Описание: An evocative and stunning photographic tribute to America's railroad stations.

For much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the railroad station or depot was the communal hub of every American town that could boast of train service. There, citizens gathered before they sent loved ones off to college, marriage, or war-and where they greeted them on their return.

Most of these buildings were architectural gems, and while many are still in service, certain others now house museums, banks, restaurants, and more. In fact, in cities like Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, renovated stations are destinations unto themselves even for those not boarding the train. And in other places, whole sections of towns have been remade around these structures, restoring their vitality in novel and interesting ways long after the last train has left the station.

In America's Great Railroad Stations, award-winning photographer Roger Straus III, and two lifelong railroad buffs, Ed Breslin and Hugh Van Dusen, join forces to tell the astonishing story of these enduring structures and the important role they still play in the country's landscape.

Journeying from the Pennsylvania Railroad to the Union Pacific to Michigan Central and more, readers will be dazzled by the Beaux Arts monuments of New York and the adobe buildings of the Southwest. Filled with both new and archival photographs and drawings, this volume is a glorious salute to the institution that transformed our nation.

Описание: Ever since the rise of science and the scientific method in the seventeenth century, we have rejected mythology as the product of superstitious and primitive minds. Only now are we coming to a fuller appreciation of the nature and role of myth in human history. In these five lectures originally prepared for Canadian radio, Claude Levi-Strauss offers, in brief summations, the insights of a lifetime spent interpreting myths and trying to discover their significance for human understanding.
The lectures begin with a discussion of the historical split between mythology and science and the evidence that mythic levels of understanding are being reintegrated in our approach to knowledge. In an extension of this theme, Professor Levi-Strauss analyzes what we have called "primitive thinking" and discusses some universal features of human mythology. The final two lectures outline the functional relationship between mythology and history and the structural relationship between mythology and music.

The New York Times bestselling tour of the cosmos from three of today's leading astrophysicists

Welcome to the Universe is a personal guided tour of the cosmos by three of today's leading astrophysicists. Inspired by the enormously popular introductory astronomy course that Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael A. Strauss, and J. Richard Gott taught together at Princeton, this book covers it all--from planets, stars, and galaxies to black holes, wormholes, and time travel.

Describing the latest discoveries in astrophysics, the informative and entertaining narrative propels you from our home solar system to the outermost frontiers of space. How do stars live and die? Why did Pluto lose its planetary status? What are the prospects of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe? How did the universe begin? Why is it expanding and why is its expansion accelerating? Is our universe alone or part of an infinite multiverse? Answering these and many other questions, the authors open your eyes to the wonders of the cosmos, sharing their knowledge of how the universe works.

Breathtaking in scope and stunningly illustrated throughout, Welcome to the Universe is for those who hunger for insights into our evolving universe that only world-class astrophysicists can provide.

Описание: The foremost anthropologist of the twentieth century uses compelling examples from history and contemporary life to challenge the criteria by which we judge others. Claude Levi-Strauss measures the short distance between "complex" and "primitive" societies and finds a shared madness in the ways we enact myth, ritual, and custom.

Описание: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Wohnen, Stadtsoziologie, Note: 1,3, Otto-Friedrich-Universit t Bamberg, Veranstaltung: Technische Infrastruktur und r umliche Planung, 11 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Armut trifft auf Raum - so l sst sich in aller K rze die Handlungsgrundlage des Programms "Stadtteile mit besonderem Entwicklungsbedarf - die soziale Stadt" beschreiben. Zum einen gibt es das gesellschaftliche Ph nomen, dass die einen Menschen rmer sind als andere zum anderen kumuliert sich diese Erscheinung in den St dten an bestimmten Brennpunkten und verst rkt sich. Armut wertet Stadtteile ab und zwar nicht nur einfach, sondern in einer Abw rtsspirale "Das politische Versprechen, nie wieder mit dem gesellschaftlichen Problem 'Armut' konfrontiert zu sein, konnte nicht eingel st werden." (Alisch 1998a S. 7) In dieser Arbeit soll nicht ber die politischen, gesellschaftlichen und sozialen Hintergr nde spekuliert werden, die den Boden und Rahmen von solchen Entwicklungen bilden. Hier wird ein Schritt weitergegangen und eine programmatische Reaktion aufgezeigt; das Bund-L nder-Programm "Stadtteile mit besonderem Entwicklungsbedarf - die soziale Stadt." Die Arbeit gliedert sich wie folgt: In einem ersten Schritt wird die Ausgangssituation dargestellt. Dabei wird deutlich, dass das Programm als Paradigmenwechsel gehandelt wird, da es sich nicht alleine auf bauliche Ma nahmen st tzt sondern es sollen "selbstst ndig lebensf hige und lebenswerten Stadtteile" (vgl. Schwarzer 2003 S 121) geschaffen werden sollen. Zudem werden die gesellschaftlichen Hintergr nde beleuchtet Im zweiten Kapitel werden kurz die Vorl ufer des Projektes genannt und der gesellschaftliche Hintergrund kurz skizzier bevor im dritten Kapitel die Stadtteiltypen n her gefasst und die Auswahlkriterien f r die Aufnahme in das Programm "Soziale Stadt" beschrieben werden Mit seinen Zielen, Handlungsfeldern und Ablaufschema wird dass Programm n her da
