ASIN: 8495951835 |
Book Description
These designs for a "low speed," "rurban," neighborhood in Valencia, Spain, created by 13 international architecture firms (Toyo Ito, MVRDV, FOA, Fran ois Roche and others) under the direction of Vicente Guallart, look again at public housing as a site for architectural utopianism. Each contributor was asked to bring an agricultural sensibility to the high-density project, and to use as a guide the inhabited orchards and gardens that had once anchored local communities. The results include both open meadows and Toyo Ito's stacked lawns, a parking structure of vegetation. While these plans and drawings were gathered in time for the Valencia Biennial and shown there, hey are not just art; the community plans to build them and thus to influence development elsewhere.

Alex Katz: The Woodcuts and Linocuts 1951-2001
Merlin James , Peter Blum , and Alex Katz Manufacturer: Peter Blum Edition ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0935875190 Release Date: 2002-01-02 |
Book Description
"Alex Katz's very first prints included wood- and linocuts, but it was not until 1986 that he finally returned to the technique he had used 30 years prior. This book celebrates and reproduces in detail the complete collection of the woodcuts and linocuts that Katz has made since 1951, works that bring out the angular, awkward articulations, emotional ambivalence, and psychological complexity of his best work. All 78 prints are also reproduced in an informative color fold-out insert at the back of the catalogue."

Jump Cut!: Memoirs of a Pioneer Television Editor
Arthur Schneider Manufacturer: McFarland & Company ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0786403454 |
Book Description
During his 40-year career, the author became one of the industry's most respected television editors, receiving seven Emmy nominations and winning four times. But it was as a master of the jump cut-an editing style in which a sudden cut from one shot to another is made without a fadeout-that he is most remembered, and the term became his nickname. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the development of television, from the days when some editing was done with a razor blade and tape to the electronic editing of today.Customer Reviews:

Institutional Designs for a Complex World: Bargaining, Linkages, and Nesting
Manufacturer: Cornell University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0801484642 |
Book Description
How do established global institutions adapt to new circumstances? And how are the formation and evolution of regional institutions constrained by global ones? These questions, especially relevant for today's transforming Europe, are at the center of Institutional Designs for a Complex World. In this volume, respected scholars explore the possibilities for reconciling regional and global institutions by nesting one within the other, or by creating parallel institutions that deal with separate but related activities.The authors use an innovative theoretical framework to analyze the factors that lead to institutional bargaining games. They show how institutional innovation and the use of linkages might alter such games. Their essays, published here for the first time, examine the development of the Financial Support Fund, the European Economic Area, institutional competition and conflict in the Bosnian crisis, and problems in the European Monetary System. They reveal the advantages for international cooperation of both parallel and substantive institutional reconciliation, and provide a model for understanding institution-building and modification beyond the European experience.

Backyard Birding in the Northeast United States
Elmer Waldemar Eriksson Manufacturer: Seven Locks Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1931643040 |
Book Description
When men settled on the land in the Northeast United States they cleared land and started raising crops for their families and for trade. The birds in the area thrived in this manmade environment, taking advantage of the abundance of seed and the increase in the insect population. The last thirty or so years has led to the conversion of the land from largely agrarian to a more suburban and urban environment. The result has been a substantial loss of food and shelter for the birds of the region.For the sake of birds and, in turn, for the best interest of man, it is important for homeowners to do what they can to make up for this debilitating loss. Bird feed and shelter is especially important during the brutal winter months of the Northeast when the bird's caloric intake has to increase but the supply of food has dwindled.
This book gives homeowners a number of ideas for birdhouses, birdfeeders, and bird food options so they can more efficiently help the birds in their area. Not only will the birds thrive but also they will bring their delightful colors and wonderful sounds to the backyards of the conscientious bird lover.
