BIG is maybe the first Danish architectural office to be truly glocal in the sense of both anchored in Copenhagen and clearly rooted in a particular cultural and political context and at the same time being the most globally acting architectural office in Denmark. They may be regarded as one of the first real successful exponents for a new post-national identity operating within a new set of blurred cultural boundaries. Projects include The Danish Expo Pavillion, Helsingor Psychiatric Hospital, Sjakket Youth Centre, The Faroe Islands Educational Centre, Arlanda Airport Hotel, Shenzhen International Energy Mansion. Includes an essay by Geoff Manaugh and an interview with Bjarke Ingels by Jeffrey Inaba. Introduction by Boris Broman Jensen
Product Description
Jerry Lewis is a man who almost overnight went from obscurity to colossal fame, from affable teenage schnook to egomanical bully, from America's funniest face to an almost unwatchable once-was, from a beloved philanthropist to the figure of scorn who inspired an MDA protest group. This is a funny, dark, and very American story. Incudes 32 pages of photos. National ads/media.

"Americans had never seen a grown man behave this way before," notes Shawn Levy. From Lewis' upbringing as the son of a struggling show biz dad, to his heyday as one half of the Lewis and Martin team that was the hottest act in the business, to his career as the host of charity telethons, Levy presents Lewis in all his comic glory and horror. There's his inspired work with Dean Martin at Atlantic City's 500 Club in 1946; the "Jewish Bataan death march" promotional tour for the movie "The Nutty Professor"; and, later, Lewis, star of movies for kids, who mistreated his family.

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Ingels," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Ingels in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Ingels when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Ingels, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain.
Legal English Communication Skills is intended for Dutch law students and legal professionals aspiring to upgrade their mastery of general English as well as to extend it to the legal field. Combining brief theoretical discussion with largely process-driven practice materials, the book aims to foster (autonomous) acquisition of advanced language learning skills. Learners are encouraged to apply these to improve their effectiveness in writing and in exploring new vocabulary. Frequent reference is made to relevant Internet sources to take learning beyond the confines of the book. Through a variety of cloze and open-ended writing tasks the book helps the learner to come to terms with the requirements of professional writing. Particular attention is paid to summary, email, report and letter writing. Vocabulary is presented in authentic contexts drawn from various sources ranging from formal legal literature to informal Internet documents. The topics explored relate inter alia to the fields of state organs, the court system, contract, employment, intellectual property and human rights.
