In Detail: Building Skins

2006 y.
Publisher: Birkhauser Basel, Edition Detail

A wide array of carefully selected international examples show the theory in practice. All plans, details, and large-scale sections of the facades have been fully researched, and expert authors provide the essential information needed to plan and design facades and understand the latest developments in technology and materials.

Norman himself was then a stranger in a strange land, but he was not alone. In Churchill he encountered Helen Tanizaki, an Anglo-Japanese woman embarked on a similar project--to translate the tales into Japanese. An extraordinary linguist and an exactand compelling friend, Tanizaki became Norman`s guide through the characters, stories, and customs he was coming to know, and a remarkable intimacy sprang up between them--all the more intense because it was to be fleeting, Tanizaki was… [detailed...]

In Good Company: How Social Capital Makes Organizations Work

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Knowledge has always resided in organizations-but it wasn`t until the Information Age put a premium on ideas that intellectual capital was recognized as a critical resource. Now, forces like technology, globalization, and the rise of free agency and virtual workplaces are bringing another form of `hidden` capital to the forefront. In Good Company is the first book to examine the role that social capital -a company`s `stock` of human connections such as trust, personal networks, and a senseof community-plays in thriving organizations. Written by leading knowledge management experts Don Cohen and Laurence Prusak, this groundbreaking book argues that social capital is so integral to business life that without it, cooperative action-and consequently productive work-isn`t possible. The authors help today`s leaders understand the nature and value of social capital, suggest ways they can encourage and enhance it, and explore how they can protect this vital but increasingly… [detailed...]

In Harness: Yiddish Writers` Romance With Communism

2005 y.
Publisher: Syracuse University Press
Description: Here is a detailed glimpse into the lives and times of Yiddish writers enthralled with Communism at the turn of the century through the mid-1930s. Centering mainly on the Soviet Jewish literati but with an eye to their American counterparts, the book follows their paths from avant-garde beginnings in Kiev after the 1905 revolution to their peak in the mid-1930s. Notables such as David Bergelson - who helmed the short-lived Yiddish periodical called In Harness - and Der Nister and David Hodshtein come to life as do Leyb Kvitko, Peretz Markish, Itsik Fefer, Moshe Litvakov, Yekhezkel Dobrushin, and Nokhum Oislender. Gennady J. Estraikh charts the course of their artistic and political flowering and decline and considers the effects of geography - provincial vs. urban - and party politics upon literary development and aesthetics. No other book concentrates on this aspect of the Jewish intellectual scene nor has any book unveiled the scale and intensity of Yiddish Communist literary life… [detailed...]
