Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Timeless in their wisdom, thought-provoking in their message, surprising in their truth and memorable in their originality, the right words can give direction, inspiration, and sometimes a tangible boost onto the right path. For example, Steve Jobs once read "Stay hungry Stay foolish" on the back cover of The Whole Earth Catalog, and those four words came to guide his life. Created by Kathryn and Ross Petras, connoisseurs of quotes, whose books and calendars have over 56 million copies in print, "Dance First. Think Later." is a collection of the greatest life wisdom from an unexpected group of speakers, doers, and thinkers. There are 618 rules to live by-funny, sly, declarative, thoughtful, offhanded, clever, and always profound: "Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places." -Roald Dahl "If everything is under control, you are going too slow." -Mario Andretti "Never make a credit decision on a beach."-Victor J. Boschini "Dance first. Think later. It's the natural order."-Samuel Beckett "The only time to eat diet food is while waiting for the steak to cook." -Julia Child "What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight; build it anyway." -Mother Teresa And: "Be yourself.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Told by one of our greatest chroniclers of technology and society, the definitive biography of iconic serial visionary Stewart Brand, from the Merry Pranksters and the generation-defining Whole Earth Catalog to the marriage of environmental consciousness and hacker capitalism and the rise of a new planetary culture the story behind so many other storiesStewart Brand has long been famous if you know who he is, but for many people outside the counterculture, early computing, or the environmental movement, he is perhaps best known for his famous mantra Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. Steve Jobs s endorsement of these words as his code to live by is fitting; Brand has played many roles, but one of the most important is as a model for how to live.The contradictions are striking: A blond-haired WASP with a modest family inheritance, Brand went to Exeter and Stanford and was an army veteran, but in California in the 1960s he became an artist and a photographer in the thick of the LSD revolution. While tripping on acid on the roof of his building, he envisioned how valuable it would be for humans to see a photograph of the planet they shared from space, an image that in the end landed on the cover of his Whole Earth Catalog, the defining publication of the counterculture. He married a Native American woman and was committed to protecting indigenous culture, which connected to a broader environmentalist mission that has been a through line of his life. At the same time, he has outraged purists because of his pragmatic embrace of useful technologies, including nuclear power, in the fight against climate change. The famous tagline promise of his catalog was Access to Tools ; with rare exceptions he rejected politics for a focus on direct power. It was no wonder, then, that he was early to the promise of the computer revolution and helped define it for the wider world.Brand's life can be hard to fit onto one screen. John Markoff, also a great chronicler of tech culture, has done something extraordinary in unfolding the rich, twisting story of Brand s life against its proper landscape. As Markoff makes marvelously clear, the streams of individualism, respect for science, environmentalism, and Eastern and indigenous thought that flow through Brand s entire life form a powerful gestalt, a California state of mind that has a hegemonic power to this day. His way of thinking embraces a true planetary consciousness that may be the best hope we humans collectively have.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Der US-amerikanische Physiker Gerard K. O'Neill hatte Anfang der 1970er Jahre erste Ideen entwickelt, um den Weltraum zu besiedeln. Kurz darauf griff Stewart Brand, Cyberkommunarde und Herausgeber des Whole Earth Catalog, diese Überlegungen auf und veröffentlichte das Buch Space Colonies. Darin und in weiteren Ausgaben des CoEvolution Quarterly wurde diskutiert, ob der Weltraum nicht schon im Jahr 2000 kolonialisiert sein könnte. Space Colonies. A Galactic Freeman's Journal von Fabian Reimann bezieht sich auf diese Veröffentlichungen. In seinen Bildessays montiert er historisches, gegenwärtiges und spekulatives Material, das er mit fiktiven und faktischen Erzählungen zu einem Konglomerat verschiedener Weltentwürfe verbindet.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Enrique Vila-Matas, Olivia Sudjic, Jon Fosse, Inger Wold Lund, Vi Khi Nao, Patrícia Portela, Lucie Elven, Mara Coson, Christina Hesselholdt, Jean-Baptiste Del Amo, Naja Marie Aidt, Michael Salu, Joanna Walsh, Jakuta Alikavazovic, Anna Zett, Emilio Fraia, Frode Grytten, and Olga Ravn Translations by Margaret Jull Costa, Zoë Perry, Martin Aitken, Denise Newman, Paul Russell Garrett, Damion Searls, and Rahul Bery Eighteen international writers respond to the open-ended period of social distancing, closures, and illness caused by Covid-19. Compiled during the initial lockdown in Europe, this special collection is a meteoric publishing project with contributions from some of the most exciting and innovative authors working today. Meditating on notions of distance and closeness, sameness and alterity, extinguishing and kindling, Tools for Extinction considers how a common pause might give rise to new modes of domesticity and shift experiences of time. What gestures and actions are we willing to perform to make ourselves, and each other, feel at ease - or at work What tools and objects are useful, or unprecedentedly useless, to us in the process And as our species' trademark proclivity for projecting ourselves into the future is disrupted, might we come to see the buildings, animals, plants, and foodstuffs around us in a new light The anthology takes its name from Steven Brand's Whole Earth Catalog, a 1960s counterculture compendium of product reviews, essays, and articles on the themes of self-sufficiency, ecology, and alternative education. By giving 'access to tools', a new social order and a more sustainable Earth was imagined. Compiled, edited and with a foreword by Denise Rose Hansen.

