Zenith Radio - Ph.d Cones - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Zenith Radio - Ph.d Cones - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Zenith''s "The Quality Goes in Before the Name Goes On" is one of the most recognized, and well earned, corporate mottos in America. Founded by two Navy radiomen in 1919, luck and the infusion of capital from a wealthy adventurer and car salesman started the Zenith Radio Corporation on a journey that would propell it to the top of the United States electronics manufacturing industry. The rise was an interesting one, the cast of high profile. With access to the Zenith corporate archives and their discovery of the long sealed files of one of Zenith''s founders, the authors present for the first time the documented story of Zenith radio and company from 1919 through 1935. Professors Cones and Bryant draw on their long experience as radio enthusiasts and writers for both the popular and scholarly press to tell the fascinating story of Zenith''s impact on early radio history. They present a wealth of never before published photographs, documents, and information, as well as color portraits of many Zenith radios of the era. Complimenting the story is an illustrated catalog of nearly every Chicago Radio Laboratory and Zenith radio model produced between 1919 and 1935 and a database of valuable information which covers every radio produced by the company, along with a rarity and price guide.

Pessoa - Richard Zenith - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

FINALIST: 2022 PULITZER PRIZE IN BIOGRAPHY A NEW STATESMAN AND SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021 ''A revelation. Such a revolutionary literary discovery seems unlikely to be on offer again. It''s that good'' Sunday Times ''A masterpiece of literary biography. Zenith has produced a work in some ways as astonishing as those of Pessoa himself'' John Gray, New Statesman For many thousands of readers Fernando Pessoa''s The Book of Disquiet is almost a way of life. Ironic, haunting and melancholy, this completely unclassifiable work is the masterpiece of one of the twentieth century''s most enigmatic writers. Richard Zenith''s Pessoa at last allows us to understand this extraordinary figure. Some eighty-five years after his premature death in Lisbon, where he left over 25,000 manuscript sheets in a wooden trunk, Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) can now be celebrated as one of the great modern poets. Setting the story of his life against the nationalistic currents of European history, Zenith charts the heights of Pessoa''s explosive imagination and literary genius. Much of Pessoa''s charm and strangeness came from his writing under a variety of names that he used not only to conceal his identity but also to write in wildly varied styles with different imagined personalities. Zenith traces the back stories of virtually all of these invented others, called ''heteronyms'', demonstrating how they were projections, spin-offs or metamorphoses of Pessoa himself. Zenith''s monumental work confirms the power of Pessoa''s words to speak prophetically to the disconnectedness of modern life. It is also a wonderful book about Lisbon, the city which Pessoa reinvented and through which his different selves wandered. ''Definitive and sublime'' New York Times ''Completely superb and magisterial. Finally, this extraordinary poet gets the great biography he deserves. Unsurpassable'' William Boyd

Zenith Man - Mccracken King Poston Jr. - Bog - Citadel Press Inc.,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

In October 1997, the town of Ringgold in northwest Georgia was shaken by reports of a murder in its midst. A dead woman was found in Alvin Ridley''s house - and even more shockingly, she was the wife no one knew he had. McCracken Poston had been a state representative before he lost his bid for U.S. Congress and returned to his law career. Alvin Ridley was a local character who once sold and serviced Zenith televisions. Though reclusive and an outsider, the ''Zenith Man,'' as Poston knew him, hardly seemed capable of murder. Alvin was a difficult client, storing evidence in a cockroach-infested suitcase, unwilling to reveal key facts to his defender. Gradually, Poston pieced together the full story behind Virginia and Alvin''s curious marriage and her cause of death - which was completely overlooked by law enforcement. Calling on medical experts, testimony from Alvin himself, and a wealth of surprising evidence gleaned from Alvin''s junk-strewn house, Poston presented a groundbreaking defense that allowed Alvin to return to his peculiar lifestyle, a free man. Years after his trial, Alvin was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, a revelation that sheds light on much of his lifelong personal battle - and shows how easily those who don''t fit societal norms can be castigated and misunderstood. Part true crime, part courtroom drama, and full of local color, Zenith Man is also the moving story of an unexpected friendship between two very different men that changed - and perhaps saved - the lives of both.

