        Empires of light

        Vision, visibility and power in colonial India

        by Niharika Dinkar

        Light was central to the visual politics and imaginative geographies of empire, even beyond its role as a symbol of knowledge and progress in post-Enlightenment narratives. This book describes how imperial mappings of geographical space in terms of 'cities of light' and 'hearts of darkness' coincided with the industrialisation of light (in homes, streets, theatres) and its instrumentalisation through new representative forms (photography, film, magic lanterns, theatrical lighting). Cataloguing the imperial vision in its engagement with colonial India, the book evaluates responses by the celebrated Indian painter Ravi Varma (1848-1906) to reveal the centrality of light in technologies of vision, not merely as an ideological effect but as a material presence that produces spaces and inscribes bodies.

        Linn’s Light

        Ein Mutmach-Buch für Kinder mit einer Depression

        by Mira Rzany, Leonie Heindel, Lukas Maelger, Alina Senßfelder

        Linn lives in the land of lights. Everyone who lives there carries a light within them that changes color depending on how he/she feels. Lately, Linn’s parents have been arguing a lot and her school grades are going down. Linn goes out less and less, and she spends a lot of time alone in her room. Her inner light is almost always only grey. She can also no longer see all the beautiful colors. With the help of her teacher, her parents, Mr. Fire-Eater and her friend, Linn gradually manages to take off the grey cloak. This means there are once again days when the light shines very brightly within her and she can feel all the colors clearly. This book aims to help children affected by depression understand their current situation. It shows them they are not alone and how they can overcome their depression. The book provides important information on this topic for children, their parents, siblings, and therapists as well as practical tasks and exercises. For:• children of elementary school age(between 6 and 12) who suffer fromdepression• parents• relatives• therapists

        Film light

        Meaning and emotion

        by Lara Thompson

        In one of the first monographs of its kind to focus on the aesthetic and emotional impact of lighting in cinema, Lara Thompson looks at the way light informs the cinematic experience, from constructing star identities, sculpting natural light and creating imaginary worlds, to the seductive power of darkness, fading representations of the past and arresting twilight encounters. This groundbreaking and accessible introductory study offers a unique insight into the way illumination has transcended its diffuse functional boundaries and been elevated to a position of narrative and emotional importance, transforming it from an unobtrusive element of film style to an expressive and essential component. It includes analyses of over fifty renowned international films, discussed in inventive and illuminating combinations, from cinema's earliest moments to its most recent digital manifestations, and is essential reading for all those who want to understand what film light means and how it makes us feel. ;

        Eternal light and earthly concerns

        Belief and the shaping of medieval society

        by Paul Fouracre

        In early Christianity it was established that every church should have a light burning on the altar at all times. In this unique study, Eternal light and earthly concerns, looks at the material and social consequences of maintaining these 'eternal' lights. It investigates how the cost of lighting was met across western Europe throughout the whole of the Middle Ages, revealing the social organisation that was built up around maintaining the lights in the belief that burning them reduced the time spent in Purgatory. When that belief collapsed in the Reformation the eternal lights were summarily extinguished. The history of the lights thus offers not only a new account of change in medieval Europe, but also a sustained examination of the relationship between materiality and belief.

        by Fe Strack, Xiaying Lin, Martina Schlegl

        Jojo and his best friend Charly’s class often do silly things, and then something goes wrong. But nobody would have thought that things could also go wrong in someone’s head. However, everything suddenly changes when Jojo falls over in phys ed and has to go to the hospital. Jojo seems to be afraid of school and then the others make fun of him. Jojo explains to Charly that he has an illness called epilepsy. This means that lots of nerve cells in the brain are silly in the same way all at once – so that, for a short time, some things don’t work for him like they should. Their classmates must be able to understand that, Charly thinks. And then Charly and Jojo have a brilliant idea. This story aims to help children affected by epilepsy to understand their condition better, and should help accompanying adults to explain the different forms of epilepsy in a way that is appropriate for children. For:• children of elementary school age(between 6 and 12 years) who sufferfrom epilepsy• parents and relatives• therapists

        The making of the Irish poor law, 1815–43

        None

        by Peter Gray

        The making of the Irish poor law, 1815-43 examines the debates preceding and surrounding the 1838 act on the nature of Irish poverty and the responsibilities of society towards it. It traces the various campaigns for a poor law from the later eighteenth century. The nature and internal frictions of the great Irish poor inquiry of 1833-36 are analysed, along with the policy recommendations made by its chair, Archbishop Whately. It considers the aims and limitations of the government's measure and the public reaction to it in Ireland and Britain. Finally, it describes the implementation of the Poor Law between 1838 and 1843 under the controversial direction of George Nicholls. It will be of particular importance to those with a serious interest in the history of social welfare, of Irish social thought and politics, and of British governance in Ireland in the early nineteenth century. ;

        Empty Mind

        by John Cage, Marie Luise Knott, Walter Zimmermann

        »In welchem Käfig man sich auch befindet, man muß ihn verlassen«, lautete das Credo von John Cage (1912 bis 1992), dem international bekanntesten experimentellen Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Weniger bekannt ist sein literarisches Werk, das gleichberechtigt neben dem musikalischen steht. Cage ließ sich von Erik Satie, Robert Rauschenberg, James Joyce, Merce Cunningham und Marcel Duchamp inspirieren − verwandten Geistern, mit denen er Zeit seines Lebens täglich umging. Indem er seine poetisch-philosphischen Versuche musikalischen Verfahren unterwarf, verwandelte er Vorträge über das Komponieren, über den Zufall oder die Kategorie der Unbestimmtheit in Ereignisse, schwebend, der Festlegung entzogen – nicht anders als die Musik der Absichtslosigkeit, von der er träumte. John Cage als Wortkünstler harrt hierzulande noch der Entdeckung. »Empty Mind« versammelt eine Auswahl poetischer Schlüsseltexte, an denen sich die unerschöpfliche Freude, neue Wege zu gehen, Grenzen zu überschreiten, ablesen läßt. Eine Freude, die ansteckend wirkt − auch auf all jene, die sich noch nie mit seinem Werk beschäftigt haben.

        A Healthy Pregnancy with Selected (Micro)Nutrients

        by Uwe Gröber

        Adequate nutrition and a healthy lifestyle – before and during pregnancy - are of great importance for a trouble-free pregnancy, birth, and the subsequent development of the child. Since the nutritional status before the onset of pregnancy influences both fertility and the course of pregnancy, including complications, the birth and breastfeeding, close attention should be paid to a healthy diet and adequate supply of essential (micro)nutrients well in advance and not only at the family planning stage. Poor micronutrient status prior to conception is often carried over into pregnancy, and can significantly increase the risk of pregnancy complications and, for example, lead to the dreaded spina bifida in the child. This patient guide tells you what you need to know! Various micronutrients are described in detail. Special emphasis is placed on the latest study results concerning pregnancy and nutrition.
