This three volume set chronicles the 1809 war between Napoleonic France and Habsburg Austria.

The highly-anticipated Fourth Edition of this bestselling text still succeeds in providing a step-by-step guide to implementing particular methodologies, while simultaneously encouraging a strong awareness of philosophical assumptions. Using a practical approach, but with explicit attention to the role of theory in management research, the new edition of Research Methods for Managers is a stimulating guide for students in management, organization and organization research.

Todd Haynes's 2002 film Far From Heaven has been hailed as a homage to 1950s Hollywood melodrama, although anyone tempted to take the film at face value should be warned that it aims to subvert as much as celebrate that genre.

"Alien Nation" explores the ways the metaphor of the alien (little green man) has been used to process the reality of the alien (illegal or otherwise). If the cinema of the 1950s and 60s sublimated the fear of atomic catastrophe or communist attack into interplanetary drama, the more recent work collected here uses elements of that retro sci-fi world as powerful metaphors for our deep-seated fears of the Other, the foreigner--the increasingly frequently decried "invasion" of immigrants, or just the presence of people of different skin colors and beliefs. Among the 12 international contemporary artists showcased are Laylah Ali, Kori Newkirk and Yinka Shonibare. They and their compatriots explore themes of otherness and difference in film, sculpture, painting, photography and installation. Their interplanetary visitors--which might be built from Christmas ornaments, like Marepe's untitled creature, or sewn from African cloth, like Shonibare's "Dysfunctional Family"--are illustrated alongside film stills and posters from the 1950s and 60s, a glossary of alien names from those films, several thoughtful essays and interviews with the participating artists. A timely, ambitious and thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between fiction, race and contemporary art.

Antoni Gaudí i Cornet gehört zu den innovativsten Architekten seiner Zeit. Zunächst vom modernisme – der spanischen Variante des Jugendstils – beeinflusst, entwickelte er bald seine eigene Bauweise, die stilistisch nur schwer einzuordnen ist. Gaudí war fasziniert von der städtischen Umgebung und den Möglichkeiten, die diese dem Architekten bot. Seine Arbeiten sind ohne die Stadt Barcelona nicht denkbar, und seine Architektursprache hat die Metropole in vielfacher Hinsicht geprägt. Dieses Buch präsentiert das Œuvre Antoni Gaudís in chronologischer Abfolge. Zu ihm gehören frühe Bauwerke wie die Casa Vicens und die Pavillons der Finca Güell, Arbeiten der mittleren Schaffensperiode wie der Park Güell und die Torre Bellesguard sowie die Sagrada Família, sein architektonisches Meisterwerk, das bis zum heutigen Tag unvollendet geblieben ist.
