Ulf Lagerkvist
Pioneers of Microbiology and the Nobel Prize

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWe are swamped with information and each day seems to bring new discoveries that must be considered. Never before in the history of science have so many scientists been as active as today. It has become a major problem for the expert justto keep up with the literature in his or her own field of research. Why, then, should experts and their poor students worry about the pioneers of microbiology, those half-forgotten scientists who a century ago devoted their lives to a new science that was on its way to revolutionizing medicine? With so many new facts and problems screaming for our attention, it is easy to lose sight of the long road that we have travelled in order to get to the point where we are now. Tracing the path of those who have gone before us will help us to see our own scientific goals and efforts in a more revealing perspective. The great figures who are at the center of interest in this book ? Robert Koch, Emil von Behring, Paul Ehrlich and Elie… [detailed...]

Herbert Spencer
Pioneers of Modern Typography : Revised Edition

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionSince its first publication in 1969, Pioneers of Modern Typography has been the standard guide to the avant-garde origins of modern graphic design and typography. In this essential reference, Herbert Spencer shows how new concepts in graphic design in the early decades of the twentieth century had their roots in the artistic movements of the time in painting, poetry, and architecture. Spencer examines the `heroic` period of modern design and typography, the beginning of which he traces to the publication in Le Figaro of the Italian artist Manetti`s Futurist manifesto. He discusses the work of such `pioneers` as El Lissitzky, Alexander Rodchenko, and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy. He examines the artistic background of the new concepts in graphic design, and traces the influences of futurism, Dadaism, de Stijl, suprematism, constructivism, and the Bauhaus. His text is profusely illustrated with examples of the new typography, shown in genres that range from posters and… [detailed...]

Pious Property: Islamic Mortgages in the United States

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Owning a home has always been central to the American dream. For the more than one million Muslims in the United States, this is no exception. However, the Qur`an forbids the payment of interest, which places conventional home financing out of reach for observant Muslims. To meet the growing Muslim demand for home purchases, a market for home financing that would be halal , or permissible under Islamic law, has emerged. In Pious Property , anthropologist Bill Maurer profiles the emergence of this new religiously based financial service and explores the ways it reflects the influence of Muslim practices on American economic life and vice versa. Pious Property charts the development of Islamic mortgages in America, starting with Islamic interpretations of the prohibition against riba ?literally translated as `increase` but interpreted as `usury` or `interest.` Maurer then explores the different practices that have emerged as permissible options for… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description I thought, Pfft, come on. People from Australia are world champions … But a world champion from Florida? Fuhged-daboudit. Cocoa Beach, Florida, isn`t exactly a breeding ground for surfing world champions -- the waves are tiny. So when Kelly Slater was growing up, the furthest thing from his mind was becoming a world champion. He was a Florida grommet whose biggest goal was to one day make it out far enough to catch the two-foot waves his dad and brother were riding -- anything more was a dream. Life in the Slater household wasn`t perfect, and as his parents` marriage fell apart and his father battled alcoholism, Slater escaped to the beach and found peace on a surfboard. He devoured surf magazines, satspellbound while watching surfing movies, and worshiped the gods of the sport who threw themselves into thundering walls of water along the North Shore of Hawaii and around the world. Slater never thought he`d move beyond the Florida… [detailed...]

Pipe Dreams: Greed, Ego, and the Death of Enron

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A classic investigative narrative of how Enron`s business practices led to its own downfall, Pipe Dreams reveals what went wrong not just on the books, but in the minds and hearts of the company`s managers. The self-destruction of Enron, once America`s seventh-largest company, was the most spectacular failure of a company in a generation, with devastating impact on workers, investors, and the American economy. Anyone interested in business or in our culture needs to know just how it happened. Robert Bryce`s Pipe Dreams , widely praised as the best book published on Enron, is a hard-hitting, incisive, and compelling narrative that explains the company`s rise and fall while illuminating the personalities, egos, and dreams of the people who built the company and of those who destroyed it. In a new afterword to the paperback edition, Bryce also examines the current `state of the suits` and their enormous cost to the American public. `Finally, an Enron book that… [detailed...]

Description: In this groundbreaking book, Rafael Kandiyoti takes us along the pipeline networks, from Kandahar to the Caspian basin, from Ceyhan to China, and shows us how they form the foundation of the new geopolitical order. In the process he demonstrates that the issue of energy supply revolves not only on hydrocarbon resources but also on their delivery. This is an entirely new way to view the international politics of oil and natural gas and therefore crucial to any explanation of the tensions involving Central Asia, The Middle East, Russia, China and Europe.

Description: Pipilotti Rist continually reinvents the art of installation. With her multimedia audio and video installations, the Swiss-born artist creates and innovatively transforms big and small spaces, activates machines and produces serial video stills filled with her very individual and vivid imagery. Her everyday themes and images reflect fundamental, vital issues: love and loss, birth and death, family and solitude, gender and individuality, dream and reality. The artist directly involves the observers of her art and experiments with the communicative and performative abilities of the human body. Supplemented with short interviews on each of the pieces highlighted, A„nne SA¶ll`s introduction offers the first systematic overview of the works of Pipilotti Rist. Beautifully designed and unusally engaging text. [detailed...]

Description: In this meeting of two of the twentieth century`s greatest playwrights, Tom Stoppard has reinvigorated Luigi Pirandello`s masterpiece of madness and sanity. After a fall from his horse, an Italian aristocrat believes he is the obscure medieval German emperor Henry IV. After twenty years of living this royal illusion, his beloved appears with a noted psychiatrist to shock the madman back to sanity. Their efforts expose that for the past twelve years the nobleman has in fact been sane. Withhis mask of madness removed, the aristocrat launches an offensive to deflect their unwanted attention. While Pirandello`s characters race linguistically about in Stoppardian dervishes, battling for the upper hand-and the greatest laughs-one question emerges: What constitutes sanity? [detailed...]
