Book Description
10 1/2 x 10 290 color and 200 black-and-white illustrations US and Canada Distribution architecture Minimalism is defined as "the quality an object has when every component, every detail and every junction has been condensed to its essentials." Minimalist Spaces is a fascinating journey through minimalist architecture and interiors. This amazing guide features over 30 of the best examples of this architectural style from buildings all over the world, including overviews of such projects as the Na Xamena House, Spain; a Minimalist apartment in the U.K.; the offices of Bang & Olufsen in Denmark; the Antonio Pernas Boutique in Spain; a minimalist jewelry shop in Munich; and much more. Conveniently organized into three chapters-homes; offices and public buildings; and shopping spaces-this guide also includes dozens of sophisticated photos, as well as introductions written by John Pawson and Claudio Silverstrin, two important contemporary leaders of this extraordinary movement.
Customer Reviews:
Nice, but no need to buy........2004-04-15
Firstly, I love minimalism. The two quotes at the beginning of this book sum up what is wonderful about minimalism rather nicely, and I encourage you to read them (at the book store). Secondly, some of the exibits in this book are really fantastic, especially the Japanese projects. I found a lot of inspiration looking at these designs, and the photography is mostly great.
BUT, you really don't need to buy this particular book. I suggest Minimalist Houses over this particular collection because it has a lot more variety, and greater international representation (eg. you'll see more from Germany, Sweedan, the U.S. and Japan) for about the same price. Minimalist Spaces is a nice book, but read it the store as an appetizer for Minimalist Houses, if minimalism appeals to you. Some people are uncomfortable with minimalism, and there are plenty of books and designs for you too :).
Good Selection.......2001-06-12
The materials in Minimalist Spaces are thoughtfully selected from broad range around the world. With its good quality graphics, it's a book worthy to read. If more specific details and graphic illustrations could be included, it would be much more helpful. Anyway, this is a good book of its kind.
Book Description
The absence of superfluous elements and the search for the greatest refinement in architecture and interior design are the premises of the diverse proposals presented in this volume. Pure geometric forms, clear surfaces, repetition and a minimum number of compositional elements are the predominant aesthetic obsessions that can be observed in these works. This book offers practical examples and creative ideas for those seeking to create a home environment in line with one of the most important maxims of the century: Less is More.

Whether it's tracking the brillance of a falling star, peering at the craters and mountains of Venus, marveling over the intense colors of a cat's eye nebula, or losing yourself in the serenity of a starry night, this calendar provides an unprecedented photographic journey into space.
Each tear-off day includes awe-inspiring photographs of planets, nebulas, stars, galaxies, and other space phenomena and patterns; fun-fact photo captions; and anniversaries in space history, planet/star activity, and moon phases.
Customer Reviews:
Good, as always.......2007-03-08
I try to buy one of these calendars each year, and while the pictures are again outstanding this year, there are more typos and mistakes than usual (including one day that had a picture of a space suit and a description of the terrain on Mars, whoops!). Definitely a worthy buy for the pictures alone.

Garfield Collectors Guide...a must have!!.......2000-11-29
This Garfield Collector's Guide is great. Loaded with nice size full-color pictures and prices. My only disappointment was that there is no catagory for Garfield holiday ornaments. My sister decorates her holiday tree entirely with Garfield. It looks fantastic! I ordered this book for her, so that she may keep track of ornament values. Unfortunatly, this guide covers everything but. It has chapters on plush toys, banks, figurines, McDonalds/Burger King Pormotional items, and more. Everything but holiday ornaments, which is why I give it a 4-star.

Book Description
The Arhcaeology of Difference presents a new and radically different perspective on the archaeology of cross-cultural contact and engagement in the recent historical past. Using case studies from Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Micronesia, the contributors all share a concern with tracking the processes of contact between indigenous peoples and outsiders, primarily Europeans, across the varied physical and cultural landscapes of the region.

Book Description
Cellular toxicology has entered a new era. No longer are we concerned only with necrotic cell death produced by severe, acute insult (often to multiple intracellular targets) leading to disruption of the cell membrane. New advances in molecular and cellular biology are allowing the dissection of mechanisms of cell death involving more subtle targets within the cell. Toxicology has been very important, not only in understanding the mechanisms, nature, and severity of toxicity and thereby helping in risk assessment, but toxicology has also played a very important role in helping to understand basic biological processes. Historically this has perhaps been most evident in the use of toxic agents to interfere with specific reactions in the body and hence help to dissect out the mechanisms of metabolic processes. For example, the use of chemical inhibitors was very important in understanding the process of oxidative phosphorylation, or the tricarboxy

Book Description
Written by specialists in their fields, this book contains short reviews intended to highlight points of growing interest in mechanistic toxicology. The first section considers selected aspects of molecular mechanisms, including selectivity of toxic agents and repair processes in the nervous system, toxicity of oxygen, fibers and aflatoxins. The second section discusses the interactions of carcinogens with DNA, and other targets, and their relevance to both molecular dosimetry of exposure and development of cancer. The final part is concerned with cellular and genetic aspects and includes coverage of some of the most recent and rapidly developing problems in toxicology.

Book Description
During the last two decades, chemical and cellular studies have contributed enormously to our understanding of metal-induced carcinogenesis, and many hypotheses on the role of metals in pathophysiological processes have been investigated. In addition, new techniques are available to shed light on the mechanism of carcinogenesis in molecular terms. This conference on Molecular Mechanisms of Metal Toxicity and Carcinogenesis in September 2000 focused on the latest research in molecular mechanisms of metal-induced toxicity and carcinogenesis. The conference promoted a multidisciplinary investigative approach and included presentations from international experts on state-of-the-art information in this field.
