From the pretty villages, rural byways and bustling market towns of Essex come ten of the most dramatic and tragic murder cases in British history. Brutality, passion, jealousy, greed and moments of inexplicable rage have led to violent and horrifying deaths and, sometimes, the killers expiation of the crime on the scaffold.This chilling follow-up to Essex Murders brings together more true cases, dating between 1823 and 1960, that shocked not only the county but also made headline news across the nation. They include the extraordinary events resulting from the obsession of a young farmers daughter with a married man twice her age, the bloody killing of a police sergeant, a murder carried out in the depths of Epping Forest, the Dutch au pair found dead in a ditch, and a case that made criminal history in which the accused said he had strangled the victim while he was asleep. Linda Stratmanns well-illustrated and enthralling text will appeal to everyone interested in true crime and the shadier side of Essexs past.

La parabola della pallacanestro americana secondo uno dei giornalisti piu irriverenti e rispettati del mondo sportivo. Una riflessione su come il basket americano abbia scelto, per convenienza, marketing e denaro, una strada legata quasi esclusivamente alla potenza e allatletismo a discapito di gioco di squadra, tecnica, creativita. Un amore, quello di Sergio, per lNBA a un certo punto tradito da altre logiche, da dinamiche di spettacolo, lontane da quello che lui considera pallacanestro. Il racconto dei leggendari Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, ma anche il razzismo, Malcolm X, il marketing, la fisicita che soffoca la tecnica in un gioco che non riesce piu a riconoscere.

Timeless sculptures between presence and absence an insight into the unique artistic world of Walter MoroderWalter Moroder is one of the most distinctive sculptors of our time. His life-size figures, which refuse any imitation of human existence, embody a state of waiting, silence, and stillness creating a powerful interplay of presence and absence. This monograph presents, for the first time, a comprehensive overview of more than three decades of his artistic career. Structured into 16 chapters and enriched with large-format images, it allows readers to experience the depth and uniqueness of Moroders work. Book Highlights: Comprehensive monograph covering 30 years of artistic creation Life-size sculptures of existential intensity 16 chapters offering a clear overview and art-historical context Large-format illustrations and sophisticated book design A must-have volume for collectors, art lovers, and anyone fascinated by the power of contemporary sculpture.Markus Klammer is an editor, art critic, and curator of numerous exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, with publications and texts on Heinz Gappmayr, Remy Zaugg, Gerhard Merz, Michele Bernardi, Hugo Vallazza (selection). Hatje Cantz published his monograph on Gianpietro Carlesso in 2014. Markus Klammer lives and works in Bolzano (Italy).Walter Moroder (born 1963) comes from a renowned family of sculptors in Val Gardena (Italy). During his training, he went through all the stages of the regions craft and artistic tradition, only to leave them behind after studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich (graduating in 1988) and making a decisive decision about his future direction. His sculptural exploration of the forms of the human body confirms his affinity for classical sculpture, but in conjunction with a decidedly postmodern visual thinking that goes beyond figurative, abstract, or neo-expressive conventions.
