Invisible Gardens: The Search for Modernism in the American Landscape

An in-depth exploration of landscape architecture during its defining era from 1925 to 1975, when the field began distinguishing itself from architecture and planning. During those years it encompassed a wide variety of approaches that nevertheless were united by a commitment to move beyond the historic traditions and past the unplanned sprawl of suburbia. Among the significant landscape architects profiled are Thomas Church, Roberto Burle Marx, Luis Barragan, Isamu Noguchi, and Lawrence Halprin. Includes color and b&amp;w photos.

Shaping the Humanitarian World (Global Institutions)

Daniel G. Maxwell

Foreign & International Law

Routledge

Providing a critical introduction to the notion of humanitarianism in global politics, tracing the concept from its origins to the twenty-first century, this book examines how the so called international community works in response to humanitarian crises and the systems that bind and divide them. By tracing the history on international humanitarian action from its early roots through the birth of the Red Cross to the beginning of the UN, Peter Walker and Daniel G. Maxwell examine the challenges humanitarian agencies face, from working alongside armies and terrorists to witnessing genocide. They argue that humanitarianism has a vital future, but only if those practicing it choose to make it so. Topics covered include: <ul><ul>
<li>the rise in humanitarian action as a political tool </li> <li>the growing call for accountability of agencies </li> <li>the switch of NGOs from bit players to major trans-national actors </li> <li>the conflict between political action and humanitarian action when it comes to addressing causes as well as symptoms of crisis. </li> </ul></ul>
This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in international human rights law, disaster management and international relations.

Excerpt from The Princeton Review, Vol. 14: April, 1842The second work upon the list is by a young German professor of our own day. In every thing but mental eul tivation, he and Calvin may be said to be antipodes. 'with out a tincture of religious feeling, without any faith what ever in the divine authority of scripture, without a belief even in the possibility of prophecy or miracle, but with an unlimited and undisguised ambition to discover something new at every step, it may be readily conceived that Dr. Tuch, with all his talent and learning, which are very considerable, has produced a work having no other points of resemblance to the one which we have just described, than such as a community of subject rendered wholly unavoid able. The good pointsof the work are to be looked for in its literary character exclusively. His mind is lively, per spicacious, and inventive, but exhibits the same absence of capacity to reason, in the strict sense of the term, which has now become so common a defect among the partisan writers of Germany, and which may be regarded as a natural re sult of the incessant straining after novelty, to which the best minds of that gifted race are now habitually trained. Again and again we have observed in Tuch's performance an elaborate detail of imaginary arguments, in favor of some monstrous paradox, succeeded by the statement of Oh jections, ivhich the common sense of every reader feels to be conclusive, but which the author summarily sweeps away by simply saying that they certainly have 110 weight. And we do not hesitate to say that this description is justly applicable to a large proportion of the pretended reasonings by which the truth of scripture is attempted to be over thrown. Whatever ingenuity may be expended in the statement of reasons, the conclusion almost always rests at last upon the feeling of the author, which is pretty sure to lean in one direction.

Big Pit (The National Coal Museum, Blaenafon) A Guide

Sharon Ford

National Museum Wales

Drawing mainly on Luke's account in Acts, as well as on Paul's own letters, Peter Walker reconstructs Paul's wide-ranging travels, detailing some of the most important sites of the early church. We begin in Damascus, then follow Paul on his first and second 'missionary journeys', then trace his final visit to Jerusalem and Caesarea, and eventually arrive in Rome. Each chapter focuses on a particular site and includes: an opening section telling Paul's story within that location; a list of key dates giving readers an overview of significant events associated with that place; and a final section exploring the location as a visitor might encounter it today. Readers are transported to the rugged 'Cilician Gates' of southern Turkey, the market places of Athens, Corinth and Ephesus, the bleak expanses of ancient Galatia, and the wintry, wind-swept shores of Malta.
