Dalí: The Paintings I-II.
Picasso called Dalí "an outboard motor that's always running." Dalí thought himself a genius with a right to indulge in whatever lunacy popped into his head. Painter, sculptor, writer, and filmmaker, Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) was one of the century's
greatest exhibitionists and eccentricsand was rewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went. He was one of the first to apply the insights of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis to the art of painting, approaching the subconscious with extraordina
ry sensitivity and imagination. This lively monograph presents the infamous Surrealist in full color and in his own words. His provocative imagery is all here, from the soft watches to the notorious burning giraffe. A friend of the artist for over th
irty years, privy to the reality behind Dalí`s public image, author Robert Descharnes is uniquely qualified to analyze Dalíboth the man and the myth.

Armageddon in Retrospect
First published on the anniversary of Kurt Vonnegut's death, "Armageddon in Retrospect" is a collection of twelve new and unpublished writings on war and peace. Imbued with Vonnegut's trademark rueful humour, the pieces range from a visceral nonfiction recollection of the destruction of Dresden during World War II - a piece that is as timely today as it was then - to a painfully funny short story about three privates and their fantasies of the perfect first meal upon returning home from war, to a darker, more poignant story about the impossibility of shielding our children from the temptations of violence. Also included in this title are Vonnegut's last speech as well as an assortment of his artwork, with an introduction by the author's son, Mark Vonnegut. "Armageddon in Retrospect" says as much about the times in which we live as it does about the genius of the writer.

Architecture In Cina
The past five years have seen a revolution in Chinese architecturethe emergence of independent designers, and a number of new starsand above all new and interesting buildings that are not the product of direct Western influence. These developments
have laid the groundwork for an indigenous modernity that differentiates itself from outside schools as well as eschewing the temptation to put a "Chinese-style" roof on ordinary office blocks. The fact that Beijing has been chosen to host the 2008 S
ummer Olympic Games has been more than a catalyst for the development of high-quality contemporary architecture in China. Major foreign firms like OMA/Rem Koolhaas or Herzog & de Meuron are participating in the design of buildings that will have func
tions during the Games, but Chinese architects, too, have been mobilized in this massive effort to prepare the country for an unprecedented level of world-wide attention.

Die schönsten Tierfabeln für Kinder
Wunderschöner Fabelschatz für die ganze Familie! Seit hunderten von Jahren kennen Kinder auf der ganzen Welt die Geschichte vom Hasen und der Schildkröte. Mit der Zeit wurde diese Fabel, wie viele andere, ausgeschmückt und verändert, aus der Schildkröte wurde ein Igel, aber die Botschaft blieb die gleiche: Beharrlichkeit führt oft zum Ziel! Am Beispiel der schlauen und einfallsreichen Tiere konnten Menschen zu allen Zeiten viel über sich selbst und das richtige Verhalten lernen, sodass Fabeln nie ihre Gültigkeit verloren und ihre Botschaft zu Sprichwörtern wurde, die wir heute alle kennen: Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall. Wenn sich zwei streiten, freut sich der Dritte. Dieser Band versammelt die schönsten Tierfabeln, liebevoll, kindgerecht und detailreich in Szene gesetzt von der bekannten Illustratorin Anne Suess und mit manch einem Augenzwinkern aus einem neuen Blickwinkel betrachtet! Ein wunderschöner und vergnüglicher Fabelschatz für Kinder ab 4 Jahren und für die ganze Familie zum Vorlesen, Betrachten und Schmökern! - Die schönsten und bekanntesten Tierfabeln in einem Band versammelt - Wunderschöne und kindgerechte Illustrationen laden zum Schmökern und Entdecken ein - Ein ideales Vorlesebuch für die ganze Familie
