Against Oblivion written by Ian Hamilton and has been published by Faber & Faber this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2012-02-14 with Literary Criticism categories.
Ian Hamilton's last book, published posthumously in 2002, is a typically brilliant revisiting of the concept of Samuel Johnson's classic Lives of the English Poets, wherein Hamilton considers 45 deceased poets of the twentieth century, offering his personal estimation of what claims they will have on posterity and 'against oblivion.' Examples of each poet's verse accompany Hamilton's text, making the book both a provocative primer and a kind of critical anthology. 'The affective power of this book... lies in its understatement and its understanding of what we might care about. From a century of Manifestoes and Movements, Hamilton works as a corrective for the local and particular... his idea of poetry, of what made greatness in poetry, emerges intact from each measured sentence. His criticism always pointed you towards all that he could find that was true in a piece of writing.' Tim Adams, Observer

Der Künstler Manfred Bockelmann, porträtiert seit Jahren junge Menschen, die dem Nationalsozialismus zum Opfer fielen. Bockelmann möchte damit 'Zeichen gegen das Vergessen' setzen und zumindest einigen wenigen Namen und Nummern Gesichter geben, Menschen aus der Anonymität der Statistik herausheben. Die porträtierten Kinder und Jugendlichen wurden am Wiener Spiegelgrund und in den Konzentrationslagern Auschwitz-Birkenau, Theresienstadt sowie anderen zu Opfern des Nationalsozialismus. Gerade in diesen Bildern der damals so genannten 'Unreinen' zeigt sich eine reine Menschlichkeit. Der Anspruch des Künstlers, 'gegen das Vergessen' zu zeichnen, meint nicht nur diese ganz besonderen jungen Menschen, die einen Namen und eine Biografie haben, sondern zielt darauf ab, den Wert einer empathischen Mitmenschlichkeit nicht zu vergessen. Anteil zu nehmen, nicht wegzusehen, sich zu identifizieren - das ist die Botschaft.0Exhibition: Leopold Museum, Wien, Austria (17.05.-02.09.2013).

Two colonies set out from Earth. One would travel the solar system and return in fifty years. The other, by design, would never come back. The crew of the returning ship, however, finds that during its absence, it missed a rather crucial planetary event: the Apocalypse. Soon the last remaining humans--those in the second, wandering colony--are about to be thrust into a final battle for souls between the forces of good and evil. Evil is much better prepared for the fight, though. The futures of both mankind and the afterlife depend upon the actions of all the humans caught in the struggles. Even though the forces they are up against are no less powerful than deity, humans with enough willpower can sometimes do amazing things...

This Atom Bomb in Me traces what it felt like to grow up suffused with American nuclear culture in and around the atomic city of Oak Ridge, Tennessee. As a secret city during the Manhattan Project, Oak Ridge enriched the uranium that powered Little Boy, the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. The city was a major nuclear production site throughout the Cold War, adding something to each and every bomb in the United States arsenal. Even today, Oak Ridge contains the world's largest supply of fissionable uranium. The granddaughter of an atomic courier, Lindsey A. Freeman turns a critical yet nostalgic eye to the place where her family was sent as part of a covert government plan. Theirs was a city devoted to nuclear science within a larger America obsessed with its nuclear prowess. Through memories, mysterious photographs, and uncanny childhood toys, she shows how Reagan-era politics and nuclear culture irradiated the late twentieth century. Alternately tender and alarming, her book takes a Geiger counter to recent history, reading the half-life of the atomic past as it resonates in our tense nuclear present.
