The following pages contain the substance of a few discourses, delivered in the ordinary course of my ministrations to my congregation, and also at two special meetings. It need scarcely be said that their aim is not a systematic or exhaustive treatment of the subject, but to suggest some thoughts which may be helpful to the reader in his view of Scripture, as related to Christ and to the Holy Spirit. Greenwich, March, 1867
Adolph Sutro was forever seeking challenges. Emigrating from Prussia to the U.S. at age 20, the California gold rush lured him west. At the Comstock Lode in Nevada, he conceived an idea for a tunnel to drain the hot water that made the mines perilous and inefficient. But he would have to overcome both physical obstacles and powerful opposition by the Bank of California to realize his vision. Back in San Francisco, Sutro bought one twelfth of the city, including the famous Cliff House perched over the Pacific Ocean. When it burned to cinders on Christmas Day, 1894, he built a massive, eight-story Victorian replacement. He used his expertise in tunneling and water solutions to create the world's largest enclosed swimming structure, the Sutro Baths--six glass-covered heated saltwater pools with capacity of 1,000 swimmers. Other challenges followed but Sutro was not invincible. After a two-year term as mayor of San Francisco, he succumbed to debilitating strokes which left him senile. His death in 1898 started disputes among his heirs--six children by his wife and two by his mistress--that lasted more than a decade.

A career-spanning monograph on a key member of the “first generation” of Abstract Expressionists American artist Adolph Gottlieb (1903–74) was a central figure of the New York School of art from its very beginnings in the 1930s. The Pictograph paintings that he began making in 1941 are among the earliest examples of American artists creating work on a par with European modernists while establishing a distinct identity. His art has been the subject of 25 solo museum exhibitions, nationally and internationally, and is in the collections of over 145 museums. Adolph Gottlieb: A Powerful Will to Art is a career-spanning monograph on the artist. It contains an original essay by James Lawrence, which traces Gottlieb’s career within the context of his contemporaries, as well as the traditions of Western painting, and offers new insights into this important artist’s contributions to his field. The beautifully clothbound volume reproduces 200 of Gottlieb’s paintings covering the range of his career, showing his evolution from a 1926 self-portrait through the beginnings of the New York School and ending with his last major paintings in 1973. The book also contains a lavishly illustrated chronology of the artist’s career that draws from the archives of the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation.

Adolph von Henselt (1814-1889) wurde zum Konzertpianisten ausgebildet und ging erfolgreich auf Tournee, so dass er neben Sigismund Thalberg und Franz Liszt zu den drei grossen Klaviervirtuosen des 19. Jahrhunderts gezahlt wurde. Nach seiner UEbersiedlung nach Russland gab er in den Salons des Adels von St. Petersburg Konzerte. Eigene Kompositionen, Bearbeitungen fremder Werke und UEbungsliteratur machten ihn weithin bekannt. Henselts System und Organisation der Klavierpadagogik pragten die russische Pianistenausbildung, und uber seine "Enkelschuler" Sergej Rahmaninov, Aleksandr Skrabin usw. ist er bis heute prasent. Fur seine grossen Verdienste wurde er vom russischen Kaiser geadelt. Henselts Leben, Werk und Nachwirkung sind hier erstmalig monographisch aufgearbeitet.
Adolph von Elm war Tabakarbeiter, Gewerkschaftsvorsitzender, Genossenschaftsgr nder, SPD-Reichstagsabgeordneter, F hrer des Hamburger Hafenarbeiterstreiks 1896-97 und Generaldirektor der 'Volksf rsorge'-Lebensversicherung. Er war Mitbegr nder der Generalkommission der Gewerkschaften Deutschlands, Vorl ufer des heutigen DGB. "Sein Name ist unaustilgbar mit der Geschichte der deut-schen Gewerkschaften und Genossenschaften wie der Partei verkn pft." schrieb das Correspondenzblatt der Generalkommission der Gewerkschaften Deutschlands anl sslich seines Todes 1916. Und der langj hrige Vorsitzender dieser Generalkommission, Carl Legien, schrieb in seinem Nachruf auf von Elm: "Die gewerkschaftliche Bewegung Deutschlands und auch die internationale Gewerkschaftsbewegung hat sich nach den Grunds tzen, die er f r sie aufgestellt hatte, entwickelt. Es klingt sonderbar, dass ein einzelner Mann einer gewaltigen Kulturbewegung die Richtschnur gegeben haben soll. Und doch ist es historische Wahrheit."
