What is Amazon doing?.......2006-03-06
Why has Amazon included reviews of the De Groote and Miller/Hull books in the Ten Houses series under Gwathmey Siegel? Like Architects, was their intent to do it correctly, but they just ran out of time?
True Northwest Architecture.......2001-02-16
This book represents an extrodianry environmental focus for design. The houses created by the Miller/Hull Partnership display architecture originality combined with a keen knowledge of the northwest. Each house is created in harmony with it's surrounding environment--a beautiful representation of both art and archecture.
Please note the customer review entitled, "Architecture Reference Book," does not reflect the correct designer. The architects represented in this book are David Miller, Bob Hull, Norm Strong, and other very talented designers from the Miller/Hull Partnership.
Architecture Reference Book.......2000-05-24
The book reviews ten houses designed by Christian De Groote which are built in Chile round about 1988 to 1991. All the houses are contemporary and there are good photos of the houses. There is not much explination or description, however this is nor really expected of an Architecture book, since Architecture is more of a view and see experience. I thought that Christian in his designs had many great ideas. Perhaps he is not the most famous designer but I liked his designs very much and hope to incorporate some of the design ideas in the house I am building.

Book Description
Eduardo Souto de Moura (*1952, Portugal) studied architecture at the School of Fine Arts in his home town. He has been awarded several prestigious European prizes. His recent work includes houses in the Rua Lugarintho, the renovation of the Municipal Market in Braga, the Portuguese Pavilion at the Expo 2000 in Hanover, Germany, and a project for the Braga Stadium.
Book Description
Eduardo Souto de Moura (*1952 in Porto) arbeitete schon während seines Architekturstudiums bei Alvaro Siza. Seit 1980 hat er ein eigenes Büro in Porto. Heute zählt Souto de Moura mit seinen puristisch-stimmungsvollen Bauten zu den bekanntesten Architekten der iberischen Halbinsel und genießt internationale Anerkennung. "Ich begann quasi bei null und habe mich auf das Essentielle in der Architektur konzentriert. Das grundlegendste Element ist selbstredend die Mauer." Souto de Moura gelingt dabei die Verbindung der Steinmetztradition Portugals mit abstraktmodernen Bauformen, wobei Architekturen von bezwingender Schönheit entstehen. Werner Blaser vermittelt, mit seinem sicheren Gespür für das Nicht-Zeit-gebundene und Überdauernde, einen inspirierenden Querschnitt durch Souto de Mouras Schaffen mit besonderer Berücksichtigung des Bauelements Stein.

Product Description
What will be remembered in the annals of Portugese architectural theory with regard to the architecture invented by Eduardo Souto moura is its efficacy. Against a backdrop of eleganta simplicity, the founding precepts of the design create cleansed, minimalist spaces of baroque expression regarding light, the sucession of varied visual planes, the relationsihip with materials and a richness of details. His importantce as an artistic creator of his capacity for poetic and professional resolution go behind the mere physical value of his works and become part of the new extension of the idea of modernity in Portugese architecture. Eduardo Souto Moura can be included within the long line of Organized Resistant Archiecture whic was developed in Oporto. . . .

not bad.......2002-01-18
Its ok, not as good as Thom Taylors book, but its good. It also has a nice part which is about various car artists, including Thom Taylor.
I didnt like that most of the pictures are not shown in colour.
Just a few pages are coloured and the rest isnt. There are colour drawings printed in black/white. I think thats stupid.
But the book isnt bad, worth getting if your interested in auto art.

