› Find signed collectible books: 'Imperien: Die Logik Der Weltherrschaft Vom Alten Rom Bis Zu Den Vereinigten Staaten'
Spätestens mit dem Ende der Sowjetunion schien die Zeit der Imperien endgültig zu Ende. In der globalsierten Welt sei, so die weit verbreitete Einschätzung, für eine imperiale Machtentfaltung angesichts der ebenso vielfältigen wie komplexen Abhängigkeiten zwischen den Staaten kein Raum mehr. Zudem war man mehrheitlich der Überzeugung, imperiale Politik zu betreiben, liege eigentlich auch in keines Staates Interesse. Spätestens angesichts der weltpolitischen Alleingänge der USA jedoch, die zuletzt ein ums andere Mal auch Verbündete mit weit gespannten Machtansprüchen und Gefolgschaftserwartungen brüskierten, hat man begonnen, diese Einschätzung zu revidieren. In den USA und auch anderswo mehren sich die Stimmen, die fordern, Amerika solle seine Rolle als Imperium nicht nur nicht länger leugnen, sondern sie zum eigenen und zum Wohle der Welt offensiv gestalten.
All dies ruft Herfried Münkler uns in Erinnerung und zeigt sogleich, woran es bei der Diskussion heute zumeist hapert. So bestehen über Begriff und Wesen des Imperiums sowie den möglichen Sinn und Nutzen imperialer Politik bei den Diskutanten und Autoren häufig enorme Unsicherheiten. Begriffe wie Imperialismus und Hegemonie werden nur selten hinreichend trennscharf differenziert, Missverständnisse sind deshalb an der Tagesordnung. Der "wandelnde Ein-Mann-Think-Tank", als den Die Zeit den Politikwissenschaftler von der Berliner Humboldt-Universität einmal bezeichnet hat, sortiert in Imperien deshalb zunächst zu Recht sehr ausführlich das entsprechende Begriffsfeld. Sodann zeichnet er eine prägnante Typologie imperialer Herrschaft und analysiert an den historischen Beispielen die Aufgaben imperialer Ordnung und führt uns vor Augen, worin die Ursachen für das häufige "Scheitern der Imperien an der Macht der Schwachen" zu suchen sind.
Ein ausgesprochen lesenswerter Band für all jene, die statt an wohlfeilen Allgemeinplätzen, wie sie in der Diskussion um das amerikanische Imperium heute an der Tagesordnung sind, an historisch und theoretisch fundierter Information und Analyse interessiert sind. -- Andreas Vierecke [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Ambassadors'
The Ambassadors, which Henry James considered his best work, is the most exquisite refinement of his favorite theme: the collision of American innocence with European experience. This time, James recounts the continental journey of Louis Lambert Strether--a fiftysomething man of the world who has been dispatched abroad by a rich widow, Mrs. Newsome. His mission: to save her son Chadwick from the clutches of a wicked (i.e., European) woman, and to convince the prodigal to return to Woollett, Massachusetts. Instead, this all-American envoy finds Europe growing on him. Strether also becomes involved in a very Jamesian "relation" with the fascinating Miss Maria Gostrey, a fellow American and informal Sacajawea to her compatriots. Clearly Paris has "improved" Chad beyond recognition, and convincing him to return to the U.S. is going to be a very, very hard sell. Suspense, of course, is hardly James's stock-in-trade. But there is no more meticulous mapper of tone and atmosphere, nuance and implication. His hyper-refined characters are at their best in dialogue, particularly when they're exchanging morsels of gossip. Astute, funny, and relentlessly intelligent, James amply fulfills his own description of the novelist as a person upon whom nothing is lost. --Rhian Ellis [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Candida Hofer Libraries'
For almost 30 years Candida Höfer has photographed interiors, mostly representational spaces accessible to the public, such as staircases, lobbies, reading halls or exhibition spaces. Rather than staging them, she takes their picture in the state she finds them, with great discreetness and a touch of humour.
Libraries are a book producers dream. Since nobody photographs libraries as beautifully as Höfer, it seemed only natural for Schirmer/Mosel to dedicate her next publication to the splendid and intimate cathedrals of knowledge across Europe and the US: the Escorial in Spain, the Whitney Museum in New York, Villa Medici in Rome, the Hamburg University library, the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris, the Museo Archeologico in Madrid, and Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, to name just a few. Almost completely devoid of people, as is Candida Höfers trademark, these pictures radiate a comforting serenity that is exceptional in contemporary photography. [via]

Frankenstein, loved by many decades of readers and praised by such eminent literary critics as Harold Bloom, seems hardly to need a recommendation. If you haven't read it recently, though, you may not remember the sweeping force of the prose, the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multilayered doppelgänger themes of Mary Shelley's masterpiece. As fantasy writer Jane Yolen writes of this (the reviewer's favorite) edition, "The strong black and whites of the main text [illustrations] are dark and brooding, with unremitting shadows and stark contrasts. But the central conversation with the monster--who owes nothing to the overused movie image & but is rather the novel's charnel-house composite--is where [Barry] Moser's illustrations show their greatest power ... The viewer can all but smell the powerful stench of the monster's breath as its words spill out across the page. Strong book-making for one of the world's strongest and most remarkable books." Includes an illuminating afterword by Joyce Carol Oates. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Moby-Dick'
Well over a century after its publication, "Moby-Dick" still stands as an indisputable literary classic. It is the story of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopedia of whaling lore and legend, "Moby-Dick" is a haunting, mesmerizing, and important social commentary populated with several of the most unforgettable and enduring characters in literature. Written with wonderfully redemptive humor, "Moby- Dick" is a profound and timeless inquiry into character, faith, and the nature of perception. @greatwhitetale Call me Ishmael. You could call me something else if you want, but since that's my name, it would make sense to call me Ishmael. Captain obsessed with finding a whale called Moby Dick.

