Neu -Um das Jahr 1835 schuf Carl Graf Vasquez jene Wiener Stadtpläne, die nicht nur wegen ihrer prachtvollen Kolorierung seit Jahrzehnten als begehrte Objekte bei Kunstsinnigen und Sammlern gelten. Was die Stadtpläne von Carl Graf Vasquez über andere Pläne der Biedermeierzeit hinaushebt, waren die jedem Blatt angefügten Randveduten: Es sind künstlerisch anspruchsvolle Vignetten - in der Regel vierzehn an der Zahl -, die die »vorzüglichen Gebäude« des im jeweiligen Plan erfassten Gebietes zeigen. Kirchen und staatliche Bauten stehen hier mit repräsentativen Bürgerhäusern in einer Reihe. Vasquez wählte als Grundeinheit seiner Pläne die Polizeibezirke. 1751 waren jeweils mehrere Vorstädte zu solchen Verwaltungseinheiten zusammengefasst worden, wobei die Einteilung vielfach schon den 1850 geschaffenen Gemeindebezirken entsprach. Der Band enthält eine einmalige Gesamt-Edition der elf Pläne Wiens (Wien mit Vorstädten, Innere Stadt, Leopoldstadt, Landstraße, Wieden, Mariahilf, St. Ulrich, Josefstadt, Alservorstadt, Rossau, Wien 1147), ergänzt mit einem Nachdruck der Karte von Baden bei Wien. Walter Öhlinger, Kurator im Wien Museum, liefert dazu eine detaillierte Beschreibung jedes einzelnen Planes sowie eine exakte Erläuterung der über 170 Randveduten. (Winkler-Hermaden) 54 pp. Deutsch

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERForeword by Barbara KingsolverOver 250 images by acclaimed wildlife photographer Gerrit VynEssays by Jared Diamond, John W. Fitzpatrick, Lyanda Lynn Haupt, and Scott Weidensaul The Living Bird explores the relationship between birds and people through over 250 images by wildlife photographer Gerrit Vyn and thought-provoking essays by some of the world's leading naturalists and bird enthusiasts. The book also marks the 100th anniversary of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, a world leader in the study, appreciation, and conservation of birds. Captured in terrain both exotic and familiar--the Yukon Delta, a woods in Arkansas, a remote village in Russia's Arctic, and even urban Seattle--Vyn's remarkable photographs illustrate nearly 100 North American bird species. The exhilaration of migratory Whooping Cranes, the fragility of the endangered Spoon-Billed Sandpiper, and the wide-eyed beauty of Great Horned Owls all come alive on the page. From enjoying backyard Black-capped Chickadees and Yellow Warblers, to wondering over a Pileated Woodpecker, or to admiring the powerful soar of a Gyrfalcon, The Living Bird educates and inspires."I think maybe everyone needs birds, at least a little." --Barbara Kingsolver, from the Foreword

After long years of studying sources and literature, Werner Haupt presents the military history of one of the larger theaters of World War II. The completion of the history of “Army Group South” is the result of the author’s utilization of all available German and Russian literature, as well as those combat diaries and documents of the committed troop units that are available in German archives. In addition, the author was assisted in clearing up several questions by the advice of former members of the army group – from commanders to drivers. This third and final volume of a three volume set by Werner Haupt includes a volume each on Army Group North, Army Group Center, and now Army Group South. The author served in the German Army as a soldier and officer in the northern sector of the Eastern Front during the Second World War. He is also the author of Assault on Moscow 1941 (available from Schiffer Publishing Ltd.).

In this chilling novel about a 1950s boys' summer camp gone awry, the former New York Times literary critic has created a brilliant coming-of-age story with undertones reminiscent of Lord of the Flies. Christopher Lehmann-Haupt's novel is at once a fantasy, a barbed portrait of boyhood in the dawning of the Eisenhower era, and a no-holds-barred story of terror of the sort that won him praise for his previous novel, A Crooked Man. Jerry Muller has been a regular at Camp Seneca for years. Now that he's a teenager and counselor, things don't seem quite right at his traditional summer haunt. As Jerry plunges into the mysteries around him, he finds himself growing up fast - maybe too fast. He's attracted to T.J., a pretty girl who might have a boyfriend but who flirts anyway, and he's shocked by the truth about his friend Oz, who's more interested in Jerry than in the likes of T.J. He sees something is strangely amiss with the husband and wife who own the camp. But above all, he's scared of the cruel game masterminded by Buck. Of Seneca ancestry, Buck is a sinister, bigger-than-life expert on Indian lore. He is also an organizer of scary games who may just possibly be a psychopath and a killer, and in whose hands the camp's make-believe, designed to scare the kids, becomes first a savage and brutal test of strength, then, by small steps, genuinely dangerous. As Jerry unravels the mysteries surrounding the ordinary-looking camp, he struggles to understand how "the Forbidden Woods" which have always been off-limits to campers as a kind of game and dare, have somehow become genuinely frightening - all the more reason to discover the secrets that lie behind Camp Seneca's facade. The story reaches its climax in a shocking scene that neither Jerry nor the reader is likely to forget. Christopher Lehmann-Haupt's new novel is a wicked, suspenseful, and deeply original tale.

