Combining the echoes of a minimalistic expression, the language of design hotel’s composition appears to be deliberately simplified to offer the possibility of communication between the worlds of architectural design and industry. They are now moving closer together to enable the exchange of roles and defining the most sophisticated attainable qualities for a space ad its users. The harmonious existence of this type of hotels emerged worldwide five years ago, allowing inhabitants to adapt a new identity through the experiences o architectonic spaces and cosmopolitan hubs. The volume at hand illustrates over 50 contemporary international design examples that naturally fuse through the balance of comfort, function and style, making hotels a " home in time".

"After an amazing abundance of colours and form in the 1960s, high-quality wall covers were increasingly substituted by the ubiquitous woodchip paper. In the meantime, though, wallpaper has evolved into one of the trend topics in materials. Traditional manufacturers are now employing renowned designers to create new patterns which are clearly inspired by current trends or even evolve into trend setters of their own right. This book explores wallpaper designs by individual designers and studios around the world. Patterns and textures are brought to life through a vast array of full-colour illustrations throughout."--Publisher description.

Philosophische Anthropologie meint in dieser Studie nicht eine philosophische Subdisziplin, sondern eine besondere Theorierichtung in der deutschsprachigen Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts, die mit den Namen Max Scheler, Helmuth Plessner, Erich Rothacker, Arnold Gehlen, Adolf Portmann u. v. a. mehr verbunden ist. Fischers 2008 erstmalig erschienene Studie, die hier in einer 2., durchgesehenen Auflage erscheint, hat in über dreißig Besprechungen eine enorme Resonanz erfahren - in der Philosophie, Soziologie und intellektuellen Öffentlichkeit. Sie wird gewürdigt als ein Standardwerk zur Theoriegeschichte, aber auch zur Theoriesystematik der Philosophischen Anthropologie, die damit als ein auch im 21. Jahrhundert anschlussfähiges Paradigma neu ins Spiel gesetzt werde.
