Trade Paperback. Etat : Used - Very Good. 'This innocent-looking tome.should be a little gem of enlightenment to every thinking member of our profession.' -- Patrick Hannay, 'The Architects Journal' To speak comprehensively about a building today requires that we think about the building in three different ways - as an instance of architectural order, as an embodiment of values about living, and as an instrument for bringing about results. With this insight, Bill Hubbard offers architects a useful new way of thinking about the work they do. He looks at all of the groups with an interest in a work of architecture - owners, inhabitants, customers, community groups, critics and historians, architecture schools -- and presents a conceptual framework in which those disparate interests are not just given a place but are honored for providing different perspectives on the building.…

Hardcover. Etat : Used - Very Good. with photographs by Nigel Hicks China is a country of incredible diversity. Its widely varied habitats support a wealth of animals, birds, and plants that make this country biologically one of the richest on our planet. Illustrated with over 400 superb color photographs, Wild China surveys these treasures. It explores reserves where the elusive Giant Panda is now protected, alpine meadows that are a botanist's wonderland of floral species, wetlands that are home to a million birds, turtle islands, and tigers' stalking grounds. Following a scene-setting introduction, chapters focus on each of the country's major ecological regions in turn, from the peaks of Qomolangma (Mount Everest) to the world's second-lowest point in the Turpan Basin, from tropical rain forests in the south to the permafrost of Manchuria and the cold dry desert of the northwest, from vast grasslands and alpine meadows to the teeming yellow waters of the Yangtze River. A human population of over one billion people has put enormous pressure on this natural wealth. The need for economic development is balanced, however, by the Chinese people's long-standing love and appreciation of natural beauty. China has already established over 500 nature reserves, including some of the largest in the world, and these are highlighted in Wild China. Open copy with mild scuffing along edges, wrapped in Brodart protector, clean pages/interiors.…

''Building the Nineteenth Century' is an interesting, broadly constructed history of engineering and technological developments in the nineteenth century, which brings to light new material on some relatively unexplored and little discussed areas of technological development.' -- Harry F. Mallgrave, Ph.D., The Getty Center for the History of Art and the Humanities 'There are few histories of technology and a great many of architecture. Is there a culture of construction? To answer this question, Tom Peters crosses the traditional boundaries between civil engineering and architecture to look at how builders' thought processes influenced construction and particularly how construction thinking changed in the last century. Engineering projects discussed include the first Thames tunnel project, the Mont Cenis Tunnel, the Conway and Britannia bridges, and the Suez and Panama Canals. 178 illustrations. wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.
