Der Streit 羹ber die Trag繹die (Theorien & Psychologische Modelle)
Aus dem Buch: "Aber soll nicht etwa die poetische Gerechtigkeit etwas ganz anderes sein als die sonstige Gerechtigkeit? Gewi?, h繹ren wir sagen, ist sie etwas anderes. Was sie auszeichnet, ist, da? sie nicht blo?e 瓣u?ere Gerechtigkeit ist, sich nicht lediglich in der 瓣u?eren Strafe vorverwirklicht. "Wie gelinde ist die Strafe der DESDEMONA, der CORDELIA f羹r geringe Schuld; wie furchtbar die MACBETHs."-Und inwiefern dies?-"Die Schuld der Naiven kommt kaum zu ihrem Bewu?tsein, Der Zuschauer mu? das Gewissen f羹r sie haben; so f羹r LEAR, ROMEO und JULIA, OTHELLO, DESDEMONA, CORDELIA, OPHELIA." Theodor Lipps (1851-1914) war ein deutscher Philosoph und Psychologe des sp瓣ten 19. Jahrhunderts.

17 Days and 17 Miles Apart
A missing two-cent cotter pin, smaller than a paperclip, can bring down a four-engine airliner and kill hundreds of people. In 1961, only 17 days and 17 miles apart, Trans World Airlines Flight 529 and Northwest Airlines Flight 706 suffered fatal disasters in Illinois. The Lockheed Constellation operated by TWA crashed because of a missing cotter pin, and the Northwest Airlines Lockheed Electra crashed because someone forgot to install a few inches of safety wire. Government officials charged with investigating these crashes reveal why the airlines and their employees took no responsibility for such fatal ineptness. This book tells the story of the ill-fated airliners, how the airlines avoided responsibility, and how the passengers are remembered by next-of-kin after more than 50 years. Readers may discover similarities between the 1961 disasters and the 2019 crashes of two Boeing 737 MAX jetliners that killed 346 people.
The New Romantic Garden
From one of today's leading garden designers, known for her keen eye for colour and modern romanticism, comes a volume that reveals in thirty exquisitely planted gardens dozens of ideas on how to adapt traditional garden design elements for today's more ecologically based aesthetics. Over her thirty-year career, celebrated designer Jo Thompson has become recognised for her timeless planting, well-proportioned, English-style gardens rendered modern by a staunch commitment to biodiversity--to the eye this translates as a looser formality than English gardens of the past, though every bit as romantic. Thompson reminds us that we are never, in complete charge of how our gardens grow; other forces are always at work, as they should be when we allow sustainable practices to help us guide rather than try to dominate nature's own efforts. Hundreds of beautiful colour photos and chapter-by-chapter case studies of individual gardens designed around various themes provide inspiration for all gardeners who want their gardens to feel not merely well planted, but truly alive and atmospheric.

Interiors for a Life in Good Taste
A fresh perspective on classic American interior design and practical advice on living well in our modern world, in this much-anticipated work from a rising decorator. Gidiere's design aesthetic is a modern take on traditional interiors, using contemporary and antique furniture with backdrops of joyful color and pattern to create spaces that are both new and classical--florals, botanical prints, rush baskets, tailored stripes, well-stocked bars, books, and comfort abound. The decorator not only presents her decorating capabilities but also shares her talents as a hostess, giving ideas on how to live and entertain in her inviting rooms. Gidiere's style is sophisticated and charming, taking cues from such accomplished Southern-born designers as Charlotte Moss, Miles Redd, and Celerie Kemble. The book is organized by the ways in which a house is planned and utilized: "Social Life" is centered on entryways, living rooms, and dining rooms--spaces that are designed to receive and welcome others. "Family Life" reviews kitchens, breakfast rooms, dens, and playrooms--places that are the heart and soul of the house. "Private Life" focuses on bedrooms, libraries, and studies--the sanctuaries of our day-to-day existences. "Sweet Life" celebrates how a home can be used for hospitality and entertaining, inside and out. And, "My Life" shows how Gidiere interprets the art of living well in her own home. Each section offers in-depth information on topics that include setting the table, keeping houseplants, stocking the bar, outfitting a guest room, and being party-ready. Gidiere's aesthetic salutes interior design of the past, while interpreting it for our lives today.

Alfredo Paredes at Home
The first book by the interior designer who made his name as chief creative officer for Ralph Lauren--he brought us the legendary Polo Bar and the Madison Avenue flagship store's immersive windows and retail environments, and now he shows us how to fashion our own homes to reflect his signature coolly casual and comfortable look. While touring readers through four of his own homes, Paredes shares the key elements in his creative process, giving us access to the same tools he uses in every home to decorate rooms that feel modern even as they glamorize the past, to show us how an environment has real power to transform our very state of mind. Paredes is renowned for being a master of extrapolating an entire theme from one unique item, say transforming the stripe of a crisp Oxford shirt into a unique upholstery perfect for the seaside, or finding inspiration for a couch's decorative fringe in a well-worn piece of leather ranch gear. He is said to have "perfect visual pitch," creating vignettes and rooms with an energy that feels undeniably masculine and sophisticated thanks to dark wood, iron railings, rustic fabrics, an overall patina, and soft furnishings in soothing earth tones.
