Cultural Writing. Biography. Adelbert Ames, Jr. (1880-1955) was the creator of some of the most memorable scientific demonstrations of the 20th century. He created rooms where small children tower over their parents, demonstrations where playing cards and cigarette packs and matchbooks seem to change size and position in the blink of an eye. These demonstrations, dazzling and delightful as they are, were created with the intent of communicating Ames's serious perceptual theories and philosophical ideas. In this book, W.C. Bamberger traces the life and work of this artist-cum-philosopher and his quest to unite the studies of biology, memory and perception with his idea of "becomingness"-the idea that all of us are in every moment recreating ourselves through every perception and experience we have-a fact that Ames viewed as central to all our lives.

Neuware -Die bewegte Lebensgeschichte eines Heimatlosen zwischen Krieg, Kunst, Wissenschaft und Weltumseglung Als Flüchtling kam Adelbert von Chamisso in den Wirren der französischen Revolution nach Deutschland. Seine Heimat und seine Sprache hatte er verloren - in der Fremdsprache Deutsch begann er zu dichten, erfand die Gestalt des schattenlosen Peter Schlemihl und wurde damit berühmt.Aber damit war er nicht angekommen, im Gegenteil: In einer Zeit, in der selbst die Fahrt zur nächsten Stadt noch ein Abenteuer war, zog es ihn hinaus in die Welt. Als Mitglied einer Forschungsreise auf der Suche nach der legendären Nordostpassage fand er als Naturkundler unbekannte Pflanzenarten und deckte Naturgesetze auf, die noch Darwin beeindruckten. Seinem Schlemihl nicht unähnlich verfasste er glänzende, poetische Berichte über seine dreijährige Weltreise.Matthias Glaubrecht hebt bei seiner detektivischen Spurensuche in Museumssammlungen und in Chamissos Nachlass einen bis heute übersehenen Schatz. In dieser Biographie eines Heimatlosen können wir endlich den ganzen Chamisso entdecken. Er zeigt erstmals in aller Deutlichkeit, wie bei dieser Ausnahmegestalt zugleich Literatur und naturkundliche Erkenntnis entstanden, was Chamisso selbst aus seiner Weltreise machte und was die Nachwelt aus ihm. 688 pp. Deutsch

Nordborg Adelbert Von Deyen - LP 4015698006414

Little Orphan Annie is in trouble again in these two sequences taken from the early years of her long-running comic strip. In the first story, our curly-haired heroine overhears news of the impending arrival of Mrs. Warbucks with her young protégé, snobby Selby Adelbert Piffleberry — known to Annie as “S.A.P.” The inimitable Count de Tour soon follows, and things begin to get sticky for “Daddy” Warbucks. It seems the two houseguests are out to destroy the Warbucks financial empire. In the second story, Annie and her dog Sandy are looking for a new home while “Daddy” Warbucks is away for a year. In Cosmic City, almost everyone is a tight-fisted, orphan-hating meanie, but poor, good-hearted Mr. and Mrs. Futile take Annie and Sandy in. When moneybags Phineas P. Pinchpenny decides to foreclose the mortgage on the Futile home, Annie begins to fight back. Needless to say, in both stories, the good guys are triumphant but — leapin’ lizards! — you know that. These strips first appeared in The Chicago Tribune (and elsewhere) in 1925 and 1932.

Asked which book by another author he would most like to claim as his own work, Italo Calvino once said without hesitation, Adelbert von Chamisso's Peter Schlemiel. First published in 1814, this brilliant novel is not only a precursor of Poe, Kafka, and the magic realists - it is a timeless fable with a remarkably contemporary flavor.When a mysterious man in a gray coat asks Peter Schlemiel if he would sell him his shadow, that "lovely, lovely shadow" of his, he naturally thinks the man must be mad. But then the stranger makes him an offer he can't refuse.In return for his shadow, Schlemiel receives a neverending source of riches, and he is convinced he is on the road to happiness. Yet he finds that without a shadow he is rejected by society and unable to find the fulfillment of love. After a series of fantastic adventures, Peter Schlemiel realizes that he must discover a new way to give his life meaning if he is to go on in the world.Adelbert von Chamisso was born in France, but moved at an early age to Prussia, where he lived during the Franco-Prussian war. Chamisso felt that he belonged equally to both war-torn cultures. Peter Schlemiel was written soon after Prussia's defeat by Napoleon, and was Chamisso's answer to a world in turmoil. The novel was an immediate success, and it catapulted him to international fame.Peter Wortsman's new translation lets us rediscover all the charm wit, and power of this classic tale. In his introduction he gives us the historical background of the novel and traces its influence on the literature of the twentieth century.

The Life of Saint Benedict, by Gregory the Great, with Commentary by Adelbert de Vogue, OSB

Daybreak of Adventure. In the marvel-adventure sagas of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Otis Adelbert Kline, and John Norman, has there ever been a situation such as befell the Earthling who found his way to the world under the Green Star? For while his read body lay crippled and silent under the sun of old Earth, his mind occupied the vigorous body of a young primitive on that alien planet of mighty trees, floating cities, and unmapped limits. And in that guise he had found incredible friends, a royal love, and inhuman and superhuman enemies. But no matter what predicament he was in-and as this book starts he is alone, abandoned on an uncharted sea- his courage never flagged though the greatest of risks would confront him as the Green Star rises.

Includes: Anecdotes from the Last Prussian War, The Beggarwoman of Locarono, and The Story of a Remarkable Single Combat by Heinrich von Kleist; An Unexpected Reunion and Kannitverstan by Johann Peter Hebel; Freidrich de la Motte Fouque's Undine; Adelbert von Chamisso's The Strange Story of Peter Schlemihl; Clemens Brentano's The Story of Good Caspar and Fair Annie; and Joseph von Eichendorff's Memoirs of a Good-for-Nothing.

The author, Adelbert Holl, was a 23-year-old infantry Leutnant when he rejoined his unit in Stalingrad after recovering from wounds he suffered in April 1942. This book records his own experiences as a junior infantry commander during Stalingrad. The infantry bore the most laborious and difficult role during the battle. They were not propelled forward by engines, were not protected by armour-plating. They stood eye to eye with the enemy. That is why this report is so impressive, so enthralling, so stirring. It is sobre, factual, without pathos ­ as written by a front-line soldier. Holl was awarded many medals, including the Wound Badge in Gold, which demonstrates that he had never spared himself from the dangers of combat. This book does not glorify the war: it shows the terrible true face of it. 25 photos, 24 maps, 19 aerial photos, 40 supporting documents
