These two richly illustrated volumes present Riemenschneider at the height of his creative power, and provide a comprehensive view of his life and work. One of the few artists to master both stone and wood, he attracted a wide variety of people to his studio, and the books discuss these artists and their works as well. One of the most important sculptors of the Middle Ages, Riemenschneider and his works are brought back to vivid life in this new, comprehensive survey of his work.

"The sculpture of Tilman Riemenschneider stands solidly anchored in the late Gothic tradition, while it also reflects emerging humanist concerns. Riemenschneider, who was active in Wurzburg from around 1483 until 1531, was one of the first sculptors to abandon polychromy on occasion, making a conscious aesthetic decision to leave visible his favored material, limewood. His sculpture strikes a rare balance between formal elegance and expressive strength, and it is among the most appealing work of the late Middle Ages."--BOOK JACKET. "The approximately fifty works documented in this handsome volume offer a fresh look at this great master. The book presents a broad survey of Riemenschneider's oeuvre, including representative work from all periods of his career. Contributors explore the sources for his art, his social milieu and the organization of his workshop, the critical reception of his work, his polychrome and monochrome sculpture."--BOOK JACKET.

Making use of unpublished diaries, journals, and extensive correspondence, the extraordinary story of two British mountaineers who single-handedly mapped out much of the Himalayas—including Everest—and the mountains of Africa In the 1930s, Tilman and the younger Shipton pioneered many routes in Africa and the Himalayas and found the key to unlocking Everest. They crossed Africa by bicycle, explored China with Spender and Auden, journeyed down the Oxus River to its source and, with no support, opened up much of the Nepalese Himalaya. In the words of Jim Perrin, "The journeys of discovery undertaken through two decades by this pair of venturesome ragamuffins are unparallelled in the annals of mountain exploration." This is a fresh and original portrait of one of the greatest exploring partnerships in history, and of the quirky, humorous friendship that underpinned it.

Using unpublished diaries, Jim Perrin, the acclaimed author of The Villain and Menlove, tells the story of the greatest exploring partnership in British history. In the 1930s Tilman and the younger Shipton pioneered many routes in Africa and the Himalayas and found the key to unlock Everest. They crossed Africa by bicycle, explored China with Spender and Auden, journeyed down the Oxus River to its source and with no support opened up much of the Nepalese Himalaya. In the words of Jim Perrin, 'The journeys of discovery undertaken through two decades by this pair of venturesome ragamuffins are unparallelled in the annals of mountain exploration.' Jim Perrin writes of his source-material: 'These unpublished diaries, journals, and extensive correspondence have not previously been used to present a portrait of the most productive friendship in the history of mountain exploration. What they reveal is, in Shipton's phrase, "a random harvest of delight" gathered by two uniquely bold and engaging characters from the great mountain ranges of the world during the golden era of their first western exploration. Between geographical excitement, the nature of arduous travel in difficult and uncharted terrain throughout a lost epoch, and the quirkiest and most stimulating of friendships, the theme is a gift, and one that has long been waiting for adequate treatment'.

*Tilman (on reaching the summit of Nanda Devi): "I believe we so far forgot ourselves as to shake hands on it." * Tilman (after arduous and ultimately unsuccessful attempts on two peaks in Central Asia, and his arrest as a spy): "as I turned to go down into Chitrail, tired, lousy, and bereft of my diaries, I felt that the year had at any rate been rich in instruction."The W. L. Gore Shipton/Tilman Grant is named for Tilman, and his climbing companion, Eric Shipton, but too few Americans are aware of Tilman's remarkable gift for writing. This economically-priced paperbound includes: Snow on the Equator, The Ascent of Nanda Devi, When Men and Mountains Meet, Everest 1938, Two Mountains and a River, China to Chitral and Nepal Himalaya.H. W. Tilman's belief was "any worthwhile expedition can be planned on the back of an envelope." He wrote fifteen mountaineering and sailing books.

Biography of the sailor, mountaineer, and adventurer, called perhaps the greatest explorer of the twentieth century.

A splendid biography of this very remarkable man, giving us not only the high adventures, vividly described, but also the man himself in his strange complexity. In addition to all else, Tilman was an almost compulsive letter writer, and in his letters - from which the author quotes generously - he came closest to self-revelation. In every way an absorbing book.

