Leuven University Press Forest Urbanisms
Book SynopsisHow forest urbanism can address the contemporary socio-ecological crisisA radical redefinition of how humanity occupies the earth through forests, agriculture, and settlement and rearticulates environmental stewardship by intertwining ecologies and urbanisms, this publication brings together essays by scholars in forestry, urbanism and other disciplines, designers, practitioners and policy makers. It explores the multifaceted notion of forest urbanisms, including a conceptual framing essay; contributions from the sciences such as bioscience engineering, architecture, urbanism and public policy; contemporary forest urbanism projects and explorative essays that make tangible an agenda for the 21st century. With descriptions of both built and non-built projects from around the globe, the essays show how such projects substantiate a radical shift in humankind's occupation of the world, where ecologies and urbanisms converge and agriculture, forests, and settlements are integrated.Forest Urbanisms extends growing research on a new natureculture relationship, the necessity for trees in cities, and a rebalancing of ecology and urbanism.Contributing authors: Chiara Cavalieri (UC Louvain), Cecil Koninendijk (Nature Based Solutions Institute), Rik De Vreese (European Forest Institute), Bart Muys (KU Leuven), Colleen Murphy-Dunning (Yale University), Bureau Bas Smets, Kongjian Yu (Turenscape), Wim Wambecq and Joris Moonen (MIDI), Embyá Paisagens & Ecossistemas, EFFEKT, TCL, aldayjover architecture and landscape, Björn Bracke (KU Leuven / Kollektif Landscape), Koenraad Danneels (KU Leuven), Marlène Boura (Biotope Environnement, Région de Bruxelles-Capitale), Swagata Das (KU Leuven), Kamni Gill (University of Manitoba), Alejandra Parra-Ortiz (University of Montreal), Gina Serrano-Aragundi (EPA Barranquilla Verde), Jörg Rekittke (University College Dublin), Takako Tajima (University of Southern California), Jamie Vanucchi (Cornell University), Maria Goula (Cornell University)Ebook available in Open Access.

Amsterdam University Press Antipodean Early Modern: European Art in
Book SynopsisA Prayer Book owned by the Rothschilds, an Italian bronze casket by Antico, a lavishly illustrated Carnival chronicle from sixteenth-century Germany, an altarpiece by Pieter Brueghel the Younger - much of the artwork in this book, held by Australian collections, is essentially unknown beyond the continent. The authors of these essays showcase these extraordinary objects to their full potential, revealing a wide range of contemporary art and historical research. This collection of essays will surprise even specialists.Trade Review"This generously illustrated and striking collection of essays will be of particular interest to those who specialize in medieval and Renaissance illustrated books as well as histories of collecting early modern objects beyond Europe." - Andrea Bubenik, Renaissance Quarterly, Volume 72, Issue 4, January 2020 "The recently appointed Herald Chair of Fine Arts at Melbourne, Anne Dunlop, has brought together a fine compendium of papers published to great effect by Amsterdam University Press [...] Antipodean Early Modern, even though it is composed of a series of 15 conference papers presented in academic style with their abstracts, is eminently readable by amateur and specialist alike. The quality of the generous selection of reproduced art is superb, with those gorgeous lapis blues, attention to minutiae and the sheer beauty of the written word a true joy to behold." - Brett Allen-Bayes, Limelight, Australia's Classical Music and Arts Magazine (2019). "Antipodean Early Modern focuses on underpublished works of art, as well as celebrated ones, giving them greater exposure to scholars and museum-goers. The variety of methodologies, aims and results points to the richness of interpretation inspired by the collections under consideration." - Elizabeth J. Moodey, Vanderbilt University "The innovation here is two-fold: bringing together a range of important manuscripts and artworks in Australian collections to an international audience to invite more scholarly attention and providing a wealth of current scholarly insights on these works. = A timely, illuminating collection of essays, which combines readability and rigour for scholarly audiences as well as students." - Erin Griffey, University of AucklandTable of ContentsContributors List of Figures Acknowledgments 1.Anne Dunlop, Legacies of early European art in Australian collections 2.Kay Sutton, Heaven and earth: the worlds of the Rothschild Prayer Book 3.Kate Challis, The Rothschild Prayer Book as political, social, and economic agent through the ages 4.Dagmar Eichberger, ‘Women who read are dangerous’: illuminated manuscripts and female book collections in the early Renaissance 5.Libby Melzer, Medieval parchment: two Glossed Bible books in context 6.Margaret M.

