Senator Charles "Mac" Mathias was a lifelong Republican who won every election in a 26-year congressional career in heavily Democratic Maryland. A courageous risk-taker, Mathias led efforts to advance civil rights, voting rights, environmental initiatives to clean up the Chesapeake Bay, and establish the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. On foreign policy, he was an early critic of the Vietnam War and a consistent advocate for nuclear arms control, Middle East peace and sanctions against apartheid South Africa. His story, captured here by senior staff members, members of Congress and others, is an inspiring example of what a courageous political leader can do when he follows his conscience and is acts on principle. His remarkable career is a stark reminder of the days when the Republican Party stood for the rule of law, respect for the Constitution and a bipartisan foreign policy.

Jules Verne, n le 8 f vrier 1828 Nantes et mort le 24 mars 1905 Amiens, est un crivain fran ais dont l'oeuvre est, pour la plus grande partie, constitu e de romans d'aventures et de science-fiction (ou d'anticipation). En 1863 para t chez l' diteur Pierre-Jules Hetzel (1814-1886) son premier roman Cinq semaines en ballon, qui conna t un tr s grand succ s y compris l' tranger. Li l' diteur par un contrat de vingt ans, Jules Verne travaillera en fait pendant quarante ans ses Voyages extraordinaires, qui compteront 62 romans et 18 nouvelles et para tront pour une partie d'entre eux dans le Magasin d' ducation et de r cr ation destin la jeunesse. Les intrigues des romans de Jules Verne - toujours richement document s - se d roulent g n ralement au cours de la deuxi me moiti du XIXe si cle, prenant en compte les technologies disponibles l' poque (Les Enfants du capitaine Grant (1868), Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours (1873), Michel Strogoff (1876), L' toile du sud (1884), etc.) mais aussi d'autres non encore ma tris es, ou plus fantaisistes (De la Terre la Lune (1865), Vingt mille lieues sous les mers (1870), Robur le conqu rant (1886), etc.).

Mathias was born on a cold wintry day in a large midwestern city, with a backdrop of a large river.Birth was hard on mother and child, due to Mathias having a hernia and other issues. Docie, Mathias' mother, loved him and nurtured him through the illnesses.Mathias, as a toddler played, played alone most of the time. While his sisters gathered together, making up games to keep them occupied. Docie surely had her hands full raising seven children alone. Docie struggled to keep them fed and clothed on what little she was able to provide through independent work.As Mathias grew, his mother and sister, Bethany, had to keep watch on him. For he would wander out the door to "go by go", as he put it.A wandering child from the beginning, started his life of journeys; later to become a prayer warrior.Join Mathias on his newest journey, to becoming a prayer warrior.
The first book-length study in English of composer Mathias Spahlinger, one of Germany’s leading practitioners of contemporary music. One of the most stimulating and provocative figures on the new music scene on Germany, he has long been a touchstone for leftist, ‘critical’ composition there, yet his work has received very little attention in Anglophone scholarship until now. Born in 1944, Spahlinger has risen only gradually to prominence in his native Germany and for many years was considered an outsider within the contemporary music scene. Yet, his position as one of the most venerable exponents of post-WWII modernism in his homeland is now undeniable: his music is regularly performed, he has received commissions from many of the major orchestras and new music groups in Germany, and in 2014 he received the Großen Berliner Kunstpreis (Berlin Art Prize – Grand Prize) from the city’s Akademie der Künste (Academy of Arts). Spahlinger is, however, becoming increasingly known as a significant figure within later twentieth-century music – in 2015, a festival in Chicago focused exclusively on his music, and he was a keynote speaker at a conference on Compositional Aesthetics and the Political at Goldsmiths, University of London. This new book provides an essential reference for scholars of new music and twentieth-century modernism. There are no other book-length studies of Spahlinger in English, though there is a monograph and a book of essays in German, and books of interviews. This original work promises a more critical perspective upon the composer and his aesthetics and political ideas compared to previous publications. The illustrations include musical examples. Its primary market will be a specialist musicological readership, including academics, researchers and composers, but the writing style such that it could be accessible also to undergraduates interested in the field. The discussion of aesthetic debates in post-war Germany, and the interesting reading of the work of Jacques Rancière, means that it could also have significant appeal across the disciplines of philosophy and critical theory.
