Something New - P. G. Wodehouse - In this classic satire of English gentry and their servants, romantic intrigue collides with the hunt for a stolen artifact at a lord's country house. When struggling author Ashe Marson and former chorus girl Joan Valentine decide to make a fresh start of their lives, they don't expect to meet again at Blandings Castle—each under an assumed identity, hoping to find a priceless stolen scarab. Posing as servants to various guests, they decide to team up rather than compete. But their covert search is child's play compared to the complicated etiquette of a lord's domestic staff, let alone the intricate intrigues of the families they serve. With the earl's son Freddie engaged to the daughter of an American millionaire, a fixer has been hired to recover compromising love letters Freddie once sent to a chorus girl named Joan. But Freddie's soon-to-be father-in-law has an embarrassing secret of his own: he accidentally pocketed one of the earl's prized scarabs while on a tour of the house. The ensuing ruckus will shuffle the fates and fortunes of all involved before two lovers may unite in this uproarious comedy of manners by the beloved master of British farce. Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, was an English author and one of the most widely read humorists of the 20th century. Born in Guildford, the son of a British magistrate based in Hong Kong, Wodehouse spent happy teenage years at Dulwich College, to which he remained devoted all his life. After leaving school he was employed by a bank but disliked the work and turned to writing in his spare time. His early novels were mostly school stories, but he later switched to comic fiction, creating several regular characters who became familiar to the public over the years. They include the feather-brained Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet, Jeeves; the immaculate and loquacious Psmith; the feeble-minded Lord Emsworth and the Blandings Castle set; the loquacious Oldest Member, with stories about golf; and the equally loquacious Mr Mulliner, with tall tales on subjects ranging from bibulous bishops to megalomaniac movie moguls. Although most of Wodehouse's fiction is set in England, he spent much of his life in the US and used New York and Hollywood as settings for some of his novels and short stories. During and after the First World War, together with Guy Bolton and Jerome Kern, he wrote a series of Broadway musical comedies that were an important part of the development of the American musical. He began the 1930s writing for MGM in Hollywood. In a 1931 interview, his naïve revelations of incompetence and extravagance at Hollywood studios caused a furore. In the same decade, his literary career reached a new peak.

Into the city of Tel Aviv the whirlwinds come, and nothing will ever be the same. Through a city torn apart by a violence they cannot comprehend, three disparate people — a documentary film-maker, a yeshiva student, and a psychotic fireman — must try to survive, and try to find meaning: even if it means being lost themselves. As Tel Aviv is consumed, a strange mountain rises at the heart of the city, and shows the outline of what may be another, alien world beyond. Can there be redemption there? Can the fevered rumours of a coming messiah be true? A potent mixture of biblical allusions, Lovecraftian echoes, and contemporary culture, The Tel Aviv Dossier is part supernatural thriller, part meditation on the nature of belief — an original and involving novel painted on a vast canvas in which, beneath the despair, humour is never absent. Experience the last days of Tel Aviv. Praise for The Tel Aviv Dossier "The weird and unsettling Lovecraftian bits? On a scale of one to ten, those are cranked up to about twelve. This book is very, very strange, which means it's a great read!" — Little Red Reviewer "One word review: fun! This novel is insane. It is an often pessimistic mosaic of modern Israeli culture, society, and beliefs. It captures moments of clarity and meaning while examining what happens when our mundane reality butts up against an absurd apocalyptic event. (6 out of 6 He'Brew: The Chosen Beer)" — Southern Fried Weirdo "A deranged sci-fi extravaganza... a neo-Gnostic apocalypse narrative for the iPod generation." — The Jewish Quarterly

It sounds daunting: all those '-isms', long technical words, weird French thinkers and incomprehensible Germans. You can't read a book nowadays, it seems, without being required to refer to them. From university students to the average intelligent reader, everyone is expected to justify their 'theoretical perspective'. The problem is that defining what you mean by 'theory', let alone what you mean by 'literary', causes most people, including the theorists themselves, to mumble incoherently and shuffle their feet. And it is not as though there were just one coherent body of theory to master: there are Formalist, Structuralist, Marxist and Psychoanalytical theories; Poststructuralist, Postcolonialist, and Postmodernist theories; not to mention Feminist and Queer Theories, and even Anti-Theories! Most books providing introductions to Literary Theory are long-winded tomes, guiding dogged readers through the twists and turns of critical analysis and logic. This small volume goes to the heart of the key concepts of Literary Theory, explaining them in clear everyday language. It provides witty and memorable comments and quotations, and enables the student of literature to raise the most pertinent and challenging questions, which even university professors have difficulty answering.

Anfang der 90er Jahre arbeiteten Forscher am Fraunhofer-Institut in Erlangen an einem Problem, das als unlösbar galt: Musik so stark zu komprimieren, dass sie über Telefonleitungen gesendet werden kann, ohne dass das menschliche Ohr einen Unterschied hört. Das Ergebnis war das Format .mp3. Doch als sie ihre Erfindung der Musikindustrie präsentierten, wurden sie ausgelacht. Niemand wollte Qualität für Speicherplatz opfern. "Der Komprimierte Klang" erzählt die unglaubliche Underdog-Story von Karlheinz Brandenburg und seinem Team. Da die Industrie das Format ablehnte, verschenkten sie die Software im Internet. Was folgte, war die größte Disruption der Mediengeschichte. Napster und illegale Downloads brachten die Plattenlabels an den Rand des Ruins, bevor Apple mit dem iPod das Format legitimierte und Milliarden verdiente. Das Buch erklärt die Psychoakustik hinter der Kompression – das Weglassen von Tönen, die das Gehirn ohnehin maskiert – und nutzt den Song "Tom's Diner" von Suzanne Vega, an dem der Algorithmus trainiert wurde, als roten Faden. Es ist eine Fallstudie darüber, wie man einen Industriestandard gegen den Willen der Industrie durchsetzt und warum deutsche Ingenieurskunst oft am Marketing scheitert.
