Auguste Racinet s ursprünglich zwischen 1876 und 1888 erschienenes Buch Le Costume historique galt damals als die umfassendste Studie über Bekleidung , die je geschrieben worden war. Das sechsbändige Werk behandelte Bekleidungsstile und Mode aus der ganzen damals bekannten Welt von der Antike bis zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts und ist in seiner Spannbreite und Detailgenauigkeit einzigartig . TASCHENs Nachdruck der Farbtafeln präsentiert Racinets wunderbar präzise Farbillustrationen sowie seine köstlichen Beschreibungen und oftmals witzigen Kommentare. Das Material – von altetruskischen Roben bis hin zu französischer Couture – ist gemäss Racinets Originalausgabe nach Kulturkreisen und Themen geordnet. Durch die unglaubliche Spannbreite , Racinets Begeisterung für das Thema und seine Liebe zum Detail ist die Kostümgeschichte eine unschätzbare Referenz für Studenten, Modedesigner, Künstler, Illustratoren und Historiker sowie eine übersprudelnde Quelle der Inspiration für alle, die sich für Bekleidung und Mode interessieren.

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, Free University of Berlin (John-F.-Kennedy-Institut), course: History of News, language: English, abstract: ¿Paper is patient! ¿my high school physics teacher used to say, when he corrected our exams. As he explained to us, he had heard this old printers saying many times before from his father, who was in the printing business himself. This motto is more than simply a justification for the laziness of my teacher who almost never corrected our tests on time. Since it comes out of the printing business ¿ a business hundreds of years old ¿ it has a broader meaning. It expresses the enduring existence of the written word. Hence, letters, black on white, are records of people¿s thoughts and opinions at specific points in time, from early signs of human existence on cave walls to digital letters on our modern-day computer screens. Newspapers as a medium for writing are of special interest to historians as well as to ordinary people like you and me. Throughout history newspapers have reflected society. However, it would be an over-simplification to reduce the complexity of newspapers to the mere role of mirroring. They give us useful information about editors, journalists and authors. Their patient words waiting to be read become vibrant thoughts ¿ even though reader and source might be years apart. It is the dichotomy of individual and collective experience in reading that creates a readership. Benedict Anderson¿s concept of imagined communities fits into this context incredibly well. Although a reader might not know all the other readers of his or her newspaper, they still have one thing in common ¿ they have all held the same information in their hands and read the same news. Thus the reader ¿ being aware of this indirectly shared experience ¿ imagines his community of fellow readers. While Anderson refers to communities that overcome all distances I would apply his model to distances in time. It is because of the lasting effect of the written word that, although I am culturally embedded in the 21st century, I can still read, be impressed and influenced by, or even identify with an article that is almost one hundred years old. I leaf through the same pages, look at the same pictures, and think about the same author as did other readers back then. This process ¿ as an extension of Anderson¿s theory ¿ makes me a part of an imagined community that knows no borders, neither in space, nor in time.

Tavis Smiley and Maya Angelou met in 1986, when he was twenty-one and she was fifty-eight. For the next twenty-eight years, Angelou was a teacher and a maternal figure to Smiley, and they talked often of art, politics, history, music, religion, and race. In My Journey with Maya, Smiley beautifully recounts a friendship filled with conversation that began when he, a recent college graduate and a poor kid from a big family in the Midwest, accompanied the revered writer on a sojourn to Ghana. Smiley stumbled into a relationship with her that shaped his future and affected the man he became. Like a mother to him, she was generous, challenging, and inspirational--as she was to so many. Here he shares his portrait of Angelou--a highly complex individual who left an indelible imprint on American culture.

Wall Street Journal bestseller! Poker champion turned business consultant Annie Duke teaches you how to get comfortable with uncertainty and make better decisions as a result. In Super Bowl XLIX, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made one of the most controversial calls in football history: With 26 seconds remaining, and trailing by four at the Patriots' one-yard line, he called for a pass instead of a hand off to his star running back. The pass was intercepted and the Seahawks lost. Critics called it the dumbest play in history. But was the call really that bad? Or did Carroll actually make a great move that was ruined by bad luck? Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time. There's always an element of luck that you can't control, and there is always information that is hidden from view. So the key to long-term success (and avoiding worrying yourself to death) is to think in bets: How sure am I? What are the possible ways things could turn out? What decision has the highest odds of success? Did I land in the unlucky 10% on the strategy that works 90% of the time? Or is my success attributable to dumb luck rather than great decision making? Annie Duke, a former World Series of Poker champion turned business consultant, draws on examples from business, sports, politics, and (of course) poker to share tools anyone can use to embrace uncertainty and make better decisions. For most people, it's difficult to say "I'm not sure" in a world that values and, even, rewards the appearance of certainty. But professional poker players are comfortable with the fact that great decisions don't always lead to great outcomes and bad decisions don't always lead to bad outcomes. By shifting your thinking from a need for certainty to a goal of accurately assessing what you know and what you don't, you'll be less vulnerable to reactive emotions, knee-jerk biases, and destructive habits in your decision making. You'll become more confident, calm, compassionate and successful in the long run.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Discover the game-changing theory of the cycles of history and what past generations can teach us about living through times of upheaval—with deep insights into the roles that Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials have to play—now with a new preface by Neil Howe. First comes a High, a period of confident expansion. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion. Then comes an Unraveling, in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis—the Fourth Turning—when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world—and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict what comes next. Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back five hundred years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four twenty-year eras—or “turnings”—that comprise history’s seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth. Illustrating this cycle through a brilliant analysis of the post–World War II period, The Fourth Turning offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for this rendezvous with destiny.