Masons love to depict the Lodge as a charitable organization seeking only to promote brotherhood and good works. But Reginald "Bubba" Haupt, Jr., a Savannah, Georgia attorney, explodes this seductive, carefully crafted fairy tale. In The Gods of the Lodge, Haupt uses the Masonic Lodge's own documents to prove that Freemasonry is not only a secret society but also a pagan religion based on ancient Egyptianism. As such, this pagan religion incorporates all of the Luciferian and kabbalistic rituals, symbols, doctrines, and occult philosophies that were found in ancient Egypt and throughout the Babylonian realm. Discover the structure of Freemasonry and its degrees, the Masonic initiation, the symbolism of Freemasonry, the instituted Mysteries, and Masonry as a religion. As Haupt demonstrates in this unique book, Masonry is incompatible with Christianity, and no true Christian can join or remain a member of the Masonic Lodge. Texe Marrs, best-selling author of Codex Magica: Secret Signs, Mysterious Symbols, and Hidden Codes of the Illuminati and many other books, contributes the foreword for this outstanding book.

Widely acclaimed for giving "an understanding of the connection between Nietzsche’s personal experience and his most famous ideas" (Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times) in her biography of Nietzsche, Nietzsche in Turin, Chamberlain now renders a similar service to readers of Freud. In this book, part biography, part literary criticism, she takes the reader into the mind of Freud, toward a better understanding of the thinker, his work, and art itself. The very idea of the subconcious as a constant, active presence in our daily lives was Freud’s greatest contribution and has allowed generations of people to experience their lives more deeply. His rigorous exploration of the dynamism and structures of the subconscious, Chamberlain argues, was in itself an important work of art. Using Freud’s own writing on art and the aesthetic theories of thinkers ranging from Nietzsche to Lionel Trilling, Chamberlain examines Freud’s art and shows how his imaginative creations have revolutionized not only mental health, but our thinking about art in general, by opening up the individual subconscious as a subject. In elegant, accessible prose she describes how "Freud split the aesthetic atom, releasing a vast energy for individual creativity."

Spy fiction its best: A mission of revenge, a haunting love story, and a chilling tale -- in the definitive novel of the end of the Cold War. Celebrated for his "palm-sweating tension" (Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times) and "rare insight" (Cleveland Plain Dealer), Gerald Seymour has scored bull's-eye after bull's-eye with readers and critics. Now, crackling with suspense and finely realized characters, Dead Ground floodlights an East German Stasi as chilling at the collapse of the Communist world as it was throughout its reign of terror. One frozen night, Tracy Barnes witnesses the killing of her lover by the secret police. Years later, when the Wall has crumbled and old enemies have become new friends, Tracy encounters the murderer and plans to make him pay. But in a country still at war with itself, Tracy finds that she is being played as a pawn in a far bigger game of revenge that reaches all the way to Moscow. In Dead Ground, exposing some uncomfortable truths behind one of recent history's most important political transitions, Gerald Seymour shows himself to be a truly unique talent.

By focusing mostly on the birds Charles Darwin observed, and by brilliantly mining his lesser-known writings, Haupt pens a startlingly fresh exploration of the man's genius that invites readers to look at the world with new eyes.

This captivating book pays homage to the powerful sense of connection that we earthbound creatures have for those that soar. Lyanda Lynn Haupt, an ornithological researcher and birding teacher, beautifully describes the wide-eyed wonder found observing birds. She muses on the much-tarnished reputation of the starling, the sexed-up behavior of male woodpeckers that drives homeowners crazy, and the population explosion of crows in Northwest urban neighborhoods. This notable debut by a talented writer reveals a deft touch, sly humor, and an engaging ability to share her bountiful knowledge of things ornithological.