Imperial Japan at Its Zenith - Kenneth J. Ruoff - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

Imperial Japan at Its Zenith - Kenneth J. Ruoff - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

In 1940, Japan was into its third year of war with China, and relations with the United States were deteriorating, but it was a heady time for the Japanese nonetheless. That year, the Japanese commemorated the 2,600th anniversary of the founding of the Empire of Japan. According to the imperial myth-history, Emperor Jimmu, descended from the Sun Goddess Amaterasu, established the "unbroken imperial line" in 660 BCE. In carefully choreographed ceremonies throughout the empire, through new public monuments, with visual culture, and through heritage tourism, the Japanese celebrated the extension of imperial rule under the 124th emperor, Hirohito. These celebrations, the climactic moment for the ideology that was central to modern Japan''s identity until the imperial cult''s legitimacy was bruised by defeat in 1945, are little known outside Japan. Imperial Japan at Its Zenith , the first book in English about the 2,600th anniversary, examines the themes of the celebration and what they tell us about Japan at mid-century. Kenneth J. Ruoff emphasizes that wartime Japan did not reject modernity in favor of nativist traditionalism. Instead, like Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, it embraced reactionary modernism. Ruoff also highlights the role played by the Japanese people in endorsing and promoting imperial ideology and expansion, documenting the significant grassroots support for the cult of the emperor and for militarism. Ruoff uses the anniversary celebrations to examine Japan''s invention of a national history; the complex relationship between the homeland and the colonies; the significance of Imperial Japan''s challenge to Euro-American claims of racial and cultural superiority; the role of heritage tourism in inspiring national pride; Japan''s wartime fascist modernity; and, with a chapter about overseas Japanese, the boundaries of the Japanese nation. Packed with intriguing anecdotes, incisive analysis, and revelatory illustrations, Imperial Japan at Its Zenith is a major contribution to our understanding of wartime Japan.

At the Zenith of the Empire - Stewart Lemoine - Bog - NeWest Press - Plusbog.dk

At the Zenith of the Empire - Stewart Lemoine - Bog - NeWest Press - Plusbog.dk

In 1913, legendary tragedienne Sarah Bernhardt travelled to Edmonton, Alberta, to perform the last act of Alexandre Dumas’s The Lady of the Camellias before two packed houses at the Empire Theatre. Augmenting well-documented accounts of both the Bernhardt visit and the surprisingly active local live theatre scene during the pre-First World War years, At the Zenith of the Empire creates a swirling speculative scenario about the impact of a very special day in the lives of Edmonton’s earliest theatre-goers and theatre practitioners. The Divine Sarah herself narrates this sumptuous romp of reminiscence, in which she and her eccentric co-star Lou Tellegen become instantly embroiled in the lives of the people they’ve come to entertain. Playwright Stewart Lemoine combines drama with hilarity in a play that visits such local landmarks as Ada Boulevard, the Groat Ravine, newly annexed Strathcona, and the not-quite-completed High Level Bridge-all the while celebrating that most crucial component of the theatrical equation-the audience!

Alkymiens mysterier - Ove Von Spaeth - Bog - Forlaget Zenith IC - Plusbog.dk

Alkymiens mysterier - Ove Von Spaeth - Bog - Forlaget Zenith IC - Plusbog.dk

Ideen om alkymisternes ‘Store Værk’ går langt tilbage i historien. En sen brug af udtrykket var meget fremme i alkymien i middelalderens Europa - og refererer til succesrig afslutning af transmutation fra et grundelement til guld eller frembringelse af ”de vises sten” - men især til personlig trans- mutation. Dette fænomen blev på ny studeret og diskuteret af Carl G. Jung. * Som en særlig form for indvielse var alkymi en egen vej til spirituel udvikling. Alkymi var i brug i oldtidens Egypten - og især i renæssancen. I Bibelen, efter den gådefulde ”Guldkalv” episode som afspejler en kultisk betydning, skulle israelitterne drikke vand, hvori Moses havde strøet guldstøv. Det stof er fra oldtiden kendt i alkymi som et særligt lægemiddel. Alkymiens senere fysiske bidrag til moderne videnskab er umådelige - og udvikledes til moderne kemisk industri, medicin og atomfysik, men uden at inkludere ånd som alkymisternes arbejde krævede.

Shakespeares astrologi - Ove Von Spaeth - Bog - Zenith IC Forlag - Plusbog.dk

* En værdifuld fængslende præsentation af astrologiens betydning for Shakespeare og hans værker i forbindelse med hans samtid. Dette nybrud føjer et fuldstændigt nyt lag til det 21. århundredes forståelse af Shakespeares genialitet. En i dag komplet overset eller negligeret dimension blandt verdens tusindvis af Shakespeare-udgivelser og oversættelser, hvor denne oprindeligt indlejrede viden ofte går tabt i gendigtninger eller i forsøg på tekstmodernisering. Shakespeares værker har hundredevis af referencer til stjerner, planeter og astrologi, også på indirekte måder, og med en i nutiden overset betydning. Hans skuespil og digte anvender et utal af astrologisk farvede begivenheder, metaforer og prognoser. I bogen er samlet over hundrede dokumenterede Shakespeare-citater med astrologiske referencer. Til uddybende belysning bringes tillige forklarende noter.

