He arrives in New Orleans as a serial killer stalks the streets, a killer who carefully selects his victims for the humanity that is missing in himself. Deucalion's path will lead him to cool, tough police detective Carson O'Connor and her devoted partner, Michael Maddison, who are tracking the slayer but will soon discover signs of something far more terrifying: an entire raceof killers who are much more-and less-than human and, deadliest of all, their deranged, near-immortal maker: Victor Helios-once known as Frankenstein.

Описание: From the celebrated imagination of Dean Koontz comes a powerful reworking of one of the classic stories of all time. If you think you know the legend, you know only half the truth. Now the mesmerizing saga concludes. . . . As a devastating hurricane approaches, as the benighted creations of Victor Helios begin to spin out of control, as New Orleans descends into chaos and the future of humanity hangs in the balance, the only hope rests with Victor's first, failed attempt to build the perfect human. Deucalion's centuries-old history began as the original manifestation of a soulless vision-and it is fated to end in the ultimate confrontation between a damned creature and his mad creator. But first they must face a monstrosity not even Victor's malignant mind could have conceived-an indestructible entity that steps out of humankind's collective nightmare with powers, and a purpose, beyond imagining.

Автор: Wee H. Koon Название: The Other Factory: Architecture of the Urban-Industrial Complex ISBN: 1948765268 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781948765268 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 36740.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: A historical and architectural study of the relationship between industrial formations and the city. The highly exploitative environment of the factory that once provided the organizational logic of the city has evolved into an urban-industrial complex designed for exceptional innovation, profit and control. The industrialization of China in the 20th century is unique, and it carries the seeds of the greatest urbanization project facing humanity today. This analysis asserts that the increasingly concealed factory, and its gritty labor conditions and production processes must not be expelled from our cities. They must be made more visible in our consumerist environments to act as checks and balances for the greater good of society and the environment.

"My journey is just beginning, continuing, with no ending".
In Chinese artwork, flowers, fruits, and trees represent various aspects of life and if you know the symbolic meaning of a plant, it will enable you to understand the hidden message. Apricots represent female elegance; the large seed is ovoid shaped like the eyes of an Oriental beauty.
At times, when Katherine begins to reflect on her past, her thoughts flow into the present. Death and dying seemed to have a devastating impact on her life. There are plenty of references to sex which she didn't mind sharing, and she learned what to do at the onset of puberty.
Through a better understanding of our families, we acquire an appreciation for their struggles, jealousies, and successes, and we are personally strengthened by their journey.
"The journey is real, more so when you can relate to someone else's journey." Laura Montgomery Yates

Автор: Koon Wee Название: The Social Imperative: Architecture and the City in China ISBN: 0989331792 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780989331791 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 32140.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book contains multiple short critiques, reflections and manifestos, affording each contributing architect and intellectual the time and space to imagine new social paradigms in China. Emerging from a tumultuous history of high culture and complex territorial conditions, there is nothing straightforward about the social development of China. The complexity of the social practices developed by architects and shapers of the built environment can be explained in part by the last three decades of an intensified adoption of the market economy by the Communist Party of China, after an equally short three decades of closed-door communist control. There is no political meltdown like the democratization of the former Communist Bloc, but there is a constant managing of discontent and resistance across China. At the apex of the many creative and intellectual forces in China, architects harbor and give form to many tactics of resistance. Unfortunately, architects are also the instruments and minds complicit with profit-mongering developers and governments, pursuing unchecked urbanization, degradation of the environment, exploitation of the marginalized, and the creation of a very inequitable China. This book begins with an introduction that defines the forms and tendencies of China's society as it stands today, and it positions the work of a small number of architects and intellectuals who are at the forefront of reforming, rethinking and even revolutionizing the Chinese society. Beneath the veneer of a very successful China that the world readily acknowledges, a quiet revolution is taking place within the realms of architecture and the city. The social, architectural and urban theories documented in this book are organized around the established canons of social actions - from mobilizing, laboring, resisting and mediating, to networking, controlling, rationalizing and aestheticizing. This book aims to put the social agenda squarely back in the rapid development of the built environment in China. This publication is the culmination of a three-year study of social issues in the architecture and cities of China. It involved visits to sites undergoing massive change, discussions and debates among architects and critics, reflections by practitioners about their own work, and activists lobbying for social change. Supported by the non-profit AA Asia, the edition of the contents relied heavily on original input and exchanges between architects and theorists committed to China, from Asia and beyond. Since the 1990s, AA Asia remains one of a few unique think tanks committed to the study of architecture and cities in Asia. As an advocacy with strong academic roots, it seeks to establish the differences across various postcolonial and Asian contexts, and recalibrate the role of architecture in a technocratic era dominated by the global economy.
