  • - Introduction and Perspectives on the Tracks of Christopher Alexander
    av Helmut Leitner
    193,-

    This book "Pattern Theory" summarizes the work of an important contemporary thinker, the architect and systems theorist Christopher Alexander, an emeritus professor at the University of Berkeley, California. In 1979 one of his books, "A Pattern Language", an 1100-page-essay on architecture and human life, became a non-fiction best seller that attracted half a million readers and continues to inspire people from many disciplines. The still broader four-volume essay "The Nature of Order" was published 2002-2004 as magnum opus. The life work of Alexander is outstanding. He develops a general theory of living systems, a systems theory based on the concepts center, wholeness and transformation by using design patterns and pattern languages as parts of the method. There is a whole new cosmos of thinking with astonishing bandwidth: Alexander suggests a new scientific paradigm that stands in opposition to the traditional causal mechanistic paradigm of natural science - and he offers a new knowledge format as a way to enable people and support their participation in design processes.Alexander's theories have already proven useful in education, organizational development, permaculture, and in software the design patterns have even become mainstream. Many disciplines are about to follow in this development. Pattern theory allows us to change our thinking, to rethink our world and to move towards a fairer society. This leads to more participation and higher sustainability. Alexander's concepts form a mental toolbox for societal change and innovation.

    Alexandre Dumas est un écrivain français né le 24 juillet 1802 à Villers-Cotterêts et mort le 5 décembre 1870 à Puys, près de Dieppe. Il est le fils de Thomas Alexandre Dumas dit le général Dumas, et le père des écrivains Henry Bauër et Alexandre Dumas dit Dumas fils, auteur de La Dame aux camélias. La paternité de certaines de ses oeuvres lui est contestée. Dumas fut ainsi soupçonné par plusieurs critiques de son époque d'avoir eu recours à des nègres littéraires, notamment Auguste Maquet. Toutefois les recherches contemporaines ont montré que Dumas avait mis en place une coopération avec ce dernier: Dumas s'occupait de choisir le thème général et modifiait les ébauches de Maquet pour les rendre plus dynamiques. On ne peut donc lui nier la paternité de son oeuvre, même s'il a été aidé

    This memoir takes the reader on a roller coaster ride like no other, through misuse of power, success, failure, joy, sorrow and unrelenting pain. It is painful and shocking, outrageous, and unbelievable. This is a true story that will leave you waiting breathless to read all of this woman's solo journey, the Journey of a Soul.We begin with Nadine attending her father's funeral with her bodyguard.Nadine has achieved her goal of becoming a self-made millionairess by the age of thirty years old. She is president of The Idle Id. Beginning with a borrowed $250.00, she has built it into a global enterprise.Her largest customer is a giant conglomerate, G.D. Nichols department stores. She secures a major contract from Nichols. A powerful vice-president of Nichols, with connections to the mafia in Chicago, rapes her after a business dinner. He stalks and pursues her. She tries to avoid him by becoming Tour Photographer with a major rock group. In an intimate relationship with the road manager, she becomes addicted to cocaine.Nadine returns to discover her plant manager and his wife, her accountant, have skipped town, leaving her iron-on business in shambles including an accounting nightmare with unauthorized deductions using phony chargebacks involving over a hundred thousand dollars owing to her company.Many Nichols executives admit it is all an accounting error and promise she will receive her money immediately. Immediately turns into days, which turn into weeks, and then months.Nadine becomes suspicious and begins taping all telephone calls with anyone from G.D. Nichols. Executives of Nichols admit that the Vice-President, Buck Schwartz is behind the 'accounting error'.Promises are broken, more and more money is falsely deducted from the money owed to her. Desperate, she calls up the balance on a half-million dollar contract.Weird things happen. The chargebacks she had so painstakingly organized to determine the amount ordered are found the next morning all mixed together out-of-order.One morning, the tape machine only records her side of the conversation when she recorded a top executive with Nichols admitting Schwartz was behind the chargebacks. The executive admitted that another top executive with Nichols was up for an appointment to be President of the Federal Reserve, but in the vetting process, the FBI had discovered an accounting problem - and Nadine was the accounting problem!Nadine accuses Nichols in cahoots with government agencies of trying to kill her, inject her with cancer cells. There are several attempted Hijackings. She is beaten, harassed, and beset by strange occurrences.Everyone, including her employees think she is paranoid for no reason. Her ex-husband, Stephen, the lawyer, threatens to commit her.Nadine insists that Nichols is setting her up; doing all this to affect her credibility. Everyone thinks she is crazy and has suffered a nervous breakdown. She begins to doubt her own sanity. Stephen forces her into therapy with a Psychiatrist, who mysteriously dies during a session Nadine did not keep.Money, Deeds, or Sorrow is the story of one woman unknowingly caught up in conspiracy, accounting fraud, and attempted Hijackings, which involve a major retail department store, the Mafia, and the President of the United States.Someone attempts to blow up her Rolls Royce; the brake lines are cut. She is falsely arrested and tortured by the two 'special police sergeants'. Her father is murdered while she is held in jail.Nadine knows something; but doesn't know everything she knows. It is the story of one woman's strength, courage, and the will to survive tragedy and terror against all odds.Her struggles teach us that appearances are deceptive. You cannot always tell the good guys from the bad guys. This story is an indictment against power, greed, and lust; but most of all; it is an affirmation of the human spirit.

