In light of environmental challenges architecture is facing, wood is no longer regarded as outmoded, nostalgic, and rooted in the past, but increasingly recognized as one of the most promising building materials for the future. Recent years have seen unprecedented innovation of new technologies for advancing wood architecture.

Advancing Wood Architecture offers a comprehensive overview of the new architectural possibilities that are enabled by cutting-edge computational technologies in wood construction. It provides both an overarching architectural understanding and...

FLORA IN HER KITCHEN contains over 100 recipes as prepared by Flora Chiarello Menges of Albany, NY. Born in 1913 to an Italian immigrant family, and married for over forty years to Theodore Menges, of German-American background, Flora prepared both the old-country Italian dishes of her mother, Lucia Longo Chiarello, and the German-American recipes such as sauerbraten and apfelkuchen, beloved by her husband. This is basic home cooking--no fusion cuisine here--as practiced by a woman who has been an inspiration to her many nieces and cousins.

This book will allow naturalists, nature stewards, and graduate students to appreciate and comprehend basic statistical concepts as a bridge to more complex themes relevant to their daily work. Although there are excellent sources on more specialized analytical topics relevant to naturalists, this introductory book makes a connection with the experience and needs of field practitioners. It uses aspects of the natural history of the Florida scrub relevant for conservation and management as examples of analytical issues pertinent to the naturalist in a broader context. Each chapter identifies...

Die im Auftrag der Internationalen Herder-Gesellschaft herausgegebenen Herder-Jahrbücher erscheinen alle zwei Jahre und dienen der Diskussion neuer Einsichten in Herders Sprach-, Natur- und Geschichtsphilosophie, Anthropologie, Theologie und Ästhetik sowie ihres historischen Kontextes. Die Beiträge des Jahrbuchs 2002 widmen sich - u.a. mit Beiträgen von Günter Arnold, Ulrich Gaier und Gerhard Sauder - neben biographischen Aspekten (mit neuen Brieffunden) Fragen von Herders Poetik und ihrer Rezeption auch Gerstenbergs Drama "Ugolino". Den Abschluss bildet die Herder-Bibliographie für die...

Emergence - the process by which new and coherent structures, patterns and properties 'emerge' from within complex systems

Traditional architecture starts from the premise that architectural structures are singular and fixed, and however well integrated are separate from their environment and context. Emergence requires that the opposite is true - that those structures are complex energy and material systems that have a lifespan, exist as part of an environment of other active systems, and develop in an evolutionary way.
