![]() ![]() Author: Ryan Zoe (EDT), Fisher Alison (CON), Smith Elizabeth A. T. (CON), Whiting Sarah (CON) Publisher: Art Inst of Chicago Bertrand Goldberg (1913-1997) was a visionary Chicago architect whose designs for housing, urban planning, and industrial design made a distinctive mark in the modern era. This handsome publication, the first to focus in-depth on the entirety of Goldberg's life and work, traces his development from his early Bauhaus training to his notable architectural achievements. Featuring previously unpublished material, it also includes Goldberg's plans for unrealized projects as well as his collaborations with other prominent modern architects, such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Buckminster Fuller. Goldberg's interest in the social dimension of architecture was reflected in many of his cutting-edge designs. In 1959, he conceived the plan for his most iconic structure, the sixty-story Marina City residential towers, in the heart of downtown Chicago. He created a number of hospitals that offered a new paradigm for how patients and staff interacted within the space. Goldberg's progressive designs also extended to schools, prefabricated structures, and furniture. € 46,80

![]() ![]() Author: Smith Stefan Halikowski Publisher: Brill Academic Pub This is a micro-study of the Portuguese community (particularly focusing on the mixed-race Creole population neglected in many imperial histories) in the river state of Ayutthaya, Siam, during a period commonly seen as one of pell-mell imperial retreat (1640-1720). Smith (history, Swansea U., Wales) explores the routes of this diaspora to Ayutthaya from displaced communities of the Portuguese Indies; political and economic rivalries with other nationalities and groups and their impacts on the community; issues of linguistic, ethnic, and religious identity; representations of the Portuguese in Thai and Burmese temple murals; the development of the Catholic church in Ayutthaya; and similar topics. He also includes 100 pages worth of primary source documents. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) € 140,30

![]() ![]() Author: Alice Paige-Smith Publisher: OPEN UNIVERSITY PRESS Reflective practice is a vital aspect of working with young children and enables a deeper understanding of their learning and development. There is a long tradition among early childhood practitioners of closely observing children's learning, so as to nurture and stimulate their development. They are also increasingly expected to reflect on their own practice in a variety of ways, in order to enhance their professional development and improve their practice. This book supports early years' practitioners in articulating and understanding their own practice in greater depth, exploring ways in which they can be encouraged to engage in reflecting on their practice. The authors introduce ideas around creativity, inclusion, children's well being, partnership with parents and multidisciplinary team working, which will enable you to develop and explore the role of the early years' practitioner in further detail.

![]() ![]() Author: Jansson Tove, Teal Thomas (TRN), Smith Ali (INT) Publisher: New York Review of Books A New York Review Books Original Deception—the lies we tell ourselves and the lies we tell others—is the subject of this, Tove Jansson's most unnerving and unpredictable novel. Here Jansson takes a darker look at the subjects that animate the best of her work, from her sensitive tale of island life, The Summer Book, to her famous Moomin stories: solitude and community, art and life, love and hate. Snow has been falling on the village all winter long. It covers windows and piles up in front of doors. The sun rises late and sets early, and even during the day there is little to do but trade tales. This year everybody's talking about Katri Kling and Anna Aemelin. Katri is a yellow-eyed outcast who lives with her simpleminded brother and a dog she refuses to name. She has no use for the white lies that smooth social intercourse, and she can see straight to the core of any problem. Anna, an elderly children's book illustrator, appears to be Katri's opposite: a respected member of the village, if an aloof one. Anna lives in a large empty house, venturing out in the spring to paint exquisitely detailed forest scenes. But Anna has something Katri wants, and to get it Katri will take control of Anna's life and livelihood. By the time spring arrives, the two women are caught in a conflict of ideals that threatens to strip them of their most cherished illusions. € 14,30

The main event is 'Hex and the City' by writer Stefan Petrucha and artist Mr. Exes. When Japek Holsworth III takes over his father's old business, he finds he's the boss of three sexy, stuck-up, materialistic, shallow, female employees. When the ladies find out that Japek has a 'thing' for Wiccan women, they proceed to pose as practitioners of the black arts in order to strip Japek of his valuable gems and assets. These wicked witches perform their 'fake' ceremony to summon the Great Horned God, and it actually works -- until the dastardly deity gives them each what they want, but far from the way they want it. € 12,00
