Over the course of the nineteenth century, drastic social and political changes, technological innovations, and exposure to non-Western cultures affected Germanys built environment in profound ways. The economic challenges of Germanys colonial project forced architects designing for the colonies to abandon a centuries-long, highly ornamental architectural style in favor of structural technologies and building materials that catered to the local contexts of its remote colonies, such as prefabricated systems. As German architects gathered information about the regions under their influence in Africa, Asia, and the Pacificduring expeditions, at international exhibitions, and from colonial entrepreneurs and officialsthey published their findings in books and articles and organized lectures and exhibits that stimulated progressive architectural thinking and shaped the emerging modern language of architecture within Germany itself. Offering in-depth interpretations across the fields of architectural history and postcolonial studies, Itohan Osayimwese considers the effects of colonialism, travel, and globalization on the development of modern architecture in Germany from the 1850s until the 1930s. Since architectural developments in nineteenth-century Germany are typically understood as crucial to the evolution of architecture worldwide in the twentieth century, this book globalizes the history of modern architecture at its founding moment. **

p itemprop=description In Dagboek van een poes is Poef aan het woord, een oplettende poes die met het verteltalent en de opmerkingsgave van haar geestelijk schepper vertelt over haar dagelijks bestaan. Poef gunt ons een kijkje in het leven met Staartloze Tweebenigen, zijn huisgenoten Rok en Bril en ook de rode kater Harry, de Terreur van de Tuinen. Ze vult haar dagen met muizen vangen, vluchten voor het Dreigend Ding (de stofzuiger), af en toe een vaas omgooien of een praatje aanknopen met een andere kat. Dagboek van een poes wordt op dit bijzondere luisterboek op levendige wijze voorgelezen door de schrijver zelf. Door Camperts elegante voordracht en onnavolgbare inlevingsvermogen groeit Poef uit tot de aandoenlijkste poes in de Nederlandse literatuur. Recencie(s) De eigen familiepoes van huize Campert staat centraal in dit dagboek. Haar foto staat op de omslag en haar belevenissen en gedachten vormen de inhoud van dit amusante boekje. Het gaat om een nog jonge, maar vroegwijze poes die kennis maakt met het gezinsleven, de dierenarts, de vakantie in Frankrijk, de buurtpoezen en de heersende kater van de tuinen. Veel van de belevenissen zullen kattenbezitters bekend voorkomen. Ze zijn boeiend beschreven in de bekende Campertstijl weinig woorden, maar elk woord is van waarde. Dat past uitstekend bij het beschreven poezenbestaan. Een amusant boekje, vooral voor de vele kattenliefhebbers. Normale druk.Wolter van der Zwaan (source Bol.com)

THE I
130991
Author: Felia Allum
File Type: pdf
The organized crime group that dominates much of the socioeconomic life of contemporary Naples, the Camorra, is organized by kin and geography, and it is notoriously the most violent, fractious, and disorganized mafia in Italy. The Camorra controls local extortion rackets, the drug and counterfeit trades, and other legal and illicit activities as well as wielding substantial political influence throughout Naples and its environs. Felia Allum has been researching the Camorra for twenty years, and inThe Invisible Camorrashe reveals a surprising alteration in Camorra behavior when operatives live outside the Neapolitan base. When gang members move away from Naples, having been forced out by intense policing and gang competition, they are attracted by business opportunities that, on the whole, fit in with their usual activities. When they move to other parts of Western Europe and are therefore no longer criminals simply by virtue of mafia association as they are in Italy, they become largely invisible. Gang members avoid the spectacular deployment of violence, they merge quietly into local life, they keep themselves to themselves, and, when necessary, use legitimate local actors such as lawyers and accountants to further their economic well-being.Allum has constructed a meticulous description and analysis of Camorra activities abroad. To build accounts of the Camorra in Germany and the Netherlands, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom, she has interviewed investigating magistrates, police officers, and confessed criminals done substantial mining of Italian and European police data and made extensive use of judicial investigations, court records and transcripts as well as of journalistic accounts. The result is the first systematic analysis of the overseas activities of this major criminal organization.**

