Summary

The Trauermarsch (Funeral March) is the first movement of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 5 in C-sharp minor. It is a slow, somber movement in 4/4 time, and is marked "In gemessenem Schritt. Streng. Wie ein Kondukt" (In measured steps. Sternly. Like a funeral procession).
This piece is a powerful and moving movement that is often interpreted as a meditation on death and loss. Mahler himself said that the movement was inspired by the death of his friend, the composer Alexander von Zemlinsky.
The movement is also notable for its use of the "hammer stroke," a loud, dissonant chord that is used to punctuate the movement. The hammer stroke is often interpreted as a symbol of death or judgment.
The Trauermarsch is one of the most famous and beloved movements in Mahler's symphonic repertoire. It is a powerful and moving piece of music that has been performed and recorded by many of the world's leading orchestras and conductors.

    The story of how the motion-picture device was developed, and its role in Victorian society and early cinema. 
 
The position of the kinetoscope in film history is central and undisputed; indicative of its importance is the detailed attention American scholars have given to examining its history. However, the Kinetoscope’s development in Britain has not been well documented and much current information about it is incomplete and out of date. 
 
This book, for the first time, presents a comprehensive account of the unauthorized and often colorful development of British kinetoscopes, using many previously unpublished sources. The commercial and technical backgrounds of the kinetoscope are looked at in detail; the style and content of the earliest British films analyzed; and the device’s place in the wider world of Victorian popular entertainment examined. In addition, a unique legal case is revealed and a number of previously unrecorded film pioneers are identified and discussed.

    The cave art of France's Dordogne region is world-famous for the mythology and beauty of its remarkable drawings and paintings. These ancient images of lively bison, horses, and mammoths, as well as symbols of all kinds, are fascinating touchstones in the development of human culture, demonstrating how far humankind has come and reminding us of the ties that bind us across the ages. 
Over more than twenty-five years of teaching and research, Christine Desdemaines-Hugon has become an unrivaled expert in the cave art and artists of the Dordogne region. In Stepping-Stones she combines her expertise in both art and archaeology to convey an intimate understanding of the "cave experience." Her keen insights communicate not only the incomparable artistic value of these works but also the near-spiritual impact of viewing them for oneself. 
Focusing on five fascinating sites, including the famed Font de Gaume and others that still remain open to the public, this book reveals striking similarities between art forms of the Paleolithic and works of modern artists and gives us a unique pathway toward understanding the culture of the Dordogne Paleolithic peoples and how it still touches our lives today.
