Paperback. Condition: Good. Dieses Buch nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise durch die Welt des Radfahrens aus dem Blickwinkel eines Soziologen. Es zeigt die Verwobenheit des Fahrrads mit unserem Alltag und dessen Einfluss auf unsere Lebensweise. Radfahren ist nicht nur Fortbewegung, sondern auch Freiheit, Autonomie und Abenteuer. Das Fahrrad vermittelt ein Gef hl der Unabh ngigkeit, das viele erstmals als Kinder erleben, wenn sich der Bewegungsradius mit dem ersten eigenen Rad pl tzlich stark erweitert. Wer radelt, lernt den Genuss der Geschwindigkeit kennen - und das sich nach einer langen Tour einstellende K rpergef hl. Der Text beleuchtet zudem, wie das Fahrrad unsere St dte ver ndert. Gerade in den letzten Jahren, nicht zuletzt w hrend der Pandemie, hat das Fahrrad einen Boom erlebt. Menschen entdeckten es als bessere, umweltfreundliche Alternative zum Auto und zum ffentlichen Nahverkehr. Mit der wachsenden Zahl von Radfahrern kommt auch die Herausforderung, den begrenzten st dtischen Raum neu zu verteilen: Radwege, autofreie Zonen, Lastenr der sind Teil eines Wandels, der die Lebensqualit t steigern und neue Formen der Mobilit t etablieren kann. Radfahren erscheint zwar zun chst wie eine rein individuelle Erfahrung, ist aber von Natur aus sozial und kulturell gepr gt: Wir begegnen anderen Radfahrern, passen uns gegenseitig an und lernen von ihnen. Es bringt Menschen zusammen, sei es auf einer Reise oder beim abendlichen Treffen in der Lieblingskneipe und es erm glicht, St dte und Landschaften aus einer anderen Perspektive zu erleben. …

Hardcover. Condition: Used - Like New. The fascinating story of the American inventor and manufacturer who perfected the revolver Samuel Colt (1814-1862) first patented his 'Colt' revolver in 1835 and thereby redefined the architecture of handguns. This stunning book is the first to present in detail the evolution of his most famous invention and to document the unsurpassed Colt firearms collections held by the Wadsworth Atheneum. Colt designed his revolvers with an artistic sensibility--paying particular attention to form and beauty and juxtaposing colors and finishes to heighten the visual effects. He was also one of the first American manufacturers to secure celebrity endorsements and to commission paintings by renowned artists like George Catlin to promote his arms. Colt's standards for excellence, industrial foresight, and quest for market domination are explored in light of primary documents that reveal his constant battles to protect his patents. Essays discuss Colt's personal collection of historic firearms as well as the memorial collection of Colt-manufactured firearms, the relationship between art and commerce as they pertain to the inventor's career, and his international celebrity. Richly illustrated and beautifully produced, this volume presents the artistry of the firearms that Colt worked so diligently to perfect--as well as his promotional abilities that made a tremendous impact on American culture. Published in association with the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art Exhibition Schedule: Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford (opens September 20, 2006).…
