Theories of Metaphor Revised
Interest in literary and linguistic research on metaphor and imagery has increased over the past thirty years. However, theoretical studies dealing with the functioning of metaphor are still rare. Scholars often develop their theoretical approach to metaphor suiting their special goals of analysis only. In addition, a few explanatory models are ubiquitous, such as substitution, analogy-theory, elliptical simile, transferred meaning, the theory of interaction, and conceptualism. In his theoretical sketch Stephan Kessler gives a discursive criticism of the existing models of metaphor and offers a review of conceptualism. What has once been denoted 'rhetorical metaphor' has been changed completely by conceptualism: `Metaphor' itself has become a metaphor. Here, the well-known models of metaphor have led Kessler to dedicate deeper pragma-linguistic thoughts to the functioning of tropes. In Kessler's study, conceptualism is perceived through the eyes of its most prominent supporters, Lakoff and Johnson.

Twentieth-Century Building Materials
Over the concluding decades of the twentieth century, the historic preservation community increasingly turned its attention to modern buildings, including bungalows from the 1930s, gas stations and diners from the 1940s, and office buildings and architectural homes from the 1950s. Conservation efforts, however, were often hampered by a lack of technical information about the products used in these structures, and to fill this gap Twentieth-Century Building Materials was developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service and first published in 1995. Now, this invaluable guide is being reissued—with a new preface by the book’s original editor. With more than 250 ill...
Peking to Paris - The Ultimate Driving Adventure
The official record of the centennial re-enactment of a great motoring milestone. Man and machine against the elements, driving where no car has gone before … that was the impossible challenge of 1907, when a handful of buccaneering madcap motorists took up the idea of a Paris newspaper to prove that the car could now go anywhere by driving the huge distance between two capital cities – Peking to Paris. To mark the 100th anniversary of the original 'Great Race', over 100 cars set out to drive the original route used by Prince Borghese in 1907. They ranged from authentic veteran Italas and vintage Bentleys to classic Aston Martins, and pretty much everything in-between. Drivers of 26 different nationalities came together to test their wits and their cars by driving for 40 days from the Great Wall of China, across the Gobi Desert. With around 250 photos, official maps and inside information from the event organiser, this is a fascinating and colourful read for every red-blooded motoring enthusiast.

Lexikon der Kölner Architekten vom Mittelalter bis zum 20. Jahrhundert
Mit dem hier vorgelegten Lexikon der Kölner Architekten wird ein Lebenswerk von Wolfram Hagspiel (14.05.1952-03.06.2021) postum veröffentlicht, das seinesgleichen sucht. In über vier Jahrzehnten hat der Kölner Kunsthistoriker, Architekturhistoriker und Denkmalpfleger detailreich Informationen über Leben und Wirken von über 10.300 Architekten ausgewertet und erfasst. Über viele war bisher nur wenig bekannt. Hagspiel hat Archivquellen, graue Literatur und Monographien ausgewertet. Aufnahme fanden auch Personen, die bis ins 20. Jahrhundert aus der Bauwirtschaft stammend Architektur entwarfen, wie Baumeister, Maurermeister und Statiker. Der Autor, der nach 45 Jahren ein umfangreiches Oeuvre zur Kölner Architekturgeschichte hinterlassen hat, gibt damit erstmals einen Überblick über die Personen, die die Stadt seit Jahrhunderten gestalterisch erlebbar machten und machen.
