This book presents a rich and rewarding history of houses in England through the stories of nine houses, dating from the 1600s to the 1980s, which have been inhabited by the author, an architect and academic. Chronologically ordered, the book covers rural vernacular houses from the 17th Century, Georgian and Victorian townhouses, villas and converted industrial buildings, Edwardian semis and 20th-century council housing and mixed tenure new developments. Firstly reflecting on the author’s own experience of the house, each chapter then examines its historical context, before making a detailed analysis of the buildings design and layout, usefully illustrated with architectural drawings. Each chapter concludes with a useful discussion of lessons learnt from each house/historic period and compares them with contemporary houses which use similar materials, construction techniques or ideas. It not only details the evolution of the design and construction of houses through the centuries, but also includes concise but highly informative sections on the history of various types of construction and materiality, such as brickmaking and timber and steel frame; sections on conversion and adaptive reuse and what works and what doesn't; the evolution of styles; housing density; ownership; and the three broad waves of council/social housing etc. On ...

The murder of a college professor has its roots in the Cold War: the new Oxford Dogwalkers mystery from award-winning YA writer Annie Dalton. Shortly before Christmas, Professor James Lowell is found brutally attacked in his rooms at Walsingham College, where Anna Hopkins works as an administrator.

It turns out that Isadora has been keeping a surprising secret all these years. But someone else knows about Isadora''s secret: someone who has sent her a threatening, frightening letter.

Discover the meaning of planets in houses with insights from renowned astrologer Robert Pelletier. While the fundamental forces at work in a chart can be found by correctly synthesizing the cosmic relationships of the planets, their signs and aspects, it is the houses that bring chart-reading down to earth. The deeper an astrologer''s understanding of houses and their meanings, the more precisely he or she can pinpoint how planetary energies will work themselves out in daily life. What Robert Pelletier does in Planets in Houses has never been done before in the history of astrology. He discusses the meaning of each planet in each house as derived by counting from each of the other eleven houses, and he discusses the meaning of each house position in relation to the other houses with which it forms trines, sextiles, squares and oppositions, inconjuncts and semi-sextiles. In each chapter, wheel symbols graphically show the seventeen different house relationships delineated for each planet. Finally, Pelletier delineates the Sun-Moon polarities in terms of the wheel of houses: for each house position of the Sun, he interprets each of the twelve possible related house positions of the Moon. Each chapter presents the traditional meaning of the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

''Making is our defence against the dark...''Through images of conflict and craftsmanship, Ruth Padel’s powerful new poems address the Middle East, tracing a quest for harmony in the midst of destruction. An oud, the central instrument of Middle Eastern music , is made and broken. An ancient synagogue survives attacks, a Palestinian boy in a West Bank refugee camp learns capoeira, and a guide shows us Bethlehem''s Church of the Nativity during a siege. At the heart of the book are Christ’s last words from the Cross.Uniting this moving collection is the common ground shared by Judaism, Christianity and Islam: a vision of human life as pilgrimage and struggle but also as music and making. With care and empathy, Ruth Padel suggests how rifts in the Holy Land speak to conflict in our own hearts. ''We identify. Some chasm / through the centre must be in and of us all.''

‘I was born on 25th May, 1938, in the front bedroom of a house in Orton Road, a house on the outer edges of Raffles, a council estate. I was a lucky girl.’ So begins Margaret Forster’s journey through the houses she’s lived in, from that sparkling new council house, to her beloved London home of today. This is not a book about bricks and mortar though. This is a book about what houses are to us, the effect they have on the way we live our lives and the changing nature of our homes: from blacking grates and outside privies; to cities dominated by bedsits and lodgings; to the houses of today converted back into single dwellings. Finally, it is a gently insistent, personal inquiry into the meaning of home.

While Karl Lagerfeld was famous for being at the very center of the fashion industry for over half a century, he was equally opinionated when it came to interiors, which acted as a private creative outlet.Following an introduction by Patrick Mauriès, each house is introduced by a short text by Marie Kalt unveiling the history of Lagerfeld’s homes while identifying key designers and pieces. From his elegant art deco–inspired apartment in Saint-Sulpice, Paris, to the incredibly ornate eighteenth-century mansion Hôtel Pozzo di Borgo, Lagerfeld’s houses reveal he was a collector on a Renaissance scale as they showcase his spectacular range. Lagerfeld balanced the old with the new and moved from one atmosphere to the next, leaving a Memphis-designed apartment in Monte Carlo for a grand tour–themed Roman pied-à -terre, followed by bucolic French country houses and even a majestic Nordic villa in his native Hamburg.Karl Lagerfeld: A Life in Houses

Beyond the headlines of destruction and despair, discover the untold story of Gaza''s humanity—its joys, resilience, and vibrant community spirit, as captured by a native son. Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza has plunged more than two million Palestinians into a ceaseless cycle of violence and deprivation. Despite the outrage that Israel’s aggression has fanned, two opposing tropes about those who inhabit the Strip endure. For the minority backing Israel’s actions, the Palestinians of Gaza are often seen as little more than terrorists. For many on the other side, they are perpetual victims, powerless and tragic. Each characterization dehumanizes Gaza’s people. In this book, Mohammed Omer Almoghayer, born and raised in southern Gaza, presents a necessary corrective: What the news reports have rarely shown are the ways in which, prior to Israel’s onslaught, the people of Gaza rose above their hardship to enjoy the simple pleasures of human existence. While in no way diminishing the horrors hurled at the Strip since October 7, or the prior suffering of those forced to live in what was effectively an open prison, Omer Almoghayer here tells that story.

