"A qualitative approach to diversity and density in housing A concept that unites architectural and urban design A wide range of original drawings of benchmark case studies Diversity and density in housing today Accomodation of diversity and the creation of urban density are a focus of world-wide building and planning activities today. This book combines the architectural and urban scales to demonstrate that it is a specific quality, urban intensity, which determines the success of housing. The authors provide a typology of housing according to the ways in which diversity and density are created. Comparisons with historical models and critical appraisals based on the authors' unique standing give ample information on the pros and cons of major types of housing, their pitfalls and successful examples. Newly created sets of drawings, from floor plans to spectacular 3D aerial views of the buildings in their urban contexts, accompany each of the more than twenty case studies that are described and analyzed in detail. The approach taken here relates to many pressing issues in contemporary housing, including the avoidance of urban sprawl, the revival of city centers and the ongoing search for innovative housing types" - CONTENTS: Urban block shapers -- Housing and landscapes -- Superblock configurations -- Tall towers -- Big buildings -- Infrastructural engagements -- Indigenous reinterpretations -- Infill and puntal interventions -- Housing special populations -- A turning point.

ABOUT THE BOOK Published in 1937 by Dover Publications in New York. First edition thus, first printing. In original red cloth boards with black and gold decoration and gilt lettering. Octavo, xxi, 593 pp. With its original dust jacket. Men of Mathematics: The Lives and Achievements of the Great Mathematicians from Zeno to Poincar is a book on the history of mathematics published in 1937 by Scottish-born American mathematician and science fiction writer E. T. Bell (1883 1960). After a brief chapter on three ancient mathematicians, it covers the lives of about forty mathematicians who flourished in the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries. The book is illustrated by mathematical discussions, with emphasis on mainstream mathematics. To keep the interest of readers, the book typically focuses on unusual or dramatic aspects of its subjects' lives. Men of Mathematics has inspired many young people, including John Forbes Nash Jr., Julia Robinson, and Freeman Dyson, to become mathematicians. Theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson called his encounter with the book one of the decisive moments in his early career path, noting its ability to present famous mathematicians not as saints, but as flawed individuals of mixed qualities who nevertheless accomplished great mathematics. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Eric Temple Bell (February 1883 December 1960) was a Scottish-born mathematician, educator and science fiction writer who lived in the United States for most of his life. He published non-fiction using his given name and fiction as John Taine. Bell was part of the faculty first at the University of Washington and later at the California Institute of Technology. While at the University of Washington, he taught Howard P. Robertson and encouraged him to enroll at Caltech for his doctoral studies. Bell researched number theory; see in particular Bell series. He is the eponym of the Bell polynomials and the Bell numbers of combinatorics. In 1924 Bell was awarded the B cher Memorial Prize for his work in mathematical analysis. In 1927, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1937. He also wrote several science fiction novels by the pseudonym John Taine, which independently invented some of the earliest devices and ideas of science fiction. Bell wrote a book of biographical essays...

[First Edition] The Irish Rebellion of 1641 Sir John Temple [Used - Very good] [Hardcover]
2235.18 CAD
A significant publication that created an immediate and great sensation. Modern historians generally regard it as propaganda than a true historical accounting. At the time, though, the statements of Sir John Temple were received with unquestioning confidence, as the work of a professed eye-witness who could speak with authority, and did much to inflame popular indignation in Britain against the Irish with his account of atrocities committed against Protestant subjects in Ireland. The work was highly influential and divisive. Temple's Irish Rebellion was often praised by authors hostile to Roman Catholicism, including John Milton and Voltaire. The Irish were so incensed against the book that one of the first resolutions of the Patriot Parliament of 1689 was to order it to be burnt by the common hangman. Condition: Very Good. Complete. BOOK INFO Full Title: The Irish rebellion: or, An history of the beginnings and first progresse of the general rebellion raised within the kingdom of Ireland, upon the three and twentieth day of October, in the year, 1641.

Collated and complete: [xvi] 136, 55 pp., [1] blank.Title in double rule box; woodcut head- and tail-pieces and decorated initials. CONDITION REPORT The book is in VERY GOOD condition.

Interior: Grubby first few pages. Light toning, waviness to pages. Leaf 95-96 with a rust hole affecting a few letters of text. Clean overall with light signs of handling - some creasing, thumbing or odd smudge or spot. ABOUT THE IRISH REBELLION The Irish Rebellion of 1641 began on October 23, 1641. Initiated by Catholic gentry and military officers, demands included an end to religious discrimination, greater Irish self-governance, and return of confiscated Catholic lands. Planned as a swift coup d'état to gain control of the Protestant-dominated central government, instead it led to the 1641?1653 Irish Confederate Wars, part of the wider Wars of the Three Kingdoms.For the next ten years, the Confederacy fought a four-sided war against Irish Royalists, Scottish Covenanters and English Parliamentarians. After a pause due to the English Civil War, the rebelswere finally defeated by the English Parliament's New Model Army from 1649 through to 1653 and land ownership in Ireland passed largely to Protestant settlers. .
