Antigone est une tragédie grecque de Sophocle. Antigone fait part à sa sœur Ismène de son intention de braver l'interdiction d'accomplir les rites funéraires pour leur frère Polynice — tué par son autre frère Étéocle lors d'une bataille où chaque frère veut tuer l'autre pour devenir roi de Thèbes, mais les deux meurent —, et cela sous peine d'être lapidée par le peuple thébain, car l'interdiction a été émise par le roi Créon. |

Of all the games in the casino, only one allows the player to engage the house in a fair fight. Craps, when played intelligently and prudently, reduces the house advantage to a miniscule .6 percent, a margin that can be overcome with smart betting and simple money management. How could casinos afford to offer such a winnable game? What’s the catch? For players willing to devote a little time and patience learning the ins and outs, there is no catch! Here is the most comprehensive, expert, and reader-friendly guide to casino craps ever written. Robert R. Roto, a documented lifetime winner, has dissected the odds like a surgeon and formulated several systems of variable risk and aggressiveness—all guaranteed to maximize the player’s chances of winning. Whether you are betting with $5 or $1,000 chips, whether you play “right” or “wrong,” whether your strategy is to come in on the Pass line and then switch to Don’t Pass, or you employ the “just did—do that” session rule, Roto will teach you how to milk the casino odds for every percentage point possible. Too many players refuse to learn the nuances of the game, insisting instead on fattening the casino’s bankroll. Wouldn’t you rather join the author in the winners’ club? |

"A good city is like a good party—you stay for longer than you plan,” says Danish architect Jan Gehl. He believes that good architecture is not about form, but about the interaction between form and life. Over the last 50 years, Gehl has changed the way that we think about architecture and city planning—moving from the Modernist separation of uses to a human-scale approach inviting people to use their cities. At a time when growing numbers are populating cities, planning urban spaces to be humane, safe, and open to all is ever-more critical. With the help of Jan Gehl, we can all become advocates for human-scale design.Jan's research, theories, and strategies have been helping cities to reclaim their public space and recover from the great post-WWII car invasion. His work has influenced public space improvements in over 50 global cities, including New York, London, Moscow, Copenhagen, Melbourne, Sydney, and the authors' hometown of Perth. While much has been written by Jan Gehl about his approach, and by others about his influence, this book tells the inside story of how he learned to study urban spaces and implemhis people-centered approach. People Cities discusses the work, theory, life, and influence of Jan Gehl from the perspective of those who have worked with him across the globe. Authors Matan and Newman celebrate Jan's role in changing the urban planning paradigm from an abstract, ideological modernism to a people-focused movement. It is organized around the creation of that movement, using key periods in Jan's working life as a structure. People Cities will inspire anyone who wants to create vibrant, human-scale cities and understand the ideas and work of an architect who has minfluenced how we should and can design cities for people. |

The Pulitzer Prize-winning tragedy of a salesman’s deferred American dream   Ever since it was first performed in 1949, Death of a Salesman has been recognized as a milestone of the American theater. In the person of Willy Loman, the aging, failing salesman who makes his living riding on a smile and a shoeshine, Arthur Miller redefined the tragic hero as a man whose dreams are at once insupportably vast and dangerously insubstantial. He has given us a figure whose name has become a symbol for a kind of majestic grandiosity—and a play that compresses epic extremes of humor and anguish, promise and loss, between the four walls of an American living room. "By common consent, this is one of the finest dramas in the whole range of the American theater." —Brooks Atkinson, The New York Times "So simple, central, and terrible that the run of playwrights would neither care nor dare to attempt it." — Time |
