Treacherous Transparencies - Thoughts and Observations Triggered by a Visit to Farnsworth House

Jacques Herzog, Pierre de Meuron

Editora: Actar

Sinopse

Treacherous Transparencies analyzes transparency as expressed in architecture and art in an attempt to understand the intentions and objectives that underlie its use by pertinent architects and artists.     The publication looks at a few important works by selected artists and architects who work with transparency as an artistic strategy, which they implement primarily by using glass and mirrors but other media as well.  e architects and artists listed together in this context form an unlikely alliance: Bruno Taut, Ivan Leonidov, Marcel Duchamp, Mies van der Rohe, Dan Graham, and Gerhard Richter. But they do have something in common: their work marks salient way stations in the story of modernism up to the present day.

Priced Out - The Economic and...

Uwe E. Reinhardt

From a giant of health care policy, an engaging and enlightening account of why American health care is so expensive—and why it doesn't have to be. 
Uwe Reinhardt was a towering figure and moral conscience of health care policy in the United States and beyond. Famously bipartisan, he advised presidents and Congress on health reform and originated central features of the Affordable Care Act. In Priced Out, Reinhardt offers an engaging and enlightening account of today's U.S. health care system, explaining why it costs so much more and delivers so much less than the systems of every other advanced country, why this situation is morally indefensible, and how we might improve it. 
The problem, Reinhardt says, is not one of economics but of social ethics. There is no American political consensus on a fundamental question other countries settled long ago: to what extent should we be our brothers' and sisters' keepers when it comes to health care? 
An incisive look at the American health care system, Priced Out dispels the confusion, ignorance, myths, and misinformation that hinder effective reform.

Anti-Burnout Meditation -...

Ralph Engeler, Anima Sound...

This anti-burnout meditation is helpful for all people who feel stressed and "burnt out". It is suitable as a stress prevention as well as an supplementary support meditation during the active burnout phase. Do you currently feel completely exhausted, both physically and emotionally? This guided meditation is perfect for you, when you have the feeling: "I can't take it anymore". It leads you into your inner self to learn how to lead a stress-reduced or stress-free life. You will be gently guided from the place of "outer chaos" to the place of "inner calm". You will learn to understand the negative thoughts and stress patterns and be able to open yourself fully for your healing. We have consciously created the meditation for you in a short and a long version. With the short version you can, whenever possible, quickly free yourself from your feelings of helplessness and the constant psychological pressure. The long version of the Anti-Burnout Meditation allows you to feel even more deeply what your place of inner peace can feel like. You learn to understand that to be really well, you need to be connected with your inner soul. We recommend using headphones during these meditations. In this way, you can absorb the supporting effects of the spoken words on an even deeper level of your subconsciousness. SAFETY NOTE: You should never listen to these meditations while driving a car or operating machinery. The best place is sitting in a comfortable armchair, or otherwise lying down in a comfortable place.
