This book, designed for students who have already developed a basic competence in German, aims to broaden and improve their vocabulary by providing detailed information on groups of German words with related meanings. It is invaluable as a guide to finding the right word for the context. In order to enhance understanding of the structure of the German vocabulary, groups of synonyms are organised under German (rather than English) headwords. All entries are accompanied by an example of usage and English glosses and there are two indexes allowing users quickly to locate words in German or English. The book takes full account of register variation, indicating the degree of formal or informal use, and reflects regional usage especially in Austria and Switzerland. It is an essential reference for intermediate and advanced students as well as teachers and other professional linguists seeking access to the finer nuances of the German language.

Fans of Sarah J. Maas and Holly Black won’t be able to resist the world of Melissa Marr's #1 New York Times bestselling series, full of faerie intrigue, mortal love, and courtly betrayal. Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible faeries. Aislinn has always seen faeries. Powerful and dangerous, they walk hidden in mortal world. Aislinn fears their cruelty—especially if they learn of her Sight—and wishes she were as blind to their presence as other teens. Rule #2: Don't speak to invisible faeries. Now faeries are stalking her. One of them, Keenan, who is equal parts terrifying and alluring, is trying to talk to her, asking questions Aislinn is afraid to answer. Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention. But it's too late. Keenan is the Summer King who has sought his queen for nine centuries. Without her, summer itself will perish. He is determined that Aislinn will become the Summer Queen at any cost—regardless of her plans or desires. Suddenly none of the rules that have kept Aislinn safe are working anymore, and everything is on the line: her freedom, her best friend Seth, her life—everything.

Steiner is regarded as one of the most influential reformers of the twentieth century. He created extraordinary furniture designs and initiated a building style that seems to prefigure contemporary architecture. At the same time, he advocated a holistic view of humanity which shows its influence in many areas of our lives today, and he inspired artists such as Piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky and Joseph Beuys. This book is the first presentation of Steiner's work in its full breadth. Numerous scholarly essays discuss the origins, context and influence of Steiner's work, complemented by over 500 illustrations, inlcuding both new and historical photographs, architectural plans, notebook sketches and artworks. This material is supplemented by comparisons with current design trends, from works by Olafur Eliasson and design objects by Konstantin Grcic to the architecture of Herzog & de Meuron. With texts by Philip Ursprung, Paul Virilio, Mateo Kries, Walter Kugler, Markus Bruderlin, Wolfgang Pehnt, Julia Althaus, Wolfgang Zumdick and others.
