Book Description
Lynn Austin Will Delight Readers with Her Winsome Heroine Alice Grace Ripley lives in a dream world, her nose stuck in a book. But happily-ever-after life she's planned on suddenly falls apart when her boyfriend, Gordon, breaks up with her, accusing her of living in a world of fiction instead of the real world. Then to top it off, Alice loses her beloved job at the library because of cutbacks due to the Great Depression. Fleeing small-town gossip, Alice heads to the mountains of eastern Kentucky to deliver five boxes of donated books to the library in the tiny coal-mining village of Acorn. Dropped off by her relatives, Alice volunteers to stay for two weeks to help the librarian, Leslie McDougal. But the librarian turns out to be far different than she anticipated--not to mention the four lady librarians who travel to the remote homes to deliver the much-desired books. While Alice is trapped in Acorn against her will, she soon finds that real-life adventure and mystery--and especially romance--are far better than her humble dreams could have imagined.

Wonderlands of the Avant-Garde

Pages : 322
Book Description
In postrevolutionary Russia, as the Soviet government was initiating a program of rapid industrialization, avant-garde artists declared their intent to serve the nascent state and to transform life in accordance with their aesthetic designs. In spite of their professed utilitarianism, however, most avant-gardists created works that can hardly be regarded as practical instruments of societal transformation. Exploring this paradox, Vaingurt claims that the artists’ investment of technology with aesthetics prevented their creations from being fully conscripted into the arsenal of political hegemony. The purposes of avant-garde technologies, she contends, are contemplative rather than constructive. Looking at Meyerhold’s theater, Tatlin’s and Khlebnikov’s architectural designs, Mayakovsky’s writings, and other works from the period, Vaingurt offers an innovative reading of an exceptionally complex moment in the formation of Soviet culture.

Book Description
In den ersten fünf Jahren eines neuen Architekturbüros entstehen typische Probleme, die bewältigt werden müssen. Basierend auf den Erfahrungsberichten junger Architekturbüros, die europaweit in Workshops eingeholt wurden, analysiert dieses Handbuch übereinstimmend beobachtete, häufig auftretende Problemfälle und bietet Ansätze zu deren Lösung. Das Besondere: sie wurden aus der täglichen Arbeitspraxis heraus entwickelt und sind real umsetzbar, auch weil sie auf die verschiedenen Aufbauphasen ausgerichtet wurden: Getting started, Making mistaktes, Going Public, Getting specialized und Making competitions. Für die zweite Auflage wurden die Texte ergänzt und korrigiert, Statistiken und Charts aktualisiert. Das flotte Erscheinungsbild bleibt so ansprechend wie in der ersten Auflage.
