Bertram Goodhue was the undisputed eclectic synthesist of his generation in America. His wide repertory included elements from Gothic, Spanish, and Classical styles to create such landmark buildings as St. Thomas's church in New York, the National Academy of Science in Washington, and the Nebraska State Capitol which Henry-Russell Hitchcock called "the most innovative state capitol built in the twentieth century." Goodhue's Church of St. Bartholomew in New York and his Central Library in Los Angeles are currently the focus of heated preservation debates. This book goes beyond the stock characterizations of Goodhue as a derivative architect or protomodernist. It shows Goodhue as a talented exemplar of the free eclectism of the late nineteenth century, an innovator who freshly interpreted traditional forms. The author discusses Goodhue's early career during which he displayed a remarkable skill in draftsmanship and decorative design, as well as his later search for new directions after the impact of Scott's Liverpool Cathedral stimulated him to reevaluate the function of tradition in contemporary practice. The author is a registered architect who practices out of his own firm, Richard Oliver Architects, in New York. He has taught at Columbia University, was Curator of Architecture and Design at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum for several years, and is the author of two previous books, Architectural Drawing and America's Grand Resort Hotels. This is included in the Architectural History Foundation's American Monograph Series.

This text seeks to unscramble the current media revolution. After describing the background to the extraordinary convergence of media, and discussing the pioneers of the new media arts and technologies, the authors examine the main building blocks of hypermedia: words; images; sounds; and movement through space and time. With a range of international examples, the authors examine the many applications of hypermedia, illustrating the kinds of interactive products that are being developed in various fields. They provide an outline of hypermedia production to help the reader understand how programmes are planned and produced and go on to a survey of the main hardware available, together with a glossary of terms.

When a beloved dog passes, it leaves behind a hole in its family's life that's impossible to fill. I've written this book by drawing on my own experiences of the heart wrenching emotions that follow the death of a dog. I've lost four dogs, and grieved for each one. I still grieve for each one, but in a different way now - in a happier way, a way that brings back fond memories that make me smile and not cry. I hope this book will help you get closer to that place too, a place where you can look back on the time you spent with your dog and laugh, not cry. I've covered a few topics in this book, including; What is grief? Dealing with guilt Understanding other people's reactions to the death of your dog Laying your dog to rest Coming to terms with the loss of your dog How to speak to children about the loss Memorialising your dog I hope this book can help you along the path in recovering after the death of your friend.

This book performs with great thoroughness all the usual functions of a guidebook. But it is much more than a mere inventory of buildings, paintings, sculpture, routes and views, supplemented by appendices packed with practical information. The authors - from their long experience and deep knowledge of the country - are exceptionally well-equipped to draw together into a coherent whole all the threads of history, art, culture and recent developments. They steer you in most rewarding directions, enlivening the hallowed hush of museum or sacristy with an original interpretation of some great painter - El Greco, Goya, Picasso - or an observation which suddenly illuminates the seemingly unexceptional. Madrid, rather than just a political capital at the geographical centre of the country, is revealed as a true metropolis, genuinely representative of all the aspects and regional variations of Spanish life. Its art collections are justly renowned as superb. Add in the cluster of historical cities at an easy distance (including Segovia, Avila and Toledo), to say nothing of the lesser-known treasures and delights secreted in the heartlands of Castile, and you have, within a manageable compass, the core of Spanish civilisation.
