More Heroic Failures by Stephen Pile
A 2nd, expanded edition, with a new Foreword by Alexander Kluge. The match: little stick tipped with combustible stuff, sparked by friction; typically comes in a book or a box or a bundle (the point being: never alone). The highly portable match lighting more or less when required was a great nineteenth-century innovation. Before, we had only Danger and Poison matches, and countless match-induced accidents and suicides. We still have...
The notion of the author as the creator and therefore the first owner of a work is deeply rooted both in our economic system and in our concept of the individual. But this concept of authorship is modern. Mark Rose traces the formation of copyright in eighteenth-century Britain―and in the process highlights still current issues of intellectual property. Authors and Owners is at once a fascinating look at an important episode in legal...

The biggest issue is how to get a little food to sustain him and ...

Weit über 100 Milliarden Euro werden jährlich mit Hilfe von Derivaten - also Optionen, Futures und anderen Termingeschäften - gewaschen, so eine Schätzung von Experten. Und nicht nur Drogenkartelle, Terroristen und Menschenhändler, auch Regierungen und namhafte Investmentbanken mischen dabei kräftig mit. Jeder Versuch, die Finanzströme transparent zu machen, wird abgeblockt oder ist angesichts der Komplexität der Derivate zum Scheite...
