    Warhol
    Die definitive BiographieAndy Warhol ist der bekannteste Künstler der Pop-Art. Seine knallbunten Bildserien von Suppendosen, Bananen oder Hollywood-Stars wie Marilyn Monroe sind bis heute stilprägend, die Gemeinde aus Musen, Celebritys, Drag Queens und Intellektuellen, mit denen er sich in seiner New Yorker »Factory« umgab, ist legendär. In seiner monumentalen Biografie taucht Blake Gopnik tief in das Leben dieser ebenso radikalen wie rätselhaften Kunstfigur ein. Eindrucksvoll zeigt er, wie Warhol nicht nur in seinem Werk die Trennung zwischen Kunst und Leben auflöste und dadurch die Kunstwelt ebenso nachhaltig faszinierte wie revolutionierte. Eine akribisch recherchierte und umfassende Biographie einer der schillerndsten Gestalten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit zahlreichen Abbildungen.Ausstattung: mit zahlreichen Abbildungen

    Secret Ingredients: The New Yorker Book of Food and Drink , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1497min
    Since its earliest days, The New Yorker has been a tastemaker - literally. As the home of A. J. Liebling, Joseph Wechsberg, and M. F. K. Fisher, who practically invented American food writing, the magazine established a tradition that is carried forward today by irrepressible literary gastronomes including Calvin Trillin, Bill Buford, Adam Gopnik, Jane Kramer, and Anthony Bourdain. Now, in this indispensable collection, The New Yorker dishes up a feast of delicious writing on food and drink, from every age of its fabled 80-year history. There are memoirs, short stories, tell-alls, and poems - ranging in tone from sweet to sour and in subject from soup to nuts. M. F. K. Fisher pays homage to “cookery witches,” those mysterious cooks who possess “an uncanny power over food,” while John McPhee valiantly trails an inveterate forager and is rewarded with stewed persimmons and white-pine-needle tea. There is Roald Dahl’s famous story “Taste,” in which a wine snob’s palate comes in for some unwelcome scrutiny, and Julian Barnes’s ingenious tale of a lifelong gourmand who goes on a very peculiar diet for still more peculiar reasons. Adam Gopnik asks if French cuisine is done for, and Calvin Trillin investigates whether people can actually taste the difference between red wine and white. We journey with Susan Orlean as she distills the essence of Cuba in the story of a single restaurant, and with Judith Thurman as she investigates the arcane practices of Japan’s tofu masters. Closer to home, Joseph Mitchell celebrates the old New York tradition of the beefsteak dinner, and Mark Singer shadows the city’s foremost fisherman-chef. Selected from the magazine’s plentiful larder, Secret Ingredients celebrates all forms of gustatory delight.  ungekürzt.

    We Are All Stardust: Scientists Who Shaped Our World Talk about Their Work, Their Lives, and What They Still Want to Know , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 525min
    A sterling roster of natural and social scientists in conversation with top-flight journalist Stefan Klein - shedding new light on their work, their lives, and what they still hope to discover. When acclaimed science writer Stefan Klein asks Nobel Prize-winning chemist Roald Hoffmann what sets scientists apart, Hoffmann says, "First and foremost, curiosity." In this collection of intimate conversations with 19 of the world's best-known scientists (including three Nobel Laureates), Klein lets us listen in as today's leading minds reveal what they still hope to discover - and how their paradigm-changing work entwines with their lives outside the lab. From the sports car that physicist Steven Weinberg says helped him on his quest for "the theory of everything" to the jazz musicians who gave psychologist Alison Gopnik new insight into raising children, these scientists explain how they find inspiration everywhere. Hear from renowned scientists including: evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins on selfishness, anthropologist Sarah Hrdy on motherhood, primatologist Jane Goodall on animal behavior, neuroscientist V. S. Ramachandran on consciousness, geographer Jared Diamond on chance in history, and many other luminaries. ungekürzt. Language: English.