HAIR
76350
Author: Scott Lowe
File Type: pdf
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Hair, a primary marker of our mammalian nature, is an extraordinary indicator of economic and social standing, political orientation, religious affiliation, marital status, and cultural leanings, among other things. The meanings of hair are deep, powerful, and so strongly embedded in cultural conditioning that they are usually understood unconsciously (and all the more strongly for that). In untangling its myriad meanings, Scott Lowe reveals just how little we control our hair, no matter the style each and every passer-by decides on its significance anew. From Hittites to hippies and Pentecostals to porn stars, Hair combs through a ubiquitous personal yet public object, a charged and carefully managed dead thing. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic. **

COMMU
57363
Author: Manuel Castells
File Type: pdf
Hailed by The Financial Times as the most prominent and influential theorist and analyst of the modern communications and network age, Manuel Castells here offers a ground-breaking account of the modern communication revolution, a dramatic transformation of technology--and of the signals we receive--that is changing the way we feel, think, and behave. And that, writes Castells, is creating a revolution in power. With his landmark trilogy, The Information Age, Castells offered one of the first comprehensive analyses of how the Internet was creating a networked society. Now he draws on neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and case histories from around the world to explore the psychology of decision making in the new communications environment, highlighting the rise of communication power. He ranges widely, exploring global media deregulation, the misinformation that surrounded the invasion of Iraq, environmental movements, the role of the Internet in the Obama presidential campaign, and media control in Russia and China. In a network society, he writes, politics is fundamentally media politics--and the politics of scandal is its epitome. That fact is behind a worldwide crisis of political legitimacy that challenges the meaning of democracy in much of the world. More fundamentally, Castells argues, the Internets instant messaging, social networking, and blogging have given rise a new communication system, mass self-communication, that is profoundly altering power relationships. Deeply researched, far-reaching in scope, and incisively argued, Communication Power offers a profound new understanding of implications of the information revolution. Castells has done it again, a masterpiece of global perspective and enviable erudition. --W. Russell Neuman, Evans Professor of Media Technology, University of Michigan A powerful and much needed book for a world in crisis. --Antonio Damasio, Director, Brain and Creativity Institute, University of Southern CaliforniaReviewOf much value... Manuel Castells has shaped himself into the most prominent and influential theorist and analyst of the modern communications and network age.--Financial TimesProvides a bevy of illustrious examples of how grassroots campaigns could use the internet to bring public attention to issues as diverse as climate change and the war in Iraq.--ForbesCastells is a synthesizer and meta-theoretician. He reaches far and wide to bring together disparate elements to his arguments. This is his amazing strength as a seminal figure in modern scholarship.... Reading Communication Power is rather like taking a great birding dog out for a walk every nook and cranny must be sniffed and explored with endearing enthusiasm before moving on in a bound to the next point of discovery.--Political CommunicationManuel Castells unites the mind of a social scientist with the soul of an artist. His trilogy took us to the edge of the millennium. This book takes us beyond to the critical crossroads of the 21st century, where technology, communication, and power converge.--Rosalind Williams, Dibner Professor and Director, Program on Science, Technology and Society, Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyCastells has done it again, a masterpiece of global perspective and enviable erudition. Moving beyond his trilogy on the information age, Castells focuses on how cultural, economic and particularly political power relationships are constituted and sustained through systematic communication flows. ... Case studies include global media deregulation, the politics of scandal, framing the war in Iraq, ecological social movements, the Obama presidential candidacy and a fascinating comparison of media control dynamics in Russia and China.--W. Russell Neuman, Evans Professor of Media Technology, University of MichiganHow could Manuel Castells have predicted that now is the time of the perfect storm? I do not know. But I do know that his new book coincides with the largest downturn in global economies since the 1930s, with the most important American election since the 1960s, with a most radical transformation of world politics in many generations, and with the most profound reevaluation of the lives of modern citizens, from what they value to how they communicate. ... This is a powerful and much needed book for a world in crisis.--Antonio Damasio, David Dornsife Professor of Neuroscience, Director, Brain and Creativity Institute, University of Southern CaliforniaThat Manuel Castells new book raises so many difficult questions is testimony to both its richness and timeliness. -- The British Journal of SociologyAn impressive, interdisclipinary narrative about the politics of contemporary communication that confirms [Castells] status as one of the worlds leading media scholars. --Contemporary SociologyAbout the AuthorManuel Castells is Wallis Annenberg Professor of Communication Technology and Society at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, and Research Professor of Information Society at the Open University of Catalonia, Barcelona. He is also a Distinguished Visiting Professor of Technology and Society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a Distinguished Visiting Professor of Internet Studies at the University of Oxford. He is the author of twenty-two books, including the three-volume The Information Age.