    Although structurally and thematically similar to 'At the Crossroads of Axial Divergence' (2003), comprised, as ever, of aphoristic notes, this work represents a quantum leap forward in certain areas which are explored more accurately and rigorously by the author than before, progressing from a consideration of the distinctions between sacred and profane ego to the cultural and political differences between Europe and America, and of how Britain's attraction towards America undermines Europe and creates problems which even France cannot avoid being affected by, much as France differs from Britain in respect of its cultural and political traditions and should be judged, we believe, by criteria closer, in essence, to those obtaining in countries like Ireland, where the influence of the Catholic Church is traditionally more omnipresent. - A Centretruths editorial

    From USA Today bestselling author, Leslie Langtry comes a mystery series of laugh-out-loud proportions... When CIA agent Merry Wrath is "accidentally" outted, she's forced her into early retirement, changes her appearance, and moves where no one will ever find her-Iowa. Instead of black bag drops in Bangkok, she now spends her time leading a young Girl Scout troop. But Merry's new simple life turns not-so-simple when an enemy agent shows up dead at scout camp. Suddenly Merry is forced to deal with her former life in order to preserve her future one. It doesn't help matters that the CIA sends in her former, sexy handler to investigate...or that the hot new neighbor across the street turns out to be the local detective in charge of her case. And when Merry is forced to take on a roommate in the voluptuous form of a turned KGB agent/bimbo, things become trickier than wet work in Waukegan or cookie sales in the spring. Nothing in the CIA or Girl Scouts' training manuals has prepared her for what comes next... What critics are saying about Leslie Langtry's books: "Darkly funny and wildly over the top, this mystery answers the burning question, 'Do assassin skills and Girl Scout merit badges mix..." RT BOOKreviews "Mixing a deadly sense of humor and plenty of sexy sizzle, Leslie Langtry creates a brilliantly original, laughter-rich mix of contemporary romance and suspense."

I get so engrossed in your Chronicles that I cannot put my Kindle down. I have gotten so connected with the characters and the history is superb. I have already purchased the next and really shouldn't start on it now if I plan to sleep tonight! Thanks! Review: Ginny Dye delivers again!!!! What a fabulous book!!! This book carried more suspense than the first book, as it should!! The author is taking on the Civil War in a way I have never read before. The author is covering every aspect of the Civil War. South perspective, slave perspective, North perspective, abolitionist perspective, and some I would never have dreamed of. These books are thought provoking and uplifting. The author reels you in and you feel everything! You can just see the smoke of gunpowder hanging over the battles, you could feel Ike Adams' hatred. I could say so much more, but "Spring Will Come" (book #3) has finished downloading. I must continue with this absolutely phenomenal series! Review: This is the second book in the Bregdan Chronicles and in my opinion, the series just keeps getting better! I'm not usually a fan of a series, but I'm hooked on this one. The individuals from the first book just keep getting more stimulating. Their storyline, as well as their characters, keep evolving. Add to that, the introduction of new individuals and scenarios and you have the recipe for a book that you can't put down. Again, this book comes with a high recommendation from me. All ages will enjoy. It could be read separately from the first because the background is expanded on sufficiently enough that you could pick up the plot, but I do recommend starting with the Storm Clouds Rolling In for maximum enjoyment. Just a warning though, I stayed up till 1 a.m. because I just had to find out how this one ended