Humans excel at designing and constructing technological marvels like cars and aeroplanes. Yet, when it comes to the very houses we live in, do we apply the same level of creativity and bold innovation? Or are we too constrained by notions of how we think things ought to be?In this beautiful book, architect and professor Fredrik Lund explores the concept of constructing homes that not only offer a refuge of tranquillity in our hectic, modern lives but also blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Imagine houses with internal gardens, spaces that exist in a liminal state between inside and outside—where being indoors feels like an embrace with nature.Lund presents a unique approach to designing homes, drawing inspiration from the traditional Norwegian outbuildings, barns, and sawmills. He invites the reader into a vibrant world of unexpected delights, masterful woodwork, poetic expression, and an enhanced quality of life nestled in silence. Through his adept use of simple lines, Lund brings these houses to life, making them both accessible and vivid.

The creator of National Geographic''s popular Blue Zones—now a documentary on Netflix—brings readers a beautifully illustrated and informative guide to the places on Earth where people live the longest—including lessons learned, top longevity foods, and the behaviors to help you live to 100—plus a surprising new blue zone.National Geographic Explorer and best-selling author Dan Buettner has traveled the globe to uncover the best strategies for longevity, which he found in the blue zones: places around the world where higher percentages of people enjoy remarkably long, full lives. In The Blue Zones Secrets for Living Longer, Buettner returns to Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece; Okinawa, Japan; Costa Rica''s Nicoya Peninsula; and Loma Linda, California to check in on the super-agers living in the blue zones and interprets the not-so-secret sauce of purpose, faith, community, down-time, natural movement, and plant-based eating that has powered as many as 10 additional years of healthy living in these regions. And Buettner reveals an all-new blue zone—the first man-made blue zone yet explored. Throughout his two decades of research, Buettner has worked with some of National Geographic''s top photographers—including David McLain and Gianluca Cola—to document the healthy habits of the world''s longest living communities.

“An affirmation and celebration of our deep and radical connections with the world and each other . . . Reading this book is like finding a friend.”—Ruth OzekiA spirited and timely exploration of group living that encourages readers to reconsider the meaning of family and home.Lola Milholland grew up in the nineties, the child of iconoclastic hippies. Both her parents threw open their rambling house in Portland, Oregon, to long-term visitors and unusual guests in need of a place to stay. Years later, after college and after her parents’ separation, Milholland returned home. There, she joined her brother and his housemates—an eccentric group of stop-motion animators and accomplished cooks—in furthering the experiment of communal living into a new generation.Group Living and Other Recipes tells the story of the residents of the Holman House—of transcendent meals and ecstatic parties, of colorful characters coming together in moments of deep tenderness and inevitable irritation, of a shared life that is appealing, humorous, confounding, and, just maybe, utopian—with a wider exploration of group living as a way of life. From spending time at her aunt and uncle’s intentional community in Washington State to finding her footing in the kitchen as a student in Japan ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Contrasts classical Greek ontology ("the science of being in itself") with Confucian "zoetology" ("the art of living").In Living Chinese Philosophy, Roger T. Ames uses comparative cultural hermeneutics as a method for contrasting classical Greek ontology ("the science of being in itself") with classical Chinese "zoetology" ("the art of living"), which is made explicit in the Yijing??or Book of Changes. Parmenides, Plato, and Aristotle give us a substance ontology grounded in "being qua being" or "being per se" (to on he on) that guarantees a permanent and unchanging subject as the substratum for the human experience. This substratum or essence includes its purpose for being (telos) and defines the "what-it-means-to-be-a-thing-of-this-kind" (eidos) of any particular thing, thus setting a closed, exclusive boundary and the strict identity necessary for a particular thing to be "this" and not "that." In the Book of Changes, we find a vocabulary that makes explicit cosmological assumptions that are a stark alternative to this substance ontology. It also provides the interpretive context for the canonical texts by locating them within a holistic, organic, and ecological worldview. To provide a meaningful contrast with this fundamental assumption of on or "being," we might borrow the Greek notion of zoe or ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The story of the Centro Iberico, a legendary music venue of the UK''s postpunk era, has been fragmentary and disjointed, its tangled twelve-year history never properly documented before now. Its tale spans the Spanish Civil War as we follow an anarchist hero who spilt blood for his beliefs, fought the Nazis, fought Franco''s fascists as part of the resistance, endured a death sentence commuted to twenty years'' imprisonment, before devoting his twilight years to evangelizing his cause from exile in London. His survival and the inauguration of the Centro Iberico were thanks to London''s anarchist underground, which maintained a foothold and kept the torches burning despite harassment and disinterest, before finding new life amid punk''s co-optaion of ''anarchy'' as a youth culture phenomenon. Punks and political anarchists rallied together to support the victims of an egregious and shambolic antiterror trial. The Centro Iberico''s peripatetic journey ended as it came into contact with the squatters occupying an abandoned school, morphing from its activist roots to become a creative hub which gave refuge to the residents of the anarchy center before the first murmurs of the ''80s construction boom finally ended its existence. The Centro Iberico was the only consistently established anarchist ... Unknown localization key: "more"
