    Book Description

    Dieses Buch führt in eine Methodik des Entwerfens ein, bei der die Entwicklung und Integration des technologischen Fortschritts als kontinuierlicher Optimierungsprozess zwischen Gestaltung und Effizienz in der Architektur verstanden wird. Anhand von fünf prominenten Projekten, die in den letzten Jahren bei Petzinka Pink Architekten entstanden sind, werden technische Innovationen, planerische Zusammenhänge und übergreifende Entwicklungslinien systematisch dargestellt und kritisch reflektiert. Neben dem methodischen Zugang zu einer avancierten technologischen Architektur bietet dieses Buch also zugleich einen ersten umfassenden Einblick in das Werk eines der erfolgreichsten deutschen Architekturbüros, das durch außergewöhnliche Projekte wie die NRW-Landesvertretung in Berlin, die Parteizentrale der CDU in Berlin, das Düsseldorfer Stadttor und die Jahrhunderthalle in Bochum immer wieder Aufmerksamkeit erregt hat.

    overall a very shabby collection of plugin readme's, the only redemming feature is the CD that is included, which has some very nice tutorials on it.

    all in all, not a very good shot a book dealing with a very complicated programme

      Book Description

      Outsize graphics are now more than ever part of the environment. From the period adverts painted on the long-concealed sides of buildings to the latest in state- of-the-art high-tech digital building cladding, Outsize explores in detail the concept, design and application of large scale graphics. The book features the work of well-known designers around the world, and fully investigates the issues surrounding large scale graphic design, from exterior navigation and corporate identity to avoidable pitfalls such as visual pollution. On a practical note, it provides helpful design hints, ranging from what type sizes are visible at which distances to applying graphics on different substrates such as brick, glass or the body of a bus. There is also an explanation of the major techniques involved. Any designer working on graphics above desk-top size, from posters through interiors, buildings, exhibitions and vehicle liveries, will find Outsize an invaluable professional companion.

      Chris Foges, formerly editor of Graphics International magazine, is a London-based design writer and editor. He has written on design for a wide variety of publications in Europe and the US. This is his fourth book.

      Book Description

      Can America continue to be the powerhouse of the world economy during the era of globalization? America's Trade Follies controversially challenges the myths of the American trade deficit and the consequences of current US trade policy. Bernard K. Gordon argues that the global political economy is hardening into regional blocs, all of which are organized around a powerful economic base and suspicious of each other. This masterful analysis show that this division into regional blocs fundamentally threatens American prosperity by limiting US access to the world's richest and largest markets, and endangers US security by dividing the globe along economic and political lines. It is vital then that US trade policy recognizes that support for regional trade blocs is an act of political folly in a globalized economy.

      5 out of 5 stars An excellent manifesto supporting true international trade.......2003-08-01

      The author makes a convincing case that the development of large trading blocks actually hinders World trade. As an example, he mentions how the European Community (EC) is a trading block that consists in a protectionist fortress that hinders free trade with trading partners outside the EC.

      The advent of the EC, and the growing trade U.S. deficit has lead government officials to respond by developing a large trading block of its own to compete with the EC. This entails an expansion of NAFTA to eventually include all Central and South American countries.

      The author states that such a U.S. trade policy is misguided on several counts, because:

      First, the U.S. already accounts for over 40% of trade with the Americas. This share is far higher than either Japan or the EC share with the Americas. Thus, the U.S. has nothing to gain from spending much energy on expanding NAFTA; it already has achieved the end goal of being by far the dominant trading partner within this region.

      Second, the trade volume with Central and South America is minuscule compared to U.S. trade with Asia.

      Third, it is triggering a response in kind from both Japan and China who are now both working on developing and expanding a large and competing Asian trading block. The U.S. would loose a lot more market share of World Trade by this development (Asian trading block), than it would by expanding NAFTA. The author states that the impetus of developing an Asian trading block is a direct reaction to the U.S. effort in expanding NAFTA.

      Instead, the author suggests that the U.S. trade policy should be redirected along the following lines:

      First, the U.S. should abandon its pursuit of forming protectionist trading blocks.
      Second, it should promote free trade by giving its full support to the current round of the World Trade Organization (WTO). This is a far better option to promote free trade then working on bilateral free trade agreements (FTA) that are really protectionist in nature towards all trading partners excluded from the FTAs.
      Third, it should reduce or eliminate the tariffs it imposed on steel and textile. These domestic industries do not need to be protected anymore.
      Fourth, the U.S. should reduce its volume of agricultural subsidies. By doing so, it will be in a position to pressure the EC, and specifically France, to reduce its own huge agricultural subsidies.

      The author maintains that the U.S. misguided trade policy emanates from a misperception from the public and Congress regarding the U.S. trade performance. The perception is that U.S. is performing poorly in international trade as it incurs large trade deficits, and is getting routinely beaten by Japan, China, and the EC who routinely achieve large trade surpluses, especially with the U.S. This view is based on an outdated Mercantilist perspective that states that exports and trade surpluses are good and imports and trade deficits are bad. Nothing could be further from the truth. What really matters is the productivity of the labor force which is the engine behind a country's economic growth and rising living standard. Focusing on these more meaningful economic metrics (labor productivity, living standards, economic growth), the U.S. has beaten the socks out of its major trading partners, specifically Japan and the EC.

