From the opening of The Louvre to the launch of Tate Modern and beyond, this accessible and succinct publication traces the development of the museum concept - encompassing curatorial, scholarly, political and cultural spheres - and its evolving role within society. In the first section, Schubert looks at the complex history of the museum in specific cities at critical moments, for instance New York between 1930 and 1950 as the Metropolitan Museum of Art expanded and the Museum of Modern Art was founded. The second section focuses on the success and unprecedented development of the museum in the 1980s and 1990s in Europe and the United States, highlighting the need for cities and institutions to revise their programmes in response to a surge of interest in the arts. The final section looks at the museum's predicament nearly a decade after The Curator's Egg was originally published in 2000, exploring the museum's evolution in a post-9/11 environment.

Recounting an art dealer's recuperation from major surgery in the famous Claridge's Hotel in London, this idiosyncratic (and semi-autobiographical) novel interweaves reality with fantasy. Room 225-6 follows the author-character 'The Protagonist' - accompanied by his beloved terrier 'The Bitch' - around London's Mayfair as he hosts endless art world gatherings and tea parties for twenty, and visits a multitude of local galleries and shops. Incorporating multi-layered voices and devices, the distinctive narrative introduces the reader to a memorable host of characters - from the 'The Political Prisoner' to 'The Little Mondrian' - in a tale filled with humour of observation and incident. Bringing to life this frightening yet extraordinary period in one man's life, it is at once honest, satirical, idiotic and bold. Room 225-6 is sold to benefit the Oracle Cancer Trust (oraclecancertrust.org), the UK's leading national charity dedicated to funding head and neck cancer research.

Early Mondrian - Painting 1900-1905 (Paperback): Karsten Schubert Early Mondrian - Painting 1900-1905 (Paperback)

This publication spotlights the celebrated modern artist Piet Mondrian's early career, a prolific period that saw the artist focus on figurative landscape painting. Primarily made during the artist's time in Amsterdam at the turn of the twentieth century, Mondrian's dense, small-scale paintings depict the surrounding Dutch landscape - notably irrigation ditches, canals and farm buildings. The compositions are characterised by complex interactions of light and dark planes, which the artist forms through thick, pigmented strokes of green and brown paint. Marking the last decade of the artist's engagement with figurative painting, Mondrian's exploration of the interrelationships between colour and space during this period forms the basis for his subsequent abstract works, whilst reflecting the artist's lifelong interest in nature.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Ingenieurwissenschaften - Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen, Note: 1,3, Technische Universitat Berlin (Institut fur Energietechnik), 90 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In elektrischen Versorgungssystemen muss die Leistungserzeugung jederzeit dem Leistungsbedarf entsprechen. Daher wird ein entsprechend ausgerichteter Kraftwerkspark unterhalten, der es ermoglicht, auf Lastanderungen der Verbraucherseite mit den notwendigen Leistungsanderungen auf der Erzeugerseite zu reagieren. Bei unerwarteten Schwankungen ist kurzfristig Regelenergie einsetzbar, um Abweichungen zu kompensieren. Ebenso wie Lastanderungen auf der Verbraucherseite stellt die fluktuierende Einspeisung aus erneuerbaren Energietragern ins Stromnetz auf der Erzeugerseite ein Problem dar. Das schwankende Dargebot von Wind und Sonneneinstrahlung fuhrt dazu, dass die zu erwartende elektrische Leistung, die aus diesen alternativen Energien erzeugt wird, im Voraus nicht genau bestimmt werden kann. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit besteht darin, das Potenzial des Lastmanagements als Ersatz fur Regelenergiekraftwerke abzuschatzen. Lastmanagement wird bisher vor allem zur Verstetigung des Leistungsbedarfs innerhalb von Unternehmen oder Verteilungsnetzen verwendet. Zur Nutzung als Regelenergie sind zum Teil technische und organisatorische Veranderungen im Bereich der Stromversorgung notwendig. Vor allem gilt dies fur Haushaltsgerate, da dort zusatzliche technische Einbauten notwendig sind, die eine effiziente Beteiligung am Lastmanagement ermoglichen. Eine vollstandige Umsetzung des Lastmanagements wird in diesen Fallen erst mit dem schrittweisen Austausch der Altgerate moglich. Um dieser Entwicklung Rechnung zu tragen, erstreckt sich der Zeithorizont der vorliegenden Untersuchung auf die kommenden 15 Jahre.
