Questo poema senza nome d'autore e senza titolo, di datazione incerta (VII secolo?), è il più antico testo poetico lungo, scritto in un volgare europeo, l'unica epica compiuta delle letterature germaniche antiche, uno dei testi principali della letteratura anglosassone, poema dedicato a un tema mitico: il combattimento tra un uomo e un mostro. In poco più di tremila versi il poema racconta la strenua lotta di un giovane di nome Beowulf con un drago, intersecando elementi mitici, favolistici, leggende eroiche e fatti storici documentabili e datati.

The Eisenmanual is the first comprehensive presentation of writings by and about Peter Eisenman, arguably the most significant architect working today. Likely to remain the definitive work on the subject for some years to come, the book analyses the whole spectrum of subjects covered in this architect / philosopher's oeuvre. Seminal texts are included that show how his theories have developed over time and how his versatile theoretical approach is continually changing to keep abreast of contemporary thinking as well as anticipating future discoveries. Also included are writings contributed by other contemporary philosophers including, Jacques Derrida, Mark Taylor, John Rajchman, Greg Lynn, Jeff Kipnis, Sanford Kwinter and the architectural historians Michael Hayes and Anthony Vidler who provide an in-depth academic analysis of the theories of this architect and thinker. In addition, two recent interviews with the architect conducted by Robert Somol and Andrew Benjamin are featured, as well as two extensive bibliographies. The volume is completed by six of his major projects including Banyoles; Rebstockpark, Frankfurt; DAAP, Cincinnati and Columbus Convention Centre. Through the interviews and writing featured here it is clear that Eisenman is conducting a methodical, almost scientific investigation into architectural thinking, the subject which he has chosen to examine to the limits and beyond. The first comprehensive presentation of writings by and about Peter Eisenman. Arguably the most influential architect / philosopher working today. Includes analyses by major contemporary philosophers and architectural historians. Features two recent interviews conducted by Robert Somol and Andrew Benjamin

One of Latin America's foremost designers, Miguel Angel Roca is not only an architect, but also a painter, a writer and a professor. An Argentinian by birth, Roca studied at Cordoba University and with Louis Kahn. Although his methodology and design techniques differ from those of his master, Roca, like Kahn, embraced Modernism without subsequently rejecting it. A multitude of projects has come from his studio - residential blocks, community centres, low-rise housing developments, office blocks, shopping arcades, banks and churches - ranging from the urban sprawl of Buenos Aires to towns in outlying provinces. This monograph contains contributions by leading contemporaries of Roca and follows Roca's most recent and new projects in various Latin Americna countries.

This is the first of four volumes of sketchbooks, kept by Quinlan Terry throughout his career to record the buildings he has encountered. He records their form and detail where noteworthy as source material. This series of sketchbooks covers the anonymous everyday architecture, frequently Georgian. Terry's travels in Italy will be represented in further volumes of a similar format delaying with Rome (Vol II) and Venice (Vol III). Volume IV will include other Italian studies as well as those from his 1993 visit to India.