Zustand: Sehr gut. 2. Aufl. Einband berieben. - Dieses Buch beschreibt eine Reise, die ich durch eine ungemein schöne und noch immer ziemlich unbekannte Welt unternommen habe: durch die musikalischen Landschaften der ganzen Erde. Ich begann diese Reise vor etlichen Jahren, und sie wird bis an mein Lebensende andauern. Auch andere haben diese Reise unternommen, jedoch viel zu wenige von uns. Wir neigen zu sehr dazu, uns allzu bequem in den vier Wänden unserer jeweiligen Kultur einzurichten. Zum einen ist dieses Buch eine Art Journal - ein Notizbuch, das meine eigenen Erfahrungen als ausübender Musiker (in indischer Musik), als Komponist (in westlicher Musik) und als Wissenschaftler (in Musikethnologie) enthält. Wenn nun andere meine Beobachtungen, Erfahrungen und Vorstellungen kennenlernen, so hoffe ich, daß sie dadurch zu eigenen Forschungsabenteuern in Sachen "Weltmusik" ermuntert werden. Zum anderen soll dieses Buch eine Art "Whole Earth Catalog of World Music" sein - randvoll mit Informationen über Instrumente, Mythen, Bedeutungen, Verfahrensweisen, Klanggestalten, Denkmuster, grundlegende Arbeitsmethoden, Konzepte musikalischer Architektur, Rhythmus, Melodie, Harmonie, Polyphonie, Ensembles, Orchester. ISBN 3807702490 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 IX, 372 S. Zahlr. Ill., gebundene Ausgabe.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For anyone who has wondered what it was like to live on the prairies of the United States in the early 1900s, here is your answer. This is not just a memoir, but a history. Phyllis Mitchell was born in Nebraska in 1921 and grew up on prairie farms where her parents were sharecroppers. Phyllis and her five siblings worked alongside her parents, as the family lived off the land without electricity or plumbing. Despite dealing with The Great Depression, The Dust Bowl, locusts, floods, illnesses, accidents, and even a frightening tornado, they all managed to not just exist but thrive. Phyllis's two older brothers were constantly coming up with clever schemes, while her older sister seemed to always be on horseback, helping out in the fields. Phyllis's two younger sisters at times needed guidance and protection. This includes the one who wouldn't get out of bed until she was assured that her father had built a 'ro-ri-un fi-re' that would warm the kitchen. They all rode horses to one-room school houses. And, in a horse-drawn wagon, they occasionally traveled to the nearest town to trade cream and eggs for other commodities. Her brothers also sold watermelons and skunk pelts. With their father, the children grubbed trees, riding on the bigger trees as they bounced to earth after being cut down. At home, Phyllis learned from her mother how to cook and sew, skills which came in handy when she was hired by nearby families to serve at times as a live-in domestic helper. Here she observed how wealthier families lived. Meanwhile, she excelled at school where she prepared to be a teacher. Although the book focuses on her childhood, we also see Phyllis as she begins teaching in the same kinds of prairie schools that she once had attended. As a teacher, she exercised her same resourcefulness and creativity. During World War II, she helped the war effort by becoming a telegraph operator and station manager, surprisingly challenging and, at times, dangerous jobs. The book ends with her unusually impromptu wedding to the man who, as a high schooler, had 'tormented' her in high school band. Part Little House on the Prairie, part Whole Earth Catalog, this memoir combines a compelling personal narrative with delightful explanations of the early technologies that allowed a farming family to eke out an existence in the face of daunting obstacles.
