Book Description
Baumschlager & Eberle gelten als "shooting stars" der Vorarlberger Architekturszene. Sie können seit Mitte der achtziger Jahre ein breites Spektrum an Bauaufgaben verzeichnen. Das besondere Interesse und ein Schwerpunkt der Tätigkeit des Büros gilt dem Wohnbau in all seinen Facetten – vom preisgünstigen, teilweise im Selbstbau realisierten Einfamilienhaus über typologisch differenzierte, städtische Geschoßwohnungsbauten bis hin zu Wohnanlagen in urbanen Randzonen. Das Know-how, das die Architekten im Verlauf ihrer Wohnbautätigkeit erworben haben, verdichtet sich in diesem Band zu einer "Wohnbautheorie". Es geht um Typologiefragen sowie Energie- und Kostenoptimierung, um milieuspezifische Themen, um standortspezifische Fragen, aber auch um Wohnungsgrundrisse, um den wohnungsbezogenen Außenraum und die Qualität der Gebäudehülle. Dieser theoretischen Ebene ist eine pragmatische Anschauungsebene parallelgeschaltet, die anhand zahlreicher Bauten und Projekte des Teams Lösungsvarianten der verschiedenen thematischen Fragestellungen präsentiert."

Amazing book.......2001-11-04
This is a wonderful resource for information on Hannah Hoch, and Berlin dada. Great account of Hannah's life,
and a complete collection of her work.
Hannah Hoch, Artist.......2001-07-13
I admit I don't know much about art, that's why I read this book. I learned a lot about the Dada movement and also about Ms. Hoch. I'm still not sure if she is much of an artist, but I know she makes a damn fine sandwich.

Book Description
A fresh look at the laws of nature, in startling, beautiful, and at times unsettling detail.
Working with a menagerie of insects and animals she raises in her New York City studio, Catherine Chalmers makes images that ask us to examine the lives we ordinarily overlook. What we find is by turns surprising, humorous, and thought
provoking.
In the series of photographs that gives the book its title, Chalmers vividly sketches the links between predator and prey, eater and eaten, from plant to insect to amphibian. Against a stark white background, caterpillars eat a tomato, a praying mantis eats a caterpillar, and a frog and a tarantula each eat a praying mantis. Another section, focused on "pinkies" (the pet-trade name for baby mice), shows with chilling clarity that the laws of nature apply equally to mammals as to the so-called "lower" life-forms. A series of photographs of praying mantises mating-during and after which the female devours the male-captures the metaphorical power and strange beauty of this infamous habit. The book includes an essay by the critically acclaimed nature writer Gordon Grice and a provocative interview with Chalmers by Aperture executive editor Michael L. Sand.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent & Odd.......2006-10-13
This book is truly odd, but weirdly invigorating. Anyone who ever had a pet give birth, be it a hamster or a dog, will find the section on pinkies unsettling. I think this is a great book.
it's like a car accident.......2002-04-23
I must say this is a pretty cool book although not for the squeamish. Graphic full color photographs that read like crime scene photographs or stills from a horror movie.
There's the sexy display between two praying mantis before the male becomes a post-coitus snack. Another praying mantis dances merrily on the head of a fat shiny toad before meeting its inevitable end. Caterpillars greedily gorge themselves on tomatoes only to be sucked dry by more ever present praying mantis.
The most graphic scenes though are the ones with the pinkies. Pinkies being born amongst a white blood smeared backdrop only to be gobbled up by another fat toad.
It's sick to look at and even a bit morbid at times, but it's Mother Nature and a testament to the circle of life and the survival of the fittest.
cool photographs.......2001-09-08
Truly fascinating but not for those with weak stomachs.
The book consists of excellent photographs of various critters (bugs, frogs, spiders, mice, snakes, etc.) eating or being eaten by others. Not for the squeamish.
The more prudish reader might also be disgusted by the scenes of hot, steamy preying mantis sex.
For those with the stomach for it, the material presented in this work provides a fascinating and detailed view of a small part of the world we live in.
Fantastic. Brilliant. Phenomena and Occasionally Revolting........2001-02-28
Fantastic. Brilliant. Phenomena and Occasionally Revolting. I want more.
"Life is Hard and Then You Die," I saw this bumper sticker on the rear of a car about the same time I got "FoodChain." I felt that this would be a great subtitle for this provocative book. The photography is stunning and Aperture, one of the leading publishers of fine art photography, has done a dazzling job in portraying the moments between life and death. Catherine Chalmers has given the layperson insight into the world that we live in but seldom see. Her progressive plates vividly take you from birth to death and then back again to birth. Caterpillar eats tomato, praying mantis eats caterpillar, tarantula and a frog eat praying mantis, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
If you thought sex was fatal because of the roulette of disease in our world today, consider the bazaar appreciation that a male praying mantis gets from his lover. Chalmers captures the strange "thank you" the female gives by devouring the male-head first. This book is a collectible and should be in your hands and library. Highly Recommended
Shocking, yet beautiful.......2000-05-15
This book contains stunning, yet extremely graphic photography which portrays animals, such as frogs, praying mantises, and tarantulas in mating dances, meeting their prey, and devouring fruit. While you can't say that "no animals were harmed in the making of this book" it is a book that brings you face-to-face with animals in their natural behavior. It is a wonderful book and is worth checking out.
Book Description
This very successful textbook is distinguished by a superior writing style that draws upon common student experiences to introduce economic concepts, making economic theory more accessible and interesting. "Case Studies" and numerous examples take advantage of students' intuitive knowledge of economics, building upon real-life situations.

A fully integrated program of technology enhancements sets this text apart by pairing the book with numerous online multimedia learning tools that have been developed to help the text better serve a wide range of learning styles. The text uniquely integrates classroom use of The Wall Street Journal by including a complimentary student subscription offer, as well as in-text pedagogy to help students learn to analyze the latest economic events as reported in the Journal. Split volume available for the one-term principles of macroeconomics course, as well as a principles volume (Macro/Micro) for the two-term Principles of Economics course.
Customer Reviews:
Book is ok.......2004-05-07
This book is ok. It is very wordy, and again, economics is not like chemistry or calculus. At last, it is a social science. It takes about 4 pages of reading to get one useful concept. I just hope other econ classes won't use books as wordy as this one.

This is not what I wanted.......2007-02-19
I thought I was ordering the text for my micro econ course.. When I actually received the it, it was a condensed version of the text "To accompany the text," that's weak sauce. It's more than likely that it was my fault for not noticing, but it should be more obvious that this is not the text.
Great!.......2007-01-16
I recieved the book a couple days after I ordered it and it was in perfect condition! I am very happy with my purchase!!!
Fast service..........2007-01-03
I pick a next day delivery for this product and yes i received it on time... it arrived around 11 the next day and the product was great asset to my economic studies...

Solid Up To Date Information, tho not too much new info here.......2002-11-19
A good overview for new agents, full of forms, prospecting ideas, organizational tips, marketing ideas, as well as computer and technology tips. It gives simple basics for dialogues, ads, listings, tools of the trade, closings, farming, mailers, and prospecting. My only complaint is that is simplifies some processes .... for example FSBO's. "Every Sunday, FSBO's wait to be called by agents". Yeah right! But overall, there is a good bit of information on almost every subject here, most are covered very well, though from a pretty basic standpoint. Recommended for new agents, or agents in a lull. The forms are excellent, better than the Carla Cross books (tho they are great in other ways!). This one book does cover subjects you might have to buy 5 or 6 others in the field to get. Very helpful resource. Try also Carla Cross, Dirk Zeller, Bob Boog, or Danielle Kennedy. Recommended by NAR.
