technologies to more effectively reclaim nitrogen and phosphorous.
Additionally, readers have immediate access to web modules, which

When Senator Edward Kennedy declared, 'Iraq is George Bush's
Vietnam', everyone understood. The Vietnam War has become the
touchstone for U.S. military misadventures - a war lost on the home
front although never truly lost on the battlefront. During the
pivotal decade of 1962 to 1972, U.S. involvement rose from a few
hundred advisers to a fighting force of more than one million. This
same period saw the greatest schism in American society since the
Civil War, a generational divide pitting mothers and fathers
against sons and daughters who protested the country's ever-growing
military involvement in Vietnam. Meanwhile, well-intentioned
decisions in Washington became operational orders with tragic
outcomes in the rice paddies, jungles, and villages of Southeast
Asia. Through beautifully rendered artwork, "The Vietnam War: A
Graphic History" depicts the course of the war from its initial
expansion in the early 1960s through the evacuation of Saigon in
1975, and what transpired at home, from the antiwar movement and
the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. to
the Watergate break-in and the resignation of a president.

Famed for his motto "less is more," Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
(1886-1969) was one of the founding fathers of modern architecture
and a hotly-debated tastemaker of twentieth-century aesthetics and
urban experience. Mies van der Rohe's philosophy was one of
underlying truth in pure forms and proportions. With the help of
contemporary technological and material developments, he sought a
stripped-down purity to architecture, showcased by the likes of the
Seagram Building and Farnsworth House. Some spoke out against this
stark approach as the precursor to bland, generic cityscapes.
Others cite Mies van der Rohe as the ultimate master of an
abidingly elegant essence. This book presents more than 20 of Mies
van der Rohe's projects from the period 1906-1967 to introduce his
groundbreaking practise and influence in both America and Europe.

I have no time for lies and fantasy, and neither should you. Enjoy
or die.--John Lydon
Punk has been romanticized and embalmed in various media. It has
been portrayed as an English class revolt and a reckless diversion
that became a marketing dream. But there is no disputing its
starting point. Every story of punk starts with its idols, the Sex
Pistols, and its sneering hero was Johnny Rotten.
In Rotten, Lydon looks back at himself, the Sex Pistols, and the no
future disaffection of the time. Much more than just a music book,
Rotten is an oral history of punk: angry, witty, honest, poignant,
and crackling with energy.
