Book Description

A new perspective on religions and the environment emerges from this collection. The authors, a diverse group of indigenous and non-native scholars and environmental activists, address compelling and urgent questions facing indigenous communities as they struggle with threats to their own sovereignty, increased market and media globalization, and the conservation of endangered bioregions. Drawing attention to the pressures threatening indigenous peoples and ways of life, this volume describes modes of resistance and regeneration by which communities maintain a spiritual balance with larger cosmological forces while creatively accommodating current environmental, social, economic, and political changes.

Book Description

This new volume, which draws on an international selection of entries from a great number of countries, testifies to innovation in the planning and management of events, as well as offering professional designers, event managers and the fair-going public a range of visual delights and exhibited inspirations. To research this work, design journalist and insider Conway Lloyd Morgan visited the most significant trade fairs, examining small and large trade fair stands in Detroit, Bologna, Paris, Amsterdam, Basel, Berlin, Munich, Hanover, Frankfurt, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, Tokyo, among others.

Trade Fair Design Annual 2002/2003.......2003-04-29

The focus of this edition of TRADE FAIR DESIGN ANNUAL 2002/2003 is put on stands at international trade shows and on exhibits up to 15 000sq feet. Among the 27 examples are stands for Mercedes Benz by KauffmannTheilig and by American stars in the fair business like Mauk Design for Sony Computers Play Station or Lorenc+Yoo for Sony Ericsson.
Although many of the extraordinary stands displayed come from German designers the book shows that today good exhibit design is also made in the UK and in the United States.
As with most trade fair design books coming from avedition this book shows respect to the great overall design idea, presented in sumptuous king size pictures, ... an impression that is backed by the total appearance of the book.
The book consists of five chapters, showing fair stands for transportation, life style, b2b, communication and out of the hall. The design ideas are commented in typically English twinkle toed text, which comes from the London Journalist Conway Lloyd Morgan.

Another new book on the design of stands for fairs and trade shows comes from the German interior design publicist Ingrid Wenz-Gahler and - in total contrast to the book by Conway Lloyd Morgan - concentrates on SMALL stands.
In spite of its English title BIG IDEAS FOR SMALL STANDS the publisher abstained from an English translation - very unusual for books by Ingrid Wenz-Gahler - so you will have to order the book via friends in Europe through amazon.de.
Corresponding with its subtitle - Success with Small Stands - this book concentrates on the 90 percent of all stands for fairs and trade shows which are smaller than 250sq feet. The book shows 66 examples of stands from almost all sectors of business, presented with numerous photos, floor plans and their design and marketing concept. - A guidebook for all those marketing people or designers who are responsible for their companies or their clients performance at a trade show. Although the stands are small many of them have been conceived by stars in this business such as Fabio Novembre, Simone Micheli, Stefan Zwicky, Jordan Mozer or Lorenc+Yoo.

Book Description

With absolutely no barriers concerning fantasies in form, colour and space, innovative and impressive concepts are created.

Great Articles.......2005-07-26

Warship is an annually produced compilation of articles on the design, development and service hostory of the world's combat ships. The 2005 issue is one of the most interesting volumes yet.

The first article is on the failure of British armor piercing big gun shells to pierce armor and then to fail to explode. It is surprising to me that such little details seemingly are ignored until a country goes to war, ships have sunk, and people have died. I was reminded of the failure of the American (and German) torpedoes to explode. After all the effort put into submarines, training the crew and sending them off to war, it appears that only one live test of a torpedo had been run and it had failed.

Another article is on the early steam powered torpedo boats built by the Royal Navy in the late 1800's. These definitely do not look like they would be good boats on which to serve. I had seen pictures of them before but the article goes into things like sea keeping, and life on board as well as more technical details on the ships.

The articles in this book are not short, averaging something over a dozen pages. Annual columns reviewing the navies of the world, a gallery of pictures and others take up about a quarter of the book.

As usual, this is a fascinating book. It brings up points of history that aren't seen very often. It's very very well written. Highly recommended to any interested person.
