Melding the supernatural and the historical, a thrilling novel of vampires set in the Napoleonic wars. In June 1812, Napoleon`s massive grande arm?e began its invasion of Russia, and the imperial Russian army, massively outnumbered and out maneuvered, was forced to retreat.

"Twenty Years After", the sequel to "The Three Musketeers", is a supreme creation of suspense and heroic adventure. Two decades have passed since the musketeers triumphed over Cardinal Richelieu and Milady. Time has weakened their resolve, and dispersed their loyalties. But treasons and strategems still cry out for justice: civil war endangers the throne of France, while in England Cromwell threatens to send Charles I to the scaffold. Dumas brings his immortal quartet out of retirement to cross swords with time, the malevolence of men, and the forces of history. But their greatest test is a titanic struggle with the son of Milady, who wears the face of Evil.

The critically acclaimed first novel from Jonathan Franzen, author of the prize winning and internationally bestselling, The Corrections. St. Louis, Missouri, is a quietly dying river city until it hires a new police chief: a charismatic young woman from Bombay, India, named S. Jammu. No sooner has Jammu been installed, though, than the city`s leading citizens become embroiled in an all-pervasive political conspiracy. A classic of contemporary fiction, `The Twenty-Seventh City` shows us an ordinary metropolis turned inside out, and the American Dream unraveling into terror and dark comedy.
The Museum of Modern Art in Gunma, surrounded by parkland, is the most complete realization by Isozaki of a conceptual approach to museum design. The Clore Gallery, London, was built to house the Tate Gallery’s superb collection of paintings by J M W Turner, while the Tate in Liverpool was created out of a magnificent 1845 dockside warehouse; both are examined here within the context of Stirling & Wilford’s ?uvre at the time of construction. James Ingo Freed’s United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is one of the late twentieth century’s most profound architectural statements, managing subtly and symbolically to disengage itself from the city where is stands. By considering these museums together, the reader can examine the...

Fallingwater, the Villa Mairea and the Eames House – by Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto and Charles and Ray Eames respectively – represent pinnacles of modern residential design. Fallingwater is one of Wright’s most inventive houses, showing him to be an architect of immense creativity and daring. Aalto drew on a deep understanding of vernacular building, classicism and modernism, and on a love of natural materials, to create the humane, rich and lyrical Villa Mairea. Charles and Ray Eames’ own house was assembled entirely from standardized industrial components composed with a sensitive irregularity. Together, these buildings represent the responses of some of the world’s most respected architects to the problems of...
