Ein Kollektiv ist weder notwendig eine Gruppe; die der Vielzahl ihrer Mitglieder eine institutionelle Einheit uuml;berstuuml;lpt; noch braucht es intensive emotionale Bindungen oder eine starke Gemeinschaftsimagination. Konzepte zerstreuter; sich durch Distanzen und Nachlauml;ssigkeiten organisierender Kollektivitauml;t geben uns heute die Mouml;glichkeit; das rsaquo;Zusammenlsaquo; des Zusammenlebens neu zu bestimmen. Kai van Eikels erforscht lose; schwarmartige Kollektivdynamiken in kuuml;nstlerischem; politischem und ouml;konomischem Agieren. Er zeigt; wie diese Praxisfelder im 21. Jahrhundert einander im Begriff raquo;performancelaquo; uuml;berschneiden; und fragt nach Strategien des Uuml;bens; des Improvisierens und einer demokratischen Anerkennung fuuml;r kollektives Handeln diesseits von Staat und Gemeinschaft.

What a wonderful book!By Jackie-the-GreyhoundI bought this book mostly to look at the chickens but it does also include various ducks; gees; emus (!); peafowl; swans and more. I intended this as a supplement to other chicken (etc) resources as it gives some really great studio shots of the breeds that many other books dont even have photos of. I also very much enjoyed the section on colors and feather patterns. In this regard the book really shines.My only (small) quibble with the book had to do with layout issues. The chicken breeds were divided between layers and meat breeds and I have to admit a little confusion as to how the so-called dual purpose breeds ended up in whichever section. The division made me flip the pages back and forth a bit more to find my favorites. Also; each breed was allotted one to two pages for photos (the studio shot plus more in some cases to delineate colors or other features) as well as a brief write-up. Unfortunately; again this is a SMALL quibble; but for some breeds that had 1.5 or 2 pages this involved either spilling over to the next breeds page or (gasp!) actually turning a page. In a style book like this it seems like it would have been more visually appealing to have all the information in one spot--either do one page or two (so no breed has to share) and if it is 2 pages; then keep it so the pages are even/odd (ie can be seen at once).Also; though this is mostly a picture book; there was breed information included (yay!) but the one thing I would have liked to see added in this case is anticipated egg production. Especially as some of the dual purpose birds ended up in the meat section; it would be nice to know (for example) the Delaware is actually a pretty darn good egg producer and can lay relatively well in the winter.Like I said; these are just small quibbles as overall the photography was splendid and having so many breeds in one non-electronic resource to look at is excellent. I would love to see a little tweaking to the layout and then see the book published as a hardcover/coffee table type book. Chickens are getting so popular as backyard pets/animals that I have a feeling that type of book would do very well.Highly Recommended!JTG31 of 32 people found the following review helpful. Pretty dang good; but not greatBy CustomerThis is a terrific book. I refer to it often. When I do; I am always aware of where this book falls short...consitency. While the chicken section; for example; is organized by layers; meat; etc they do not consistenly tell you how many eggs each chicken lays. Some have this info; some it doesnt even speak about it (even in the layer section). It would be nice if there were a list of facts they consistently provided for each bird. Also; while the book is filled with wonderful pictures; it is mainly of roosters...it would have been helpful if they provided a more even spread of hens and roosters; or even more useful-more hens; since people are more likely to keep hens than roosters. I would also like to see it include more photos of popular plumage for eac bird. One or two; when there are so many available; seems skimpy. If a book offered these changes; it would be; in my opinion; the best possible book about individual poultry breeds...until then; this is a pretty dang good book. There isnt any other that is better (so far....hint hint hint publishers!)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Only an overview of breedsBy Suzanne Marie OsborneI expected alot more from Storey and this author. Beautiful pictures but sometimes only of the roo. The information is not consistently ordered. One breed might say brown eggs; another tell a laying count and still another nothing about eggs. Some are in the summary box and some are mentioned in the body only. Also; theyre divided into meat; eggs; ornamental....I feel just alpha order with main usage noted would have read better. As it is I have to go to the index to learn my Orpington is considered a meat bird so thats where she is in the book. Wanting to see if her 3-4 eggs a week is average for the breed? Good luck; the only mention..."plenty of brown eggs." Plenty for who? A single person or a family of 4 or selling? If you know zero about chickens this is pretty to thumb through and thats about it.
