The luxurious volume En Passant par la Demeure is a vivid photographic tour of the noted French interior designer Jean-Loup Daraux's country home. Located in the south of France, in the Camargue region, the house is a stunning showcase of French country interior design. For Daraux, the words 'en passant' are not unlike a manifesto. He revels in creating relatively simple yet elegant spaces which generate the impression that everything was designed, and rendered in passing, or as he says, 'as if by magic'. The book is divided into five sections; the first four correspond to the seasons of the year. While following a path through the house, and through the seasons, Daraux comments on diverse subjects helping the reader to discover and appreciate all the fascinating aspects of his home. Along the way he reveals a few secrets that helped him design the house in a rich French country style. The fifth section of the book, entitled 'En passant par le chantier', includes intriguing vignettes of some of t

This is a narrative of the life experience of an ordinary person who grew up in the rural areas of Transkei. After learning about and understanding life according to a purely African world view, he suffered a cultural shock when he came into contact with the contradictions of urban life which imposed Western-style obligations on African people. Ndima's school and university experiences brought home the realisation that African values were treated with contempt, as the dominant Western culture was continuing to bolster white supremacy. After matric, Ndima worked as a clerk in Port St John's and became involved in solving a number of labour disputes. While studying law he was subjected to the animosity his lecturers displayed towards black students. After graduation, Ndima worked as a prosecutor at the Mqanduli district court and later became a magistrate in various districts of the Transkei. As presiding officer, he discovered the wealth of diversity in the various cultural groupings in the territory and learnt to understand the feelings of detained, arrested, accused, convicted and imprisoned people and their relatives, and the impact of these events on their home life and on their personalities.The author's personal history and his experience gained as a magistrate form the basis for the insights that directed him in handling the cases over which he presided.

This new DSS CD-ROM is composed of a comprehensive, fully indexed, and cross-linked collection of non-biblical DSS texts, both in Hebrew and English translation, as well as a selection of high-resolution digitized images of Dead Sea Scrolls fragments. In addition, the CD-ROM contains relevant reference material for scholarly work on The Dead Sea Scrolls and related literature.
Anyone using the CD-ROM will be able to access texts, images and reference materials quickly and efficiently. The combination of a powerful text search engine and sophisticated image-manipulating software will enable scholars and students unparalleled research possibilities.

The Crace family were the most important firm of interior decorators working in Britain in the 19th century. They earned this title by the sheer number and importance of their commissions, working for every British monarch from George III to Queen Victoria and on a range of buildings that includes royal palaces, Leeds Town Hall and the Great Exhibition building of 1862. This book examines the history of the Craces, from their humble origins as coach decorators to interior decorators of the Royal Pavilion, Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. The text also analyzes the artistic styles of the period and discusses the conservative nature of the Craces' work.

Asian livingoften a palette of centuries-old building techniquesis becoming more and more a by-product of dense urbanity, with high-rise apartments and large populations living close together in small spaces and Western-accented fast-paced lifestyles. The apartments presented in this dense and colorfully photographed volume represent current trends in design, which tend to draw inspiration from the past while embracing the future. From vestibules to bedrooms, lighting options to decorative accessories, the book offers visits to rounded living rooms, kitchens that have evolved from places of lonely isolation to communal spaces in the home, bedrooms as sanctuaries with breathtaking views of the city below, and such various "openings" as balconies with natural vistas and window seats overlooking the urban landscape.
