Since streets become increasingly crowded, living on the top of a building promises privacy and distance. Rooftops have become the symbol of a new lifestyle - an extension and exclusive enjoyment of an area traditionally unused: the architectural crown of a building has been transformed into a new area for work or living. Architects, designers and town planners have seen in this final section of a building their last chance to let their fantasies run free and to dramatically shape the cities` skylines with extensions, attics and unique tops. This volume delivers a very close insight in the divers possibilities of the roof design of residential, corporative and other buildings. About 200 projects present the different types of roofs:...

Jack is five. He lives with his Ma. They live in a single, locked room. They don`t have the key. Jack and Ma are prisoners. `Room is a book to read in one sitting. When it`s over you look up: the world looks the same but you are somehow different and that feeling lingers for days` - Audrey Niffenegger. `One of the most profoundly affecting books I`ve read in a long time` - John Boyne. `Such incredible imagination, and dazzling use of Room is unlike anything I`ve ever read before` - Anita Shreve. `Room is that rarest of entities, an entirely original work of art. I mean it as the highest possible praise when I tell you that I can`t compare it to any other book. Suffice to say that it`s potent, darkly beautiful, and revelatory` - Michael...

In A Room of One`s Own, Virginia Woolf imagines that Shakespeare had a sister: a sister equal to Shakespeare in talent, equal in genius, but whose legacy is radically different. This imaginary woman never writes a word and dies by her own hand, her genius unexpressed. But if only she had found the means to create, urges Woolf, she would have reached the same heights as her immortal sibling. In this classic essay, Virginia Woolf takes on the establishment, using her gift of language to dissect the world around her and give a voice to those who have none. Her message is simple: A woman must have a fixed income and a room of her own in order to have the freedom to create.

A Room of One`s Own (1929) has become a classic feminist essay and perhaps Virginia Woolf`s best known work; The Voyage Out (1915) is highly significant as her first novel. Both focus on the place of women within the power structures of modern society. The essay lays bare the woman artist`s struggle for a voice, since throughout history she has been denied the social and economic independence assumed by men. Woolf`s prescription is clear: if a woman is to find creative expression equal to a man`s, she must have an independent income, and a room of her own. This is both an acute analysis and a spirited rallying cry; it remains surprisingly resonant and relevant in the 21st century. The novel explores these issues more personally, through...

You love the boy body and soul, plainly, directly, as he loves you .... Lucy has her rigid, middle-class life mapped out for her until she visits Florence with her uptight cousin Charlotte, and finds her neatly ordered existence thrown off balance. Her eyes are opened by the unconventional characters she meets at the Pension Bertolini: flamboyant romantic novelist Eleanor Lavish, the Cockney Signora, curious Mr Emerson and, most of all, his passionate son George. Lucy finds herself torn between the intensity of life in Italy and the repressed morals of Edwardian England, personified in her terminally dull fiance Cecil Vyse. Will she ever learn to follow her own heart? "A Room with a View" is a sunny, brilliantly witty comedy of manners.

To five-year-old-Jack, Room is the world. It`s where he was born, it`s where he and his Ma eat and sleep and play and learn. At night, his Ma shuts him safely in the wardrobe, where he is meant to be asleep when Old Nick visits. Room is home to Jack, but to Ma it`s the prison where she has been held for seven years. Through her fierce love for her son, she has created a life for him in this eleven-by-eleven-foot space. But with Jack`s curiosity building alongside her own desperation, she knows that Room cannot contain either much longer. Room is a tale at once shocking, riveting, exhilarating - a story of unconquerable love in harrowing circumstances, and of the diamond-hard bond between a mother and her child.
