E F Schumacher asserts that it is the task of philosophy to provide a map of life and knowledge which exhibits the most important features of life in their proper prominence. The questions: How am I to conduct my life? What is the nature of art and nature? What is the meaning of religion? are restored to daylight on Schumacher's map of life by his maxim 'if in doubt show it prominently'. Science is therefore restored to its home territory and its growing imperialism over the fields is reserved.

Fair condition: a previous owner has covered the book in transparent cellophane, so the covers are not too worn, though there is a little creasing to the spine; pages yellowed; some pencilled annotation throughout, heavy on some pages, with others left free.

An excellent standard reference work on the avant-garde dramatists Alfred Jarry (1873-1907) and Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918).

He also considers the literary and cultural background in which they worked in France at the turn of the twentieth century. Both playwrights devised and wrote works to be performed with theatre masks, body costumes...

Dynamic components and adaptive elements are becoming increasingly important in contemporary architecture, and not just because of their visual effect. If architects and engineers are engaging more and more with the issue of movement – whether in the form of sun-tracking solar cells, lowerable walls, or intelligently programmed elevators – it’s because they are busy exploring responses to three challenges: How can we control and reduce the energy requirement of buildings? How can we expand the range...

This 1987 thriller was a predictable hit with the teen audience it worked overtime to attract. Like most of director Joel Schumacher's films, it's conspicuously designed to push the right marketing and demographic buttons and, granted, there's some pretty cool stuff going on here and there. Take Kiefer Sutherland, for instance. In Stand by Me he played a memorable bully, but here he goes one step further as a memorable bully vampire who leads a tribe of teenage vampires on their nocturnal spree of...

Building on the discoveries of the formative teachers - from the quest and enlightenment of the historical Buddha to the crazy wisdom of the Chinese patriarchs who gave Zen its unique and unsettling flavour - the author points to the essentials of Zen. The old masters realized that nobody can give you the answer - you have to find it for yourself. Like them the author does not try to explain, but coaxes the reader into a direct encounter with the life-changing perspectives of the Zen mind. He challenges...

Acts like a reference manual on steroids for my day-to-day needs. Gave me some good best practices advice, too. Art work is a little strange, but...
