The rise of young legend-to-be and future three-time world champion Tom Curren, whose preternatural wave-riding abilities would help establish California at the forefront of contemporary surfing; the emergence of then-unknown board builder Al Merrick of Channel Island Surfboards, who would go on to becoming the sport's premier board-builder; a once-in-a-generation run of exceptional surf conditions - photographer Jimmy Metyko was there to capture it all. With a compelling blend of dramatic action, intimate moments and epic waves, Metyko's imagery and personal perspectives articulate a remarkable waypoint on the sport's cultural timeline, as well as a better understanding, and appreciation, of where surfing is today."--Amazon.com.

While Southern California punk bands were saying, "Our band could be your life," Los Angeles's hair metal acts were insisting, "Our band could be your fantasy." They weren't out to change the world as much as conquer it, and no one embodied that more than its breakout stars, Motley Crue. On their sophomore record Shout at the Devil, they invited listeners to let their ids run wild, propping the door open for gender play, sexual abandon, and a healthy distrust of authority. As more women entered the workforce - not only because upper-middle class white women had made this a central demand of their feminism but also because industrial job opportunities for men were declining. This book demonstrates how Shout at the Devil showed men rejecting manual labor in favor of being beautiful, entertaining, and sexually available. What followed were era-defining culture wars about gender roles, sexual expression, and freedom of speech.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2022 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Philosophie des 19. Jahrhunderts, Note: 1,7, Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ein Denker, der sich im 19. Jahrhundert mit der Arbeit im Kapitalismus auseinandersetzte, war Karl Marx. Im Gegensatz zur menschlichen und lebendigen Arbeit, würde die Arbeit im Kapitalismus durch den Arbeitsprozess, der die Arbeit im Arbeitsprodukt vergegenständlich, entfremdet werden. Den Arbeiter:innen würde somit die vergegenständliche Arbeit als fremde und beherrschende Macht gegenübertreten. Diese Form der Arbeit würde stetig die historisch-gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse mitproduzieren und reproduzieren. Die Arbeiter:innen sein die revolutionären Subjekte, die die historische Aufgabe hätten, diese Verhältnisse umzuwerfen und die kapitalistische Arbeitsform abzuschaffen. Auch der Schwiegersohn von Karl Marx, Paul Lafargue, sah in der kapitalistischen Form der Arbeit die Ursache für die Entfremdung und die negativen sozialen Folgen in der Gesellschaft und forderte die Menschen auf, die Arbeit auf ein Minimum zu reduzieren, um das Leben der Natur des Menschen entsprechend frei und mit Muße führen zu können. In dieser Hausarbeit soll untersucht werden, inwiefern sich der marxsche Arbeitsbegriff vom Arbeitsbegriff von Paul Lafargue unterscheidet. Zudem wird die Frage beantwortet, inwiefern sich die beiden Arbeitskritiken unterscheiden und wie genau sie ihre Arbeitskritik argumentativ aufbauen. Zuerst wird der Marxsche Arbeitsbegriff analysiert, bevor er mit dem Arbeitsbegriff von Pau Lafargue verglichen wird.

Med en barndom, der gik via Aarhus og Sønderholm i Nordjylland, voksede jeg op i en præstegård på Als i de glade 60’ere. Her fik jeg kendskab til mange spændende personligheder og deres virke i det lille landsbysamfund. Mennesker, der sammen med min familie på hver deres måde kom til at forme mit liv.Senere kom skoletiden og Sønderborg Statsskole.Langsomt begyndte en trang til en art oprør i det små at udvikle sig.Hippiebevægelsen og følger heraf. Grænserne blev udforsket.Jeg endte i den kommunistiske lejr – godt inspireret af mine rejser til det forjættede land DDR.Erindringerne strækker sig over de første 20 år af mit liv fra 1955-75, hvor jeg forlader barndommens Als og rejser til Tønder for at læse på seminariet.Siden da er der sket meget, som jeg håber at kunne vende tilbage til.

HR Giger (1940-2014) remains one of the outstanding figures in Swiss art and design history. He achieved international fame in 1979 for designing the fantastic creatures and eerie environments that terrified moviegoers in Ridley Scott's science fiction film Alien. Yet, before these iconic creations made him a celebrity and won him an Academy Award for visual effects, Giger was already highly regarded in the international art world of the 1960s and 1970s, for taking one of the most independent positions in the succession of Surrealism. First published in 2007, this only book to date on HR Giger's early work features a comprehensive collection of his drawings, early airbrush paintings, and designs for oppressive environments. It examines Giger's art from its origins and places it in an art history of horror. Most of the works shown in this volume are only rarely on public display. Here they are presented in dialogue with works by distinguished precursors such as Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Francisco de Goya, Henry Fuseli, Max Klinger, and James Ensor.

"This is a terrific history of the Seventh Fleet's vital service to the United States in the Vietnam War... remarkably researched and interpreted"- Admiral Jonathan W. Greenert, Chief of Naval Operations, 2011-2015 and Commander Seventh Fleet, 2004-2006A superbly illustrated examination of how the US Navy's most powerful fleet fought the Vietnam War, covering all of its elements from aircraft carriers and heavy cruisers to minesweepers and oilers.The US Navy's Seventh Fleet was at the forefront of America's campaign in Vietnam for a decade, from the Gulf of Tonkin Incident that began it all to the final evacuation of South Vietnam. Its mission was highly strategic, and while its primary role was to provide carrier-based air power over North Vietnam - from Rolling Thunder through Linebacker - the fleet's operations were complex, sensitive, and varied, and required all the capabilities of the fleet.This book is the first overall examination of how US Navy's most powerful fleet fought and operated in Vietnam. Distilled from thousands of declassified secret documents by renowned US Navy specialist Dr Edward J. Marolda, it offers a unique new portrait of how the Seventh Fleet fought the Vietnam War, from the offensive strike power of naval aviation to the vital role of fleet logistics. As well as the carrier operations, he examines the surface combatant fleet's gunfire support role, and its raids against the North Vietnamese coast. Dr Marolda also looks at amphibious warfare, fleet air defense, search-and-rescue, and mining and interdiction operations. Illustrated throughout with archive photos, 3D diagrams and spectacular new artwork, and informed by never-before-translated official documents, publications, and personal accounts from North Vietnamese, Soviet, and Chinese sources, this is the real story behind the US Navy's Vietnam War.

Musikhören in therapeutischer Methodik verband sich im 20. Jahrhundert über Möglichkeiten der technischen Moderne mit Hoffnungen auf neue Wege in der Heilkunst.Diese Hoffnungen sind zum Lebensthema der US-amerikanischen Musikerin und Musiktherapeutin Helen Lindquist Bonny (1921-2010) geworden: Als Violinistin entwickelte sie zunächst eine Expertise für Musik der klassisch-romantischen Ästhetik, bevor sie musiktherapeutisch aktiv wurde und dann mit Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) ein musikrezeptives Methodenwerk entwarf.Ihr Lebensweg war verbunden mit Bestrebungen weiblicher Emanzipation und der Rezeption eines Zeitgeistes, in dem die Auseinandersetzung mit Formen veränderter Wachbewusstheit faszinierte. Musikreisen in innere Räume eröffnet an ihrer Biographie ein Panorama zur frühen Fachgeschichte der rezeptiven Musiktherapie im 20. Jahrhundert.

"Futures of Socialism overhauls the history of 'modernisation' and the British Left and recasts our understanding of New Labour. It provides an innovative, iconoclastic history of debates over the 'modernisation' of the Labour Party, beginning with the shocks of the 1970s and ending with the emergence of New Labour"--