In the 11 days following the Chernobyl catastrophe on April 26, 1986, more than 116,000 people were permanently evacuated from the area surrounding the nuclear power plant. Declared unfit for human habitation, the Zones of Exclusion includes the towns of Pripyat (established in the 1970s to house workers) and Chernobyl. In May 2001, Robert Polidori photographed what was left behind in the this dead zone. His richly detailed images move from the burned-out control room of Reactor 4, where technicians staged the experiment that caused the disaster, to the unfinished apartment complexes, ransacked schools and abandoned nurseries that remain as evidence of those who once called Pripyat home. Nearby, trucks and tanks used in the cleanup efforts rest in an auto graveyard, some covered in lead shrouds and others robbed of parts. Houseboats and barges rust in the contaminated waters of the Pripyat River. Foliage grows over the sidewalks and hides the modest homes of Chernobyl. In his large-scale photographs, Polidori captures the faded colors and desolate atmosphere of these two towns, producing haunting documents that present the reader with a rare view of not just a disastrous event, but a place and the people who lived there.

Hier kommt es, dass metallic feeling - cooler geht's einfach nicht mehr. Nur, wie kommt der Sex ins Metall? Der Japaner hat Hajime Sorayama bringt die Haut fein säuberlich mit Bleistift und Pinsel zum Prickeln. Verführerisch räkeln sich seine Sexy Robots und Pin-Ups dem Betrachter entgegen, aber Vorsicht, nicht anfassen! Kälteschocks und Stromschläge werden einem durch den Körper gejagt bei unvorsichtigen Annäherungsversuchen. Diese Schönen haben nämlich im buchstäblichen Sinne eine Seele aus Stahl, ihr Herz schlägt im Takt eines voll elektronischen Zeitalters, und in ihren Köpfen spiegelt sich die Leere von Maschinenhallen. Ich bin böse, ich bin perfekt, und ich will dich, scheinen diese futuristischen Wesen zu sagen. Nur wird man sich ihnen niemals nähern können, denn auf ihrer stählernen Oberfläche wird man sich immer nur selbst spiegeln. Nichts anderes als die Geheimnisse der Technik haben sie zu verbergen. So hyperrealistisch sie sich auch auf den ersten Blick auch auf dem Papier in Pose setzen können, so wenig sind sie in der Lage, sich tatsächlich zu bewegen, sich in den Hüften zu wiegen, sich durch die Haare zu streichen oder Fahrrad zu fahren. Und das ist der Grund, warum sie voller Lügen sind, erklärt ihr Herr und Schöpfer, Hajime Sorayama, der mit Ihnen über Nacht zum Starillustrator wurde. Roboter mit super erotische Ausstrahlung, das hatte die Welt bis 1979 noch nicht zu spüren bekommen. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'South East Asian Specialties: A Culinary Journey Through Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia'
Southeast Asian Specialties starts with a map, a proverb ("other fields, other insects; other seas, other fish"), and a photo of whole, bronzed, barbecued chickens suspended in a shop window. The image is so vivid you can taste the salty crackle of their crisp, lacquered skin. From here, this encyclopedic book, crammed with information, unforgettable photos, and more than 200 recipes, takes you on a vivid journey through Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The chapter on each of these places opens with a brief overview of the local culture and history. This is followed by a procession of spreads, each devoted to a single subject. Cumulatively, this provides a comprehensive experience of the area's rich culinary life.
Since the Chinese are a major influence throughout Southeast Asia, you learn about the health-promoting principles of balance and about ingredients with medicinal benefits that are commonly used in home cooking. The "Dim Sum" section, like many others in the book, shows a dozen or more dishes, with captions providing detailed information. Often names are given in both Mandarin and Cantonese, and the Latin name is provided for anything that grows, from water spinach to various mushrooms. To deepen your understanding of local ingredients, you see how fresh beans become bean sprouts, how tofu and tempeh, indigenous to Indonesia, are made, and how shiitake mushrooms are grown. Equipment is described, with such details as how to season a new earthenware cooking pot.
Daring cooks can enjoy recipes for spicy Malaysian Fish Head Curry and succulent, silken Hainanese Poached Chicken. Those with access to an Asian market can try the recipe for Kuak Durian, a sauce made with the infamous fruit Southeast Asians adore, despite its revolting fragrance. On a simpler note you can make a Eurasian omelet, filled with fresh red chile peppers and onions. Whether or not you use its recipes, if you enjoy Asian food, this book is valuable and enlightening. --Dana Jacobi [via]

Most of the problems travelers encounter have to do with transportation. On a 12-day trek through the Cevennes, Stevenson's cross to bear was Modestine, a stubborn, manipulative donkey he could never quite get the better of. After many humorous trials and tribulations, Stevenson found that his disdain for the creature had turned to love, and at the end of the trip he said goodbye with much regret. Written in just a few months when he was in his late twenties, the publication was initially a means to earn a quick buck. Little did Stevenson know that his Modestine would become one of the great characters in travel literature. [via]
