A day like any other for security chief Tracy Waterhouse, until she makes a purchase she hadn`t bargained for. One moment of madness is all it takes for Tracy`s humdrum world to be turned upside down, the tedium of everyday life replaced by fear and danger at every turn.

"Station am Horizont" ist der schönste der frühen Romane Erich Maria Remarques, der viele Querverbindungen zu späteren Werken aufweist; in der Verknüpfung von Liebesgeschichte, mondänem Gesellschaftsleben, Autorennen und exquisiten Dialogen vor allem zu "Der Himmel kennt keine Günstlinge". Es ist die Geschichte von dem Lebemann und Rennfahrer Kai, von Männerfreundschaft und Rivalität, von drei Frauen, von Ruhelosigkeit und Exzess in einer trägen, verwöhnten Gesellschaft. Ein schwungvoll geschriebener, atmosphärischer Roman und eine Entdeckung für jeden Remarque-Freund!

Architecture has advanced quickly in the field of construction materials, which are fundamental when fulfilling dreams of raising massive buildings. Amongst these materials that have had the biggest influence in the creation of this kind of architecture is steel. As a result of a carbon-alloy, steel is ductile but at the same time resistant and tough. Today it is not only present in the structure of all types of buildings, but also used in designs for household objects and plays a major role in avant-garde interior design. On the basis of about 40 projects this book shows how multifariously steel can be leveraged. Plans of the projects will be shown as far as available. An index of contact information of the designer and architects is...
