Food Provisions for Ancient Rome (Studies in Roman Space and Urbanism)

The subject of the book is the food supply to Ancient Rome during the period from the early to the middle Empire when the city was at the peak of its power and population. The subject matter delves into the wider supply of goods, such as wood and building products, to add further perspective to the breadth of the system managed by the Roman administration to ensure supply and political stability. The inclusion of losses as the products travelled to Rome from various points around the Mediterranean proves to be a critical differentiator between this and other studies. For example, it was likely that the wastage in the grain supply as it moved from the farmlands in North Africa and Egypt to Rome were as high as 55 per cent due to the extraordinary complexity of the systems in place. Such losses had a significant impact on the infrastructure and systems required to manage the flow of goods that was made more complex by the long transfer times. A product flow map is developed from the source of supply to the end consumer detailing the labour, equipment and infrastructure required at each stage and painting a graphic picture of just what an achievement it was for the administration to have maintained such a complex system over this long time period.

The "Longman Building Studies Series" aims to provide detailed and comprehensive surveys of individual building types categorized by function. Examples of the very best contemporary building practice are included providing a yardstick of excellence for its readers. These books are aimed at all practising architects, client bodies, planning autorities and facilities managers. This text provides a survey of all aspects of hospitals as buildings, drawing on a range of international case studies of outstanding hospital projcts, all selected for their architectural and functional excellence. Amongst the types of hospitals considered are specialist/teaching hospitals, regional general hospitals and district general hospitals. The book looks at the quality of the facilities provided for both patients and staff and poses the question "can hospitals be architecture?" The reader is challenged to evaluate the aesthetics of utilitarian buildings. This survey, which takes into account changes in medicine, health care organization and construction and architecture techniques provides case studies from 13 countries of hospitals built in the period 1980-1990. The book is suitable for those following degree and diploma courses in architecture; postgraduate diploma and masters degree courese in health service planning and facilities planning; and for professional architects.
