A Guardian Book of the Year Maggie Nelson is one of the most electrifying writers at work in America today, among the sharpest and most supple thinkers of her generation - Olivia Laing Bluets winds its way through depression, divinity, alcohol, and desire, visiting along the way with famous blue figures, including Joni Mitchell, Billie Holiday, Yves Klein, Leonard Cohen and Andy Warhol. While its narrator sets out to construct a sort of 'pillow book' about her lifelong obsession with the colour blue, she ends up facing down both the painful end of an affair and the grievous injury of a dear friend. The combination produces a raw, cerebral work devoted to the inextricability of pleasure and pain, and to the question of what role, if any, aesthetic beauty can play in times of great heartache or grief. Much like Roland Barthes's A Lover's Discourse, Bluets has passed between lovers in the ecstasy of new love, and been pressed into the hands of the heartbroken. Visceral, le

An exploration of the invisible connections sustaining the entire natural world from the bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees Did you know that trees can influence the rotation of the earth? Or that wolves can alter the course of a river? Or that earthworms control wild boar populations? The natural world is a web of intricate connections, many of which go unnoticed by humans. But it is these connections that maintain nature's finely balanced equilibrium. Drawing on the latest scientific discoveries and decades of experience as a forester, Peter Wohlleben shows us how different animals, plants, rivers, rocks and weather systems cooperate, and what's at stake when these delicate systems are unbalanced. 'Peter Wohlleben doesn't merely look, he sees. Let's all learn as much from him as we can, and quickly' Rosamund Young, author of The Secret Life of Cows Product details

In der Theorie und Philosophie der Kunst wird gemeinhin die Differenz der Kunst zu anderen menschlichen Praktiken betont. Dies führt dazu, dass weder die Pluralität der Künste noch die Relevanz der Kunst im Rahmen der menschlichen Lebensform hinreichend verständlich werden. Georg W. Bertram plädiert aus diesem Grund für einen Neuansatz in der Bestimmung von Kunst und verteidigt die These, dass in der Auseinandersetzung mit Kunstwerken unterschiedliche Bestimmungen der menschlichen Praxis neu ausgehandelt werden. In diesem Sinne ist Kunst eine hochproduktive reflexive Praxis im Rahmen des menschlichen Weltverhältnisses. Mehr noch: Kunst ist eine Praxis der Freiheit.