Graphic SF Reader.......2007-09-03
Batman and Wonder Woman come into conflict when a young woman, wanted for involvement in a crime seeks sanctuary at Diana's Amazon embassy. By her laws and beliefs she must take the girl in.
The girl has cleverly discovered this Hiketeia clause, and WW will fight Batman over it if she has to.
This does not end well.
Rucka's best Wonder Woman by far.......2007-08-19
Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia is a bit of a rarity these days as it is not a collection of previously published comics but an original graphic novel. Written by Greg Rucka and penciled by J.G. Jones, this book was certainly created by A-list talent and features stars to match in Wonder Woman and Batman. The story features a fugitive from justice (and Batman) who seeks a form of sanctuary from Wonder Woman invoking a ritual known as the Hiketeia. The ritual offers Wonder Woman no decision to refuse, she has to accept as long as the supplicant obeys the strictures of the ritual. This inevitably brings Batman and Wonder Woman into conflict and sets up an interesting situation of the ethics and responsibilities of all the involved parties.
I am not a big fan of Wonder Woman and am definitely not a fan of Greg Rucka's writing but this story is an exception. It's well paced and the characterizations are very well portrayed. Rucka manages to create a fairly unique situation for the characters that allows us to see how they react in a situation neither is really comfortable with. Jones is an excellent artist probably best known at the moment for the covers he painted for 52. All in all, there's a lot to like here and not much to criticize really. It's easy to recommend for anyone looking for a good story.
A disappointment.......2006-08-15
I had high hopes for this GN because it features two of my favorite characters: Wonder Woman and Batman, and because I admire Greg Rucka as a writer and usually enjoy his work. I was disappointed.
The idea is a good one, and the writing and illustration are very good. The problem is that the story is underdeveloped. The narrative barely begins before it ends, rather abruptly, 90 pages later.
The Supplicant says at one point that she had studied ancient Greece so that she could learn to be like Wonder Woman, but she doesn't really say why, or how (or even where). She tells a sad story that explains her earlier actions, but doesn't adequately outline how it came about. In a graphic format, you have to show everything--it is not enough to throw out a sentence in passing and leave the rest to the reader's imagination.
Diana's motivation is never really explained, either, unless you can accept the worn-out premise that Diana does everything out of goodness and duty. That's fine as far as it goes, but a good story these days requires a bit more. Although I think the parallel we are supposed to make is to political asylum, but that doesn't really suffice since Diana takes the trouble to point out (and later demonstrate) that she was under NO obligation to accept the petition. The explanation of why she feels it is her duty to accept THIS supplicant without question is feeble, particularly in light of the enormity of the supplicant's crime. Diana should have known better than to make such a pledge without getting a few facts first.
That, I suppose, is one of the weaknesses of the Wonder Woman character. She (along with her buddy Superman) is a person of action, and frequently does things without thinking them through first. Batman is a thinker and a researcher and always has a plan A and B. This is probably why most Wonder Woman/Batman team-ups consist largely of them beating the tar out of one another. The Hiketeia is no different. Most of the 90 pages are devoted to Wonder Woman and Batman knocking their equally stubborn foreheads together.
The story is wrapped up very quickly and very conveniently, yet without a sense of closure. It's as if the writer and artists didn't really have their hearts in it, and handed over to DC the bare minimum for publication. When I closed The Hiketeia, I felt cheated out of $14.99 and the 20 minutes I spent reading. Nobody likes a tease, and that's all this is.
Excellent in its purpose, with only a few flaws........2005-08-27
If the purpose of The Hiketeia was to give us a closer look at Diana and what makes her tick, it did so in grand fashion. I love action and I'm happy I didn't know beforehand that this story is mainly devoid of it. There is tension, to be sure, but very little in the way of combat. Rather, this is a study of Diana of Themyscira and her motivations.
She is a character steeped in tradition and religion. With the Bam! Pow! action of super-hero comics in general, there haven't been great opportunities to explore her motivations in depth. That's not to gloss over what Perez and other excellent writers (excluding Byrne) have done in her series. By and large they've done well in presenting the origin and life that shaped and defined Wonder Woman. The elements that make her unique among her peers. However, sometimes, a quiet moment is needed for that really close look.
The Hiketeia is full of quiet moments. Diana sipping coffee from a mug with the Superman logo, making sandwiches for Danielle, signing autographs. We also see the Themyscira embassy, beautifully illustrated. None of this is boring as these quiet moments happen within the context of a powerful dillemma. Diana respects and obeys the modern laws of the United States. She also respects and honors the ancient laws of her religion.
She is clearly unhappy with the demands of her bonded duty. She doesn't want to fight Batman. She doesn't want to harbor criminals. So she grimly stays the course, honoring the Hiketeia and waiting for what will be.
She doesn't have an optimistic, "I'm sure it will all work out." approach. She feels that this will be tragic in one way or another. But, so be it.
I understand the negative reaction of some readers to her stubborn acceptance of the Hiketeia, willing to allow it to affect one of the closest friendships she has. But, this is what makes her tick. This is Diana. She was raised in the environment of the Greek gods. She does not view her religion or traditions as something pliable. These things are not negotiable, and tragic fates are often the norm. She is an ambassador to our culture, not of our culture.
And really, Batman is the same. The story illustrated that he is just as bound to the personal religion of justice he has formed for himself.
Diana could have tried to give a little and hand over the girl as long as she accompanied her. Batman could have given a little and worked with Diana through the Hiketeia angle.
Neither did. Because both are absolutely bound to their beliefs.
The story would not have worked with, say, Black Canary and Superman. Because each of those characters, while steadfast in their pursuit of justice, are open to compromise. Their origins were not forged in the same severe fires as Wonder Woman and Batman.
So, I enjoyed this story as a look at two implacable heroes, each on the opposite side of a problem.
All Star Writing, All Star Illustration.......2005-04-07
The best thing about this book, aside from the art, is its very simple premise. "What happens when ideologies clash?"
Greg Rucka did a fantastic job of picking two DC characters that are very opinionated in their ideologies. And its just a matter of telling the right story to see which one of them will you believe in.

Book Description
It is increasingly important for companies and organizations to produce, share and use knowledge on a national and global scale. However, little is known on how sectors and organizations could use knowledge more efficiently and how to benchmark organizations as learning organizations. This book is an ambitious attempt to address these issues through a better understanding of knowledge and learning processes at a sectorial level. It analyzes and compares the processes of knowledge production, dissemination and use in the engineering, information and communication technology, health, and education sectors.

Book Description
Es ist immer wieder erstaunlich, wie selten die Verfahren und Methoden des Projektmanagements konsequent eingesetzt werden. Viele problembehaftetete Projekte sprechen hier eine eindeutige Sprache. Kenntnisse des Projektmanagements und seine Anwendungsmöglichkeiten sind für IT-Manager und IT-Entwickler unentbehrlich. In diesem Buch werden die wichtigsten Verfahren und Methoden des PM vorgestellt. Der Praxisbezug wird durch die umfangreichen praktischen Kenntnisse der Autoren in der Führung von IT-Projekten hergestellt und resultiert in konkreten Handlungsempfehlungen für den Einsatz des Projektmanagement-Instrumentariums.
Book Description
In an increasingly complex and open context, higher education institutions must development real information strategies. Thanks to progress in information technology, the major responsibilities of these institutions - teaching and learning, research, documentation, management and administration - can be handled more efficiently than in the past. But moving to an institutional strategy requires certain conditions which are carefully analyzed in this volume. Depending on institutional planning, the size and specificity of student-owned computing (which implies the emergence of the "electronic campus") and the changes in the role of institutional computing centers must all be considered. In addition, the growing autonomy of institutions of higher education implies that executive information systems must also be developed. Finally, creating a complete, integrated system for using information technology implies that finance and cost-related problems of such a strategy be resolved. Case studies complete the presentation of the issues.
