Cain Külbel, Jürgen: Mordakte Hariri Unterdrückte Spuren im Libanon, HOMILIUS, März 2006 ISBN: 3897068605
Unbekannte Attentäter jagten am 14. Februar 2005 die Fahrzeugkolonne des ehemaligen libanesischen Ministerpräsidenten Rafiq Hariri in Beirut in die Luft. Der UN-Sicherheitsrat entsandte mehrere Spezialkommissionen nach Beirut, um das Attentat aufzuklären. Mehr als eine politisch motivierte Verschwörungstheorie gegen die syrische Regierung kam bislang nicht heraus. Es gibt andere Spuren: Sie reichen bis zu den Tagen des libanesischen Bürgerkrieges zurück und enden im Washington, New York und Jerusalem der Gegenwart. Mit der spektakulären Tötung Hariris wurde ein widerlicher Plan in Gang gesetzt: Der Mord am Mister Lebanon, die entsetzlichen Bilder am Ort des Grauens, brennende, verkohlte Leiber, abgerissene Gliedmaßen, explodierende Fahrzeuge, zerstörte Geschäfte, die mächtige Rauchwolke über der Stadt, unter der blutüberströmte, verletzte Menschen um Hilfe schreiend durch die Straßen irrten, sollten sich in die Hirne der Libanesen einbrennen, sie entsetzen,"wachrütteln"und zu Werkzeugen einer in Gang zu setzenden gesellschaftlichen Umwälzung machen, die später Zedernrevolution genannt werdensollte. Der Autor beginnt eine Spurensuche in einem Dunstkreis, aus dem seit Jahren radikale Rufe nach solch einem Umsturz zu hören sind. Interviews bringen neue Hinweise auf zwei weitere Verbrechen zu Tage, darunter das Autobombenattentat auf Elias Hobeika, das im Januar 2002 Beirut erschütterte und möglicherweise vom gleichen Täterkreis verübt worden war, der auch für den Tod Hariri verantwortlich zu sein scheint. Die Störsender des Konvois von Hariri versagten völlig. Obwohl die eingebaute Elektronik so leistungsfähig war, dass sie mitunter den Radio- und Fernsehempfang in Beirut störte. Sie war somit in der Lage, Handyfernzündungen von Bomben zu verhindern. Lieferant dieser Technik ist eine israelische Firma mit Elektronikspezialisten, die noch vor einigen Jahren im israelischen Militärgeheimdienst tätig waren.

Cohen, Jean-Louis: Liquid Stone. New Architecture in Concrete, Birkhäuser Architektur, ISBN: 3764374837
Kurzbeschreibung\nSince the large-scale use of concrete prefabricated parts in the 1960s and 1970s, this material has developed new applications in recent years and also become more aesthetically refined. Extremely light and thin varieties of concrete like the newly developed Ductal and virtually transparent concrete cladding allow for the creation of interesting and spectacular designs. Precisely such avant-garde architects as Tod Williams & Billie Tsien, Herzog & de Meuron, Zaha Hadid, and Steven Holl make frequent use of these materials. Eight articles and essays by noted authors such as Antoine Picon, Adrian Forty, Guy Nordenson, Franz Ulm, and others shed light on specific aspects of this material and its new forms. Scattered throughout the book are also 30 attractive recent buildings, which illustrate and exemplify these developments. Included are projects by Takashi Yamaguchi, Baumschlager & Eberle, Ateliers Jean Nouvel, Foster and Partners, Ingenhoven und Partner, Santiago Calatrava, Hariri & Hariri, Tadao Ando, Antoine Predock and others. \n\nSynopsis\nSince the large-scale use of concrete prefabricated parts in the 1960s and 1970s, this material has developed new applications in recent years and also become more aesthetically refined.

Harizi, Judah Ben Solomon, 12th/13th Cent. edited by M. E. Stern: SEFER TAHKEMONI, 1854 [Vien] : M. B. Shtern, (Bi-Defus E. Fon Shmidboyer 'im Im Holtsvorteh)

(FT) Cloth, 12mo, 70 pages. 22 cm. In Hebrew with German title page: "Tachkemoni; Mekamen oder Divan. " "ki ha-sefer ha-yak' ar halazeh, asher zeh kemo shesh me'ot shanah, ke-k' eren or bahir ... Yatsa le-or be-or hah' Ayim, eneno nidpas rak' shelosh pe'amim .....me-et Yehudah ben Shelomoh Alharizi." Al-Harizi, (1165-1225) was a "Hebrew poet and translator. He was born in Spain, very likely in Christian Toledo, a city that at this time preserved Arabic culture and that he describes with particular detail; however, there are no conclusive proofs of it, and other places have also been suggested. His education in this cultural atmosphere made him familiar with Arabic and Hebrew language and literature....Al-Harizi's most important literary translation is his Hebrew rendering of the maqamat of the Arabic poet Al-Hariri (Bosra, d. 1121), which he entitled Mahbarot Iti'el ("Notebooks of Ithiel"), completed before 1218. His translation of the maqama, an Arabic literary form in rhyming prose, attains the quality of an original composition, and imparts a Hebrew flavor to Al-Hariri's typically Arabic art; it reproduces the elusive word play and ornate style of the original.....Al-Harizi himself used this form for his major work Sefer Tahkemoni ("The Wise One"?), completed after 1220; he was among the first to use this genre in Hebrew literature. Its 50 maqamat show Al-Hariri's influence, being at the same time his way of showing the possibilities of the Hebrew language and of defending its usage. The language, rhymed prose with some poems intermingled in the text, is taken from the Bible and is often a mosaic of biblical quotations. The different addressees of the work that appear in the manuscripts are not surprisingly Oriental Jews, as Al-Harizi composed this book in his travels through the Orient, from one country to the other, or, as he says, from Egypt to Babylon.The maqamat of the Tahkemoni begin with a narrative frame introduced by the narrator, Heman the Ezrahite, who represents in many cases the opinion of the writer. The main character, Heber the Kenite, resembles the heroes of the Arabic maqama in his nature, a roguish polymath and rhymester. He appears in many different forms and is only recognized at the end of the narratives, after having shown his abilities and wisdom. The book includes love ditties, fables, proverbs, riddles, disputes, and satirical sketches, such as the descriptions of a flea and a defense by a rooster about to be slaughtered.Apart from its literary merit and brilliant, incisive style, the Tahkemoni also throws valuable light on the state of Hebrew culture of the period, and describes the scholars and leaders of the communities visited by the author. Al-Harizi gives vivid descriptions of the worthies of Toledo, the poets of Thebes, a debate between a Rabbanite and a Karaite, and conditions in Jerusalem. The Tahkemoni also contains critical evaluations of earlier and contemporary poets, although Al-Harizi's appraisal of his contemporaries is not always reliable and occasionally misses their most essential features" (Aharon Mirsky, Avrum Stroll, &Angel Saenz-Badillos in EJ, 2006). OCLC lists 14 copies worldwide. Original bright green wrappers, Hebrew and German, present and in Very Good Condition, as is the rest of the paper and internal binding. Wear to outer boards, front hinge repaired, Very Good Condition Thus. (k-ger-1-2)
