Reader bij Modern Housing Prototypes, Roger Sherwood, 1978 -- [ The design of housing has commanded the attention of the greatest architects of the twentieth century. In this stunning volume, Roger Sherwood presents thirty-two notable examples of multi-family housing from many countries and four continents, selected for their importance as prototypes. Designed by such masters as Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Alvar Aalto, they range from single-house clusters to row-houses, terrace houses, party-wall and large-courtyard housing, to urban high-rise towers and slabs. The thirty-two buildings or housing complexes are illustrated with photographs, site plans, floor plans, elevations, and marvelous axonometric drawings. In each case Mr. Sherwood gives background information on the project, mention, factors the architect had to take into consideration (social, environmental, financial), points out creative solutions to particular problems, and comments on special features of the design. Laymen as well as professionals will find his presentations enlightening. In the Introduction, Mr. Sherwood sets forth the basic principles of organization that apply to housing. He analyzes first the limited number of ways in which individual apartments or living units can be laid out (each type or plan lending itself to variations and permutations) and then the ways in which different units can be vertically and horizontally organized within a single building. Drawings and plans of more than eighty housing complexes in twenty countries accompany his analysis. Mr. Sherwood offers his book in the belief that there is no excuse for shoddy architecture; that no branch of architecture is more important than the design of human habitations; and that much is to be learned from the study of significant buildings of the recent past.]

Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace.

Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history.

Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.

Michael Covel reveals the "underground" network of little-known traders and hedge fund managers who've been using trend following for decades. He introduces its fundamental concepts and techniques, showing why market prices contain all the information investors need, and how to understand price movements well enough to profit from them. Using 100 pages of easy-to-understand charts from top trend followers, Covel proves the strategy works - and shows why only a technical system based on following price trends can win over the long term. Covel presents more than a decade's worth of data: information you'd otherwise pay a fortune to see presented this clearly. He also shows even more backtested trend following results, so you can gain even greater confidence in the method. Along the way, Covel thoroughly debunks misinformation and failed advice from pros who ought to know better. This timely book capitalizes on today's intense volatility and uncertainty to give investors what they're desperately searching for: a strategy that really works.

The first Hispanic and third woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor has become an instant American icon. Now, with a candor and intimacy never undertaken by a sitting Justice, she recounts her life from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, a journey that offers an inspiring testament to her own extraordinary determination and the power of believing in oneself.

Here is the story of a precarious childhood, with an alcoholic father (who would die when she was nine) and a devoted but overburdened mother, and of the refuge a little girl took from the turmoil at home with her passionately spirited paternal grandmother. But it was when she was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes that the precocious Sonia recognized she must ultimately depend on herself.  She would learn to give herself the insulin shots she needed to survive and soon imagined a path to a different life. With only television characters for her professional role models, and little understanding of what was involved, she determined to become a lawyer, a dream that would sustain her on an unlikely course, from valedictorian of her high school class to the highest honors at Princeton, Yale Law School, the New York County District Attorney’s office, private practice, and appointment to the Federal District Court before the age of forty. Along the way we see how she was shaped by her invaluable mentors, a failed marriage, and the modern version of extended family she has created from cherished friends and their children. Through her still-astonished eyes, America’s infinite possibilities are envisioned anew in this warm and honest book, destined to become a classic of self-invention and self-discovery.

'Nooit', schreef de Haagse Post in 1983, 'is een Nederlands politicus dieper gevallen dan Willem Aantjes; een val die alleen zo diep kon zijn omdat ook nooit zo in een politicus was geloofd'.

Op maandag 6 november 1978 kwam met een daverende klap een einde aan de carrière van een man die op dat moment gold als de machtigste en meest integere politicus van Nederland. Volgens een rapport van directeur Loe de Jong van het Rijksinstituut voor Oorlogsdocumentatie (RIOD) zou CDA-fractievoorzitter Aantjes in de oorlog lid zijn geweest van de Waffen-SS en als kampbewaker hebben gewerkt in Drenthe.

In De val van een Bergredenaar wordt aan de hand van tal van nieuwe documenten en gegevens het dramatische levensverhaal van Aantjes verteld. Zijn jeugd in de Alblasserwaard, de oorlogsjaren in het Duitse Güstrow en in kamp Port Natal in Assen en zijn opmars op het Binnenhof, waar hij zich ontpopte van een conservatieve antirevolutionaire backbencher tot een bevlogen 'Bergredenaar'. Uitgebreid wordt stilgestaan bij de cruciale rol die Aantjes speelde ten tijde van het christen-democratische eenwordingsproces en bij de rumoerige kabinetsformaties van 1973 en 1977. En natuurlijk is er ruim aandacht voor de dramatische gebeurtenissen die leidden tot zijn met complottheorieën omgeven val en de jaren in onvrijwillige ballingschap die volgden.
