Different concepts of the machine are pursued in essays on Fritz Lang's Metropolis, Alfred Jarry's pataphysical machines, and cosmological and political orders in sixteenth-century utopias. Cross-cultural tensions are examined in essays on the Christian appropriation of Aztec symbolism, and on Jesuit perspectives in an imperial Chinese garden in Beijing. Architectural origins and education are revisited in essays on fire and language in Vitruvius, on storytelling by Spanish theorist Juan Caramuel de Lobkowitz, and on the role of history in the design of the Prato della Valle, a public square in Padua. Phenomenal experience is the focus of essays on light and stone in the Gothic church of Saint-Denis, and on bodily movement through the ancient Palace of Minos at Knossos in Crete. Tensions in architectural representation are investigated in essays on the influence of Villard de Honnecourt on drawings by William Burges in Victorian England, and on Stendhal's curious narrativ...

Camillo Sittes Arbeit, erstmals 1889 in Wien publiziert, veranderte die Stadtplanung in vieler Hinsicht. Der Autor prasentierte sie nicht nur als Manifest, das Kontroversen ausloeste; sie war daruber hinaus seit Albertis Schrift ("De re aedificatoria") das erste Buch, das die kunstlerischen Aspekte des Stadtebaus systematisch darstellte. Heute macht der Blick auf die Geschichte fruherer stadtebaulicher Leistungen und Projekte das ganze Ausmass des Verlusts sichtbar und spurbar, das Krieg und Nachkriegsstadtplanung bewirkt haben. Der romantisierende Blick, der schon Sitte eigen war, kann der gegenwartigen Stadtplanung vielleicht hilfreich sein. Product details Format Paperback | 226 pages ...

The "wonderful first novel about life, love, and lobster fishing" (USA Today) from the #1 bestselling author of Eat Pray Love, Big Magic and City of Girls Off the coast of Maine, Ruth Thomas is born into a feud fought for generations by two groups of local lobstermen over fishing rights for the waters that lie between their respective islands. At eighteen, she has returned from boarding school-smart as a whip, feisty, and irredeemably unromantic-determined to throw over her education and join the "stern men"working the lobster boats. Gilbert utterly captures the American spirit through an unforgettable heroine who is destined for greatness-and love-despite herself in this the critically acclaimed debut.

The essays collected here illustrate the exciting new historical research being done by scholars at the beginning of their careers. The authors employ a variety of methodologies to answer questions and recover histories ranging from medieval European political iconography to communist women in Suharto's Indonesia. Three important themes run through the breadth and diversity of the essays: race, gender, and politics. The contributors use these familiar themes to create new lines of historical inquiry. Disparate in topic and approach, the essays demonstrate the ways in which race, gender, and politics as analytical categories continue to provide new, critical revisions to received interpretations, particularly of politics. Further, they underscore the need to interrogate the transnational and global nature of historical developments we once understood as purely local or national. Finally, the essays illustrate the importance of both macro- and micro-studies to understanding global hi...

This manual is specifically designed for therapists, counsellors and other helping professionals who are looking to add life coaching techniques to their portfolio of skills. Dave Ellis, author of Falling Awake, has produced a step-by-step practical guide to turning your natural people-helping skills into a profitable life coaching business. Life coaching is not therapy but many of the qualities that therapists possess, and the techniques they use, naturally lend themselves to a life coaching approach. Because Ellis advocates a more directive approach than most authors of life coaching books, this book will naturally appeal to therapists and counsellors used to conducting therapeutic interventions. Life coaching is a fast growing profession and many think it will replace therapy as the primary intervention to get people to live more positive, happy and goal-oriented lives. Contents include: The coaching continuum Creating and using a life coaching agreement Using the six types of con...

The impact that the lack of investment in water infrastructure will have on the performance of aging underground infrastructure over time is well documented and the needed funding estimates range as high as $325 billion over the next 20 years. With the current annual replacement rate averaging 0.5%, pipes would be expected to last for 200 years, but most pipes are designed for 50 or 100 year life cycles. While this replacement rate may be sufficient in the immediate term because pipes are still relatively young, as systems grow older, the necessary replacement rates will inevitably increase. In addition to the necessary funding, congestion above and below ground is making the replacement of water mains more difficult for utility owners as is the lack of public tolerance for the disruption caused by construction work. There is an increasing availability of technologies for rehabilitation of existing pipes, which provides solutions that minimize or alleviate these problems, while providi...

Walter Murch first came across Curzio Malaparte's writings in a chance encounter in a French book about cosmology, where one of Malaparte's stories was retold to illustrate a point about conditions shortly after the creation of the universe. Murch was so taken by the strange, utterly captivating imagery he went to find the book from which the story was taken. The book was Kaputt, Malaparte's autobiographical novel about the frontlines of World War II. Curzio Malaparte, an Italian born with a German heritage, was a journalist, dramatic, novelist and diplomat. When he wrote a book attacking totalitarianism and Hitler's reign, Mussolini, in no position to support such a body of work, stripped him of his National Fascist Party membership and sent him to internal exile on the island of Lipari. In 1941, he was sent to cover the Eastern Front as a correspondent for Corriere della Sera, the Milano daily newspaper. His dispatches from the next three years would be largely sup...
