Landscape in Concrete
$6.98
One of the most idiosyncratic writers of the twentieth century.It is this Book that Confirms Lind's Stature as an Author of International Importance.Landscape in Concrete is essentially a terrifying attempt to test possible clues which will guide man through the contemporary maze.Jakov was a bad boy. . . . He was a coyote, a trickster. He enjoyed hash and LSD. A wicked smile played around his mouth, while witty aphorisms and deep insights tripped off his lips. He emanated inner strength--and an electric intelligence that we all wanted to emulate. -- Anthony RudolfSergeant Gauthier Bachmann is the perfect Nazi soldier. But after a horrifying defeat at Voroshenko, where most of his Eighth Hessian Infantry Regiment was slaughtered in a single instant, Bachmann was declared mentally unfit to serve. Incapable of accepting this judgment, and of returning to his girlfriend and a quiet life as a gold- and silversmith, Bachmann wanders the war-ravaged countryside, trying to find a way to rejoin his regiment, or any regiment, and return to the front. While trying to find his regiment and come to terms with the horrors he has seen and committed, the increasingly unstable Bachmann is manipulated by a series of figures from the underbelly of war's underbelly--deserters and collaborators, corrupt officers and sexual predators--who induce him to carry out their venal missions, which they've justified against the background of institutionalized murder going on all around them. Containing dark echoes of Jaroslav Hasek's The Good Soldier Svejk, Jakov Lind's Landscape in Concrete is an astonishing and highly original imagining of (the) dimensions of evil including sadistic cruelty, of the condition of being a victim and the madness abroad which constitutes the virtual victory of Hitler if we fail to translate survival into freedom (Anthony Rudolf). When you lose your way in the Ardennes, you're lost. What use are plans and prayers. A landscape without faces is like air nobod@ë…¸Qìÿ¾Úx

Chicago's Urban Nature: A Guide to Architecture and Landscape in Chicago
$12.17
Chicago— whose motto is “ City in a Garden” — is currently at the forefront of a global movement to end the division between town and country. In Chicago’ s Urban Nature, Sally A. Kitt Chappell provides a beautifully illustrated guide to the city’ s stunning blend of nature and architecture. At the heart of this new urban concept is the idea of connection, bringing buildings and landscapes, culture and nature, commerce and leisure into an energetic harmony. With Chicago’ s Urban Nature in hand, you’ ll see those connections woven through the fabric of the city. Chappell provides new insights into such historic Chicago sites as Jens Jensen’ s Garfield Park Conservatory, Frederick Law Olmsted’ s Jackson Park, and Alfred Caldwell’ s Lily Pond, then takes us to the innovative contemporary green spaces they influenced, from City Hall’ s rooftop garden to the North Lawndale Green Youth Farm to Chicago’ s heralded new Millennium Park. These beautiful green spaces, with their unprecedented melding of art, architecture, and ecology, have become far more than places of escape for Chicagoans— they’ re now fully integrated into the urban scene, an essential part of the cultural life of the modern city. Packed with maps and recommended tours, and bursting with splendid photos, this is an essential guidebook for day-trippers, lifelong Chicago residents, and professionals in landscape architecture, urbanism, and design.