APE The Situation As It Is
Book SynopsisAnd then, as if out of nowhere, everything built be-came HERITAGE. The regulation would be confirmed in writing shortly, but on the telephone the office clerk left no room for doubt. Every brick, every beam and pipe, every tile, faucet and roofline had to be preserved. THE SITUATION AS IT IS, WILL BE THE SITUATION AS IT IS. The administration chose a new approach: a radical shift from ambiguousat times obscuredecisions, procedures and decrees to an era of HYPER-REGULATION. Startled, THE ARCHITECT hung up. He looked at the list of construction sites he planned on visiting that day, grabbed his car keys and camera, and left. He wondered if, later on, his wife and kids would still be in the living room where he heard them playing now. THE SITUATION AS IT IS** is the story of an architect's ring binders, an archive filled with negatives and scattered subjects. THE PHOTOGRAPHS try to tell a story of an existing condition*: this is the state things are in. Within these binders buildings are perpetually unfinished. The dog keeps barking. It's our third birthday, again. Decades after they were exposed, these photographs appear to reveal the first traces of THE IMPASSE. **** Documenting the existing condition (de bestaande toestand) is a legally required aspect of a building application within the context of architecture and urban development: photographs describe a building, a landscape, infrastructure. in order for it to be demolished, adjusted, built. The existence of the image, the document that presents THE SITUATION AS IT IS, usually implies and initiates change. ** THE SITUATION AS IT IS unfolded in 15 episodes of three frames that revolved rhythmically on a billboard mounted onto 019's facade. *** Part of the research project Documenting Objects, conducted by Arnout and Michiel De Cleene at KASK, the school of arts of HOGENT and Howest.

Marquand Books Inc Barbara Earl Thomas: The Illuminated Body
Book SynopsisA talented visual storyteller, Barbara Earl Thomas has drawn from history, literature, folklore, mythology, and biblical stories over her forty-year career to reflect the social fabric of our times.

Timber Press (OR) A Natural History of Empty Lots
Book SynopsisA genre-bending blend of naturalism, memoir, and social manifesto for rewilding the city, the self, and society.?Brown lives far from any conventional battlefield, but he is surrounded by the wreckage of a different war, and he, too, finds hope in cultivating the ruins of nature?A Natural History of Empty Lotsis less a departure from the nature writing tradition than a welcome addition to its edgelands.??New York Review of BooksA Natural History of Empty Lots is a genre-defying work of nature writing, literary nonfiction, and memoir that explores what happens when nature and the city intersect. During the real estate crash of the late 2000s, Christopher Brown purchased an empty lot in an industrial section of Austin, Texas. The property?abandoned and full of litter and debris?was an unlikely site for a home. Brown had become fascinated with these empty lots around Austin, so-called ?ruined? spaces once used for agriculture and industry awaiting their redevelopment. He discovered them to be teeming with natural activity, and embarked on a twenty-year project to live in and document such spaces. There, in our most damaged landscapes, he witnessed the remarkable resilience of wild nature, and how we can heal ourselves by healing the Earth. Beautifully written and philosophically hard-hitting, A Natural History of Empty Lots offers a new lens on human disruption and nature, offering a sense of hope among the edgelands.

Book SynopsisDrawing on over 40 years of practical experience, best-selling author and photographer Michael Freeman examines the most fundamental building-blocks of photography - light and shadow - bringing this key element of the picture-making process into the 21st century.In this book, Freeman takes a new and different view of photography's prime commodity, arguing that for the photographer, the rich and evocative world of shadows is the full equal of the actual light that casts them and bathes scenes. He defines the varied qualities of both light and shadows (of which there are at least ten distinct types), and shows how they have particular meaning and purpose. He also argues for integrating exposure and processing with an appreciation of light and shadow quality so as to have full and subtle control. Armed with this understanding and these techniques, the creative photographer can work with light and shadow to add depth and quality to imagery.- All new content from the master of photography guides- Concise and easy-to-follow format clearly explains the fundamentals of light and shadow - For the first time ever, both light and shadow are given equal weight in the discussion of photographic image-making- Real-life examples, clearly illustrated, cut through the jargon and show the theory of light and shadow in practice