Jesus og oldtidens stjerneverden - Ove Von Spaeth - Bog - Zenith IC - Plusbog.dk

Jesus og oldtidens stjerneverden - Ove Von Spaeth - Bog - Zenith IC - Plusbog.dk

• At være 'stjernefødt' indgik i herskernes propaganda i oldtiden. For at styrke denne idé, brugte man en persisk tradition med beretning om et 'stjerne-under' ved kongernes fødsel. Uddannelsen i stjernelæren foregik dengang både i Babylon og Egypten i templerne hos præsterne, der var kultisk indviede. Stjernelæren og dens tilknyttede videnområder blev betragtet som en hellig videnskab.• Bethlehem-stjernen er en kendt, populær betegnelse for den stjerne, der ifølge fortællingen om de tre vise mænd (Matthæus 2:1-12) ledte dem frem til Jesusbarnet i Bethlehem. Der har gennem tiderne været vidt forskellige forklaringer på denne stjerne, men var den et mytologisk eller astronomiskfænomen?• Det nye Testamente omtaler, at vismændene ankom ved Jesu fødsel, fordi de "havde set hans stjerne i Øst" – de var altså i realiteten astrologer. Bethlehem-stjernen blev tillige set af "hyrder på marken", hvor 'hyrde' tillige var en kultisk indvielsestitel. Begivenheden synes at være foregået i landets anden Bethlehem-by, der ligger blot 7 km fra Nasareth. Hyrderne ventede nærved i byen Nain, der betyder 'marken'.• De gamle mellemøstlige kulturer betegnede på himlen nogle bestemte stjernebilleder som 'Stalden', 'Oksen', 'Æslet' og 'Krybben'. Disse synes også at være indgået i beretningen om Jesu fødsel, idet der ved stjernebilledet 'Æslet' findes en stjerne, Praesaepe, der er græsk for 'Krybben'. Stjernen hedder Nangaru, 'tømmermanden' (Josefs metier) på babylonisk, som dengang ofte brugtes til astronomiske termer.

Den magiske mistelten - Ove Von Spaeth - Bog - Forlaget Zenith IC - Plusbog.dk

Den magiske mistelten - Ove Von Spaeth - Bog - Forlaget Zenith IC - Plusbog.dk

* Gennem flere tusinde år før vores tidsregning var den sære og mystiske plante, misteltenen, en stærkt virksom lægeplante, der tillige af specielle årsager var æret meget højt af druiderne, der i fortidens Europa var de keltiske folks højlærde præster. Her havde planten også sin særlige rolle i vores ældre historie. Lang tids videnskabelig forskning viser, at planten også er afhængig af astronomiske forhold. * Misteltenen, denne sagnomspundne og mystiske plante har med særegne vækstforhold og medicinske egenskaber inspireret til en speciel og yderst interessante psykologiske motiver i mytologi og folketradition. Hos kelterne i oldtidens Europa var den en hellig plante. * Et af tegnene på at misteltenen havde hellig status, var at keltiske druidepræster kun med en guldsegl og under særlige ritualer måtte skære mistelten ned fra kronen af gamle egetræer og ærbødigt opfange dem i hvide klædestykker. Planten måtte aldrig røre jorden.

Vignettes From The Zenith City Archives - Matt Leines - Bog - Nieves - Plusbog.dk

The American illustrator''s new series, field with characters that operate in a kind of abstract epic or post-Columbian codex that blurs pure myth and daily life. Leines'' output reflects the 80''s pop culture, modern art and a global range of graphic influences. From the dawn of this century, Matt Leines has produced a steady flow of fine art to delight and confound viewers–drawings and paintings rich in color and detail–exploring the kaleidoscope of memory and outer zones of imagination. He possesses a workmanlike approach to symbolism and surrealism, the poet''s ability to realize longed-for images and a passion for theatrical sports. The world moves in patterns, faces unfixed, lines dancing across pyramid walls. Perspective is subservient to unique modernist iconography; his characters operate in a kind of abstract epic or post-Columbian codex that blurs pure myth and daily life. Observant, vibrant, obsessively intricate and rippling with gnostic strength and humor, Leines'' output reflects the 80''s pop culture of his New Jersey youth, highlights from the modern art playbook and a global range of graphic influences. He is master of lines and balance—the kind of kid born with a crayon gripped in his hand—who developed his talent through practice and study. This genius for drawing is supported by genuine sympathy for the mysteries of existing and an eye that ranges far and wide, past, present and future, real and unreal. Matt Leines (born 1980 in New Jersey, lives and works in Brooklyn, New York) passed through other east coast visual centers, earned a degree from Rhode Island School of Design and spent a few years at Space 1026 in Philadelphia. Free News Projects published a retrospective monograph in 2008 titled, You Are Forgiven. His work has been shown at Deitch Projects, Clementine Gallery and The Hole in New York; Roberts and Tilton and New Image Art in Los Angeles; as well as international venues in Sweden, Italy, Spain, Greece and Japan.
