BOOK
Settlement: A Novel
Christoph Hein
$13.50

About this product:

In “one of the most important German novels of recent years,”* a man, a town, and a country wrestle with fifty years of displacement and political upheaval

Provincial Guldenberg is still reeling from World War II when a flood of German refugees arrives from the east, Bernhard Haber’s family among them. Life is hard enough—Bernhard’s father has lost an arm and his carpenter’s income. But added to this injury comes an accumulation of insults, as the upright town turns hostile toward the newcomers. After a string of mysterious losses—from the killing of the boy’s dog to the unexplained death of his father—Bernhard is set on extracting revenge.

Rich with psychological insight, Christoph Hein’s acclaimed novel tells Bernhard’s story across nearly fifty years, chronicling his remarkable rise from victimized outsider to Guldenberg’s most prominent burgher. What began as a geographic dislocation evolves into a personal quest: the thirst for vengeance yields to the deeper need for a home and settling down proves more important than settling grudges. As the socialist state gives way to reunification and the capitalism of the 1990s, Hein’s masterful, multivoiced narration charts the transformation not just of one man but of an entire nation struggling to leave history behind and claim a home.

BOOK
Effective Legal Negotiation And Settlement
Charles B. Craver
$60.00

About this product:
There are a lot of books which deals with the the subject of legal negotiation. Since I am currently writing the first book on this subject to be published in Norway, I have read basically all of the books available. Some books are not so good, some books are quite good. Professor Craver's "Effective Legal Negotiation and Settlement" (Fourth Edition) is simply excellent! In my view, both as a Supreme Court Attorney and partner in one of Norway's biggest law firms and as a scholar/author, this is by far the best book on the market. Why? I have three main reasons: 1) Contrary to many other books it does not loose itself in the world of academics or theories. This book is written for lawyers and others who are negotiating in the real world. As a former lawyer, professor Craver has been there himself. He knows what the lawyer is facing and how the lawyer should negotiate both to obtain the maximum result for the client and to be a value creator. 2) The book is backed by references to studies and examples which show that what the author is saying is correct and backed by real life studies. 3) The book is very well-written. It is clear, it is concise and it is easy to follow what the author means, why he means it and where he is going.

I could not have competed with professor Craver's book even if my book had been written in English. I have read his book many times, and I will read it again. This is an outstanding book and superb reading. In my view no other book even comes close!!

BOOK
Human Settlements and Planning for Ecological Sustainability: The Case of Mexico City (Urban and Industrial Environments)
Keith Pezzoli
$26.99

About this product:
foreword by John Friedmann

In many areas of the world, environmental degradation in and around human settlements is undermining prospects for both socioeconomic justice and ecological sustainability. To explore the issues involved in this worldwide problem, Keith Pezzoli focuses on a dramatic instance of conflict that grew out of the unauthorized penetration of human settlements into the Ajusco greenbelt zone, a vital part of Mexico City's ecological reserve.

The heart of the book is the story of what happened when residents of the Ajusco settlements fought relocation by proposing that the areas be transformed into productive ecology settlements. Pezzoli draws upon urban and regional planning theory and practice to examine biophysical as well as ethical and social sides of the story, and he uses the Mexican experience to identify planning strategies to link economy, ecology, and community in sustainable development.
