Klara bekommt vom geheimnisvollen Patenonkel Drosselmeyer am Weihnachtsabend einen Nussknacker geschenkt. In der folgenden Nacht hat sie einen merkwürdigen Traum: Der Nussknacker kämpft gegen das Heer des bösen Mausekönigs. Doch dann verwandelt er sich in einen hübschen Prinzen und tanzt mit Klara im Land der Süßigkeiten. Das weltbekannte Märchenballett von Peter Tschaikowsky ist hier unterhaltsam erzählt. Durch die abwechslungsreiche Lesung mit vielen musikalischen Höhepunkten wird die Handlung verständlich.

Mit freudigem Brüllen eröffnet der Löwe das Musikspektakel, das Eichhörnchen schwingt den Taktstock und die Hühner können es kaum erwarten, ihren einstudierten Gesang vorzutragen.

Tapfer ertragen die Gäste das Vogelgezeter und feiern am Abend alle gemeinsam ein buntes Musiksommerfest. Die fröhliche Musikfantasie von Camille Saint-Saëns ist hier mit viel Humor erzählt.

World War II was a media war. President Franklin D. Roosevelt used the press to a great extent, of course, but as the war progressed, the media also came to influence commanders' decisions on the battlefield. The Media Offensive offers a new way to understand military-media relations during World War II. The press and public opinion shaped not only how the conflict was seen but also how it was fought. In what could be called "the new history of war reporting," the focus is switched from how the military controlled reporters to how military decisions were shaped by the press.

Leo MacGavin is not the brightest specimen of humanity, but when he inadvertently rescues a flirty alien heiress, he’s promoted from second-rate lounge entertainer to captain of the galaxy’s most sophisticated cruise ship. Before he can flee in terror, a human-hating executive gives Leo an ultimatum: complete the vessel’s maiden voyage or mankind’s last colony will be turned into a sewage dump. To make matters worse, a militant cyborg is undermining his authority, a giant spider is terrifying the passengers, and a sentient plant keeps stealing all the beer.

In this unconventional memoir, Jonathan Alexander addresses wry and affecting missives to a conflicted younger self. Focusing on three years—1989, 1993, and 1996—Dear Queer Self follows the author through the homophobic heights of the AIDS epidemic, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the election of Bill Clinton, and the steady advancements in gay rights that followed. With humor and wit afforded by hindsight, Alexander relives his closeted college years, his experiments with his sexuality in graduate school, his first marriage to a woman, and his budding career as a professor.

Transcribed from the original lectures recorded at San Francisco State University in 1987, The Nature of Drugs series highlights Shulgin’s engaging lecture style peppered with illuminating anecdotes and amusing asides. Ostensibly taught as an introductory course on drugs and biochemistry, these books serve as both a historical record of Shulgin’s teaching style and the culmination of his philosophy on drugs, psychopharmacology, states of consciousness, and societal and individual freedoms pertaining to their use, both medicinal and exploratory.

Non una storia del fascismo e del nazismo, bensì un bilancio puntuale dei tratti che li apparentarono, e delle singolarità rispettive. Grande attenzione è data anche al parallelo sul governo dell'economia, incluse l'agricoltura, l'autarchia e la mobilitazione economica; al rapporto dei due regimi con la cultura e la società, al rispettivo grado di consenso, infine al modo in cui nazismo e fascismo affrontarono la sfida della guerra. L'autore reca un utile contributo conoscitivo sui caratteri del totalitarismo di destra.
