"The Magic Mountain is simply one of the greatest novels ever written." - The Guardian With this dizzyingly rich novel of ideas, Thomas Mann rose to the front ranks of the great modern novelists, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1929. The Magic Mountain takes place in an exclusive tuberculosis sanatorium in the Swiss Alps - a community devoted to sickness that serves as a fictional microcosm for Europe in the days before the First World War. To this hermetic and otherworldly realm comes Hans Castorp, an "ordinary young man" who arrives for a short visit and ends up staying for seven years, during which he succumbs both to the lure of eros and to the intoxication of ideas. "Mann was a master of this genre, in private life as in his fiction." - The London Review of Books "In Mann's work the historic and contemporary retains its outsideness. He is a Wagnerian spellbinder, a mythmaker, but the myth always refers back to the real world." - The New York Review of Books "Mann's sense of vulnerability modifies his temptation to abstraction; his awareness of the tawdry and shameful humanizes his concentration on the very act of art. He is saved by the perverse, by the knowledge that comes from having looked at the lost. For this his greatness, threatened by its own energy, still inspires awe and love." - The New York Times "The Magic Mountain taught me that big ideas have vitality, that intellectual life could make for great storytelling, and that the map of an age could be found in the personalities of the people who lived it, lessons that I carried into the writing of history. But the truth is, I have returned again and again to The Magic Mountain because the characters who inhabit it are such delightful company." - The American Scholar "[The Magic Mountain] is one of those works that changed the shape and possibilities of European literature. It is a masterwork, unlike any other. It is also, if we learn to read it on its own terms, a delight, comic and profound, a new form of language, a new way of seeing." - A. S. Byatt "Long acclaimed as a masterly synthesis of the intellectual history of early 20th-century Europe and for its prescient scrutiny of elements in the German national character that had, and would again, find expression in the calamitous form of the world war." - Kirkus "Magnificent... a beautiful, feverish account of obsessive love" - Jonathan Coe "A monumental writer" - Sunday Telegraph "The greatest German novelist of the 20th century" - Spectator "Mann is Germany's outstanding modern classic, a decadent representative of the tradition of Goethe and Schiller. With his famous irony, he was up there with Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Freud, holding together the modern world with a love of art and imagination to compensate for the emptiness left by social and religious collapse." - Independent "Mann's real masterpiece is his sprawling snowbound epic of 1924, The Magic Mountain ... The entire work is suffused with a sly and gentle humour, making it an absolute delight to read ... A book I return to every couple of years, The Magic Mountain is simply one of the greatest novels ever written." - The Guardian

The passagemaking bible updated to help you live your long-distance voyaging dreams First published in 1975, Robert Beebe's Voyaging Under Power revolutionized long-distance cruising, encouraging powerboaters to enjoy what was once exclusive to sailboats and their crews: crossing oceans to exotic, interesting, and beautiful places in comfort with a minimum of problems and expense. Now power-cruising couple Denis and Mary Umstot, whose interest in power voyaging was ignited by Beebe's work, have updated Voyaging Under Power for the twenty-first century. The much anticipated Voyaging Under Power, Fourth Edition, includes Beebe's original wisdom and philosophy of passagemaking, as well as his groundbreaking thoughts on vessel stability and fuel monitoring. Fourteen new chapters provide insights into a range of additional topics vital for ocean passages and passagemakers, including: Seaworthiness, stability, and other design concepts Options for stabilizing passagemakers including paravanes, active and passive fins, and antiroll tanks Selecting and understanding the critical systems for long-distance voyaging A decision process for choosing a new boat or analyzing the suitability of a used boat An examination of passagemaking models from Nordhavn, Kadey-Krogen, Seahorse, and Dashew, as well as the designs of Stephen Seaton, Michael Kasten, George Buehler, Dave Gerr, and others Highlights of successful and proven passagemakers of the past, including examples from eleven builders and designers First-hand accounts from passagemakers around the globe, including the Mediterranean, Black Sea, South America, South Pacific, Madagascar, and beyond Tips on understanding and predicting weather and waves and what to do in a storm Understanding offshore safety issues, including how to avoid trouble and cross oceans in comfort Choosing and training crew as well as communication tips for a better cruising experience Preparing for and resolving maintenance problems at sea and in distant anchorages "The list of contributors shows the quality of experience in the pages of this fourth edition. Anyone wanting to join, or at least understand the elements of, the long-distance passagemaking lifestyle will find a great deal of knowledge that is realistic, useful, and timely. You'll keep Voyaging Under Power on your pilothouse bookshelf (or its electronic equivalent) for years to come." -- Bill Parlatore, Founder of PassageMaker Magazine "Captain Beebe applied Navy experience, technical creativity, and an open mind to his self-appointed task of inventing the long-range power cruiser. He embraced ideas that others discarded as readily as he rejected solutions others found indispensable. His path, like all innovators, was the uncommon one and his selfless sharing in Voyaging Under Power literally launched a thousand ships. This Fourth Edition of Beebe's classic draws on new ideas and the accumulated wisdom of today's yacht designers and experienced ocean voyagers to further Beebe's cause and liberate thousands more from the tyranny of dry land." -- Michael Jones, Ocean Traveler, Ship Design Collaborator, and Proud Parent of Google Earth

