So oft totgesagt wurde das Kino wohl noch nie. Tatsächlich hat sich in der Dekade der 2010er-Jahre viel verändert – sowohl, wie wir Filme sehen, als auch, wie wir uns selbst sehen. Soziale Medien und das Internet prägten eine neue Selbst- und Welterfahrung. Streaming-Dienste vervielfachten die Möglichkeiten des Sehens , Videospiele lockten mit eigenen Welten: Die große Leinwand bekam ernsthafte Konkurrenz . Schon bevor die gewohnten Zeitfenster zwischen Kinostart und Zweitverwertung immer enger wurden, sah sich der Film oftmals zu bloßem „Content“ degradiert, anzuklicken auf bunten Bildschirmkacheln. Bleiben dem Kino nur noch Starkult, Blockbuster und computeranimierte Schauwerte? Ganz im Gegenteil – schon ein erster Blick in unsere Anthologie zeigt ein überraschend vielfältiges, dynamisches und vor allem quicklebendiges Kino. Das letzte Jahrzehnt war filmisch alles andere als langweilig, eintönig und dem Aussterben geweiht. Und ehrlich: Würden Sie all die hier versammelten Filme gerne nur im Streaming sehen? Das Kino bleibt ein Sehnsuchtsort. Unser Band lässt Sie seinen starken Atem spüren. Jeder der 100 wichtigsten Filme der Dekade wird von dem Herausgeber Jürgen Müller und seinem Team von AutorInnen ausführlich erläutert und mit einer Fülle von Bildmaterial illustriert. Der Band umfasst Biografien von Schauspielern und Regisseuren, Einspielergebnisse, Hintergrundinformationen sowie eine ausführliche Liste der Oscar®-Gewinner von 2012 bis 2021 . Quentin Tarantinos Meisterwerk Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood (2019) wird für Jürgen Müller und Philipp Bühler in ihrer ausführlichen Einleitung zur perfekten Metapher für die Widersprüche und Ambivalenzen des heutigen Kinos. Dieser Band ist ein neuer Meilenstein für alle Cineasten und Filmliebhaber!

Derived from the XXL monograph which saw TASCHEN undertake a comprehensive
photographic survey of the artist's oeuvre, this compact edition explores
Bruegel's 40 paintings through exceptional details and reproductions. We
discover how, using his own pictorial language in scenes teeming with
minutiae, Bruegel captured the theater of life.

The research presented in this book discusses how to efficiently retrieve track and trace information for an item of interest that took a certain path through a complex network of manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers. To this end, a super-ordinate system called „Discovery Service“ is designed that has to handle large amounts of data, high insert-rates, and a high number of queries that are submitted to the discovery service. An example that is used throughout this book is the European pharmaceutical supply chain, which faces the challenge that more and more counterfeit medicinal products are being introduced. Between October and December 2008, more than 34 million fake drug pills were detected at customs control at the borders of the European Union. These fake drugs can put lives in danger as they were supposed to fight cancer, take effect as painkiller or antibiotics, among others. The concepts described in this book can be adopted for supply chain management use cases other than track and trace, such as recall, supply chain optimization, or supply chain analytics.
Cinema enters another Movies at the dawn of the third millennium Our groundbreaking movies by decade series continues with this new volume dedicated to the most interesting and important films made in the decade since the turn of the millennium. A decade characterized the rise of a new era in global politics and technology , the 2000s were most notably marked by September 11, 2001 and the ensuing wars in the Middle East, as well as the explosion of social networking and mobile computing. This comprehensive volume covers an inspiringly broad range of titles made during a unique period in history , from the fantastical special effects masterpieces Lord of the Rings, Inception , and the 3D film Avatar ; to entertaining fare such as the Bourne action films, the Harry Potter series, Moulin Rouge, Borat , and Inglourious Basterds ; socially and politically conscious cinema including Hurt Locker, Babel, Bowling for Columbine, and City of God ; and art-house standouts such as Brokeback Mountain, Mulholland Drive, Dogville, Talk to Her, No Country for Old Men, and Black Swan . If indeed we are approaching the end of cinema—it can be argued that the 2000s were the last decade of cinema as we knew it , before technology altered it beyond recognition and the movie theater was superseded by the computer screen—then this study is both a celebration of moviemaking and an elegy for a soon-to-be-lost art.
