Die Brille im Film: ein interessantes Thema! Warum? Wenn man Filme unter diesem Aspekt betrachtet, wird deutlich, dass sich in der Filmgeschichte auf unterhaltsame Weise die Brillengeschichte widerspiegelt. Und gelegentlich wird im Kino sogar Brillengeschichte geschrieben, etwa wenn eine Filmbrille die Brillenmode im wirklichen Leben beeinflusst. Kein Film-Accessoire ist geeigneter, um einen Schauspieler visuell besser zu charakterisieren als eine Brille. Die Brille sitzt nun mal genau da, wo jeder Schauspieler seine größte Ausdrucksmöglichkeit hat, nämlich vor den Augen; was wäre ein Schauspieler ohne ausdrucksvolles "Augenspiel"? Manchmal werden im Film sogar ganz individuelle Brillengeschichten erzählt, etwa wenn ein Schauspieler seine unvorteilhafte Brille durch eine modische Brille ersetzt und so eine persönliche Entwicklung deutlich gemacht wird. Noch sehr viele andere unterhaltsame Beispiele, wie auf die eine oder andere Weise die Brille im Film eingesetzt wird, werden Sie in diesem Buch finden.In den Anfängen des Films war die Brille einfach ein Unterscheidungsmerkmal. Später charakterisierte sie oftmals Sonderlinge oder Intellektuelle. Und in einigen Genres, wie etwa dem Western, war sie früher fast tabu: Ein Westernheld mit Brille hätte es nicht einfach gehabt, vom Publikum akzeptiert zu werden - Ausnahmen bestätigen wie immer die Regel. Was die Schauspielerinnen betrifft, mussten die Regisseure sogar noch bis in die 1970er Jahre viel Überzeugungsarbeit leisten, bevor sie ihnen eine Brille aufsetzen durften. Die Akzeptanz der Brille hat aber auch bei den Schauspielerinnen längst enorm aufgeholt. Es ist daher heutzutage deutlich einfacher geworden, eine Schauspielerin mit Brille agieren zu lassen; viele in diesem Buch aufgeführte hübsche Schauspielerinnen mit ebenso hübschen Brillen beweisen das. All dies und noch viel mehr wird in diesem Buch anschaulich erläutert.

Der Ausbruch des tödlichen Ebolavirus in Westafrika von 2013 bis 2016 wurde zu einer Epidemie unvorstellbaren Ausmaßes, die als Gesundheitsnotstand von internationaler Bedeutung und Bedrohung der weltweiten Sicherheit eingestuft wurde. Die Gesundheitssysteme von Guinea, Liberia und Sierra Leone brachen zusammen und es bedurfte größter internationaler Anstrengung, den Ausbruch einzudämmen. Weltweite Aufmerksamkeit erreichte die Epidemie, als Ebolainfizierte nach Nigeria, Europa und in die USA gelangten und es dort zu Ansteckungen kam.Sabine Walter besuchte als Regionalärztin des Auswärtigen Amtes die Länder Westafrikas und verfolgte die Geschehnisse aufmerksam. Mit diesem Buch erinnert sie an eine verheerende Epidemie, die zur humanitären Katastrophe wurde mit weit mehr als 28.000 Infektionen, mehr als 11.000 registrierten und unzähligen weiteren Toten.«The Ebola epidemic in West Africa was not only a public health emergency, but also a humanitarian crisis and an economic and social disaster. Many precious lessons can be drawn for the response against future epidemics. A silver lining has been the development of effective vaccines and therapies against Ebola disease. Dr Walter''s book provides first hand experience about the response to Ebola and should be very useful for developing better epidemic preparedness in general.»Peter PiotEiner der Entdecker des Ebolavirus

By around 1900 Weimar had already become an arena of Modernism. Around the cult surrounding Friedrich Nietzsche, colourful personalities like Harry Graf Kessler and Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche took up the idea of the New Man. Henry van de Velde looked to the future as he created a functional and elegant world in design and interiors. Succinct texts describe the beginnings of Modernism some twenty years before the Bauhaus.
