Download or read book Louis Horst written by Janet Mansfield Soares and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From his musical beginnings as a piano player in gambling houses and society cafés, Louis Horst (1884-1964) became one of the chief architects of modern dance in the twentieth century. How a musician untrained in dance came to make such a mark is told here for the first time in rich detail. At the center of this story is Horst's relationship with Martha Graham, who was his intimate for decades. "I did everything for Martha," Horst said late in life. Indeed, as her lover, ally, and lifelong confidante, he worked with such conviction to make her the undisputed dance leader in the concert world that Graham herself would later remark: "Without him I could not have achieved anything I have done." Drawing on the conversation and writings of Horst and his colleagues, Janet Mansfield Soares reveals the inner workings of this passionate commitment and places it firmly in the context of dance history. Horst emerges from these pages as a man of extraordinary personality and multifaceted talent: a composer whose dance scores, such as the one for Graham's Primitive Mysteries, became models for many who followed; a concert pianist for American dancers such as Doris Humphrey and Helen Tamiris, as well as their German counterparts; an editor and writer whose advocacy for American dance made him a leading critic of his time; and, above all, a teacher and mentor whose work at the Neighborhood Playhouse, the Bennington School of Dance, American Dance Festival, and Juilliard helped shape generations of dancers and choreographers. Richly illustrated, sensitive to intimate detail and historical nuance, this comprehensive biography reveals the raison d'etre underlying Horst's theories and practices, offering a wealth of insight into the development of dance as an art form under his virtually unchallenged rule.

Book excerpt: Previously unpublished documents in archives in Europe and the USA show how Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service showed a insensitive disregard for its former agents murdered in German concentration campsA callous disregard by recruiting the Gestapo major responsible for their deaths as a consultant in Britain’s own post-war counter espionage activities against Soviet agentsResearch that shows not only how Britain recruited Kopkow, but also protected him from prosecution as a war criminalHistorically rich in detail with photographs of many of the characters involved On 27 May 1942, SS-General Reinhard Heydrich was assassinated by Czech agents who were trained in the UK and dropped by parachute into Czechoslovakia. Heydrich succumbed to his wounds on 4 June 1942. Two days later, Gestapo Captain Horst Kopkow’s department at Reich National Security headquarters was given fresh orders. From 6 June 1942 until the end of the war, Kopkow was responsible for co-ordinating the fight against Soviet and British agents dropped in Germany or German-occupied territories. This new direction for Kopkow made his name. Within months, the ‘Rote Kapelle’ Soviet espionage ring was uncovered in Belgium whose traces went directly to Berlin and Paris. A new counter-espionage war began and agents caught would pay with their lives. In France and Holland, the Gestapo caught many SOE agents trained in Britain. By spring 1944, around 150 British agents had been deported to concentration camps. By December 1944, almost all had been murdered without trial and Kopkow was directly involved in these murders. Arrested by British forces after the war, Kopkow was extensively interrogated due to his counter-espionage experience. For the next 20 years, Kopkow was a consultant for Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service. 39 black-and-white photographs

Download or read book The semi aquatic freshwater earthworms of the genus Glyphidrilus Horst 1889 from Thailand Oligochaeta Almidae with re descriptions of several species written by Ratmanee Chanabun and published by PenSoft Publishers LTD. This book was released on 2012-02-06 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten new species of semi-aquatic earthworm genus Glyphidrilus Horst, 1889 are described from several river systems in Thailand. The earthworms were all found at a depth of 5?15 cm from the surface in wet top soil and usually near casts. The worms excrete casts on the soil surface by locating the tails up to the soil surface while the heads go down to deeper soils. They have the peculiar expanded epidermis at about clitellum position called ?wings? which function is still unknown. They produce long cocoons wich locate vertically in the soil in the same places as the worms. One cocoon produces 7-10 juveniles. All the ten new described species appear to be highly endemic to particular watershed with very little range overlap between them, and most are confined to a small region. The lowland paddy systems in Thailand have been colonized by some species of Glyphidrilus, where they occur in the rice paddy throughout the propagation period (wet season) from planting of the seedlings to post harvest (dry season). The worms did well in areas of organic farming and so are likely to be sensitive to modern agrochemical contamination of the environment.

Download or read book As Above So Below A Hermann Horst Mystery written by Ingram Hargrave and published by Daegbrecan Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-05 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reader’s Favorite 5-Star Review Seal Recipient “This book sucks you right into the pages and you become an invisible participant in the action.” “A fantastic read! Ingram Hargrave has produced a masterful historical mystery with his debut novel.” “I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to fans of suspense and intrigue everywhere.” “Fascinating characters. Wonderfully well written.” Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie’s classic murder mysteries, Vienna Blood by Frank Tallis, The Cloisters by Katy Hays, and followers of William Kent Krueger. At twenty-eight, Hermann Horst is the youngest professor of philosophy to grace the marble corridors and richly paneled lecture halls of Austria-Hungary’s esteemed University of Vienna. The charismatic young professor’s success has been driven in part by personal tragedy: the mysterious death of his only sister. Her fatal obsession with divination and the occult has placed Hermann on a course to scientifically and logically explain the psychology of the occult and those who believe in supernatural powers. The university affords Hermann the resources needed for his research, albeit under the guise of his sanctioned academic coursework. When a letter arrives from Senior Inspector Orczy Géza of the Budapest Gendarme asking for Hermann’s help in a murder investigation, Hermann jumps at the opportunity to put his research into practice. The investigation centers on Schattenturm, Shadow Tower in German, an extravagant Neo-Gothic estate built atop the ruins of a medieval fortress. The body of the estate’s gardener was found with an ancient war hammer lodged in the back of his skull, at the center of the swirling maze that surrounds the castle’s mausoleum. Géza’s investigation has been stalled by superstition surrounding the castle: a legend that ghosts and the devil are at work to drive out the family who recently acquired Schattenturm. A convenient story to assist a murderer perhaps, but one that has derailed Géza’s efforts all the same. Géza is a no-nonsense veteran of conflicts in Bosnia, but he’s at his limit with this investigation and he’ll have to learn to trust and confide in Hermann’s mentalist methods and knowledge of the occult if the investigation, and his career, are to be saved. The current owners of Schattenturm, the Baum family, acquired the castle under unscrupulous circumstances after establishing a coal mine in the town nearby that exploits the locals and robs the countryside of its peace and beauty. The displaced aristocratic owners, the von Voitsbergs, are still very much a factor in the estate’s realm. Hundreds of years of ownership and rule over the area are not easily forgotten, nor has the loss of their dark romantic home been amicably accepted. A handful of long-term servants know everyone’s secrets and are willing to take them to the grave, though not necessarily to their own. What lies beneath the black stones of Schattenturm, from the catacombs of the von Voitsberg crypt to terrible acts kept secret for decades, has destroyed lives. The secrets uncovered and the nature of the victim will shake Hermann and the readers, forcing them to question the morality of murder itself and whether some crimes should ever be forgiven.
