Olga Waissnix: Sie war das Abenteuer seines Lebens.Während einer Kur in Meran verliebt sich Arthur Schnitzler als 24-Jähriger mit einer Intensität in die gleichaltrige Olga Waissnix, die er selbst nicht für möglich gehalten hat. Sie ist seine "grande passion" - und wird doch nie seine Geliebte, wohl aber im Laufe der Jahre seine Seelenfreundin und wichtigste Kameradin. Mit keiner anderen Frau, die er geliebt hat, kann Schnitzler "so gescheit reden" wie mit ihr. Elf Jahre lang, von 1886 bis 1897, korrespondieren und treffen sich die beiden. Olga Waissnix ist es auch zu verdanken, dass aus dem Arzt wider Willen letztendlich ein bedeutender Schriftsteller wird. In die Zeit dieser ungewöhnlichen Beziehung fallen die Uraufführungen von Schnitzlers ersten Stücken "Das Märchen" und "Liebelei". Elisabeth-Joe Harriet hat sich auf eine spannende Spurensuche begeben und zeichnet das berührende Porträt einer außergewöhnlichen Frau.

'I love how Pilcher paints the setting, the scenery and the locals. This book has you questioning motherhood, widowhood, family, loyalty and more but at the same time whilst doing all this it's cosy, inviting and warm' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A feel-good story about second chances by the beloved Rosamunde PilcherVirginia Keile has a secret dream - to have a second chance at loving the tall, handsome Cornish farmer she met, and foolishly lost, the heady summer she was a debutante. Life has taught Virginia a great deal in twenty-seven years - about wedding a titled bachelor picked out by her mother, a lonely marriage that ended in her husband's accidental death, and nearly losing her children to her mother-in-law and bossy Nanny. Now she has come back to picturesque Cornwall to rent a battered seaside cottage for herself and for the children. And to discover if she can fill an empty house with love.READERS LOVE THE EMPTY HOUSE:'Yet another of Rosamunde Pitcher's superb books.

General for the Series: The Casebooks in Criticism introduce readers to the essential criticism on landmark works of literature and film. For each volume, a distinguished scholar who is an authority on the text has collected the most elucidating and distinctive scholarly essays on that work and added key supporting materials. Each volume includes a substantial introduction which considers the key features of the work, describes its publication history, and contextualizes its cultural import and contemporary reputation while also surveying the major approaches which have informed the works critical history. A condensed bibliography offers suggestions for further reading. The compact volumes provide a critical survey and suggest provocative ways to engage with their texts. They are ideally suited to those interested in developing a deeper understanding of a works history and significance. Specific for this book: Most of the best criticism on Stowe's landmark novel is fairly recent. Until the combined impact of the civil rights and women's movements changed the focus of the academic ciriculum, Uncle Tom's Cabin seldom appeared in classrooms or as the subject of published scholarship. However, from the mid-1970 forward, the book has been widely written about and taught. Today, Uncle Toms Cabin is a stable, important part of the nineteenth-centruy American literature canon and has generated a rich body of new critical work. This casebook collects the best of the new scholarship as well as the most influencial older essays. Included in this volume are letters by Harriet Beecher Stowe and articles by James Baldwin, Leslie Fiedler, Jane Tompkins, Gillian Brown, Robert Stepto, and Elizabeth Ammons.

Success is driven through collaboration. The field of Industrial and Systems Engineering has evolved as a major engineering field with interdisciplinary strength drawn from effective utilization, process improvement, optimization, design, and management of complex systems. It is a broad discipline that is important to nearly every attempt to solve problems facing the needs of society and the welfare of humanity. In order to carry this forward, successful collaborations are needed between industry, government, and academia. This book brings together an international group of distinguished practitioners and academics in manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and energy sectors to examine what enables successful collaborations. The book is divided into two key parts: 1) partnerships, frameworks, and leadership; and 2) engineering applications and case studies. Part I highlights some of the ways partnerships emerge between those seeking to innovate and educate in industrial and systems engineering, some useful frameworks and methodologies, as well as some of the ideas and practices that undergird leadership in the profession. Part II provides case studies and applications to illustrate the power of the partnerships between academia and practice in industrial and systems engineering.FeaturesExamines the success from multiple industriesProvides frameworks for building teams and avoiding pitfallsContains international perspectives of successUses collaborative approaches from industry, government, and academiaIncludes real world case studies illustrating the enabling factorsOffers engineering education and student-centric takeaways

De-Signing Design: Cartographies of Theory and Practice throws new light on the terrain between theory and practice in transdisciplinary discourses of design and art. The editors, Elizabeth Grierson, Harriet Edquist, and Hélène Frichot, bring together diverse approaches to design theory, practice, and philosophy from leading scholars in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Themes include spatiality, difference, cultural aesthetics, and identity in the expanded field of place-making and being. The concept that design can be de-signed is presented as a way of exploring different approaches to an experimental and experiential thinking-doing that promises to further open up research possibilities in the fields of design and art thinking and practice. The book enacts a series of cartographic devices to articulate the spaces between theory and practice.
