Nineteen-seventy-one was the year John Lennon left London and pop stardom for a life in New York City as a solo artist, record producer and activist looking to help end the war in Vietnam. He settled in Greenwich Village and quickly came to be seen by the leaders of the faltering anti-war movement as someone who was capable of reinvigorating it. The government was acutely aware of Lennon’s power as well, seeing him as a viable threat to Nixon’s reelection hopes, initiating extradition proceedings against him.           Lennon’s second solo album, Imagine , appeared in 1971, followed the following year by Sometime in New York City . Meanwhile, John and Yoko are searching for her daughter, a primary reason they came to America in the first place. And John is struggling to embrace feminism.           The Walrus and the Elephants tells a double-barreled story of music and politics, how the personal is political and the political is personal, of upheavals in one life amid the larger cultural upheavals of an era.

"This book is a guide to composing for the pipe organ. Many contemporary music commissions come from organists, orchestras (which often employ an organist part-time) and church, cathedral and chapel choirs (where the organ is the main accompanying instrument). However, there are currently very few resources available for composers, and so many organ compositions do not explore the instrument's full potential. This book explains how to write idiomatically for the instrument, both explaining basic notation and demonstrating the extent of organ virtuosity by drawing on organ music from the past 500 years. Through practical analysis of previous repertoire, this composer's guide for the organ shows not only what the organ was, or what it is, but also what it can be"--

"This book is a troubleshooting guide to linguistic and style errors for scientists who are non-native speakers of English, and who need to publish in English journals and apply for patents. Technical terminology searching and choice will be covered with examples from a number of scientific disciplines, with advice on how to choose the right term for the right job. General translation concepts are also discussed, so the book will also be useful to independent technical translators, students of translation, and scientists who need to present their work in languages other than English"--

Wie John Lennon zum Staatsfeind Nr. 1 wurde. 1971 verließ John Lennon London und zog nach New York, um dort nach der Trennung der Beatles als Solokünstler und Produzent zu arbeiten und den Kampf der US-Bürgerrechts- und Antikriegsbewegung zu unterstützen. Er setzte sich öffentlich für diverse soziale Kämpfe ein und wurde schnell zu einer Stimme der Bewegung. Die Nixon-Regierung sah in Lennons Engagement und seinem Einfluss eine Gefahr für ihre Wiederwahl, ließ ihn vom FBI überwachen und versuchte mehrfach, ihn als unerwünschten Ausländer auszuweisen. Gleichzeitig trieb Lennon auch seine musikalische Karriere voran, gab Benefiz- und Solidaritätskonzerte und entdeckte die bis dahin wenig bekannte New Yorker Band Elephant’s Memory, die er zu seiner Begleitband machte und mit der er das Solo-Album Some Time in New York City aufnahm. James A. Mitchell hat für dieses Buch Interviews mit den Mitgliedern von Elephant’s Memory und anderen Ikonen der 1970er Jahre geführt: u.a. mit der Feministin Gloria Steinem, Mitarbeitern der Nixon-Regierung, Rennie Davis und John Sinclair.
