Book SynopsisModernists believed that âœform follows functionâ. Form Follows Fuel shows that in fact energy has been the biggest influence on the worldâs architecture throughout the history of our species. The availability of energy under different fuel regimes â including human labour, firewood, coal, oil, gas and renewables shapes architecture at all scales, from what gets built to how its doors hinge.The book is the first to quantify energy inputs for a range of buildings worldwide and across the historical record. In the process it throws up both detailed challenges and practical solutions to todayâs ecological crises, highlighting the aspects of todayâs buildings that make architecture responsible for 37% of human climate-changing emissions, and revealing the enormously lower impacts of historical alternatives to todayâs default building practices.The book shows that the shift to fossil fuel, which started in the seventeenth century, came to be the most consequential move in the history of architecture as well as in human history in general. This brought about remarkable wealth for the built environment and at the same time unprecedented dangers for our planet, as evidenced by the exacerbating climate emergency.The book consists of 14 accessibly-written case studies, illustrated with beautiful and revealing new measured drawings of each project by John Joseph Burns. Each chapter focuses on a single structure in a particular historical context, sometimes contrasted to similar buildings, from subsistence farming to advanced global capitalism. The chapters analyse the consumption of embodied and operational energy in these buildings, and also discuss questions of recycling and adaptive reuse. They complement precise descriptions with hard numbers on materials and construction, using robustly-sourced approximations where exact figures are not available. The case studies rely on both published research and the authorsâ own calculations and allow systematic comparison across different global regions and historical periods.Cases include architectural icons such as the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Baths of Caracalla, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the Seagram Building, and Terminal 1 of Kuala Lumpur International Airport, as well as common types such as a pre-modern stone house, a late-nineteenth-century tenement, and a modernist panel block. Examples are taken from different regions of the world, including ancient China, pre-Columbine Mexico, and modern Europe. The book is an important contribution to architectural historical research, written for academics and building professionals as well as for a general audience.

Book SynopsisTo explore the impact of psychoanalytic ideas and contemporary visual artists upon each other, this volume examines the aesthetics of the sublime as an allegory for psychic birth.Through the lens of a radically intersubjective psychoanalytic theory, Civitarese reinvents the Freudian notion of sublimation. He theorises that the aesthetic of the sublime reflects the internal process of establishing a space of thought through the gradual differentiation of subject and object. Supported by numerous artworks by contemporary artistsâfrom Serra to Kapoor, and Wei to Kieferâthe volume attends to questions such as, how does the psyche come into being? Why can beauty be considered necessary for life? How does what we experience as âsimplyâ beautiful differ from the aesthetic experience of what is called âsublimeâ? In this way, Civitarese forges a conceptual tool that enables readers to weave together psychoanalytic theory and aesthetics.Drawing on a deep understanding of both the latest psychoanalytic thinking and artistic practices, this book will appeal to all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists interested in art and questions of psychic development.

Book SynopsisRadical Freud reveals a radical dimension to Sigmund Freud's sexual theory that has previously been neglected.Thomas Olver argues that Freud's radical heritage has been transformed into an orthodox school with an internal stasis that is unassailable from within but increasingly challenged from without as irrelevant. Olver offers a return to the radical elements of Freud's work, first by reviewing the ways in which Freud's pioneering sexual theory has been vulgarised since his death, and by recentring his texts. The bisexuality thesis is then reconstructed, based on a close reading of key texts, and contrasted with the better-known Oedipus theory. Olver then explores the philosophical and clinical consequences of this parallel line of sexual theory.Radical Freud will be of great interest to psychoanalysts as well as to academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies, gender and queer studies, sociology, anthropology, history and philosophy.

Book Synopsis'Is there such a thing as a moral truth taught by nature itself and independent of ecclesiastical, political, and every other kind of social authority? Is there a moral law that is natural in the sense of being universally and incontestably validâvalid for men at all places and all times, indeed valid for any being that thinks and feelsâand are we capable of knowing that there is such a law? ... My own answer is emphatically affirmative.' - Franz Brentano, The Origin of Our Knowledge of Right and WrongFranz Brentano is one of the founding figures of twentieth century philosophy, celebrated for introducing the concept of intentionality as well as making significant contributions to ethics, philosophy of psychology and logic. He counted Sigmund Freud, Rudolf Steiner and Edmund Husserl amongst his students and Freud wrote to his teacher to express his great admiration for him.The Origin of Our Knowledge of Right and Wrong is Brentano's most important book on ethics and moral philosophy. Hailed by the Cambridge philosopher G.E. Moore as 'a far better discussion of the most fundamental principles of Ethics than any others with which I am acquainted', it is based on an important lecture Brentano delivered in Vienna in 1889 and the product of many years of reflection on its subject matter. Breaking with earlier arguments that ideas of right and wrong are innate, Brentano seeks to overcome a major challenge: if there is no such thing as objective moral goodness, can our moral judgments themselves still be objective, independent of context or human conventions? Brentano's answer is that they can, but only if we understand correctly the function of moral thought and discourse. His bold and highly original insight is that emotions are a precondition for moral knowledge and our experience of them can be right or wrong: if it is correct or fitting to love something we can say it is good, and if it is fitting to hate it, it is bad.Moving deftly through key figures in the history of philosophy, including Descartes and John Stuart Mill, The Origin of Our Knowledge of Right and Wrong is a pioneering work of ethics that continues to influence both analytical and phenomenological traditions in philosophy.This Routledge Classics edition includes a helpful account of Brentano's life and major works and a Foreword, both by Uriah Kriegel, explaining some of Brentanoâs core ideas and arguments. Also included are a significant excerpt from Brentano's The Foundation and Construction of Ethics, and a historically important review by G.E. Moore of The Origin of Our Knowledge of Right and Wrong on the book's first publication.

