In the nineteenth century, Manhattan's streets were so choked with pedestrians, horses, vehicles, and vendors that a trip from City Hall to Central Park could take hours. Alfred Beach had the perfect solution: build a giant pneumatic tube underneath Broadway from the Battery to Harlem. Air pressure would shoot passengers up and down the island in clean, quiet carriages. But Beach was up against the operators of the horse-drawn streetcars and the politicians in their pay, most conspicuously William M. Tweed, the notorious "Boss" of Tammany Hall.

As with The Prophet, Sand and Foam was not only a success on initial publication but was also a must read for many of those in the counter-culture scene in the sixties. John Lennon even borrowed a couplet, with a slight alteration, for his famed song 'Julia'.

Since the late '70s, histories of rock music have either ignored or marginalized the progressive rock era. In part, this has occurred because rock music criticism has taken an almost completely sociological turn, with little or no interest in musical form itself. In Listening to the Future, Bill Martin argues that it is a musical and political mistake to ignore this period of tremendous creativity, a period that still finds resonance in rock music today.

The Show That Never Ends is the behind-the-scenes story of the extraordinary rise and fall of progressive ("prog") rock, epitomized by such classic, chart-topping bands as Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, and Emerson Lake & Palmer, and their successors Rush, Styx, and Asia. With inside access to all the key figures, Washington Post national reporter David Weigel tells the story with the gusto and insight prog rock's fans (and its haters) will relish.

Kahlil Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu. Sand and Foam is a book of aphorisms, poems, and parables by the author of The Prophet - a philosopher at his window commenting on the scene passing below. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In modern Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero.

Eine Western-Parodie mit Spaß-Garantie. Bela B hat aus seinen drei Leidenschaften Spaghetti-Western, Musik und Comics eine einzige gemacht und damit ein mitreißendes Hörspiel-Spektakel kreiert. Zusammen mit Sängerin Peta Devlin, Rainer Brandt und Stefan Kaminski bringt er den Kultfilm Sartana mit handgemachten Geräuschen zu Gehör und beweist, warum die schlechtesten Sprüche im Italo-Western einfach immer die besten sind.

Sie nannte ihn den "Kleinen", er sah in ihr seinen "Engel" - die Schriftstellerin George Sand und der Komponist Frederic Chopin...

Diese surreale Komödie spielt an einem unheimlichen Ort. Es könnte ein Altenheim für betagte Künstler sein, wenn nur nicht die Unterkunft mehr einem Gefängnis ähnelte. Oder befinden sich die Alten etwa doch in einer Irrenanstalt, in der sie ihre Phantasmen scheinbar grenzenlos ausleben können? Der sinnliche, mal witzige, mal melancholische Dialog nimmt am Ende eine überraschende Wende.
