Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Two books by Maurice Rajsfus, a French activist and former investigative journalist for Le Monde, who shares his research and personal recollections in order to shed new light on France's role in the Holocaust. In the first volume, 'Operation Yellow Star,' Rajsfus meticulously analyzes archival documents, demonstrating the extent of police collaboration with the Vichy regime and how it facilitated the persecution, deportation, and ultimately the death of hundreds of thousands of Jews. Examining long-unseen arrest records and transcripts, Rajsfus seeks to understand how and why many average French citizens resisted Nazi occupation while others were willingly complicit. In the second book, 'Black Thursday,' Rajsfus recounts his own experiences of July 16, 1942, when he and his family were arrested as part of the Vel' d'Hiv roundup, the largest ever in France, of 13,000 Jews. While most of those detained during the two-day sweep eventually died in Auschwitz, the author survived and has spent the rest of his life grappling with his country's betrayal. Together, the two volumes by Rajsfus offer a damning exposé of the bureaucracy of genocide, laying bare how cultural bias, political self-interest, and the influence of right-wing media led to the implementation of the Yellow Star as a segregationist device and determined France's culpability in the Holocaust. Maurice Rajsfus is the author of thirty books and from 19942012 he created and circulated 'Que fait la police,' a 'Cop Watch' bulletin detailing human rights abuses. He lives in Paris with his wife, sons and grandchildren. Phyllis Aronoff has won the Jewish Literary Award for translation and the translation prize from the Quebec Writers' Federation.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An inquisitive woman goes through the motions of life in a not too distant Los Angeles that has lost its vivacity. Vera escapes her hollow world through searching deep within herself to avoid a deluge of commercial information. She develops the capacity for independent thought, falls in love, and must then avoid a seductive technology that could render her catatonic.This post-Orwellian dystopian thriller explores how the truth drowns in a sea of alternative facts, verified information, and sensationalized politics. Instead of deprivation, censorship and doublespeak of 1984, we see a world where corporations fuel vapid consumerism and control individual thought through a barrage of advertising, propaganda, and addictive entertainment streamed directly into the brain.More than pure science fiction, Reality(TM) 2048 is a political philosophy that challenge the tenants of Ayn Rand, globalism, and judicial activism with characters who confront the murky boundaries between rationality and emotion, objective truth and lived experience. Vera's journey explores how socially manufactured identity blocks what each of us can comprehend and asks whether democratic society can exist when we no longer believe anything is true. It's where reality TV and mindless pursuit of technology could take us if we cannot find ways to reconnect with the real world.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 358 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | KALLISTA. She was the forbidden creation destined to keep the vampire clan from being pushed into on extinction. Once the humans had learned of the 67th element, they were relentlessly and had taken the offensive to destroy all vampires. But being The One, she was like no other with incredible strength, beauty, resolve and a natural-born defense to the acute lethalness behind human's only weapon. Although she maintains some of the same vulnerabilities as the rest of her kind, she had found her unique secret to keeping her own youth. She used her "secret" to staying young and her incredible beauty to live comfortably, and without the cumbersome attachments prevalent to her human side, in this modern world full of wealth and privilege. But no matter how hard one may try, and no matter one's history, nature, or proclivity, at any given time love may strike without warning and without prelude. Love and the emotions that accompany love tend to alter one's life in ways never before imagined. And for Kallista, the day that this happened was the most beautiful, terrifying, unusual and horrific beginning to her own demise - to which she submitted utterly.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Hyperrealist photographer Amir Zaki's new monograph covers 20+ years of photographic work, following his widely reviewed book California Concrete: A Landscape of Skateparks. Includes an essay and interview.A double gatefold sculptural monograph with no singular entry or exit and three spines, Amir Zaki, Building + Becoming opens to a full width of roughly 40 inches and brings multiple series into focus: suspended landscapes, rocks, carvings, and hyper-realist California beach architecture, which like his skateparks (also included), are uncannily quiet and devoid of people. 'I am looking for a kind of strangeness within the commonplace . where something familiar and unfamiliar is initially welcoming yet alienating, using digital technology as a means to an end.'Literary critics Walter Benn Michaels and Jennifer Ashton discuss Zaki's manipulation of space through evenness, which is accomplished by creating a perfectly technically focused object: 'The point is not that the pictures overcome physical limits, but that they violate the logic of our eyesight.' Referencing the history of landscape and modern photography in California (Edward Weston, Ansel Adams), Michaels and Ashton show that Zaki's insistence on marrying technology seamlessly with this tradition results in continuity, an 'addition through subtraction' of the third-dimension. Zaki has been interviewed for NPR online and featured or reviewed in the New York Times, Art in America, Los Angeles Times, Seattle Times, as well as having been interviewed in Dezeen, Wallpaper, The New Order, Elle Decor, Hypebeast, GUP Magazine, and Aramco World. His last book, California Concrete is in the top 50 in Skateboarding books and top 150 in Individual Photographer books on Amazon.…
