Peter Eisenman, der jüngst mit dem Ehrenlöwen der 9. Architektur-Biennale Venedig 2004 für sein Lebenswerk ausgezeichnet wurde, kombiniert Polemik, Praxis und Theorie in einer Weise, die ihn zu einem der provokantesten Architekten der Gegenwart macht. Er realisiert international beachtete Bauten, wie etwa das Wexner Center for the Visual Arts in Columbus, Ohio. Derzeit in Bau befinden sich das vieldiskutierte Holocaust-Mahnmal in Berlin, das im Mai 2005 der Öffentlichkeit übergeben wird, und das rund 750 000 qm umfassende monumentale Projekt »Ciudad de la Cultura de Galicia« in Santiago de Compostela. Die Publikation spannt einen Bogen über sämtliche Bereiche des nahezu vierzigjährigen Eisenman'schen Schaffens. Neben Peter Eisenmans eigenem Textbeitrag wird die Werkschau durch eine vielschichtige theoretische Auseinandersetzung seitens renommierter Autoren ergänzt. Das Buch ermöglicht damit ein vertieftes Verständnis des komplexen Werkes von Peter Eisenman, der wie kein anderer den Diskurs über zeitgenössische Architektur geprägt hat.

A good retelling of the highlights from the Scarlet Letter
A good retelling of the highlights from the Scarlet Letter. The art provides a good visual for a kid to reflect on after having read the story. The art for Wilson is very telling as well; he looks like the lout I always saw him as.

Lovely illustration.
I love the Scarlet Letter manga. It's very beautifully illustrated, and the characters are interesting. I highly recommend this book for those want a visual medium of the classic novel.

Not new
Format: Hardcover
There was no indication the book was used and I had to spend $37 for it, which seems outrageous.

A mom's review: They read my mind
Format: Hardcover
I was putting together broad categories for how to instruct my family of boys on aspects of the civil war. Jonathan Fetter-Vorm and Ari Kelman read my mind. From captive blacks to reconstruction and the rise of the Klan terrorists, this book does it all. I don't need to instruct - this book paints vivid pictures for my kids to absorb, relate to, and build on according to their areas of interest. My other resources come into play, but this book is the Civil War overview I had been trying to create myself. Includes disease (malaria, gangrene) and Andersonville prison, suspension of habeus corpus and desertions, Mathew Brady's photographs, hunger on the homefront, desertions, the assassination of Lincoln, more. Marvellous.
I can't say enough about the quality of the graphics and narration in the book. This is graphic history as it should be done.
Bravo to the authors and publishers from not shying away from the cold truths. Lincoln's presidency was ambiguous on Constitutional questions. James K. Polk was a racist SOB, like most democrats. The KKK was/is the terror arm of the democrats.
Great book for Junior High and up. I can't recommend it strongly enough. You probably need one for every child in your family, because they will not want to share. More books like this, please.
