In 1971, French jazz critics Philippe Carles and Jean-Louis Comolli co-wrote "Free Jazz/Black Power," a treatise on the racial and political implications of jazz and jazz criticism. It remains a testimony to the long ignored encounter of radical African American music and French left-wing criticism. Carles and Comolli set out to defend a genre vilified by jazz critics on both sides of the Atlantic by exposing the new sound's ties to African American culture, history, and the political struggle that was raging in the early 1970s. The two offered a political and cultural history of black presence in the United States to shed more light on the dubious role played by jazz criticism in racial oppression.

This analysis of jazz criticism and its production is astutely self-aware. It critiques the critics, building a work of cultural studies in a time and place where the practice was virtually unknown. The authors reached radical conclusions--free jazz was a revolutionary reaction against white domination, was the musical counterpart to the Black Power movement, and was a music that demanded a similar political commitment. The impact of this book is difficult to overstate, as it made readers reconsider their response to African American music. In some cases it changed the way musicians thought about and played jazz. "Free Jazz / Black Power" remains indispensable to the study of the relation of American free jazz to European audiences, critics, and artists. This monumental critique caught the spirit of its time and also realigned that zeitgeist.

Der habilitierte Physiker Philipp Carl (1837-1891) hegte grosses Interesse fur Astronomie und verwirklichte sich auch beruflich in diesem Bereich, als er begann, bei der Sternwarte in Bogenhausen zu arbeiten, sich der Herstellung von astronomischen Instrumenten zu widmen und Schriften zu verfassen. 1864 erschien im Zuge dessen das vorliegende Werk, das sich mit der Kometen-Astronomie seiner Zeit beschaftigt und eine Ubersicht uber die bis dato entdeckten Kometen erteilt. Dabei beschreibt er diese umfassend, gibt tabellarisch Einsicht in die Elemente der Bahnen, auf denen die Kometen sich bewegen und belegt erfolgte Beobachtungen mit exakten Daten.
