From the DJ: "Commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the first nonstop flight across the Atlantic, during eight days in May 1969 an irrepressible cavalcade of self-styled adventurers raced between the top of the Empire State Building and the London Post Office Tower. Organized by the DAILY MAIL of London, with $144, 000 in prizes donated for 21 separate categories, the race involved 390 competitors, the cooperation of the aviation industry, and the work of hundreds of volunteers interested in the future of air travel. Humor, tension, cunning, and even sabotage marked many of the 349 attempts to cross the Atlantic in one direction or the other. Competitors used everything from regular airliners to light aircraft, from supersonic military jets to powered gliders." 224pp. Size: Octavo.

19 x 19 cm. Condition: Gut. 336 Seiten/pages Original Broschur. Soft cover. Le Corbusier (* 6. Oktober 1887 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Schweiz; 27. August 1965 in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Frankreich; eigentlich Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris) war ein schweizerisch-französischer Architekt, Architekturtheoretiker, Stadtplaner, Maler, Zeichner, Bildhauer und Möbel-Designer. Er war einer der einflussreichsten Architekten des 20. Jahrhunderts, dessen neue Ideen aber auch Kontroversen auslösten. Corbusier veröffentlichte über 50 Bücher und initiierte mit der CIAM eine moderne Architekturbewegung. Seine Betongebäude begründeten den Architekturstil des Brutalismus. Er ist bis heute umstritten, besonders wegen seiner Sympathie und Verbindung zum Faschismus seit den 1920er Jahren.[1][2] Seit 2016 gehören 17 seiner Bauten in sieben verschiedenen Ländern zum UNESCO-Welterbe.[3] Sein Pseudonym Le Corbusier nahm er in Anlehnung an den Namen seiner Urgrossmutter Lecorbésier und an corbeau (ĞRabeğ) erstmals 1920 in der Zeitschrift LEsprit nouveau an.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - As employed here the term grass applies only to species included in the Poaceae, one of the largest families of flowering plants. However, the word is often applied to any herbaceous plant with long, narrow leaves. A similar view was adopted by the Ancients. The Greeks applied the words poa, poe and agrostis to herbaceous plants in general and the Romans employed the words gramen and herba in a similar sense. In both cultures, unique names were applied to species of economic or special s- nificance. As a major source of cereals, pasture plants and even timber, the Poaceae are one of the most important economic plant families. Many have acquired vernacular names but these vary from place to place and so are of limited value for technical purposes. For ease of professional communication vernacular names are replaced with bino- als whose use is controlled by an International body. Initially the binomials were derived mainly from words of Classical Greek or Latin, but the practice was never strictly enforced. Today taxonomists often employ words from their own language or resort to naming grasses after places, people, ships, uses, acronyms to name but a few sources. In the process the names are often Latinized making it difficult for readers, especially those whose language has not been inf- enced by the European Classics, to recognize their sources and to determine their meanings.
