Описание: `LISTEN. The greatest feeling I ever had in my life - with my clothes on - was when I first heard Diz and Bird back in 1944. I`ve come close to matching the feeling of that night, but I`ve never quite got there. I`m always looking for it, trying to always feel it in and through the music I play . . .`

Quincy Jones: Building for Better Living ISBN: 3791352652 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783791352657 Издательство: Prestel Publishing Limited Рейтинг: Цена: 42240.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: While A. Quincy Jones is most recognised as an architect of glamorous homes owned by Los Angeles' cultural elite, he was equally dedicated to less prosperous clients - middle-class families who were quickly populating the postwar Southern California landscape. As this fascinating book reveals, Jones and his collaborators were truly ahead of their time. Their vision of creating affordable, sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing structures prefigured the advent of several important architectural trends such as innovative and sustainable building designs, maximization of available space, careful detailing, and sensitive site planning. Filled with images from noted photographer Jason Schmidt, as well as with period photographs by Julius Shulman and others, this volume looks at every aspect of Jones' career. Original drawings, models, and furniture designs from the architect's personal archives illustrate a wide variety of projects featuring the hallmarks of Jones' style: soaring interior spaces, the blurring of indoor and outdoor spaces, laminated timber construction, angled walls, and innovate use of concrete, redwood, and glass. Essays explore Jones' quintessentially collaborative nature as he consulted with other noted architects, landscapers, interior designers, developers and city planners to create buildings of lasting beauty and importance.

Описание: "Penetrating, detailed, and very readable. . . . A splendid biography." --Wall Street Journal Few figures in American history have held as many roles in public life as John Quincy Adams. The son of John Adams, he was a brilliant ambassador and secretary of state, a frustrated president, and a dedicated congressman who staunchly opposed slavery. In John Quincy Adams, scholar and journalist James Traub draws on Adams's diaries, letters, and writings to evoke his numerous achievements-and failures-in office. A man of unwavering moral convictions, Adams is the father of foreign policy "realism" and one of the first proponents of the "activist government." But John Quincy Adams is first and foremost the story of a brilliant, flinty, and unyielding man whose life exemplified admirable political courage.

Michelle Perry is living a double life.
She's the bookkeeper on a huge ranch and she's a spy. She made a huge commitment to her anti-GMO beliefs when she took the job, but now she's involved with one of the ranch supervisors - someone she should be watching.
Why quit a management job on the east coast and move to Montana to get paid a fraction of what she was making? It's 2040 and the bio-tech entrepreneur who owns the ranch has bred a small herd of Bison antiquus - extinct for ten thousand years and forerunner of modern plains bison. Colin Elliot, a shadowy activist and organizer of environmental causes, told Shel, as she calls herself, a new project would be coming to the ranch and that it would be about GMO livestock. She jumped at the chance to help him stop it.
Problem: nobody at the ranch has any idea what the project will be.
Over a period of months Shel settles into life on the ranch, all the while snooping, asking questions, and reporting to Colin. She makes friends on the ranch, a close community of honest, hardworking people who care deeply for the land. Shel befriends Matt Parker, construction supervisor for the ranch and they soon begin a passionate love affair. She wants to save the planet, or some small part of it, from ill-conceived science, and she wants a love life.
Judgment call: she thinks she can do both.
Tension mounts as the start date of the new project approaches. Construction at the research center is behind schedule, still nobody knows what the project is about, and Colin browbeats Shel for information that does not exist. When the project animals arrive the ranch community is stunned: they are not livestock at all, they are the very opposite.
In the aftermath of this revelation Shel fears her spying, if revealed, will turn the ranch community against her. Even Matt may abandon her if the truth comes out. Can she take that chance? Will she have a choice?

A cheeky illustrated cultural atlas celebrates the strength and spirit of New York and shows how there's no need to make a comeback when you're already the greatest city on Earth.
Think New Yorkers are speeding out to Connecticut in droves? Think a tough 2020 broke the city? Think again. New York is more than a city--it is a concrete and red-brick canvas for denizens of artists, an endless fountain of inspiration and community for entrepreneurs and activists, and a boisterous melting pot that celebrates diversity of all kinds. And being a New Yorker is not just a geographic indicator, it's an indicator of character, a way of life.
From the storied punk dives of the Lower East Side to the street-cart studded blocks of the Heights, New York City offers grit, resilience, culture, and inclusivity in spades--and its citizens know this. This spectacular book looks beyond the tourist traps of New York to celebrate the essence of the city's five boroughs. Through interviews, essays, and original art, readers will encounter the real New York--a city that is on a first name basis with bodega owners, spends afternoons on the stoop, and has equally impassioned opinions on halal carts, subway lines, and the perfect breakfast sandwich. Featured inside is everything from Q&As with legendary bodega owners to the best quotes of Governor Andrew Cuomo, designer of New York Tough and a national treasure during the fight to contain Covid-19, to photographs, quizzes, games, recipes, and much more, as well as a tribute to the beloved spaces lost during tough times.
This is a perfect read for anyone who dreams of bumping into Spike Lee on the streets of Fort Greene or misses late nights at the Comedy Cellar, a colorful keepsake tribute to the city that never sleeps and to those who know that--despite tragedy, turmoil, and great change--it will always be New York or nowhere.
