Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Literally translated, sema tawy means "the union of the two lands" of upper and lower Egypt, but the hieroglyphic sign for this union is derived from the lung and trachea and also means "to breathe". The book explores the mythic background of this fundamental polarity and its textual and graphic expressions. Breathing is definitely the essential prerequisite of human and animate life. Perceiving Egypt as a living Being, as the ancient Egyptians used to do, its life depended on its breath, the multi-layered rhythmical respiratory process whose outward appearance was seen in the river Nile and whose hidden implications permeated every part of Egyptian culture. Sema tawy is one of the fundamental concepts of ancient Egypt. A multitude of sema tawy symbols adorn the thrones of the Egyptian kings and the walls of temples and tombs. In spite of their omnipresence they do not belong to the favorite topics of egyptologists, and tourists have never paid much attention to them. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The photographer and physicist Werner Lorke illuminates the changing history of a former bomb shelter and hotel which was in use under the Market Square in Stuttgart from 1945 until 1995. The windowless rooms remain to this day with their wallpapered walls and 60's and 70's era lamp fixtures. Through the years wildly growing mould colonies have covered the walls and remaining furnishings. Following the various stages of decomposition, unusual and strange patterns have arisen. Large format photographs provide a view into a bizarre world. The book does not rest solely on the charm of the morbid. The historic, architectural, and urban planning contexts which were allowed by the construction of the bunker biotope are communicated along with the microbiological conditions.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Once the capital of the Eastern Roman, Byzantine, Latin (Imperial), and Ottoman empires, founded 2700 years ago by Byzas from Megara, the city has been conquered several times and has been put into ruins hundreds of times. The city, which was overrun by peoples, migrations of nations, and armies, and yet each time again arose again from ruins was reborn as Istanbul from its ashes. Her deeply wounded soul was revived each time. I carry the hope in me that it will be so this time again. In the old days, however, the absinthe drunkards stepped up the tower stairs, pushed off from the parapet of the viewer platform, bolted into the air, and fell to the feet of a gendarme. In the pockets of the high diver one found mostly a love letter to a young gazelle-eyed girl, which took the dramatic admirer from now on her prayers. These stories from an old time still sir the Turks to tears, even if they know how to handle things better today in life. For a long time I got up early. That was in Instanbul, on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus, in by beloved city, which has followed me everywhere, and whose memory is forever engraved in my memory like a glowing iron. Every morning I got up at the hour of prayer to write. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This collection is the continuation of the series which began with MYNY in 2008. The series provides primers on life in international metropolitan centres. The volume focuses on 44 photographs taken by the Stuttgart architect and urban planner Joerg Esefeld between 1987 and 1988 and 53 photographs taken by the Moscow photographer and graphic artist, Sascho Neroslavsky, between 2003 to 2009. Joerg Esefeld captures scenes from the transitional period of Glasnost and Perestroilka. His photographs document solitary architectural structures in the urban fabric of the crumbling Soviet capital. Sascho Neroslaysky's photographs foreground the erosion of architectural scale. In his photographs, the large scale proclamations of the new consumerism have ousted the appeal of socialism. Here the traditional architecture is sometimes obscured beyond recognition. Inspired by the collection of photographs, a diverse set of authors have written personal stories from their everyday life experiences. They depict scenes which have left an impression on them and which manifest the uniqueness of life in Moscow.Features 59 texts, sketches and drawings by different authors (artists, musicians, architects, politicians and photographers).

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Book & CD. Aleppo is not perceived outside the Arab world as a "metropolis" -- at the same limo, though, the city with a five thousand year old history is one of the world's oldest cities. In this way, MYAL (My Aleppo) is to be understood as a special study about the development of the term metropolis and asks the fundamental question how a "metropolis" should be defined. Today, the city of almost three million people is the industrial and commercial capital of Syria, where, in a fascinating way, tradition and modernity, and East and West meet. MYAL (My Aleppo) attempts not only to show the "sights" of Aleppo, but to show the "inner sights" from the life of the Aleppines: city structures as well as life and customs that have been developed over centuries and now are subject to a rapid process of transformation due to altered social, economic, and political conditions. These are more everyday images of local people and foreigners, visible and invisible, from the narrow quarters of the Old City and the Souk with its noisy intimacy, the view from the Citadel out across the city, and from submerging into the partially strange and hidden worlds of Aleppo and its inhabitants.At the heart of the book are photos from the period around 1900 taken, among others, from the archive of Poche-Marrache and the archive from Thierry, Grandin, as well as photographs of different photographers from more recent years. These images are supplemented by articles From different authors about daily life in Aleppo. During the production of this book, a mood of change manifested itself in Syrian society, the results of which are not yet foreseeable. So, the articles in this volume perhaps document something that will (or may) soon belong in part to the past. The CD with songs from Abed Azrie from Aleppo completes the triad of the city along with the articles and photographs.
