Norwegian Wood: The Thoughtful Architecture of Wenche Selmer

2006 y.
Publisher: Birlhauser
Description: Whether set along the picturesque coast of Norway or in its remote mountains and forests, architect Wenche Selmer`s wooden cabins and houses blend effortlessly into their surroundings. Combining local building traditions with modern conveniences, her designs evoke Norway in all its rugged beauty and smart Scandinavian pragmatism. Just looking at these cabins is an invitation to sit down at the lovingly designed dining table for a hearty meal, or to curl up with a book on one of the inviting corner sofas while enjoying the panoramic view through large glass windows. These are houses that, while thoughtfully designed and beautifully crafted, were meant first and foremost to be lived in, and it is this accommodation of high design and livability that is partly responsible for their universal appeal. Norwegian Wood is the first book on the life and architecture of Wenche Selmer - one of the few women who gained prominence among European architects in the mid-twentieth century. Fourteen… [detailed...]

Haruki Murakami
Norwegian Wood

2004 y.
Publisher: Vintage
Description: When he hears her favourite Beatles song, Toru Watanabe recalls his first love Naoko, the girlfriend of his best friend Kizuki. Immediately he is transported back almost twenty years to his student days in Tokyo, adrift in a world of uneasy friendships, casual sex, passion, loss and desire - to a time when an impetuous young woman called Midori marches info his life and he has to choose between the future and the past. Evocative, entertaining, sexy and funny, but then Murakami is one of the best writers around Time Out Such is the exquisite, gossamer construction of Murakami`s writing that everything he chooses to describe trembles with symbolic possibility Guardian This book is undeniably hip, full of student uprisings, free love, booze and 1960`s pop. It`s also genuinely emotionally… [detailed...]

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The astonishing debut in English of one of Romania`s foremost writers. Mircea Cartarescu, born in 1956, is one of Romania`s leading novelists and poets. This translation of his 1989 novel Nostalgia , writes Andrei Codrescu, `introduces to English a writer who has always had a place reserved for him in a constellation that includes the Brothers Grimm, Franz Kafka, Jorge Luis Borges, Bruno Schulz, Julio CortA?zar, Gabriel GarcA­a MA?rquez, Milan Kundera, and Milorad Pavic, to mention just a few.` Like most of his literary contemporaries of the avant-garde Eighties Generation, his major work has been translated into several European languages, with the notable exception, until now, of English. Readers opening the pages of Nostalgia should brace themselves for a verbal tidal wave of the imagination that will wash away previous ideas of what a novel is or ought to be. Although each of its five chapters is separate and stands alone, a thematic, even… [detailed...]

Nostalgic Cooks: Another French Paradox, Restaurants Versus Cafeterias (International Studies in Sociology and Social Anthropology)

2005 y.
Publisher: Brill Academic Publishers
Description: Why is it that in France, a country renowned for its gastronomy, chefs tend to develop a nostalgia syndrome? Having been taught how to work in the most prestigious restaurants, they soon discover another reality in everyday restaurants or cafeterias: chefs have to cope with family constraints and are often forced to accept positions in standardized organizations that leave little room for daily inspiration. Feeling the burden of their professional commitments, these chefs are considered as having made an egotistic professional choice, both by society and the French educational system. With this in mind, their identity is distorted, regardless of possible improvements in working conditions. This book analyses vocational identities in French foodservices in their different stages and diversity, using international and inter-industry comparisons in the sociological field of professional groups.

They`ve got this Cyberstar equipment, you see. A computer system that can generate life-sized moving holograms of famous film stars. The big question is, where did they get it from? Or should the question be when? Russell`s producing the movie. Not that he really knows how to, but he`s prepared to give it a go. He`s a very nice chap, is Russell, perhaps a bit too nice. He works too hard and he cares too much, and people take advantage of him. Morgan takes advantage. He tells Russell stories. In fact, if Morgan had never told Russell about Pooley and Omally, Russell would never have spent his lunch-time trying to locate the real Flying Swan. And if he`d never done that, Russell would never have found out about the alien technology in the Second World War, seen the flying saucer, met Adolf Hitler, heard the voices of God,… [detailed...]

Nostromo

2000 y.
Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: Nostromo is the only man capable of the decisive action needed to save the silver of the San Tome mine and secure independence for Sulaco, Occidental Province of the Latin American state of Costaguana. Is his integrity as unassailable as everyone believes, or will his ideals, like those, which have inspired the struggling state itself, buckle under economic and political pressures? `Nostromo` is an extraordinary illustration of the impact of foreign commercial exploits on a young developing nation, and of the problems of reconciling individual identity with a social role. Conrad peoples his imaginary Latin American state with a multi-national cast of fully-rounded characters to achieve striking realism and create a novel that he called `my largest canvas`.

Not Buying It: My Year Without Shopping

2007 y.
Publisher: Free Press
Description: If you`ve ever contemplated cutting down on your consumerism but couldn`t bring yourself to do it, Levine`s volume allows you to witness and learn from this drastic experiment without going through the withdrawal yourself. Since giving up shopping entirely is impossible in North America (buying food requires money), the most interesting aspect of Levine`s adventure is the process of defining necessity. High-speed Internet access, Q-tips and any soap fancier than Ivory, for example, are all ruled out as luxuries. With chapters divided by month, the book witnesses Levine`s journey from enthusiastic experimenter in January to a still game but weary participant by the fall, as favorite luxuries run out and clothes become shabbier. As Levine trades in movies and restaurants for the public library system and dinner parties at home, she is forced to reflect on not only the personal indulgences she`s become used to but also their place in defining her social space. Since this book is about… [detailed...]

Not Even Then : Poems (New California Poetry)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Not Even Then, the debut collection by Brian Blanchfield, introduces a poetry both compressed and musically fluid, beseechingly intimate and oddly authoritative. Blanchfield conducts readers through a unique, theatrical realm whereconcepts and personages are enlivened into action: Continuity, Coincidence, Symmetry, and Shame keep uneasy company there with Marcel Duchamp and Johnny Weissmuller, Lord Alfred Douglas and `Blue Boy` Master Lambton, Juliet`s Nurse and Althusser`s Moses. With its kinked and suspensive language, Not Even Then draws on the lyric tradition, even as it complicates that tradition`s dualism of self and other. Likeness is always under investigation in the book`s irreducible arrangements of alterity. From `Red Habits`: `I imagine the interferences explained / in don`t-think-twice and reverse advice / and by habits for both head and breast / hers and hers as red as mine at chamber check. / We are each herself a further interference.`… [detailed...]

Description: This book will frame Generation Y (children born between 1978-1991) for corporate leaders and managers at time when the corporate world is desperate to recruit and retain worked in this age group. It will debunk dozens of myths, including that young employees have no sense of loyalty, won`t do grunt work, won`t take direction, want to interact only with computers, and are only about money. This book will make a unique contribution in four key ways: It will disprove the idea that the key to recruiting, retaining, and managing this generation is to somehow make the workplace more `fun.` To the contrary, Tulgan argues that the key to winning the respect of this generation, and getting the best effort out of them, is to carefully manage their expectations by never downplaying any negative aspect of a job. He will show managers how this Generation thinks transactionally in all negotiations. For them it`s about what they will do for you today and what you will do for… [detailed...]
