This kind of a structure is completely unsuitable if you are not using it as a gate or a way to arrive to a largerĪrea. In ancient times numerous columns had been used to obtain large spaces as in this temple. The part that Unwin was mentioning to the Temple of Ammon at Karnak was really striking. Throughout the history there have been great samples of all three categories. This legitimates the tree categories figured out by Simon Unwin “the dominant structural order, the dominant spatial order and the harmonic relationship between the two”. The close relation between structure and surface cannot be underestimated in the world of architecture, even if there are examples of the buildings which give more prominence to one of them rather than the other.

6/10/2023 0 Comments Finding Chika by Mitch AlbomInstead, Chika became a permanent part of their lives, as they embarked on a two-year, around-the-world journey to find a cure. Mitch and Janine took Chika to America, hoping that treatment there would enable her to go back home. But at age five, Chika was suddenly diagnosed with a terminal disease that no doctor in Haiti could help with. Brave and self-assured, even as a three-year-old, she delighted the other kids and teachers. She spent her infancy in extreme poverty, and when her mother died giving birth to a baby brother, Chika was brought to the Have Faith Haiti Orphanage that Mitch and his wife, Janine operate.Ĭhika's arrival made a quick impression.

To solve that problem, engineers installed electrified barriers in the Chicago River to keep carp from the Mississippi watershed away from Lake Michigan. But it also, through the Chicago River, connected two previously separated watersheds-the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes-allowing species to move from one to the other.Īs a result, watershed managers have been working tirelessly to keep invasive species out of the Great Lakes, including Asian carp, which could quickly proliferate and devastate ecosystems in all five Great Lakes. The river’s redirection was a victory for public health. More than a century ago, engineers reversed the flow of the polluted river away from Lake Michigan, which provided Chicago’s drinking water, diverting it instead into the Mississippi River watershed. In “Under a White Sky,” Kolbert begins with the Chicago River. 6/10/2023 0 Comments Luxury lost its lusterDeluxe is an uncompromising look behind the glossy façade that will enthrall anyone interested in fashion, finance, or culture. Award-winning journalist Dana Thomas digs deep into the dark side of the luxury industry to uncover all the secrets that Prada, Gucci, and Burberry don't want us to know. Today, however, luxury is simply a product packaged and sold by multibillion-dollar global corporations focused on growth, visibility, brand awareness, advertising, and, above all, profits. It offered a history of tradition, superior quality, and a pampered buying experience. Once luxury was available only to the rarefied and aristocratic world of old money and royalty. “With Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster, Thomas-who has been the cultural and fashion writer for Newsweek in Paris for 12 years-has written a crisp, witty social history that’s as entertaining as it is informative.” - New York Timesįrom the author of Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes Hardcover 94.44 2 Used from 12.56 3 New from 45.76 With Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster, Dana Thomaswho has been the cultural and fashion writer for Newsweek in Paris for 12 yearshas written a crisp, witty social history that’s as entertaining as it is informative. 6/8/2023 0 Comments Under sea under stoneShe presents the atmosphere of the town very clearly. Like the later books, this one draws heavily from the tales of Arthur, but begins as a mystery instead of a fantasy adventure.Ĭooper gives us three children who arrive with their parents at a little fishing village in Cornwall. The other four books in the series, written several years later, all portray magic in spades. It’s the magic that remains hidden in this book. Oh, it is easily seen to be our world with the village of Trewissick in Cornwall, a village based on Mevagissey where Cooper spent many holidays. However, that isn’t clear at all in this book. Lewis studied evil from another world in the multiverse, a world of talking beasts where Christ had the form of a lion.Īs for Cooper, she writes in our world-with magic. Tolkein wrote of an earlier earth, one in the middle of time, so far back that we have no records of the dwarves, elves, and hobbits that lived with men. Maybe there’s something in the water over the pond, but Tolkein, Lewis, and Cooper all present complex studies of the war between good and evil. More importantly, the series is an intricate study of good and evil. They were full of adventure, surprise, and plot twists. I read these books many times beginning in junior high. Susan Cooper’s DARK IS RISING series is no exception. Finding copies of books you loved long ago is like reconnecting with an old friend. 6/8/2023 0 Comments We were liars authorLockhart.Īnd if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.
