In July 2008, illustrator and designer Christoph Niemann began Abstract City, a visual blog for the New York Times. His posts were inspired by the desire to re-create simple and everyday observations and stories from his own life that everyone could relate to. In Niemann's hands, mundane experiences such as riding the subway or trying to get a good night's sleep were transformed into delightful flights of visual fancy. The struggle to keep up with housework became a battle against adorable but crafty goblins, and nostalgia about New York manifested in simple but strikingly spot-on LEGO creations. This brilliantly illustrated collection of reflections on modern life includes all 16 of the original blog posts as well as a new chapter created exclusively for the book.

A wrapped present. A curious young girl. A whole wide world of possibility. What would you wish for? From internationally renowned artist and designer Christoph Niemann, I wish is a universal and timeless celebration of anticipation and the limitless power of the imagination. I wish will inspire fans of Kobi Yamada’s What Do You Do with an Idea? and Suzy Lee’s Wave . When a young girl finds a wrapped present, she wonders what’s inside. In her imagination, the gift becomes anything she’s ever wished a fashionable pair of shoes, a pony to ride, and even wings to help her fly. As the girl’s anticipation expands and her imagination soars, so does the gift’s ability to surprise her and to transform itself into even greater and more meaningful things. Using an appealing limited color palette and wordless pages, award-winning artist Christoph Niemann challenges readers to think, laugh, imagine, and embrace the possibilities. I wish is an elegant and unique gift for any occasion and invites sharing and repeated readings. A must-have for readers of all ages. If you could have anything, what would you wish for?

How do things work? Hmmm. Let me think. That's How! Christoph Niemann invites you to look below the surface in this visual exploration of the way things work. Turns out there is more to it than meets the eye!

The research investigates the bearing behavior of pile groups under cyclic lateral loading, focusing on the effects of soil properties and pile geometry. It includes a literature review, experimental model tests (centrifuge and 1g small-scale) conducted in Australia and Germany, and a comparison of results. The study also features numerical analyses to assess simulation capabilities for predicting pile group responses. Finally, it presents equations for estimating lateral displacement accumulation and load distribution changes in pile groups.

Christoph Niemann has the most beautiful line of our time - his drawings and watercolors possess a subtle lightness, a roguishness and a poetic quality, which his peers strive for. They're simultaneously decorative and narrative. - Jeroen van Rooijen Christoph Niemann simply can't resist traveling. Luckily for us, he's no standard globetrotter but an artist who can masterfully capture his surroundings, wherever they may be, in vibrant brush and ink drawings. "As an artist," he says, "I'm conscious of the limitations that come from seeing the world through a Western lens. That's why I like to travel: because traveling requires-and inspires-a shift in perspective." And so in Away we're privileged to accompany him on journeys to all the destinations our wanderlust might desire, be they picturesque towns, bustling cities or sublime nature: from the elegant Tuileries of Paris to the dramatic Arctic forms of the Svalbard archipelago, from Angkor Wat to São Paulo and Venice and beyond...
