Encompassing more than 2 million acres of protected land,
Yellowstone is home to a rich variety of wildlife including species
like the grizzly bear, wolf, bison and wolverine. Readers will
discover the rainbow waters of the Grand Prismatic Spring, the
tallest geyser in the world and discover how life in the park
survives in the depths of winter when there's 20 feet of snow!
Yellowstone also has strong indigenous cultural connections, with
27 tribes celebrating ties to the land, its wildlife and geography
which the park has only recently begun to acknowledge and
celebrate. This stunning illustrated guide is packed with
incredible facts about Yellowstone's wildlife, people, geography
and history.
This book is dedicated to legendary art collector Franz Hauer. The
son of a mailman from Lower Austria, he became one of the key
figures of his time. Franz Hauer started out penniless, but became
an exemplary self-made man. After becoming wealthy by running the
legendary Griechenbeisl restaurant in Vienna, he began acquiring
art and built an art collection with important groups of works by
Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka. Hauer passed away in 1914, and in
the years after his death, almost the entire collection was sold.
Today, its treasures are held by numerous important museums and
private collections in Europe and the US. This book aims to portray
the fascinating personality of Franz Hauer as the first self-made
man among the Art Collectors in a new light - and to reconstruct
his legendary art collection.
EUROPAN is an initiative supported by nine European countries,
which stages a bi-annual competition for young architects,
landscape and urban designers. Participants are invited to submit
innovative and experimental models of urban development. The topic
of the 2021 edition of the EUROPAN competition was Living Cities.
2,148 participants from all of Europe, gathered in teams, submitted
677 proposals for 40 cities. This book features the six winning
proposals for the Austrian cities of Graz, Klagenfurt and Linz,
presented in detail through photos, plans, and visualisations, as
well as concise texts. Their focus is on architectural and urban
design interventions and processes. They offer innovative concepts
for the use of public space, holistic approaches to resource-saving
construction, as well as cross-functional models for the use of
space. The volume is a treasure trove of trend-setting ideas on the
future of our cities and the development of a new urban culture.
