Transgressive, foulmouthed, and wildly funny 100 Boyfriends is a filthy, unforgettable, and brutally profound ode to messy queer love. From one-night stands to recurring lovers, Brontez Purnell"s characters expose themselves to racist neighbours, date Satanists, and drink their way out of trouble, all the while fighting - and often losing - the urge to self-sabotage. Drawing us into a community of glorious misfits living on the margins of a white supremacist, heteronormative society, Purnell gives us an uncompromising vision of desire, desperation, race, loneliness, and queerness.

Innovative und intime Architektur von China bis Chile§§Privathäuser zu entwerfen stellt jeden Architekten vor ganz besondere Herausforderungen. Der Rahmen ist meist bescheidener als bei öffentlichen Projekten, die technischen Anforderungen sind weniger komplex als bei Industrie-Bauten, doch dafür werden die individuellen Wünsche und Visionen des Auftraggebers zur absoluten Priorität. Die durchaus delikate Aufgabe besteht darin, die emotionalen und praktischen Aspekte eines Zuhauses funktionierende Realität werden zu lassen.§§Dieser Band präsentiert 100 der weltweit interessantesten und ungewöhnlichsten Privathäuser der letzten zehn Jahre und stellt viele teils neue, teils bereits etablierte Architekten vor, darunter John Pawson, Richard Meier, Shigeru Ban, Tadao Ando, Zaha Hadid, Herzog und de Meuron, Daniel Libeskind, Alvaro Siza, UNStudio und Peter Zumthor. Über die üblichen Bereiche zum Essen, Schlafen und Wohnen hinaus bieten die Gebäude auch Raum für persönliche Erlebnisse und Beziehungen - eine Architektur, wie sie elementarer und intimer nicht sein könnte.

Il n'y a pas si longtemps, certains considéraient le bois comme un matériau du passé, remplacé depuis bien des décennies par des composants plus modernes comme le béton et l'acier. La vérité est tout autre. Grâce aux nouvelles techniques de fabrication et à ses avantages écologiques, le bois connaît un formidable regain dans la construction contemporaine.Cet ouvrage se penche sur la façon dont les architectes du monde entier créent et innovent avec ce matériau fondamental. À travers les folies, les bâtiments de grande envergure et les ambitieux schémas de renouvellement urbain présentés, il célèbre la diversité des traitements du bois par les architectes de différents horizons. On voit ainsi combien le bois peut à la fois transformer les espaces urbains, comme dans le cas du Metropol Parasol de Séville conçu par Jürgen Mayer H., et permettre des interventions sensibles dans des environnement naturels, comme le Termas Geométricas Hot Springs Complex de Pucón, au Chili, signé Germán del Sol.Fidèle à l'esprit des titres TASCHEN dédiés à l'architecture, ce livre rend hommage à nombre de talents internationaux émergents ainsi qu'à de grands noms comme Tadao Ando et Renzo Piano. Il célèbre la vision novatrice de chaque architecte et s'intéresse aux techniques, aux tendances et aux principes qui guident leur travail avec le bois. Il évoque aussi le fraisage assisté par ordinateur, qui a permis de toutes nouvelles formes, la déforestation responsable, qui rend le bois compatible avec nos préoccupations environnementales, et surtout, l'attrait inaltérable que le bois exerce sur nos sens et notre psyché, en apportant à nos trépidantes vies modernes un peu de simplicité et de chaleur.

If you are aware of endgame patterns, you spot key moves quicker, analyse and calculate better, avoid making errors and memorize what you have studied more fully.Most of the patterns Jesus de la Villa presents in this new book are from the phase of the game just before a theoretical endgame turns up. Knowing these practical endgame fundamentals will enable you to fully reap the benefits of what you learned in De la Villas widely acclaimed classic 100 Endgames You Must Know.Studying patterns only makes sense if you are going to encounter them frequently. De la Villa presents those that have the greatest practical importance and explains and illustrates them with carefully selected examples. To show the patterns as clearly as possible, he mainly concentrates on positions in which both sides have just one piece. Presenting positions withmore pieces risks blurring the picture and making motifs less straightforward.The fact that players think in patterns has an important side-effect: their endgame errors tend to repeat themselves. Thats why De la Villa has not just included examples from games of elite GMs but also of amateurs. Errors are always instructive and working with this book will seriously reduce the number of typical mistakes you are prone to make. The many practical exercises that De la Villa has selected will help you improve and retain what you have learned.

Perhaps the greatest beauty in chess can be found in endgame studies. Delightful twists and turns on the board are combined into true works of art. In studies, chess is distilled into its purest form, with all pieces making only the most essential moves. Endgame studies are also useful exercises for practical chess players, as they show patterns, improve calculation, and inspire out-of-the-box thinking.Grandmaster Jan Timman has been fascinated by endgame studies since his youth. The artistry and perfection have always appealed to him. In recent years his focus has shifted from practical chess to composing endgame studies, and many of his compositions have won awards. Timman wrote about composing in The Art of the Endgame (New In Chess, Revised Edition 2023).In new book Timman presents the one hundred greatest endgame studies. In five chapters he guides you through masterpieces of increasing difficulty, beginning with elementary endings such as the Réti and Lasker manoeuvres. The studies include themes such as minor) promotion, Zugzwang and domination, all beautifully illustrated and clearly explained. By the time you reach the final chapter with the most complicated examples, you will be amazed at the myriad possibilities of chess and inspired to add more finesse to your own endgame play.

This is a new and improved edition of an all-time classic! The good news about endgames is that there are relatively few endings you should know by heart and that once you know these endings, that's it. Your knowledge never goes out of date!This is a new and improved edition of an all-time classic! The good news about endgames is that there are relatively few endings you should know by heart and that once you know these endings, that's it. Your knowledge never goes out of date!The bad news is, that the endgame technique of most players is deficient. Modern time-controls make matters worse: there is simply not enough time to delve deep into the position.Grandmaster Jesus de la Villa debunks the myth that endgame theory is complex, and he teaches you to steer the game into a position you are familiar with. This book contains only those endgames that show up most frequently, are easy to learn and contain ideas that are useful in more difficult positions.Your performance will improve dramatically because this book brings you simple rules, detailed and lively explanations, many diagrams, clear summaries of the most important themes and dozens of tests.

This special hardcover edition of 100 Endgames You Must Know celebrates the sale of more than 25,000 copies of this modern chess classic. The books success since its first publication in English in 2008 can be explained by its simplicity, its accessibility, and its great instructive value. If youve never read an endgame book before, this is the one you should start with, said book reviewer GM Matthew Sadler.
