Wasserspiele gehören seit jeher zu den wichtigsten Gestaltungselemen­ten in Gartenanlagen, doch hinter den so lieblich plätschernden Fontänen und Brunnen verbarg sich eine für damalige Zeiten technische Meister­leistung. Das Dampfmaschinenhaus an der Neustädter Havelbucht versorgte im 19. Jahrhundert die Wasserspiele im Park Sanssouci. Das zugleich reiz­vollste und fremdartigste Bauwerk in Potsdam ist ein bemerkenswertes Ar­chitekturbeispiel für Zweckbauten der frühen Industrie im 19. Jahrhundert. Friedrich Wilhelm IV. ließ es in den Jahren 1841-43 von Ludwig Persius er­richten. Es ist das einzige Pumpenhaus im maurischen Stil. Das damals noch vom Schloss Sanssouci aus sichtbare Gebäude setzte einen malerischen architektonischen Akzent in die Pots­damer Kulturlandschaft. Einzigartiges Bauwerk im maurischen Stil

In Los Angeles, from the early 1960s through the late 1980s, young musicians and singers formed tight-knit musical communities anchored by nightclubs such as the Ash Grove, the Troubadour, and the Palomino. These musicians injected elements of folk, bluegrass, and country to enliven and reinvigorate the sounds of pop and rock. The music flowing from these scenes exerted a lasting influence that would stretch the boundaries and alter the course of both rock and country music. This book, a companion to a major multi-year exhibition at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, traces a musical evolution beginning with California folk and bluegrass groups, which led to the country-rock sounds of the Byrds, CSN&Y, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, the Eagles, and many more. In the 1980s, a new wave of L.A. roots-rock ushered in Dwight Yoakam, Los Lobos, and Lone Justice. Richly illustrated with photographs of key musicians on the scene along with treasured items loaned to the museum for the exhibition, the book takes readers on a dazzling journey to a time and place when the beat and grit of rock met the harmonies and the twang of country to produce sounds that reverberate to this day.

Schloss Altenstein zählt zu den herausragenden Schöpfungen historistischer Baukunst in Deutschland und diente bis 1918 den Herzögen von Sachsen-Meiningen als Sommerresidenz.
