Noch immer ist die Kenntnis und die Lehre von der Perspektive für die räumliche Darstellung geplanter Objekte unentbehrlich. Dies wird sich trotz Fotografie und Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) nicht ändern. Das Buch erklärt das Wesentliche zur Perspektive anhand leicht verständlicher Beispiele, wobei die Zeichnung im Mittelpunkt steht, ergänzt um knappe Erläuterungen. Diese Perspektivlehre ist vor allem für diejenigen gedacht, die sich mit der Planung neuer Objekte befassen - für Architekten und Designer, aber auch für den interessierten Laien. Vorkenntnisse sind nicht erforderlich. Product details Format Paperback | 101 pages Dimensions

Amateur wird Meister ist der erste Band der längst als Klassiker geltenden Euwe/Meiden-Trilogie, die aufgrund der hervorragenden Sachkompetenz der Autoren und der didaktischen Qualität im Aufbau des Werks eine hohe Popularität erlangt hat. In einem einleitenden Kapitel werden die wesentlichen Unterschiede zwischen amateurhaftem und meisterlichem Spiel aufgezeigt und die Aspekte der Spielführung diskutiert, die auf Seiten des Amateurs der Verbesserung bedürfen, will dieser den Rang eines Meisters erreichen. Es folgen 25 ausführlich und sorgfältig kommentierte Partien zwischen einem jeweils anonymen Amateur und Meister in der Weise, dass die Spielstärke des Amateurs sukzessive zunimmt, bis er in den letzten drei Partien - zum Meisteranwärter gereift - den Meister bezwingen kann. Bezüglich der aufgenommenen Eröffnungen haben die Autoren eine geschickte Auswahl getroffen, wobei jegliche eröffnungstheoretische Überfrachtung bei der Kommentierung vermieden wird.

Remember the twin golden rules of hitchhiking? #1: Don't go hitchhiking, because the driver who picks you up could be certifiably crazy. #2: Don't pick up hitchhikers, because the traveler you pick up could be certifiably crazy.

If you suffer from anxiety attacks, nervous disorders, insomnia, nightmares or night terrors, heart palpitations, stomach problems, or are of an overly sensitive nature, you should listen to something else.

Originally written for the stage, "The Weapon" is about the limitations of torture and demonstrates why Jeff is considered a master of both the modern thriller and the short story. Tragic events unfold in a snowy, sleepy Colorado town. From the first scene of Remaking, in which a man sits alone in the cold, watching a father and son in a diner, you know something is about to go horribly wrong. The lead characters of Iced bear a shocking resemblance to people we might know--even to ourselves--pillars of society crumbling in an avalanche of bad decisions that seemed perfectly rational at the time. In "Justice Served," Mariah Stewart shows what might happen when a young woman does what the rest of us only think about in our darkest moments. It is a tale of vengeance that takes you to corners of the human heart better left unexplored in real life. "The Circle" is a perfectly symmetrical tale that shatters our comfortable isolation from current events. Through

Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen here poses the question: "Is affirmative action morally (un)justifiable?" As a phrase that frequently surfaces in major headlines, affirmative action is a highly controversial and far-reaching issue, yet most of the recent scholarly literature surrounding the topic tends to focus on defending one side or another in a particular case of affirmative action. Lippert-Rasmussen instead takes a wide-angle view, addressing each of the prevailing contemporary arguments for and against affirmative action. In his introduction, he proposes an amended definition of affirmative action and considers what forms, from quotas to outreach strategies, may fall under this revised definition. He then analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of each position, relative to each other, and applies recent discussions in political philosophy to assess if and how each argument might justify different conclusions given different cases or philosophical frameworks. Each chapter inves

The Governor's Dilemma develops a general theory of indirect governance based on the tradeoff between governor control and intermediary competence; the empirical chapters apply that theory to a diverse range of cases encompassing both international relations and comparative politics. The theoretical framework paper starts from the observation that virtually all governance is indirect, carried out through intermediaries. But governors in indirect governance relationships face a dilemma: competent intermediaries gain power from the competencies they contribute, making them difficult to control, while efforts to control intermediary behavor limit important intermediary competencies, including expertise, credibility, and legitimacy. Thus, governors can obtain either high intermediary competence or strong control, but not both. This competence-control tradeoff is a common condition of indirect governance, whether governors are domestic or international, public or private, democratic o

Dieses Buch hatte auch den Titel "Abenteuer des Denkens" erhalten konnen, denn in das Abenteuer, mit klarem Denken einen Blick hinter die Kulissen der Welt zu werfen, entfuhrt der Autor seine Leser. Er zeigt auf, dass grundlegende Fragen der Naturwissenschaften, die heute als beantwortet gelten, oft gar keine Antwort erhalten haben, sondern lediglich im Rahmen von Modellen behandelbar wurden, die selbst sehr oft mehr Fragen aufwerfen, als sie Antworten zu geben vermogen. Der Themenkreis ist dabei weit gespannt und reicht von offenen Fragen der Physik uber aktuelle Fragen der Biologie bis hin zu Fragen der Philosophie. Und was zunachst wie eine Kritik an der speziellen Relativitatstheorie erscheint, was falsch und sinnlos ware, entpuppt sich schon bald als erfolgreicher Versuch, die wichtigsten Paradoxa im heutigen Denken des Menschen aufzulosen. Leicht gemacht wird das als Print- und Kindleversion vorliegende Denkabenteuer dadurch, dass der Autor seine Leser so fuhrt, als war

The nuanced realm of Nordic design has two personalities. On one side, there sits the open, light, friendly, and democratic constituent. And, on the other hand, is its moody counterpart: sleek and sophisticated; timeless and traditional; and deeply rooted in the sensations and juxtapositions of nature. Within the lines of tile-covered roofs born from the existence of nearby clay deposits and large windows that let in light during the shorter winter days, insight into this special thread of skilled craftsmanship awaits. Scandinavia Dreaming presents dazzling interiors, architecture, and products that show the richness, variety, and intensity of contemporary Nordic spaces. The projects within Scandinavia Dreaming translate to any four walls and readily invite transformation from page to reality. Told through anecdotes from those who live in them and from those who exist in other sectors of the creative community, Scandinavia Dreaming tells of a design school that has a worldwide reputati

Survive. At any cost. 10 concentration camps. 10 different places where you are starved, tortured, and worked mercilessly. It's something no one could imagine surviving. But it is what Yanek Gruener has to face. As a Jewish boy in 1930s Poland, Yanek is at the mercy of the Nazis who have taken over. Everything he has, and everyone he loves, have been snatched brutally from him. And then Yanek himself is taken prisoner -- his arm tattooed with the words PRISONER B-3087. He is forced from one nightmarish concentration camp to another, as World War II rages all around him. He encounters evil he could have never imagined, but also sees surprising glimpses of hope amid the horror. He just barely escapes death, only to confront it again seconds later. Can Yanek make it through the terror without losing his hope, his will -- and, most of all, his sense of who he really is inside? Based on an astonishing true story. Product details
