Barbara Abel Titolo Mother's Instinct

Following his debut album Where is Home / Hae ke Kae (which was awarded a Qobuzissime in 2022), South African cellist Abel Selaocoe continues his exploration into the abstract ideas of home and identity. While Where is Home was a deeply introspective journey of self-discovery, Hymns of Banthu represents a return to peace, and a joyful reconnection with his roots.

This book contains a series of research papers on subjects related to the work of Niels Henrik Abel, written by some of the foremost specialists in their fields. Some of the authors have been specifically invited to present papers, discussing the influence of Abel in a mathematical-historical context. Others have submitted papers presented at the Abel Bicentennial Conference, Oslo June 3-8, 2002. The idea behind the book has been to produce a text covering a substantial part of the legacy of Abel, as perceived at the beginning of the 21st century.

Korea had been trying to create a super-soldier, but what they created was an army of monsters—monsters inside the facility you are assigned to secure. Try to hold onto your instincts… it may be all you have left.

In 1824 a young Norwegian named Niels Henrik Abel proved conclusively that algebraic equations of the fifth order are not solvable in radicals. In this book Peter Pesic shows what an important event this was in the history of thought. He also presents it as a remarkable human story. Abel was twenty-one when he self-published his proof, and he died five years later, poor and depressed, just before the proof started to receive wide acclaim. Abel's attempts to reach out to the mathematical elite of the day had been spurned, and he was unable to find a position that would allow him to work in peace and marry his fiancé…

It is not often that one is lucky enough to directly observe the creation of unique beauty, perfect craftsmanship, absolute passion and profound dedication. I recently had the wonderful opportunity to experience these with the creation of “Lexposure”, in Cologne at the end of August 2020.
