Michael Riedel

Wie h ngen Herzinfarkte mit Karies zusammen? Wie ein kaputtes Knie mit dem knirschenden Kiefer? F r so ziemlich jedes Organ unseres K rpers gibt es irgendeinen speziellen Arzt. Der Zahnarzt wird so nur aufgesucht, wenn es um Z hne oder Kiefer geht. Doch wer schon mal chronisch krank war - oder einfach nur vom "falschen Arzt" behandelt wurde - wei , dass unser K rper mehr als die Summe seiner Teile ist. Die heutige (westliche) Medizin wird leider von rzten dominiert, die zu wenig ber den eigenen "Tellerrand" hinaus schauen. Daher bleiben ganzk rperliche Zusammenh nge oft auf der Strecke. Da hilft auch der Fachjargon nicht, mit dem so mancher Mediziner ber diesen Umstand hinweg t uschen will. Aber kann ein einzelner Arzt berhaupt ganzk rperlichen Zusammenh ngen gerecht werden? Eine einfache Darstellung solcher komplexen Zusammenh nge war jedenfalls dringend n tig. Fand zumindest der M nchner Zahnarzt Michael Riedel, der sich seit Jahrzehnten kontinuierlich weiterbildet - unter anderem mit Schwerpunkt CMD (Craniomanibul re Dysfunktion). Weil sich in unserem Mund eben doch der ganze K rper spiegelt und die Wissenschaft nicht stillsteht. Daher dieses Buch Es ist der Versuch, der thematischen Komplexit t zum Trotz, einer blo eindimensionalen Betrachtung unserer K rperfunktionen die Stirn zu bieten. Manche Zusammenh nge sind einfach verbl ffend Wenn wir sie kennen, k nnen wir Probleme unseres K rpers besser verstehen, und sie l sen Der Zahnarzt Michael Riedel, der Buchautor Ulrich Pfeiffer (eigentlich ein Zahnarzt-Hasser). Zwei alte Schulfreunde. Was dieses Duo stark macht, ist der Balanceakt zwischen medizinischem Fachgesimpel und unbedarfter Patientensicht. Vers t wird das Buch mit zahlreichen Illustrationen.

The extraordinary story of a transformative decade on Broadway, featuring gripping behind-the-scenes accounts of shows such as Rent, Angels in America, Chicago, The Lion King, and The Producers—shows that changed the history of the American theater. The 1990s was a decade of profound change on Broadway. At the dawn of the nineties, the British invasion of Broadway was in full swing, as musical spectacles like Les Miserables, Cats, and The Phantom of the Opera dominated the box office. But Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard soon spelled the end of this era and ushered in a new wave of American musicals, beginning with the ascendance of an unlikely show by a struggling writer who reimagined Puccini’s opera La Bohème as the smash Broadway show Rent. American musical comedy made its grand return, culminating in The Producers, while plays, always an endangered species on Broadway, staged a powerful comeback with Tony Kushner’s Angels in America. A different breed of producers rose up to challenge the grip theater owners had long held on Broadway, and corporations began to see how much money could be made from live theater. And just as Broadway had clawed its way back into the mainstream of American popular culture, the September 11 attacks struck fear into the heart of Americans who thought Times Square might be the next target. But Broadway was back in business just two days later, buoyed by talented theater people intent on bringing New Yorkers together and supporting the economics of an injured city. Michael Riedel presents the drama behind every mega-hit or shocking flop, bringing readers into high-stakes premieres, fraught rehearsals, tough contract negotiations, intense Tony Award battles, and more. From the bitter feuds to the surprising collaborations, all the intrigue of a revolutionary era in the Theater District is packed into Singular Sensation. Broadway has triumphs and disasters, but the show always goes on.

“A vivid page-turner” (NPR) detailing the rise, fall, and redemption of Broadway—its stars, its biggest shows, its producers, and all the drama, intrigue, and power plays that happened behind the scenes.“A rich, lovely, debut history of New York theater in the 1970s and eighties” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), Razzle Dazzle is a narrative account of the people and the money and the power that turned New York’s gritty back alleys and sex-shops into the glitzy, dazzling Great White Way. In the mid-1970s Times Square was the seedy symbol of New York’s economic decline. Its once shining star, the renowned Shubert Organization, was losing theaters to make way for parking lots and losing money. Bernard Jacobs and Jerry Schoenfeld, two ambitious board members, saw the crumbling company was ripe for takeover and staged a coup and staved off corporate intrigue, personal betrayals and criminal investigations. Once Jacobs and Schoenfeld solidified their power, they turned a collapsed theater-owning holding company into one of the most successful entertainment empires in the world, spearheading the revitalization of Broadway and the renewal of Times Square. “For those interested in the business behind the greasepaint, at a riveting time in Broadway’s and New York’s history, this is the ticket” (USA TODAY). Michael Riedel tells the stories of the Shubert Organization and the shows that re-built a city in grand style—including Cats, A Chorus Line, and Mamma Mia!—revealing the backstage drama that often rivaled what transpired onstage, exposing bitter rivalries, unlikely alliances, and inside gossip. “The trouble with Razzle Dazzle is…you can’t put the damn thing down” (Huffington Post).

Einen einzigen Moment, einen Augenblick. Was bleibt davon ber. Wenn wir fassungslos davor stehen und versuchen diesen Moment zu greifen? Sie denken, Momente w ren ein Teil vom Gl ck? Ich denke, Sind der Bruchteil der Bruchteil von Zeit. Gl ck ist die Zeit den Moment zu begreifen. Nehmen wir uns die Zeit. Begeben Sie sich mit mir gemeinsam auf die Reise in die Unsichtbare Welt der Gedanken. Einer Zeit, in der alles passieren kann. Erkenntnisse des Tages, ein Tag ohne Erkenntnisse und Erfahrungen ist etwas wie Schaum der langsam schwindet. Vorher noch in der Leere hoch aufl send. Allein in dieser Form hier zu schreiben, ist Neuland f r mich. Bis jetzt war es eher gedankenschwere Kost a la Unsichtbare Welt der Gedanken. Ich werde in den folgenden Zeilen in Ausz gen ber Sichtweisen berichten.
