The first-ever volume of the photographs of German writer W.G.
Sebald, exquisitely designed to shed new light on his creative
process, as it chronicles the images and encounters that shaped his
writing life. Shadows of Reality presents a unique, fully
illustrated catalogue of W.G. Sebald's photographs- an
extraordinary combination of film negatives, prints, and slides
from the University of East Anglia's photographic collection, the
Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach, and the Sebald Estate.
Complementing the exhibition Lines of Sight- W.G. Sebald's East
Anglia and edited by literary scholar Clive Scott and photography
curator Nick Warr, this wonderfully comprehensive book covers the
multiple photographic facets of Sebald's published work and
includes a substantial amount of material that has not been made
public before. Introduced by Nick Warr, who offers an intriguing
overview of the author's critical relationship to photography,
Shadows of Reality also includes an illuminating interview with
Michael Brandon-Jones, the photographer who collaborated with
Sebald on all of his publications. The book features a collection
of extracts-principally on photography-from interviews with Sebald
himself, bequeathed to the archive of recordings held at the
University of East Anglia by his close friend Gordon Turner, who
also provides a memoir. Accompanying these are inspired essays by
Clive Scott and Angela Breidbach on Sebald's
writing-with-photographs and the complex and mercurial interactions
of those photographs with narrative design. A deeply important
collection for anyone interested in Sebald's creative processes or
the ways in which photography might serve fiction, Shadows of
Reality is an inexhaustible treasure trove of new discoveries and
revelations about the cherished international author.

Diterpenoids are chemical compounds containing 20 carbon atoms and
belong to the terpenoid class. They derive from geranylgeraniol, a
C20 precursor, have a C20H32 basic structure, and are composed of
four isoprene units. These features make diterpenoids different
from simple terpenes, which possess only 10 carbon atoms. A
diterpenoid molecule may also include alcohol, phenol, aldehyde,
cheton, or acidic functional groups. These compounds are highly
lipophilic, odorless, and may possess strong flavours. They are
found mainly in fungi and in resins of higher-order plants, as
typical products of plant metabolism. This book examines the types,
functions and provides new research on diterpenoids.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the

The evocative prose and poetry of "Moments and More" artfully
intertwines thematic essays on Art, Beauty, Magic, Philosophy, and
Matters of the Heart with insightful poetry focused on the
examination of personally, profound moments that shaped and
re-directed the author's life perspective. These moments, first
frozen in prose, poetically explode into sharp insight that
penetrates both heart and mind. Both the author's prose and poetry
speak to those who value intellectually and spiritually exploring
that which defines each of us. It spotlights love lost and gained,
dreams envisioned and realized, laughter found and tears wiped
away. It laments the destructive power of abuse, yet it cheers the
healing power of forgiveness. "Moments and More" gently asks the
reader to consider cultural concepts that collectively define us,
but, more significantly, it exemplifies personal philosophical and
spiritual thinking that specifically speaks to examining and better
understanding our individual selves. "Moments and More," a
contemplative flight through the abstract realm of philosophical
thought, utilizes the author's profound moments as touchstones to
ground us. More deeply, though, the illuminated moments reveal one
man's poignant discoveries on his personal path toward
enlightenment, discoveries suggesting he has come far, but still
has a ways to go.
