Crooked Creek (Paperback): Maximilian Werner Crooked Creek (Paperback)

Crooked Creek follows the lives and deaths of the Wood family. Having fled Arizona to escape involvement in the plunder and sale of stolen Native American antiquities, the family seeks support in Heber Valley, Utah. But from the moment Preston and Sara Wood ride into that seemingly idyllic valley, they learn that life there is not as it appears, and no matter how far they run they cannot escape the past. Crooked Creek is a warning to us all that we will live or die by virtue of the stories we tell about ourselves, the Earth, and our true place within the web of life.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Musikwissenschaft, Note: 1,0, Technische Universitat Carolo-Wilhelmina zu Braunschweig (Historisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Die Geschichte des Dings, Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Zusatzliche Fotos zur Veranschaulichung., Abstract: Die Gitarre ist ein Instrument, das seit dem Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts eine immer grosser werde Rolle in der Instrumentenwelt eingenommen hat. In vielen Musikbereichen hat sie ihren Platz gefunden und ist nicht nur in klassischen Stucken zu finden, sondern verkorpert besonders in der Rockmusik ein Ideal von Freiheit und Selbstverwirklichung. Doch was wissen wir eigentlich uber die Gitarre an sich? Die Gitarre gibt es in vielen Variationen, ahnlich dem Klavier, das weiterentwickelt als Orgel, Keyboard, Synthesizer und E-Piano wiederzufinden ist, aber in seiner ursprunglichen Form immer noch weit verbreitet ist. Gitarren treten auf beispielsweise als klassische Konzertgitarre, mit der viele Gitarrenschuler zu lernen anfangen, als Westerngitarre, wie man sie von Johnny Cash kennt, oder als elektrische Gitarre, die in der Rock- und Metal-Szene nicht mehr wegzudenken ist. Der Ursprung der Gitarre oder der Streich- und Zupfinstrumente liegt uber drei Jahrtausende zuruck, im Raum Vorderasiens und Agyptens . Schon in der Zeit der Babylonier wurde gitarrenahnliche Instrumente mit Klangkorper und Saiten gespielt, die im dritten Jahrhundert vor Christus in ahnlicher Form in Agypten nachgewiesen werden konnen. Zur selben Zeit tauchten in Griechenland und im Romischen Reich die Kitharas" auf, die von den Arabern dann im achten und neunten Jahrhundert nach Christus nach Spanien und somit nach Europa gebracht wurden und sich dort uber unzahlige Erscheinungen zur heutigen Gitarre entwickelten . In Fachliteratur lasst sich viel uber die Laute und die heutige Gitarre finden - welchen genauen Ursprungen sie jedoch entstammen, das liegt im Dunkeln. ...] Diese Arbeit soll versuchen die technischen Entw

Gravity Hill - A Memoir (Paperback): Maximilian Werner Gravity Hill - A Memoir (Paperback)
Maximilian Werner
R565 Discovery Miles 5 650 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

"The sound of parenthood is the sigh." So begins Gravity Hill, written from the perspective of a new father seeking hope, beauty, and meaning in an uncertain world. Many memoirs recount the authors' experiences of growing up and struggling with their demons; Werner's shows how old demons sometimes return on the heels of something as beautiful as children. Werner's memoir is about growing up, getting old, looking back, and wondering what lies ahead-a process that becomes all the more complicated and intense when parenting is involved. Moving backward and forward between past, present, and future, Gravity Hill does not delineate time so much as collapse it. Werner narrates his struggle growing up in suburban Utah as a non-Mormon and what it took for him, his siblings, and his friends to feel like they belonged. Bonding in separation, they indulged in each other, in natural and urban landscapes, and sometimes in the destructive behaviors that are the native resort of outsiders- promiscuous and occasionally violent sexual behavior and for some, paths to death and suicide. Gravity Hill is the story of the author's descent into and eventual emergence from his dysfunction into life. Infused with humor, honesty, and reflection, this literary memoir will resonate with readers young and old. Those in their teens and twenties may see themselves or someone they know reflected in its pages, but so may many readers who have pondered the meaning of their earlier risky lives.