Die Zeit um 1504 war eine Phase des Umbruchs, auch in der Mode. Bislang war es schwierig, an Informationen zur Kleidung jener Zeit zu gelangen. Sowohl die Forschung, als auch die eher praktisch orientierte Literatur aus dem Umfeld der „Living History“ liessen eine Lücke zwischen der zweiten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts und der Zeit ab etwa 1520. Sie schliesst der vorliegende Band. Er richtet sich nicht nur an alle, die zeitgenössische Quellen zum Nachnähen suchen, sondern bietet auch neueste wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse zur Geschichte der Kleidung am Ausgang des Spätmittelalters. Er beschreibt die wichtigsten Kleidungsstücke für Männer, Frauen und Kinder um 1500 – mit Nähanleitung und Schnittmustern. Aus ihnen können mit nur geringen Änderungen Kleidungsstücke für fast alle Stände jener Zeit erstellt werden. Dieser Band verdankt seinen Ursprung dem bekannten Peter-und-Paul-Fest in Bretten, das unlängst ins „Bundesweite Verzeichnis des Immateriellen Kulturerbes“ der deutschen UNESCO-Kommission aufgenommen wurde. Alljährlich werden hier die Ereignisse der Stadtbelagerung im Landshuter Erbfolgekrieg anno 1504 nachgestellt. Langjährige Aktive fassten nicht nur ihre praktischen Erfahrungen beim Schneidern zusammen, sondern setzen sich auch wissenschaftlich mit den unterschiedlichsten Bereichen des Spätmittelalters auseinander. Dieser Band ist ein grossartiges Ergebnis dieser Arbeit.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, grade: A+, University of Pittsburgh (USA), course: Senior Seminar in the History and Philosophy of Science, language: English, abstract: Most biologists resist positive claims about Lamarckian modes of inheritance, as they perceive such claims as threatening the hegemony of the Darwinian paradigm in which they operate. However, this hesitance may be misguided and unconstructive, should it arise from misconceptions about the relationship between contemporary ¿Lamarckian¿ discoveries and the views which Lamarck himself actually held. Given the recent revitalization of interest in Lamarckian evolutionary perspectives (Cairns et al. 1988, Hall 1991, Ewer 1996, 2004; Steele 1979, 1998; Jablonka and Lamb 2007), and the lingering ambiguity concerning what constitutes Lamarckian theses, it would be prudent to evaluate the relationship between contemporary Lamarckian theses and traditional Lamarckian positions. Scientists working in evolutionary fields tend to label as ¿Lamarckian¿ any claims that imply the inheritance of somatic mutations; adaptations derived through interaction between the organism and environment, and subsequently passed to offspring (the most famous example being the giraffe stretching its legs and neck to reach higher leaves). However, the relationship connecting contemporary ¿Neo-Lamarckian¿ ideas and traditional Lamarckian ideas is dubious at best, and conceptually misleading at worst, both for working scientists and casual laymen. For example, traditional Lamarckian inheritance acts through the whole organism or its parts, while modern Lamarckian inheritance tends to act on individual cells or even whole populations. The invocation of the label ¿Lamarckian¿ carries historical and conceptual baggage that I would like to disambiguate from recent, supposedly ¿Lamarckian¿ modes of inheritance. To accomplish this, I will reveal and clarify the evolutionary claims that Lamarck himself published, most notably in Jean-Batiste Lamarck¿s Philosophie Zoologique, and evaluate the relationship between his traditional claims, and more recent claims labeled as ¿Lamarckian¿ by contemporary scientists. This paper will provide an analysis of the conceptual interplay occurring between modern Lamarckian claims, and what Lamarck actually believed and published, via an investigation of the evolution of the term Lamarckian/Lamarckism from 1809 to the present; my conclusion, then, should be a fair appraisal of the relationship existing between Lamarck¿s actual claims and contemporary Neo-Lamarckian claims.
