On Set and Off Guard: Behind the Scenes with the Movie Greats

2002 y.
Publisher: —
Description: If the public`s favourite pastime is the cinema, maybe its second favourite is watching cinema`s stars, whose lives off the set are often more fascinating that the roles they play. On Set and Off Guard satisfies on both fronts: stars on the film set caught between takes just being themselves. But these are not just any stars: here are the biggest names in movie history - Alec Guinness, Ava Gardner, Alfred Hitchcock, Sophia Loren, James Dean, Marlene Dietrich, Vivan Leigh, John Wayne, Elizabeth Taylor, Ingrid Bergman, Charlie Chaplin, Gregory Peck, Dustin Hoffman - actors and directors in their most candid moments on the sets of classic films that made them great. At turns poignant, serious, romantic, surprising and hilarious, these photographs reveal a lighter side to a serious business and a serious side to the actors who made the cinema their life`s work. This rich archive of rarely seen images will be an absolute necessity for film lovers and star watchers alike. [detailed...]

On Site: Landscape Architecture Europe

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Europeans no longer develop their towns on unspoiled terrain but rather on former agricultural land. European landscape architectures’ response to the question how to address progressive urbanization of the landscape is thus: working not only on site but also with the geographic and historical characteristics of the site. The European landscape is a narrowly enclosed, diverse, densely built, and domesticated space that is rich in brilliant landscape architecture. On site presents pioneering projects and strategies in landscape architecture from Berlin to Bordeaux, from Akkarvikoden in Norway to Evora in Portugal. The projects are supplemented by essays on European cartography, the cultural landscape, the history of ideas in landscape architecture, the role of ideal landscapes, urban policies, and the pioneers from Portugal such as Francisco Caldeira Cabral and Goncalo Ribeiro Telles. The projects and texts have been selected by an independent jury of practicing landscape architects… [detailed...]

On Site: Landschaftsarchitektur Europa (German Edition)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Das neue Referenzwerk der europaischen Landschaftsarchitektur mit Essays und Projekten, bei denen der Ort und nicht das Design den Ton angibt Eine Entwurfsphilosophie der Bescheidenheit kennzeichnet die europaische Landschaftsarchitektur: Nicht die Extravaganz des Entwerfers pragt ein Projekt, sondern die Eigenart des Ortes. Die europaische Landschaft ist ein eng gefasster, vielgestaltiger, dicht bebauter und domestizierter Raum, der reich ist an landschaftsarchitektonischem Genie. Dieses besteht nicht darin, beliebigen Orten architektonische Formen aufzudrucken, sondern die Geographie, Geschichte und Gedachtnis eines Ortes zu sinnlich erfahrbaren Raumen mit Charakter weiterzuentwickeln. Klimawandel, neue Wirtschaftsformen und veranderte Mobilitat in territorialen Stadt-Landschaften verlangen nach neuen Raumen auf einem menschengemachten, ursprunglich landwirtschaftlich genutzten Kontinent – dieses Buch bietet Antworten in Form von landschaftsarchitektonischen Projekten und… [detailed...]

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This publication and the exhibition it accompanies feature 36 current architectural projects throughout Spain, a country that in recent years has become known as a center for design innovation and excellence well beyond Bilbao. The projects are seen in relation to 16 other major architectural accomplishments recently completed in Spain. They reflect diversity in the geography of their sites, in scale, from private houses to a new international airport, and in the architects who have conceived them, from relative newcomers to established practitioners, both Spanish and from other countries in Europe, Asia, and the United States. On Site: New Architecture in Spain includes an introductory essay by Terence Riley, the Philip Johnson Chief Curator of the Department of Architecture and Design at The Museum of Modern Art.

On Six Continents : Life in Canada`s Foreign Service 1966-2002

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionMuskoka, the University of Western Ontario, Ottawa, New York, Colombia, Bangladesh, Nicaragua, Peru, Cuba, Israel, Belgium, South Africa, Australia –the place-names tell the story of an amazing career. Then there are the people involved –Trudeau, Clark, and Chretien, Kissinger, Castro, Rabin, Walesa, Havel, Mandela and dozens of others. Not to mention the moments of high drama: when young Jim Bartleman becomes Ottawa’s security expert on terrorism during the FLQ crisis in 1970, or when he leads the movement to bring countries like Poland and Ukraine into NATO and the West. But this is also a light-hearted look at what our diplomats actually do and is full of funny stories: so watch young Jim attend a drunken party with Trudeau, compete with Mother Teresa for Bangladesh babies, or sweep his Belgian bride off her feet to the altar. Bartleman also writes candidly about falling prey to depression, and about his concern, as a native Canadian,… [detailed...]

