315 pages. Index. Black and white photographic plates, including frontis of Luther Burbank. "Here, for the first time, the vast amount of material written by Luther Burbank during his lifetime is compiled and compressed into a single volume... Contains the cream of what the great naturalist had to say about his revolutionary experiments in plant-breeding. It is, too, the story of Burbank's life, for his life was his work, a work which has added so much to the world's knowledge and appreciation of growing things and to its material wealth." - from dust jacket. Book clean and unmarked with very light wear. Tight and square. Average wear to price-clipped dust jacket now preserved in a new archival-grade Brodart cover. A legend in his day, associating with Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, Luther Burbank is woefully unknown by the modern world, which benefits greatly from his efforts to this day. Very nice copy overall. A precious item for students of Burbank. Book
Sehr guter Zustand - Vorwort So viel Luther gefeiert wird - wer kennt ihn? „Nicht Luther-Vergessenheit, sondern Luther-Verdrossenheit, nicht Luther-Fremdheit, sondern Luther-Verdorbenheit stellt sich notwendigerweise zuletzt ein, wenn es Forschung und Lehre nicht gelingt, den ,Kern der Nuß' und das ,Mark des Weizens' von Luthers ,Sache mit Gott' den Menschen so vor Augen zu rücken, daß sie darin den Pulsschlag des eigenen Lebens zu ermitteln vermögen“ (G. Edel). So sehr man sich auf Martin Luther beruft - wo ist er tot und wo lebendig? Frank Burckner will uns anleiten, uns in die Todesstunde Luthers einst zurückzubegeben, um ihm neu zu begegnen und die von ihm vertretene Wahrheit zu entdecken. Sie muß von der Lüge gesondert und aus vielen Formen des Mißbrauchs in Geschichte und Gegenwart befreit werden. Zur Vorbereitung für Teilnehmer am Stadt-Fest am 30. 10. 1983 auf dem West-Berliner Nachkriegsplatz zwischen Matthäus-Kirche und Philharmonie, aber auch zur anregenden Weiterbeschäftigung mit der Frage nach Reformation der Kirche und Kritik der Gesellschaft heute im Sinne Luthers, erscheint dieses Werkbuch. Es will die Schritte von der Planung über den Entwurf und die Revision bis hin zur Realisation auf den verschiedenen Ebenen dokumentieren: dramaturgisch, theologisch, kirchenpolitisch, organisatorisch, praktisch. Deswegen das Roh-Drehbuch und drei ausgewählte Szenen, deswegen Materialien zu Fragen der Inszenierung und Finanzierung, deswegen der geplante und der wirkliche Zeitablauf. Dazu Belege zur Öffentlichkeitsarbeit. In den Reflexionen spiegeln sich die vielfältigen gegenseitigen Annäherungen, die erforderlich waren, um zusammenzuführen, was gemeinhin noch immer nebeneinander zu laufen scheint: Theater, Kirche, jedermann - jedefrau. Die Kirche zumindest hat sich längst aus der Mitte der Kunst zurückgezogen. ISBN 9783889810038
