|  Produktbeschreibung (22475757): Walter Benjamin envisioned the underground Paris Arcades as the quintessential 19th century industrial dream space. In 10:01 Lance Olsen provides us with the Millennial version: the Mall of America, in Bloomington, Minnesota, ´´large enough to contain seven Yankee Stadiums.´´ Each page headlines a different character or set of characters randomly flung together in a movie theater there in mid-afternoon. They interface (often freakishly) with each other; with the Mall´s blandishments; with the images on the screen; with their own fantasies. At the climax the theater and its inhabitants suddenly implode, perhaps out of the ultimate logic of late industrial capitalism. Or they don´t implode but are sucked irresistibly into the black hole of American make-believe. Olsen has written a cunningly original docufiction of the American psyche post-9/11 and perennial. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 9.95 bestellen! |

The Contemplated Spouse: The Letters of Wallace Stevens to Elsie (buecher.de - (Teil2)) | | Produktbeschreibung (21611278): Stevens´s earlier, more intimate letters, though never free from his internal censor, foreshadow the poems he later published. Incidents he describes in his pre-1913 correspondence recur throughout his canon. His later letters, penned after his marriage, comment on the geography that would surface in his poetry - the Carolinas, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Key West. The collection is augmented by editor J. Donald Blount´s introduction - an overview of Stevens´s life and his relationship with Elsie - and extensive footnotes to the letters that provide essential information about Stevens´s references. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 42.95 bestellen! |

The Democrats´ Dilemma: Walter F. Mondale and the Liberal Legacy (buecher.de - (Teil1)) | | Produktbeschreibung (22225559): ´´The Democrats´ Dilemma´´ begins with Mondale´s early career in Minnesota politics, from his involvement with Hubert Humphrey to his election to the United States Senate in 1964. Like many liberals of his generation, Mondale travelled to Washington hopeful that government power could correct social wrongs. By 1968, urban unrest, a potent white backlash, and America´s involvement in the Vietnam war dimmed much of his optimism. In the years after 1972, as senator, as vice president, and as presidential candidate, Mondale self-consciously attempted to fill the void after the death of Robert Kennedy. Mondale attempted to create a new Democratic majority by finding common ground between the party´s competing factions. Gillon contends that Mondale´s failure to create that consensus underscored the deep divisions within the Democratic Party. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 25.95 bestellen! |

|  Produktbeschreibung (21626982): Turning from these historic cases, she takes us back to crimes that have only recently fallen out of the headlines, such as the disappearance of Etan Patz in New York or Jacob Wetterling in Minnesota, and the growing industry revolving around missing children, from not-for-profit foundations publicizing missing children to for-profit businesses offering to insure children against kidnapping. In this sharp, vivid book, Fass skillfully illuminates our national obsession with child abduction in a society which both values and exploits its youngest members. The loss of each child is a unique and devastating tragedy. But how we respond as a community and as a nation to these crimes speaks volumes about who we are. In confronting how we have treated the children stolen from our lives, Fass shows, we confront ourselves. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 30.95 bestellen! |

|  Produktbeschreibung (22422747): This volume is the proceedings of the IMA workshop ´´Degenerate Diffusions´´ held at the University of Minnesota from May 13-May 18, 1991. The workshop consisted of two parts. The emphasis of the first four days was on current progress or new problems in nonlinear diffusions involving free boundaries or sharp interfaces. Analysts and geometers will find some of the mathematical models described in this volume interesting; and the papers of more pure mathematical nature included here should provide applied mathematicians with powerful methods and useful techniques in handling singular perturbation problems as well as free boundary problems. The last two days of the workshop were a celebration of James Serrin´s 65th birthday. A wide range of topics was covered in this part of the workshop. As a consequence, the scope of this book is much broader than what the title Degenerate Diffusions might suggest. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - Topseller ansehen oder für EUR 89.95 bestellen! |
