Auguste Rodin (Lives Of The Artists Ser.)
by Rainer Maria Rilke William H. Gass Michael Eastman Daniel SlagerSculptor Auguste Rodin was fortunate to have his secretary Rainer Maria Rilke, one of the most sensitive poets of our time. These two pieces discussing Rodin¢s work and development as an artist are as revealing of Rilke as they are of his subject. Written in 1902 and 1907, these essays mark the entry of the poet into the world of letters. Rilke¢s description of Rodin reveals the profound psychic connection between the two great artists, both masters of giving visible life to the invisible. Michael Eastman¢ evocative photographs of Rodin¢s sculptures shed light on both Rodin¢s art and Rilke¢s thoughts and catapult them into the 21st century.
Auguste Rodin (Dover Fine Art, History of Art)
by Rainer Maria RilkeDuring the early 1900s, the great German poet lived and worked in Paris with Auguste Rodin. In a work as revealing of its author as it is of his famous subject, Rainer Maria Rilke examines Rodin's life and work, and explains the often elusive connection between the creative forces that drive timeless literature and great art.Rilke served for several years as Rodin's secretary — living in the sculptor's workshops, watching the shaping of his creations, and discussing his views and ideas. Written in 1903 and 1907, these essays about the master's work and development as an artist mark Rilke's entry into the world of letters. Rodin himself paid the poet the ultimate tribute, declaring these meditations the supreme interpretation of his work. This excellent translation, complemented by 33 illustrations, will fascinate students of literature, philosophy, and art history.

Augusta's WGAC Radio: The Voice of the Garden City for Seventy Years
by Debra Reddin van Tuyll Scott HudsonWGAC is the No. 1-rated radio station in Augusta. It has weathered the transition in American radio from local stations with local programming to corporately owned stations that feature syndicated programming, and it has been able to do so without giving up its local character. As a news-talk radio station today, WGAC is the first place most Augustans go to find out what is happening nationally and locally, and its morning drive-time and afternoon drive-time show hosts and news personnel are some of the most beloved and respected media figures in Augusta. This book will trace the history of this community landmark from its infancy to its status today as a community institution.

Augusta and Aiken in Golf's Golden Age (Images of Sports)
by Stan Byrdy Augusta Mayor YoungThe game of golf got its start in the Southeastern United States in 1892 on four holes with sand greens at Palmetto Golf Club in Aiken, South Carolina. Within five years, Palmetto had expanded to eighteen holes and the first nine-hole course in neighboring Augusta, Georgia was designed at the Hotel Bon Air. For half a century, the Augusta-Aiken area flourished as the winter destination of choice for the rich, famous, and powerful in America. Presidents Taft, Harding, and Eisenhower vacationed here. Baseball great Ty Cobb bought a home in Augusta's quaint Summerville neighborhood. It was here that Bobby Jones began the improbable journey towards a Grand Slam, then built his dream golf course. By the turn of the century, winter tourism and grand resort hotels in the Augusta-Aiken area were well established. A favorable winter climate and easy rail access drew vacationers to Highland Park Hotel (1866), Willcox Hotel (1898), and Park in the Pines (1900) in Aiken; Hotel Bon Air (1890) and Partridge Inn (1913) in Augusta; and Hampton Terrace Hotel and Golf Club (1903) in North Augusta. Resorts in Florida and the growth of the air travel industry later coupled to mark the area's decline in winter tourism, but not before Augusta-Aiken's place in golf history was secure. In this unique volume, vintage images and accompanying text recall the unfo rgettable legends, the meticulously maintained courses, and all of the grandeur associated with the game.
Augusta Surviving Disaster: Surviving Disaster (Images of America)
by Misty A. TilsonAugusta: Surviving Disaster allows readers to glimpse the changes that mother nature and human error have wrought on the landscape and design of the "Garden City." These disasters did not only alter the city's landscape; many were the impetus for change in Augusta.

Culled from the extensive collection of the Augusta Museum of History and the personal collection ofJoseph M. Lee III, these images provide testimony to the resiliency of the human spirit and the courage to move forward and rebuild. The citizens of Augusta have a long history of uniting for the common good, and this volume is a tribute to those who overcameobstacles to create the thriving community that exists today.
Augusta (Postcard History Series)
by Roger A. MadoreBuilt in 1754 on the eastern bank of the Kennebec River, Fort Western became one of the first permanent settlements in what would eventually become Augusta and, in 1827, the capital of Maine. Through innovations in publishing by Gannett & Morse and Vickery & Hill, textiles by the Edwards Manufacturing Company, and lumber production along the Kennebec, Augusta thrived and prospered. Water Street flourished into the business and cultural center of the city, while Green and Winthrop Streets became some of the area's most opulent residential neighborhoods. A trolley system and the Maine Central Railroad station tied Augusta to surrounding communities and allowed visitors to come from far and wide and spend many a night at the famed Augusta House.

August Wilson's Joe Turner's Come and Gone (The Fourth Wall)
by Ladrica Menson-Furr"Herald Loomis, you shining! You shining like new money!" - Bynum Walker August Wilson considered Joe Turner’s Come and Gone (1984) to be his favourite play of the ten in his award-winning Pittsburgh Cycle. It is a drama that truly examines the roots, crossroads, and intersections of African, American, and African American culture. Its characters and choral griots interweave the intricate tropes of migration from the south to the north, the effects of slavery, black feminism and masculinity, and Wilson's theme of finding one's "song" or identity. This book gives readers an overview of the work from its inception on through its revisions and stagings in regional theatres and on Broadway, exploring its use of African American vernacular genres—blues music, folk songs, folk tales, and dance—and nineteenth-century southern post-Reconstruction history. Ladrica Menson-Furr presents Joe Turner's Come and Gone as a historical drama, a blues drama, an American drama, a Great Migration drama, and the finest example of Wilson's gift for relocating the African American experience in urban southern cities at the beginning and not the end of the African American experience.
August Strindberg (Routledge Modern and Contemporary Dramatists)
by Eszter SzalczerDramatist, theatre practitioner, novelist, and painter, August Strindberg’s diverse dramatic output embodied the modernist sensibility.

Augmented Reality Filter in der Markenkommunikation mit der Generation Z: Eine empirische Untersuchung des Einflusses auf Markenbindung und Kaufabsicht (BestMasters)
by Jenny-Loreen TydecksDie Generation Z stellt aufgrund ihrer signifikanten Kaufkraft eine wichtige Zielgruppe für Unternehmen dar. Unternehmen müssen daher Kommunikationsstrategien entwickeln, um die Aufmerksamkeit dieser Generation zu gewinnen und sich von der Konkurrenz abzuheben. Hier stoßen Unternehmen jedoch auf große Schwierigkeiten, denn sie treffen bei der Gen Z auf zunehmend gering involvierte Kunden, die sich selten an bestimmte Marken binden. In der Wissenschaft ist man sich deshalb einig, dass Unternehmen neue Wege der Kommunikation gehen und emotionale Markenerlebnisse schaffen müssen, um die Generation Z an sich binden zu können. Da die sozialen Medien eine wichtige Rolle im Leben der Generation Z spielen, stellt insbesondere Instagram einen bedeutenden Kommunikationskanal dar. Hier müssen Unternehmen ansetzen, um die Aufmerksamkeit der Gen Z für sich zu gewinnen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird in der vorliegenden Studie untersucht, inwieweit Augmented Reality Filter als neue Form digitaler Kommunikation dafür geeignet sind, die Markenbindung und die Kaufabsicht der Generation Z positiv zu beeinflussen.
