g[x_] := (Abs[#1^3/(1 + #1)] & )[E^x];
Block[{$DisplayFunction = Identity},
p1 = Plot3D[g[R + I*t], {R, -(1/2), 1}, {t, 0, 2*Pi},
ViewPoint -> {-1.3, 1, 1}, Mesh -> False, PlotPoints -> 64,
Ticks -> {Automatic, Table[(k*Pi)/2, {k, 0, 4}], Automatic},
PlotRange -> {0, 12}];
p2 = ParametricPlot3D[{r, Pi, g[r + I*Pi]}, {r, -(1/2), 1}];

Show[p1, p2];
Should give a first impression where your function has its maximum magnitude.