Harold William 'Bill' Tilman (1898-1977) was among the greatest adventurers of his time, a pioneering mountaineer and navigator who held exploration above all else. The son of a Liverpool sugar importer, Tilman joined the army at seventeen and was twice awarded the Military Cross for bravery during WWI. After the war Tilman left for Africa, establishing himself as a coffee grower. He met Eric Shipton and they began their famed mountaineering partnership, traversing Mount Kenya and climbing Kilimanjaro . Turning to the Himalaya , Tilman went on two Mount Everest expeditions, reaching 27,000 feet without oxygen in 1938. In 1936 he made the first ascent of Nanda Devi , the highest mountain climbed until 1950. He was the first European to climb in the remote Assam Himalaya , delved into Afghanistan's Wakhan Corridor and explored extensively in Nepal, all the while developing a mountaineering style characterised by its simplicity and emphasis on exploration. It was perhaps logical that Tilman would eventually buy the pilot cutter Mischief , not with the intention of retiring from travelling, but to access remote mountains. For twenty-two years he sailed Mischief and her successors in search of them-to Patagonia , where he made the first easterly crossing of the ice cap, to Baffin Island to make the first ascent of Mount Raleigh , to Greenland , Spitsbergen , and islands in the far Southern Ocean, before disappearing in the South Atlantic in 1977. J.R.L. Anderson 's High Mountains and Cold Seas draws on a wealth of personal correspondence between Tilman-a compulsive letter writer and his immediate family and close friends, crafting the first detailed account of the extraordinary life of this remarkable but very private individual.

Melbourne composer Tilman Robinson delivers his second full-length in a haze of distortion and hypnotic layers. 'Deer Heart', his debut for Australian label Hobbledehoy Record Co., integrates ethereal multi-instrumental resonance, dynamic percussion and fastidious production in telling a story that spans three continents.

One of the central questions of ecology is why there are so many different kinds of plants and animals. Here David Tilman presents a theory of how organisms compete for resources and the way their competition promotes diversity. Developing Hutchinson's suggestion that the main cause of diversity is the feeding relations of species, this book builds a mechanistic, resource-based explanation of the structure and functioning of ecological communities. In a detailed analysis of the Park Grass Experiments at the Rothamsted Experimental Station in England, the author demonstrates that the dramatic results of these 120 years of experimentation are consistent with his theory, as are observations in many other natural communities.The consumer-resource approach of this book is applicable to both animal and plant communities, but the majority of Professor Tilman's discussion concentrates on the structure of plant communities. All theoretical arguments are developed graphically, and formal mathematics is kept to a minimum. The final chapters of the book provide some testable speculations about resources and animal communities and explore such problems as the evolution of "super species," the differences between plant and animal community diversity patterns, and the cause of plant succession.

8MM Musik presents the self-titled debut LP by Berlin garage and psych-rock natives Dyn (pronounced Dine). The duo of multi-instrumentalists Tilman Kettner (drums, vocals) and Carl Heine (guitar, bass organ, vocals) teamed up with engineer and producer Fabien Lesiure (The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Dirty Beaches) to record the nine-song album in a manner true to the band's lo-fi/high intensity dynamic. Kettner pounds out the beat while belting out his lyrics about love, lust, and misadventure; He

A strikingly original investigation of the origins and dissemination of the world's most infamous greeting Sometimes the smallest detail reveals the most about a culture. In Heil Hitler: The History of a Gesture, sociologist Tilman Allert uses the Nazi transformation of the most mundane human interaction--the greeting--to show how National Socialism brought about the submission and conformity of a whole society.Made compulsory in 1933, the Hitler salute developed into a daily reflex in a matter of mere months, and quickly became the norm in schools, at work, among friends, and even at home. Adults denounced neighbors who refused to raise their arms, and children were given tiny Hitler dolls with movable right arms so they could practice the pernicious salute. The constantly reiterated declaration of loyalty at once controlled public transactions and fractured personal relationships. And always, the greeting sacralized Hitler, investing him and his regime with a divine aura.The first examination of a phenomenon whose significance has long been underestimated, Heil Hitler offers new insight into how the Third Reich's rituals of consent paved the way for the wholesale erosion of social morality.
