Su"ender and catch: give so you can receive, where the giving is your whole self, in a total experience. This is scarcely new on the American scene, and it is ancient knowledge, East and West. The fears of total surrender, the fears of self-revelation and of total abandon, although genuine, are likewise not new. Yet Kurt H. Wolff does attempt something new here, an epistemologi cal essay with the help of this old idea: his subtitle is 'experience and inquiry today'. He tries to formulate an integrated view which incorporates in the theory of total experience not only the accepted component- esthetics, religion, the recent American experience - but also a metaphysics, a phenomenology, a theory of perception, a social philosophy and a methodology of the social sciences, even a philosophy of history and psychopathology. Phenomenology (especially Alfred Schutz), the critical Frankfurt school (especially Adorno and Marcuse), sociology (especially Georg Simmel), and existentialism (especially Camus) are tied in together. It all looks topsy-turvy at first. We have here scraps of a diary, fragments of correspondence, a stray adolescent love letter, notes on notes on field work, and notes and comments on tutorial seminars plus long excerpts from students' essays, a stray paper in a learned journal summarizing the core of the book, comments piled on comments and a web of self-references, literary criticisms, and pieces of poetry, plus a rich scholarly apparatus.

No one before or after Kurt Tucholsky has captured the horrors of the "Great War," as World War I was known, quite like he did. The famed Weimar writer, who would become one of Germany's best-known satirist and journalists, describes surviving in the trenches and fighting a losing battle, the arrogance of the officers and the desperation of the loved ones back home. His writing is similar to that of Heinrich Heine, his role model, in that it appears superficially simple but is replete with hidden meanings. His works are touching, stirring, and precisely to the point. He brings alive the war that still looms even into our own 21st century. This is the first bilingual anthology in German and in English of his works on World War I. The First World War was the "Great War". Everything that happened after this war, even into our own 21st century, is contingent on the years between 1914 and 1918. The Great War also shaped Kurt Tucholsky who emerged from the war.. His style is biting, satirical, and penetrating, full of Berlin gallows humor. This bilingual anthology contains English translation of his short stories as well as a rendition of his poetry about World War I, all representative of his style.

In late 2005, Cleveland Clinic invited two artists to witness its people, environs and activities. Larry Fink and Andrew Moore were chosen for their outstanding abilities and contrasting photographic styles. Larry Fink photographed people. His images are like the stage in a darkened theater. His hand-held flash splendidly illuminates the details of the drama before us, revealing the nuance of the moment, while often displaying the sensitive core of interpersonal-relationships. Andrew Moore photographed places. Working with camera on tripod, his large-scale photographs bespeak an intense involvement with architecture, art and history. With every element gorgeously rendered, he is particularly adept at balancing formality and disarray, within a highly nuanced expression of light and color. With unprecedented access over a period of twelve months, the two photographers roamed from rooftop to basement, streetside to bedside, in quest of insights and images. Chance and opportunity governed their choice of places and subjects. While Two Views includes the worlds of medicine, art, science and architecture, it is not a comprehensive record, but an impressionistic overview of a Cleveland Clinic at a fleeting moment in time, hard at work serving patients and the community.

Musicologists, pianists, composers and music-lovers in general will welcome the re-issue and second edition of Larry Sitsky's Busoni and the Piano, which has been out of print for a number of years. The second edition, which brings various aspects of the book up-to-date, will thus once again be available. Since the book was written in the late 1970s, Busoni has re-emerged as an important figure in early 20th-century music, and moreover, one who seems to be exerting an ever-widening influence on current thought and pianism. Larry Sitsky has spent a lifetime performing, teaching, editing and studying Busoni's music. He has recently completed an ending to Busoni's great opera Dr.Faust, which will be heralded in the great opera houses of Europe; as well, he is currently working on another book on Busoni's instrumental, vocal and operatic music, and must be considered a world authority on this fascinating figure.

Product Description Dance of the Dialectic is a stunning tour-de-force, the story of Canadian politics since 1968 and an account of how Pierre Elliot Trudeau's government and the Ottawa press gallery together have made and re-made the political mood in this country. Review "A style that might well be the most eclectic and eccentric ever applied to a Canadian political subject." -- Robert Fulford ― Saturday Night About the Author LARRY ZOLF has been a critic, reporter/producer/consultant, CBC news and current affairs, since 1962.

How can we remember Pierre Trudeau? Let Zolf count the ways.First he was the wisest (or the wiliest?) of the Wise Men, the Philosopher King with the potion of "Reason Above Passion." Then he was the star of Trudeaumania, "our permanent Expo": suddenly Canada had a prime minister who could surf, shrug, frug, flip and flirt. In 1970 there was the macho Trudeau of War Measures, daring a nation of pantywaists to "Just Watch Me." More roles followed. With so many masks, the fifteenth prime minister bedazzled the people for sixteen years, when suddenly they awoke to ask, "What did he do to us?"Written as Trudeau retired from active politics, illustrated with dozens of photographs chronicling his career, Just Watch Me is a fascinating record of the career of one of Canada's most enigmatic leaders.
