Small Scale, Big Change focuses on designing and building in underserved communities around the globe. Rooted in the traditions of early Modernism, the work of the architects shown in this book expresses a desire for social change and a belief in the social responsibility of architecture. The projects - often schools, parks, housing projects and infrastructural interventions - are typically the result of close collaboration with members of the community and future users. They are located in impoverished urban and rural communities and reveal an exciting change in the longstanding dialogue between architecture and ethics, wherein the architect's roles, methods, approaches and responsibilities are all dramatically reconsidered. These architects address community needs with innovative, low-budget and adaptable designs without sacrificing aesthetics. In these works, one also sees an expanded definition of sustainability encompassing larger social and economic issues. The architects fea...

Pocos personajes de la literatura son más reconocidos universalmente que Sherlock Holmes, el detective surgido de la imaginación de Arthur Conan Doyle. Cautivados por sus poderes de observación y deducción, muchos lectores pasan por alto el uso que Holmes hacía de la ciencia para resolver sus casos. Remediar semejante limitación, al mismo tiempo que introduce a los lectores en los fundamentos científicos de las técnicas forenses, es el propósito de este libro. Así, y tras introducir a los principales personajes del mundo de Holmes ? Watson y Moriarty, en especial ?, James F. O?Brien, un distinguido químico, desentraña los conocimientos científicos de Holmes, especialmente los químicos, materia en la que sobresalió. Analiza, por ejemplo, venenos como el monóxido de carbono, cloroformo y ácido prúsico (el nombre histórico del ácido cianhídrico), y muestra que Sherlock Holmes fue un pionero de la ciencia forense, utilizando las huellas dactilares mucho antes de que Scotland Yard adoptase ...

Making Van Gogh nimmt das Œuvre Vincent van Goghs im Kontext seiner Rezeption in den Blick. Der Band thematisiert die besondere Rolle, die deutsche Galeristen, Sammler, Kritiker und Museen für seine Erfolgsgeschichte spielten. Zugleich wird auch die Bedeutung van Goghs als Vorbild für die Kunst des Expressionismus beleuchtet. "Van Gogh ist tot, aber die van Gogh-Leute leben. Und wie leben sie! Überall van Goghelt's", formulierte Ferdinand Avenarius 1910 in der Zeitschrift Der Kunstwart. Vincent van Goghs Malerei übte Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts eine besondere Faszination vor allem auf junge Künstler in Deutschland aus. Bereits knapp fünfzehn Jahre nach seinem Tod wurde der Niederländer als einer der bedeutendsten Vorreiter der modernen Malerei wahrgenommen. Eine Auswahl von Schlüsselwerken aus allen Schaffensphasen des Malers trifft auf Arbeiten von Max Beckmann, Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Gabriele Münter, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff u. a. ...

FROM THE BESTSELLING WRITER OF REBECCA The House on the Strand is prime du Maurier. . . . She holds her characters close to reality; the past she creates is valid, and her skill in finessing the time shifts is enough to make one want to try a little of the brew himself - New York Times When Dick Young's friend, Professor Magnus Lane, offers him an escape from his troubles in the form of a new drug, Dick finds himself transported to fourteenth-century Cornwall. There, in the manor of Tywardreath, the domain of Sir Henry Champerhoune, he witnesses intrigue, adultery and murder. The more time Dick spends consumed in the past, the more he withdraws from the modern world.

Twenty years ago, in a series of mysterious, incandescent writings, David Seabrook told of the places he knew best: the declining resort towns of the Kent coast. The pieces were no advert for the local tourist board. Here, the ghosts of murderers and mad artists crawl the streets. Septuagenarian rent boys recall the good old days and Carry On stars go to seed. Clandestine fascist networks emerge. And all the time, there is Seabrook himself - desperate perhaps, and in danger. Dark, strange and immediate, this is a classic work of sui generis British literature. There are devils here, and the reader will remember them. Product details Format Paperback | 192 pages ...

A chain and a collar can restrain a man, but the innocence of an angel breaks the devil. Once upon a time, there was a nobleman and Nyx was his name. He was respectful, principled, and handsome. The young man owned several ships and managed his late-father's fishing business.

for soprano and baritone soloists, SATB, and full orchestra or string orchestra with piano Drawing upon the Bible, sections from the Mass, and poems by Walt Whitman, this is a powerful musical evocation of the destruction and death brought about through war and violence, with an overarching message of peace and reconciliation. It was composed in 1936, a time when war was threatening to engulf Europe once again, and the title, which translates as 'Give us peace', is as relevant now as it was when the work was premiered in 1936. Featuring some of the composer's most potent music (both serene and violent), it makes an affecting plea. Materials for the full orchestra version and an accompaniment for strings and piano are available on hire. Product details Format Sheet music ...

The main sources for an understanding of classical Hindu law are the Sanskrit treatises on religious and legal duties, known as the Dharmaśāstras. In this collection of his major studies in the field, Ludo Rocher presents analytical and interpretive essays on a wide range of topics, from general themes such as the nature of Hindu law and Anglo-Hindu law to technical matters including word studies and text criticism. Rocher's deep engagement with the language and worldview of the authors in the Dharmaśāstra tradition yields distinctive and corrective contributions to the field, which are informed by knowledge both of the Indian grammatical tradition and of Roman and civil law. Davis's introduction presents an interpretative account of Rocher's many contributions to the field, organized around the themes that recur in his work, and examines his key advances, both methodological and substantive. Comparisons and contrasts between Rocher's ideas and those of his Indologic...
