 stock image, actual book may vary A dramatic cutaway look into five of the world's architectural treasures -- featuring spectacular panoramic foldoutsExplore the architecture, design, history, and contents of five of the world's greatest buildings: a church St. Peter's Vatican, Rome , a castle Ludwig's Castle, Bavaria , a palace Buckingham Palace, London , a commercial building Paris Opera , and a residence Monticello, USA . At the turn of a page, their facades are lifted away to reveal stunningly splendid interiors. These magnificent buildings have simply never before been "opened up" in this way. Through the combination of visual elements -- photographs, drawings, cutaways, floor plans, expansive double gatefolds, lively text -- each building is rendered in what adds up to a unique personal portrait, with wonderful intricacy no camera could ever record. In one spectacular view of Buckingham Palace, we see all at once the salon where the Queen dubs knights, the dining room where world leaders toast on state occasions, the withdrawing rooms where ambassadors and citizens are received -- even the guard room where sentries stamp their feet back to warmth after a courtyard vigil. At the Paris Opera, the special artwork reveals the complete workings of the theater -- taking us through the lobby and the multi-tiered auditorium, the orchestra pit and stage, across the catwalks, flats, and flies where the nightly illusions are created. Complementing the visual feast are richly detailed captions and an authoritative text describing the people and events involved in creating each building, as well as anecdotes and other informational gems.

 stock image, actual book may vary 2001 celebrates the 5th anniversary of Skyscrapers . To commemorate the book's extraordinary longevity and success, a new paperback edition has been published. Thank you to my readers around the world.People often ask me how the skyscrapers in the book were chosen. In order to select representative structures from a plethora of worthy choices, I had to set ground rules for inclusion. The vagaries of financing and construction, magnified when dealing with buildings of supertall dimensions, led to the decision that only completed structures, or those under construction, were to be included in the book. Some extraordinary skyscrapers will be breaking through the clouds now through 2004, however, most were still a gleam in the architect's eye in 1995 when this book was written. I look forward to updating Skyscrapers in the next few years. Skyscrapers' magnificent, 18" high photographs are the work of a veritable who's who of architectural photography. I decided early on that classic black and white images, because they distill what is most essential, should be used to illustrate this iconic subject. The book is not about all skyscrapers--it is an adamant, quirky, joyful paean to a selected few. Black and white photographs best capture that exalted place between myth, memory, and reality occupied by only a handful of buildings.

 stock image, actual book may vary When E. L. Roberts Co. a Chicago-based wholesale manufacturer of architectural woodwork issued a catalog of its millwork products in 1903, the firm boasted that the publication included "more novel and useful features than any sash and door catalogue yet published," and that it was a book designed to satisfy "critical buyers who demand stylish and tasteful goods." This volume, reproduced directly from a rare turn-of-the-century Roberts catalog, displays a vast assortment of finely crafted products from window blinds, brackets, china closets, church fittings, doors, frames, gable finishes, linen closets, moldings, and office furniture to parquet floors, sashes, shingles, side boards, side lights, store fronts, wainscoting, and windows. Nearly 300 sharply defined line drawings and photographs also provide detailed close-ups of exquisitely carved rosettes, head blocks, grilles, arches, and other decorative accents. Included in these illustrations are superb views of late-Victorian interiors finished with ornately carved balusters and newel posts, paneled walls, exquisite filigree, lovely stained glass windows, and magnificent fireplace mantels. Here's a practical source of plans and ideas for architects, students of architectural history, carpentry enthusiasts, preservationists, restorationists, and anyone interested in the interior design and furnishings of a bygone era.

A celebrated historical novelist and advocate for reason and humanistic values, Lion Feuchtwanger's books were a frequent target of the 1933 Nazi book-burning campaigns. He escaped Europe in 1941 to start a new life in Southern California. The Feuchtwanger home in Pacific Palisades soon became a refuge and gathering place for migr artists and intellectuals during World War Two. Fifty years after Feuchtwanger's death, Against the Eternal Yesterday commemorated his artistic and humanitarian efforts. Along with this series of events, the USC Libraries-with support from the International Feuchtwanger Society-has published a collection of essays and personal reflections dedicated to the memory of his struggle against violence and unreaso

 stock image, actual book may vary Graphics for Architecture Kevin Forseth with David Vaughan A thorough understanding of design drawing enhances the designer's ability to reason out difficult graphic constructions and to select or create appropriate means for depicting buildings and environments. This fully illustrated guide presents the most effective methods for mechanically constructing architectural plans, elevations, sections, paralines, perspectives, and shadows. All methods are described in basic principles of perspective geometry. Throughout the volume many pictorial drawings illuminate the connection between step-by-step procedures for constructing design drawings and the abstract concepts underlying orthographic, oblique, and perspective projections. For formulating graphics work-book problems around paraline construction the guide includes a notation system for describing an unlimited range of paraline-oblique drawings. A shortcut method for casting shadows in plan and elevation is useful for modeling shadows in architectural site plans and for obtaining fast design results. In addition there are eight different step-by-step procedures for setting up and constructing one and two-point perspective. Common-method perspectives are presented in the context of a drafting-board surface, and perspectives without plan are discussed as interiors, exteriors, and sections. Combining carefully organized learning sequences with the quick reference qualities of a handbook, this volume is an excellent reference source for the architectural office or studio as well as an easy-to-follow manual for students.

 stock image, actual book may vary Telecommunications and the City provides the first critical and state-of-the-art review of the relations between telecommunications and all aspects of city development and management. Drawing on a range of theoretical approaches and a wide body of recent research, the book addresses key academic and policy debates about technological change and the future of cities with a fresh perspective. Through this approach, the complex and crucial transformations underway in cities in which telecommunications have central importance are mapped out and illustrated. Key areas where telecommunications impinge on the economic, social, physical, enviromental and institutional development of cities are illustrated by using boxed extracts and wide range of case study examples from Europe, Japan and North America. Rejecting the extremes of optimism and pessimism in current hype about cities and telecommunications, Telecommunications and the City offers a sophisticated new perspective through which city-telecommunications relations can be understood.
