New York Architecture and Design
Big Apple - Haupstadt der Welt - das sind einige der Bezeichnungen, mit denen man New York im Laufe seiner Geschichte zu definieren suchte. Jedoch kann man diese faszinierende und vibrierende Stadt nur schlecht mit Worten beschreiben. Da die Stadt eine sehr günstige, geographische Lage einnimmt und das Haupteingangstor zum neuen Kontinent war, ihre Wirtschaft mit Schwindel erregender Geschwindigkeit wächst und sie Treffpunkt für die Kulturen der Welt ist, definiert sie sich auch fortwährend selbst neu.
Tokyo Architecture & Design
Tokyo constitutes the most populated metropolitan area on the planet&894 it’s houses 33 million inhabitants who get around on the world’s most complex railroad system, as well as enjoying the highest number of restaurants per inhabitant in the world. It is also, possibly, the megalopolis with the highest proportion of recent architecture. Despite the fact that Tokyo’s origins date back to the 17th century _ when it was known as Edo _ and that it went trough a golden age at the end of the 19th century after being declared the capital of Japan, little remains of its original architecture as result of two significant events that almost completely destroyed it: an earthquake in 1923, which triggered plans for a rebuilding programme that proved unfeasible due to the high cost, and the bombardments of World War II, which almost halved the population.In no other city are the boundaries between inside and outside, public and private, up and down as blurred as in Tokyo&894 this lack of frontiers has shaped an urban setting without parallel, which is reflected equally by the most state-of-the-art skyscraper and the most intimate store. This amalgam of architectural typologies has established itself as a reference point for designers from all over the world.
Traffic Design
Since the last century, most of the public space has been designed for and around the automobile. Gradually, a mostly undifferentiated infrastructure developed into landmark architecture, with buildings and constructions of all kinds that interpret and mark the contemporary's ”automobile way of life”. Be it parking garages, gas stations, wash-cafés, bridges or motor hotels: the subject has a surprising lot of designs to offer. Paolo Tumminelli’s ”Traffic design” shows recent interesting projects from the whole world.

Les Contemplations
Qu'est-ce que Les Contemplations? C'est l'existence humaine sortant de l'énigme du berceau et aboutissant l'énigme du cercueil; c'est un esprit qui marche de lueur en lueur en laissant derrire lui la jeunesse, l'amour, l'illusion, le combat, le désespoir, et qui s'arrte éperdu au bord de l'infini " (Préface). Le recueil des Contemplations rassemble des textes écrits par Hugo sur plus de vingt ans, et classés selon une chronologie fictive. De la célbre Réponse un acte d'accusation, o le pote pose en révolutionnaire de la langue, Ce que dit la bouche d'ombre, inspiré de l'expérience du spiritisme, en passant par les pomes sur la mort de Léopoldine, ce sont les mémoires d'une âme qui se dessinent en creux. Parues en 1856 entre Les Châtiments et La Légende des sicles, Les Contemplations marquent le sommet de l'uvre poétique de Victor Hugo."

Jean de Florette
Au village des Bastides Blanches, on hait ceux de Crespin. C'est pourquoi lorsque Jean Cadoret, le Bossu, s'installe la ferme des Romarins, on ne lui parle pas de la source cachée. Ce qui facilite les manuvres des Soubevran, le Papet et son neveu Ugolin. qui veulent lui racheter son domaine bas prix... Jean de Florette (1962), premier volume de L'Eau des collines, marque, trente ans aprs Pirouettes, le retour de Pagnol au roman. C'est l'épopée de l'eau nourricire sans laquelle rien n'est possible. Marcel Pagnol y développe l'histoire du pre de Manon, évoquée sous forme de flash-back dans le filin Manon des sources (1952). Les dialogues sont savoureux, et la prose aussi limpide que dans les Souvenirs d'enfance. Quant au Papet et Ugolin, la fois drôles et terrifiants, ils sont parmi les créations les plus complexes de Pagnol. Tri comprends, s'ils avaient bu l'eau de la citerne, c'est sr qu'ils seraient morts tous les trois, et moi ça m'aurait embté. D'avoir bouché la source, c'est pas criminel : c'est pour les illets. Mais si, cause de ça, il y avait des morts, eh bien peut-tre qu'aprs nous n'en parlerions pas, mais nous y penserions."

White Tiger
Balram Halwai is the White Tiger - the smartest boy in his village. His family is too poor for him to afford for him to finish school and he has to work in a teashop, breaking coals and wiping tables. But Balram gets his break when a rich man hires him as a chauffeur, and takes him to live in Delhi. The city is a revelation. As he drives his master to shopping malls and call centres, Balram becomes increasingly aware of immense wealth and opportunity all around him, while knowing that he will never be able to gain access to that world. As Balram broods over his situation, he realizes that there is only one way he can become part of this glamorous new India - by murdering his master."The White Tiger" presents a raw and unromanticised India, both thrilling and shocking - from the desperate, almost lawless villages along the Ganges, to the booming Wild South of Bangalore and its technology and outsourcing centres. The first-person confession of a murderer, "The White Tiger" is as compelling for its subject matter as for the voice of its narrator - amoral, cynical, unrepentant, yet deeply endearing.
Brethren
From the burning plains of Syria to the filthy backstreets of Paris and London, Brethren is the story of Will Campbell, coming of age in a time of conspiracy, passion, politics and war. Will has been brought up from boyhood in the ways of the all-powerful Order of the Knights Templar. With a tragedy in his past that looms over his future, he faces a long, hard apprenticeship to the foul-tempered scholar Everard, before he can have any chance of becoming a Knight. As he struggles to survive in the harsh discipline of the Temple, Will must try to make sense of many things: his own past, the dangerous mystery that surrounds Everard, and his confused feelings for Elwen, the strong-willed young woman whose path seems always to cross his own. Meanwhile, a new star is rising in the East. A ruthless fighter and brilliant tactician, the former slave Baybars has become one of the greatest generals and rulers of his time. Haunted by his early life, he is driven by an unquenchable desire to free his people from the European invaders of his homeland. With page-turning suspense and thrilling action, Brethren brilliantly evokes that extraordinary clash of civilizations known in the West as the Crusades. Robyn Young portrays a rich cast of characters, reflecting on each side greed, ambition and religious fanaticism, as well as courage, love and faith.