Book SynopsisSet against a social and political urban landscape of segregation and forced removals, Postmodernism and Architecture at the End of Apartheid unpacks postmodernism in the 1970s and 1980s as it unfolds in South Africa during the final brutal decade of apartheid. Architecture and apartheid are central subjects of the book â the ways they came to interact simultaneously to both buttress and undermine a country rapidly disintegrating. With battles waged in defence of white minority rule, architectsâ turn to postmodernism reflected their disintegrating consciences and commitments in operating in uncertain times.They shared with architects globally a postmodernism steeped in anxiety and despondency, summoning forth classical forms and colonial symbols detached from their surroundings. For some of these architects having studied abroad at the University of Pennsylvania, the route to postmodernism was through their mentor Louis Kahnâs bid to begin architecture anew in transforming ancient ruins as a modern concrete and brick order. For others, influenced by compatriot Denise Scott Brown who had moved to the United States, it was learning by way of her African view of Las Vegas.Postmodernism and Architecture at the End of Apartheid expands on contemporary discourse in postmodernism and architectural theory, public culture, and urban spatial politics. It examines critical voices of the period â Robert Venturi, Paolo Portoghesi, Colin Rowe, Manfredo Tafuri, Fredric Jameson, and Kenneth Frampton â as well as questions of resistance in different forms and mediums, from the literature of Nadine Gordimer and J.M. Coetzee to grassroots struggle and community participation. Connections between postmodernism and apartheid are uncovered along with the contributions brought by architects in South Africa to a global postmodernism of newly transformed landscapes of neon strips, corporate temples, and white suburban sprawl amidst townships and growing informal settlements.

Book SynopsisPsychotechnical Becomings draws on contemporary philosophy and media theory to offer a groundbreaking reimagining of psychoanalysis for the digital age, showing how technology shapes human subjectivity across all ages.Introducing innovative concepts such as technoplasticity, psychotechnical becoming, algorithmically mediated projective identification, digital armouring, and the digital superego, the book investigates how algorithmic architectures infiltrate unconscious processes. Through vivid clinical cases and interdisciplinary theory, the book demonstrates how psychoanalytic techniques can restore depth to a flattened psychic field, tracing how identity is shaped by algorithms, desire circulates within feedback loops, and mourning unfolds in a world where absence can be endlessly deferred. The book also addresses the ethical complexities of online therapy, asking how presence and truth can be sustained in digitally configured encounters. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how technology amplifies both defensive mechanisms and creative adaptations, requiring clinicians to engage with patients whose psychic lives are deeply entwined with digital environments.Drawing on Lemma's extensive clinical experience, this book is key reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and anyone wating to understand how technology has shaped our psychic life and identity.

Book SynopsisThis book redefines our understanding of information as more than mere data or communicationâit presents information as the fundamental fabric of reality itself. Drawing from disciplines as diverse as quantum physics, evolutionary biology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and metaphysics, the book explores how information operates as a dynamic, organizing force that sculpts the cosmos, consciousness, and civilization. It delves into how biological evolution is driven by information processing, how neural complexity gives rise to consciousness, and how technological systems mirror the architecture of thought itself. The narrative connects classical theoriesâlike entropy and natural selectionâto modern advances such as integrated information theory, quantum computation, and recursive artificial intelligence. By weaving scientific analysis with philosophical reflection, the book argues that information is not a passive medium but an active force, guiding evolution, shaping reality, and potentially constituting the fifth fundamental force of nature. This book will be invaluable to students, researchers, and general readers across disciplines such as information theory, physics, evolutionary biology, computer science, neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and consciousness studies. It will also serve as an essential companion for thinkers, technologists, and educators seeking to understand the informational scaffolding behind nature, mind, and machines.

Book SynopsisThis book argues that tribal Scandinavia was set on the route to kingship by the arrival in the AD 180sâ90s of warrior groups that were dismissed from the Roman army after defeating the Marcomanni by the Danube. Using a range of evidence, this book details how well-equipped and battle-seasoned warriors, familiar with Roman institutions and practices, seized land and established lordly centres. It shows how these new lords acquired wealth by stimulating the production of commodities for trade with peers and Continental associates, Romans included, to reward retainers and bestow on partners. In these transcultural circumstances, lords and their retainers nurtured artisanal production of exquisite quality and developed a heroic ethos and refined hall etiquette. The topic of warfare, created by the volatile politics of lordly cooperation and competition, is also explored. Venturing substantially beyond the usual scope of syntheses of this period, this book looks at how the break-
