The new edition of The Structure of German has been fully revised to take account of developments in the subject. The author describes German phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.

Help others achieve their dreams and you will achieve yours," by Les Brown Please, before you read this book don't judge if you don't know me. Maybe when you have read this book you may want to criticise what I have written. Even then I don't think you will fully understand, because I don't even understand myself sometimes. Because I live with bipolar disorder a chronic condition that apparently affects over 1% of the population. It's a condition that has plagued me with a black cloud of depression most of my life, I believe. My story will take you from the streets of America as a young boy to a discovery in the jungle of India to an enlightenment and maturity of the present day in England. It's a truthful account about my experience combined with a street philosophy as a way of looking at life with open eyes. Some of the stories I shall tell may shock or question your belief but try to keep an open mind. We all have that survival instinct so let your mind free and become a survivor. As we travel through my life looking at fate, luck, love, money and many more interesting subjects you will find the philosophy that should be helpful in your life. Out of every negative comes some positives; its natures balance. Be careful what you wish for though, because as you will see dreams do come true. I will show you how poor decisions can have lasting affects and how mistakes we make sometimes show us the path we must lead. I wish I didn't make so many mistakes but then the saying goes "it is said that only a fool learns from his own mistakes, a wise man from the mistakes of others, "an anonymous quote. Now, don't go jumping of a bridge, though, that's not a bad idea, only joking. To me it seems that we all strive constantly for more each day, whether that's more material wealth or just a better understanding of who we are and why we are here. Yet, when we depart this world we leave with nothing of earthly value. The only real worth is the love we have encountered in our life. This book is about love and finding who we really are. The kind of philosophy and experience I have learnt will possibly help you in your life, I sincerely hope so. How I came to write this book is some ways is the result of being hospitalised. No. Not because I was writing a book that happened later. I mean the computer didn't blow up and put me in hospital, although at times I have felt like chucking my laptop straight out the window. I have less patience now with computers than a dog on heat. You can call me Tony, so let the story begin...

Since the 16th century, Paris has been a leading arbiter of taste and the ultimate source of luxury goods for Europe and the world. However, the origins of the luxury trades of Paris and their role in the wider economic development of France and Europe have been relatively little examined by historians. This volume provides an entry into some of the many questions raised by the growth of the luxury trades, by bringing together eight detailed case studies of specific trades with five more wide-ranging and theoretical contributions. It therefore offers both the results of entirely new research and a range of new perspectives and methodological reflections on the subject as a whole. Essential to economic and social historians of Early Modern France, the book will also be of interest to all students of material culture.

“Expertly curated and styled rooms . . . The fifteen standout projects featured . . . are a testament to Nahem’s longstanding excellence and ingenuity.” —Vanity Fair Foreword by Robert Downey Jr. Over thirty years, Joe Nahem of Fox-Nahem has built a reputation for creating classic, contemporary, bespoke, and highly creative interior designs. The first book on his career, Fox-Nahem presents his most luxurious, exuberant, and refined interiors that showcase his own personal vision of modernism. Featuring fifteen projects, the accompanying essays detail Nahem’s design process, specifically his ability to function as much as a curator as designer, bringing together strong objects of quality and rarity in harmonious ensembles. Nahem’s interiors are unique because he designs many of the finishes, textiles, and furnishings that establish the look and feel of a room. He calls on a stable of artisans and craftspeople, including woodworkers, metal workers, and weavers, who assist him in creating one-of-a-kind environments for clients who demand something that no one else has. With more than 250 photographs, Fox-Nahem celebrates the work of a designer who seamlessly adapts his style to suit the context and fit his clients’ highly refined and original tastes.