The revised and expanded edition of the bestseller that changed millions of lives The science is clear. The results are unmistakable. You can dramatically reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes just by changing your diet. More than 30 years ago, nutrition researcher T. Colin Campbell and his team at Cornell, in partnership with teams in China and England, embarked upon the China Study, the most comprehensive study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease. What they found when combined with findings in Colin's laboratory, opened their eyes to the dangers of a diet high in animal protein and the unparalleled health benefits of a whole foods, plant-based diet. In 2005, Colin and his son Tom, now a physician, shared those findings with the world in The China Study, hailed as one of the most important books about diet and health ever written. Featuring brand new content, this heavily expanded edition of Colin and Tom's groundbreaking book includes the latest undeniable evidence of the power of a plant-based diet, plus updated information about the changing medical system and how patients stand to benefit from a surging interest in plant-based nutrition. The China Study—Revised and Expanded Edition presents a clear and concise message of hope as it dispels a multitude of health myths and misinformation. The basic message is clear. The key to a long, healthy life lies in three things: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Sophie Taeuber-Arp is a pioneer of modern art. She was at the center of Zurich',s Dada movement and is considered the most important female Swiss artist of the early twentieth century. She was a modern dancer, painter, sculptor, textile artist, designer, and interior architect. She made paper, textiles, wood, and glass shine - she bound light to matter in paintings, jewellery, embroidery, rugs, marionettes, furniture, and sculptures. This unique portrait shows how Sophie remained passionately devoted to her art despite the threat of two world wars. Through her work, she not only found and preserved her inner self and joy in extremely difficult circumstances, but also tapped enormous strength to endure the challenges in her life and remain true to herself. The author, Silvia Boadella, is Sophie Taeuber-Arp',s great-niece and grew up with Sophie',s art. Her approach is intimate and empathetic, as if she were looking at the world through Sophie',s eyes, when drawing from family memories, stories, and documents as well as from unpublished sources. She has created a visually and verbally powerful narrative that for the first time connects stations in Sophie',s life with her works. Through the many, well-chosen illustrations, including photographs from the family archives, she makes this story into a lively experience. Fundamental topics central to every human life, such as love, birth, and death, are woven through the text to offer direct emotional access to Sophie',s works and allow the reader to engage with them creatively, and to experience first-hand how the artist lives on through her art. --- Sophie Taeuber-Arp ist eine Pionierin der modernen Kunst. Sie stand im Zentrum des Zürcher Dada und gilt als wichtigste Schweizer Künstlerin zu Beginn des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Sie war Tänzerin, Malerin, Bildhauerin, Textilkünstlerin, Designerin und Innenarchitektin. Sie brachte Papier, Textilien, Holz und Glas zum Leuchten - sie band Licht an Materie in Bildern, Schmuckstücken, Stickereien, Teppichen, Marionetten, Möbeln und Skulpturen. Dieses einzigartige Porträt zeigt, wie Sophie sich trotz der Bedrohung durch zwei Weltkriege leidenschaftlich ihrer Kunst widmete. Sie fand und bewahrte durch ihre Arbeit nicht nur ihr inneres Selbst und ihre Freude unter äußerst schwierigen Umständen, sondern schöpfte daraus auch eine große Kraft, um zu überleben, den Herausforderungen standzuhalten und sich selbst treu zu bleiben. Die Autorin, Silvia Boadella, ist die Großnichte von Sophie Taeuber-Arp und mit ihrem Lebenswerk aufgewachsen. So kann sie mit einem intimen und empathischen Zugang, als sähe sie die Welt direkt durch Sophies Augen, aus den Erinnerungen, Geschichten und Dokumenten ihrer Familie und aus bisher unveröffentlichten Quellen schöpfen. Ihr gelingt dabei eine wort- und bildstarke Erzählung, die erstmals Stationen aus Sophies Leben mit ihren Werken verbindet. Mit vielen sorgfältig ausgewählten Abbildungen und Fotografien aus dem Familienarchiv gestaltet sie ihre Erzählung zu einem lebendigen Erlebnis. Grundlegende Themen wie Liebe, Geburt und Tod, die für jedes menschliche Leben von zentraler Bedeutung sind, hat die Autorin in den Text eingeflochten, um einen direkten emotionalen Zugang zu Sophies Werken anzuregen und es den Leser*innen zu ermöglichen, sich kreativ mit ihnen auseinanderzusetzen und zu spüren, wie die Künstlerin in ihrer Kunst weiterlebt.
