Type: Book This book features text in German. Munich is lucky. A city that is at the top of the popularity scale needs nothing more than attractive building land. There has been a great deal more of this in recent years since industry and commerce have moved off to the periphery, barracks have been closed, the goods station and the airport have been relocated and the exhibition centre has gone to the empty site in Riem that was freed up. This meant that the Theresienhohe became an urban development area as well. Trade-exhibition halls were still being built around the historic parkland, established as an exhibition park around the turn of the century, in the 1980s. In 1997, an architectural competition was looking for ideas for an "inner-city, dense mixture of use for culture, as a central, for housing and commerce". The prize-winning suggestion by Steidle + Partner became the basis for further planning. The convincing feature was the instinctive sureness with which the practice imposed scale and urban character of the surrounded quarters on to the former exhibition-centre site. The development proposal, which could be interpreted in many ways but proposed an easily remembered line, is continued in the architecture, with its sets of buildings staggered against each other. The first buildings to be completed included the KPMG head office, which emerged from a workshop procedure: the ground plan for the complex uses a meander pattern, completed at one corner by a high-rise residential building - which means that the quarter principle of reversible residential and office use is demonstrated within a single block. A central entrance courtyard provides access to the office block, but there is access from the outside elsewhere as well, should the function ever be changed. The building rises to seven storeys, and is pleasingly disturbing because of the lively colours on its facade of glazed ceramic panels. The even staccato of the narrow windows forms a contrast with this. Both together give the architecture the appeal of a mysterious musical instrument - certainly intended for very young, rhythmic music. 59pp., Edition Axel Menges, 2003, 3, New. A Concise Guide to Writing a Thesis or Dissertation provides clear, succinct, and intentional guidelines about organizing and writing a thesis or dissertation. Part I provides an overview for writing a thesis or dissertation. It describes the big picture of planning and formatting a research study, from identifying a topic to focusing on writing quality. Part II describes the framework and substance of a research study. It models the pattern generally found in a formal, five-chapter research study. Each chapter of a thesis or dissertation has a specific purpose, and this book focuses on each in an easy-to-follow structure. Chapter One reviews the headings and contents expected in the introduction of a study. Chapter Two provides advice for writing a literature review. Chapter Three discusses what to include when describing the methodology. These first three chapters form the proposal section of a study. Two additional chapters present results (Chapter Four) and provide discussion and conclusions (Chapter Five). Appendices offer resources for instructors and students, including a rubric for evaluating writing, exercises to strengthen skills in APA format, sample purpose statements, a research planning organizer, and a guide for scholarly writing. The book is designed overall to be a practical guide and resource for students for their thesis or dissertation process.

Facsimile; First Printing. Hardcover. Slipcase has slight wear to the corners at the opening, wear across the head end of the spine, and more wear and a short paper split at the tail end. Faint soil and an ink line on the bottom surface.; Written in 1762, Voltaire's classic Candide: or, Optimism is a satire featuring a young, French gentleman lurching through life, bemoaning his various ill fortunes, yet cheerfully optimistic about himself and living in "the best of all possible worlds." He discusses life and his own foibles, constantly, with his long-suffering companion and tutor Panglos. Witty and clever on the surface, the work is savage in its attacks on society, religion, the political establishment, and the philosophy of optimism. Those entrenched interests attacked Voltaire and Candide's content, earning him denouncement and scorn. This was in keeping with his life of abrading nearly all he encountered, this characteristic causing him to wander between many relationships, benefactors, and countries. This 1975 facsimile edition of Candide reproduces the 1928 edition by Random House, published as the first book from that imprint, and the title page bearing their new device drawn by prolific illustrator Rockwell Kent. One of an unnumbered edition of 1,000: 500 distributed as keepsakes to friends of the publisher, 500 offered for sale. Begins with a Biographical Note about Voltaire's writing of the work, its early publication, and the general condemnation of its content. Contains 2 plates, including the title page, and 108 chapter headings and cuts, all ink drawings in Rockwell Kent's austere manner. Reproduces the original design and composition by Pynson Printers who set it in type designed by Lucian Bernhard. Although unstated, the design appears to be by Bernhard Roman. Bernhard was a frequent collaborator with Pynson, and whose own studio was in the same corridor as Pynson in the New York Times Annex building, NYC. Bernhard was a logical and handy collaborator with Rockwell Kent, as he had established the Contempora Studio with Kent and other artists in 1928, the year of the Random House publication of Candide.
