foreign policy."-Lieutenant General Paul K. Van Riper, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.)
