INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER! An album-by-album celebration of the life and music of Mac Miller through oral histories, intimate reflections, and critical examinations of his enduring work.“One of my most vivid memories of him is the way he would look at you while he was playing you a song. He tried to look you right in the eyes to see how you were feeling about it.” —Will Kalson, friend and first manager Following Mac Miller’s tragic passing in 2018, Donna-Claire Chesman dedicated a year to chronicling his work through the unique lens of her relationship to the music and Mac’s singular relationship to his fans. Like many who’d been following him since he’d started releasing mixtapes at eighteen years old, she felt as if she’d come of age alongside the rapidly evolving artist, with his music being crucial to her personal development. “I want people to remember his humanity as they’re listening to the music, to realize how much bravery and courage it takes to be that honest, be that self-aware, and be that real about things going on internally. He let us witness that entire journey. He never hid that.” —Kehlani, friend and musician. The project evolved to include intimate interviews with many of Mac’s closest friends and collaborators, from his Most Dope Family in Pittsburgh to the producers and musicians who assisted him in making his everlasting music, including Big Jerm, Rex Arrow, Wiz Khalifa, Benjy Grinberg, Just Blaze, Josh Berg, Syd, Thundercat, and more. These voices, along with the author’s commentary, provide a vivid and poignant portrait of this astonishing artist—one who had just released a series of increasingly complex albums, demonstrating what a musical force he was and how heartbreaking it was to lose him. “As I’m reading the lyrics, it’s crazy. It’s him telling us that he hopes we can always respect him. I feel like this is a message from him, spiritually. A lot of the time, his music was like little letters and messages to his friends, family, and people he loved, to remind them of who he really was.” —Quentin Cuff, best friend and tour manager.

What defines a woman? Is it the tone of her voice, or the small of her back? Does her ability to self-sacrifice come into play? DONNA is a deeply-emotional poetry collection that explores the themes of womanhood, manhood, and spirituality. It's divided into three chapters: Sex refers to the sex-based oppression that all women suffer from.Wisdom represents the life lessons gained from growing into a fully-matured woman.Servitude relates to the author's spirituality and submitting to a higher power.
Geschichten und Gedichte lesen bringt echt etwas und ist bei jungen Leuten wieder "in". Die rund 50 Texte in diesem Buch zeigen dies jungen und jung gebliebenen Lesern auf höchst unterhaltsame Weise. Sie handeln von alltäglichen Ereignissen und drehen sich um Begebenheiten in der Familie und in der Schule. Sie erzählen von wahren Erlebnissen mit Tieren und schildern Beobachtungen in der Umwelt. Sensationelles wird ebenso berichtet, wie unscheinbare Geschehnisse. Die Texte informieren über das Leben berühmter Leute, aber auch über jenes von unbekannten Menschen. Manches wirkt eigenartig und enthüllt seinen Sinn erst bei genauerem Hinsehen. Eines ist jedoch allen Beiträgen gemeinsam: sie regen zum Nachdenken an und laden ein, miteinander darüber ins Gespräch zu kommen. Der Autor Alfons Schweiggert wird häufig eingeladen, in Schulen zu lesen. Viele der vorliegenden Texte wurden durch Gespräche mit Jugendlichen angeregt. Das Buch enthält insbesondere auch eine Auswahl jener Beiträge, nach denen bei den Leseveranstaltungen immer wieder gefragt wird.

Donna Haraway: Live Theory

Donna Haraway: Live Theory is an invaluable introduction to the work of this key contemporary theorist and critic. Concise, accessible and comprehensive, it locates Haraway in the context of post-Vietnam US academic life, drawing out the roots of her political and intellectual concerns. The book makes clear the extent of her impact on the understanding of the relationship between 'nature' and 'culture', and how this played no small part in shaping the discipline of cultural studies. In particular, the book explores and illuminates the 'feminist science studies' that emerged from her writing, and her ongoing contribution to it, including the groundbreaking essays on the cyborg and situated knowledge. Haraway's identification of science and technology as being closely entwined with global capitalism is discussed in detail, as is her call for a new form of science that is resistant to any captialist imperative. The book includes a new interview with Haraway herself, in which she discusses the key themes in her work and likely and possible future directions. Donna Haraway: Live Theory is a key resource for anyone studying this pioneering thinker within the context of sociology, cultural studies and science studies.
