Michael Cunningham brings together his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel with the masterpiece that inspired it, Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway.In The Hours, the acclaimed author Michael Cunningham draws inventively on the life and work of Virginia Woolf and the story of her novel, Mrs. Dalloway, to tell the story of a group of contemporary characters struggling with the conflicting claims of love and inheritance, hope and despair. In this edition, Cunningham brings his own Pulitzer Prize-winning novel together with Woolf's masterpiece, which has long been hailed as a groundbreaking work of literary fiction and one of the finest novels written in English.The two novels, published side by side with a new introduction by Cunningham, display the extent of their affinity, and each illuminates new facets of the other in this joint volume. In his introduction, Cunningham re-creates the wonderment of his first encounter with Mrs. Dalloway at fifteen-as he writes, "I was lost. I was gone. I never recovered." With this edition, Cunningham allows us to disappear into the world of Woolf and into his own brilliant mind.

Use this helpful book to learn about the leadership tools to fuel success, grow your team, and become the visionary you were meant to be.True leadership isn't a matter of having a certain job or title. In fact, being chosen for a position is only the first of the five levels every effective leader achieves. To become more than "the boss" people follow only because they are required to, you have to master the ability to invest in people and inspire them. To grow further in your role, you must achieve results and build a team that produces. You need to help people to develop their skills to become leaders in their own right. And if you have the skill and dedication, you can reach the pinnacle of leadership—where experience will allow you to extend your influence beyond your immediate reach and time for the benefit of others.The 5 Levels of Leadership are:1. Position—People follow because they have to.2. Permission—People follow because they want to.3. Production—People follow because of what you have done for the organization.4. People Development—People follow because of what you have done for them personally.5. Pinnacle—People follow because of who you are and what you represent.Through humor, in-depth insight, and examples, internationally recognized leadership expert John C. Maxwell describes each of these stages of leadership. He shows you how to master each level and rise up to the next to become a more influential, respected, and successful leader.

Zwischen Ohnmacht und Größen- wahn schwankend versuchen Architekten und Stadtplaner seit langem, ganze Lebensräume, Zivilisationen und sogar den Planeten zu entwerfen. Im gegenwärtigen Klima geopolitischer Unsicherheiten und Revisionen der Rechtsstaatlichkeit, die vor dem Hintergrund beispielloser Umweltveränderungen statt- finden, erkennen Design-Fachleute jedoch einmal mehr die Verwund- barkeit ihres Fachgebiets an. Everyday Matters zeigt wie Archi- tekten ihren Schwerpunkt auf den Bereich des Alltäglichen verlagert haben, da sie mit den Herausforde- rungen einer ungewissen Zukunft konfrontiert sind.Ausgehend von der Betrachtung banaler Objekte, der Verwendung einfacher Materialen, der Beschäf- tigung mit täglichen Routinen und Fragen der Instandhaltung zeichnet das Buch nach, wie der Alltag sowohl praktische als auch theore- tische Bereiche der Architektur und des Städtebaus beeinflusst, indem er eine neue Ethik und Ästhetik der Bescheidenheit auslöste, eine Entwurfshaltung, die in keiner Weise von Untätigkeit oder mangelndem Willen zeugt, sondern von einem neuen Selbstverständnis der Architekten, Design für alle als gemein- sames Anliegen wieder relevant zu machen.Mit einem Vorwort von Beatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley. Beiträge von Anna Heringer, Andrés Jaque, Anna Puigjaner, Charlotte Malterre-Barthes u.v.a.

Although much classical HF and mobile equipment is still in use by large numbers of amateurs, the use of computers and digital techniques has now become very popular among amateur radio operators. Nowadays, anyone can purchase a EUR4 Raspberry Pi Pico computer and develop many amateur radio projects using the "Pico" and some external components. This book is aimed at amateur radio enthusiasts, Electronic Engineering students, and anyone interested in learning to use the Raspberry Pi Pico to shape their electronic projects. The book is suitable for beginners in electronics as well as for those with wide experience.Step-by-step installation of the MicroPython programming environment is described. Some knowledge of the Python programming language is helpful to be able to comprehend and modify the projects given in the book. The book introduces the Raspberry Pi Pico and gives examples of many general-purpose, software-only projects that familiarize the reader with the Python programming language. In addition to the software-only projects tailored to the amateur radio operator, Chapter 6 in particular presents over 36 hardware-based projects for "hams", including:Station mains power on/off controlRadio station clockGPS based station geographical coordinatesRadio station temperature and humidityVarious waveform generation methods using software and hardware (DDS)Frequency counterVoltmeter / ammeter / ohmmeter / capacitance meterRF meter and RF attenuatorsMorse code exercisersRadioStation Click boardRaspberry Pi Pico based FM radioUsing Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with Raspberry Pi PicoRadio station security with RFIDAudio amplifier module with rotary encoder volume controlMorse decoderUsing the FS1000A TX-RX modules to communicate with ArduinoAll programs discussed in this publication are available from the book's resources and information web page at www.elektor.com/20041.

Each of us develops and enacts strategies for living our everyday lives. These may confirm the general tendency towards new forms of connected solitude, in which we work, travel and live alone, yet feel sociable mainly by means of technology. Alternatively, they may help to create flexible communities that are open and inclusive, and therefore resilient and socially sustainable. In Politics of the Everyday, Ezio Manzini discusses examples of social innovation that show how, even in these difficult times, a better kind of society is possible. By bringing autonomy and collaboration together, it is possible to develop new forms of design intelligence, for our own good, for the good of the communities we are part of, and for society as a whole.

"Der Trend hin zum Tiny House, eingedeutscht ""Tiny Haus"" - und auch dem Mikroapartment - ist mehr als nur ein Hype. Es ist eine Lebenseinstellung, diese Besinnung auf das Wesentliche, die viele Menschen überzeugt. Und die vergangenen Monate haben uns gezeigt, was wir wirklich brauchen, und das ist oft weniger als wir dachten. Überall auf der Welt sind Häuser und Wohneinheiten im Mini-Format ein Thema, sie sind eine Möglichkeit, sich den Traum vom Eigenheim zu erfüllen. Die sorgfältig ausgewählten Projekte aus aller Welt dokumentieren, wie sich durch Konzentration auf das Wesentliche, intelligente Grundrisse, durchdachte Stauraumlösungen und funktionale Verschachtelung Raum gewinnen lässt. Sie zeigen auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise, wie große Wohnqualität auf kleiner Fläche durch überzeugendes Design möglich wird. "Raum ist in der kleinsten Hütte Für ein glücklich liebend Paar." Friedrich Schiller"

A chapter on Kassel presents and explains all the locations of the show, including the artists and collectives represented here.