Margaret Gilbert
On Social Facts

1992 y.
Publisher: Princeton University Press
Description: Are social groups real in any sense that is independent of the thoughts, actions, and beliefs of the individuals making up the group? Using methods of philosophy to examine such longstanding sociological questions, Margaret Gilbert gives a general characterization of the core phenomena at issue in the domain of human social life. After developing detailed analyses of a number of central everyday concepts of social phenomena--including shared action, a social convention, a group`s belief, and a group itself--she proposes that the core social phenomena among human beings are `plural subject` phenomena. In her analyses Gilbert discusses the work of such thinkers as Emile Durkheim, Georg Simmel, Max Weber, and David Lewis. `Gilbert`s book aims to … exhibit some general and structural features of the conceptual scheme in terms of which we think about social groups, collective action, social convention, and shared belief…. [It] offers an important corrective to individualistic thinking… [detailed...]

On Some Faraway Beach: The Life and Times of Brian Eno

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: For some a pretentious art-school type who produces `instrumental doodles` or `jazz that nobody asked for`, for others a lightning rod or touchstone for directions in popular music and culture over the last four decades. Whichever, what`s certain is that Brian Eno`s address book is a who`s who of rock and pop of the last thirty years. From an idiosyncratic Suffolk childhood to the sharp end of the international pop charts, Eno`s life has been in equal measure colourful and fascinating. A founder member of Roxy Music, he`s worked with everyone from Talking Heads and U2 to Pavarotti and David Bowie and is often billed as the founding father of ambient music. He continues to release his own records, frequently appears as a cultural commentator and still produces. ON SOME FARAWAY BEACH is the compelling biography of a fascinating character. [detailed...]

Description: The first behind-the-scenes look at the stunning success of America`s hippest discount retailer Founded in 1962 by Minnesota-based department store Dayton`s, Target has grown to become America`s second most profitable retailer behind Wal-Mart. On Target is the first in-depth look at the business leaders and strategies that made Target such a runaway success. The company`s easily recognizable red-and-white logo, youthful television advertisements, and upscale partnerships-with designers like Michael Graves, Mossimo, and Todd Oldham-have not only removed the stigma traditionally attached to discount store shopping, but actually made it hip to be frugal. In the process, the company has cemented its place as the favorite discount retailer of middle- and upper-income families across the country. In On Target, award-winning business journalist Laura Rowley examines the methods and the success of the company from its shrewd merchandising strategy to its clever marketing campaigns,… [detailed...]

On The Great Plains: Agriculture And Environment (Environmental History Series)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Depending on who is telling it, the history of Euro-American farmers on the Great Plains has been a story of either agricultural triumph or ecological failure?an optimistic tale of taming nature for human purposes or a dire account of disrupting nature and suffering the environmental consequences. In On the Great Plains, author Geoff Cunfer poses an alternative scenario: that people were not the masters of nature on the Great Plains. Land use in America`s vast interior prairies has stayed remarkably stable throughout the twentieth century, changing little as droughts came and went, as farmers shifted from horses to tractors, and as federal subsidies and fluctuating crop prices transformed the economics of farming. An equilibrium between natural and human forces emerged as farmers plowed and planted the same amount of cropland during most of this period, maintaining two-thirds of the Great Plains in unplowed, native vegetation. To support his theory, Cunfer looks at the… [detailed...]

O’Rourke, reads Adam Smith’s revolutionary The Wealth of Nations so you don’t have to. Recognized almost instantly on its publication in 1776 as the fundamental work of economics, The Wealth of Nations was also recognized as really long: the original edition totaled over nine hundred pages in two volumes—including the blockbuster sixty-seven-page “digression concerning the variations in the value of silver during the course of the last four centuries,” which, “to those uninterested in the historiography of currency supply, is like reading Modern Maturity in Urdu.” Although daunting, Smith’s tome is still essential to understanding such current hot-topics as outsourcing, trade imbalances, and Angelina Jolie.