      The author brings two other interesting points. The first one is that the U.S. share of World trade has remained remarkably steady at around 12% to 13% over the past century. This negates the perception that the U.S. performance in international trade is weaker now than it used to. It clearly is not. The other point is that the U.S. trade mix is almost evenly distributed between the EC, Asia, and North America (Canada and Mexico). In other words, the U.S. has the most diversified and optimal mix of trading partners. As mentioned above, its pursuit of expanding trading blocks with the Americas will cause the U.S. to be increasingly locked out of trades with the other two major regions (Asia and EC). This would cause a decline in the U.S. diversification of trading partners. This is clearly not a favorable development as demonstrated by the author.

      In conclusion, this book is one of the most eloquent defense of true free trade. It can also be viewed as an equally eloquent attack on the formation of trading blocks including NAFTA, and the EC.

              Book Description

              Servants of Globalization is a poignant and often troubling study of migrant Filipina domestic workers who leave their own families behind to do the mothering and caretaking work of the global economy in countries throughout the world. It specifically focuses on the emergence of parallel lives among such workers in the cities of Rome and Los Angeles, two main destinations for Filipina migration.

              The book is largely based on interviews with domestic workers, but the book also powerfully portrays the larger economic picture as domestic workers from developing countries increasingly come to perform the menial labor of the global economy. This is often done at great cost to the relations with their own split-apart families. The experiences of migrant Filipina domestic workers are also shown to entail a feeling of exclusion from their host society, a downward mobility from their professional jobs in the Philippines, and an encounter with both solidarity and competition from other migrant workers in their communities.

              The author applies a new theoretical lens to the study of migration—the level of the subject, moving away from the two dominant theoretical models in migration literature, the macro and the intermediate. At the same time, she analyzes the three spatial terrains of the various institutions that migrant Filipina domestic workers inhabit—the local, the transnational, and the global. She draws upon the literature of international migration, sociology of the family, women’s work, and cultural studies to illustrate the reconfiguration of the family community and social identity in migration and globalization. The book shows how globalization not only propels the migration of Filipina domestic workers but also results in the formation of parallel realities among them in cities with greatly different contexts of reception.

              4 out of 5 stars Great book from a great scholar..........2006-11-02

              Parreñas, a scholar admired by many whose academic training, coupled with her linguistic skills, draws inquiring minds into the largely untapped world of Filipino international migration. The book critically situates the migration from a historical-structural perspective and yet focuses on the family as the unit of analysis which must negotiate between the state regulations of both sending and receiving countries, the financial realities of citizens from poor countries of the world, and the emotional hardships faced by family members. The study, in general, is an extremely important one because it taps into what is a "female" international labor migration, bound by related expectations of gender roles, thereby encouraging readers to rethink our gendered perspective of all labor migrations. In addition, the book offers an effective assessment of the critical role of the family to young children (the focus of her subsequent book), the challenges faced by poor populations of the world, and how the global economy is structured to benefit wealthy nations of the world. I highly recommend the book and have only a small criticism: though she has carefully helped us to see the gendered inequalities faced by female international migrants, at times in the book Parreñas herself seems quite unnecessarily judgemental of the very women whose predicaments she details.

              5 out of 5 stars A Powerful Book on the Healing Power of Men.......2003-12-07

              "In the Company of Men" is one of the best books I've read on both the psychology of men and the therapeutic effects of men's groups. The book is powerfully written with true stories from therapist Marvin Allen's clients and seminar participants, as well as from Allen's own life. Collaboration with writer Jo Robinson has made the book even more powerful by creating a structure that is easily understood. This collaboration has also produced an exciting flow to the narrative that makes it difficult to put the book down, even for a minute.

              Writer/therapists often do not reveal much about themselves in the books they write. Not true for Marvin Allen. He goes out of his way to identify with male readers by openly relating his own internal struggles as a man, including stories about his own therapy experiences.

              Men are different than women psychologically, and for the most part, respond best to therapeutic interventions that better meet their needs. Allen encourages the release of emotions in his therapeutic settings, not just talking about how his male clients feel. And most importantly, he is a strong proponent of group therapy. Allen believes that men heal best in the presence of other supportive men.

              A newer edition of this book is entitled: "Angry Men, Passive Men." I personally preferred the original title. Either edition is well worth reading, however.

              Book Description

              The defeat of Hitler on 8 May 1945 left Western Europe militarily vulnerable and economically exhausted. The Soviet Union, however, had since 1940 annexed 180,000 square miles of Eastern Europe, occupied a further 390,000 square miles, and now seemed poised to advance still further westwards with its six-million strong forces. The increasing Soviet threat brought forth demands for a permanent Western Military alliance, and on 4 April 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty was signed in Washington DC. This book explores the history, organization and uniforms of NATO armies - excluding the United States and Great Britain - as they were in the late 1980s.

              3 out of 5 stars Good Introductory work.......2002-07-03

              As an introductory work, for basic uniform details for most of the participating NATO members, this book is a decent deal for an overview of NATO during the 1980's. However, the work is dated and is in serious need of a update. Would have also appreciated if Osprey had included more thorough TOEs. I also understand why Osprey chose not to include British and American forces in the book, but then it makes the title a bit misleading.
