Within a few years engineers were putting up warehouses and elegant railway stations of corrugated iron. By the late 1840s entrepreneurial manufacturers were sending out build-it-yourself cottages for gold prospectors in California and Australia. Whole townships complete with churches sports pavilions hotels and meeting halls were soon available from catalogs to be flat-packed and sent around the world. The First World War brought the development of the shelter known as the Nissen hut perhaps the most iconic of all corrugated iron buildings and forerunner of the Quonset hut. Today corrugated sheet metal has proved invaluable in relief work and is used so often as roofing in the developing world that it can lay claim to shelter more people from the elements than any other building material. But the big surprise comes as architects around the world rediscover the virtues of this durable biodegradable and environmentally sound material sufficiently versatile to create unique works of architecture and to house thousands in disaster zones. It answers the needs of both high-tech aesthetics and low-tech aspirations for affordability and ease of construction as demonstrated by such cutting-edge architects as Will Bruder and Lake/Flato Architects in the United States; Glenn Murcutt in Australia; Rem Koolhaas Nicholas Grimshaw and Foreign Office Architects in Europe; and Shuhei Endo in Japan. Whether the appeal lies in nostalgia for rain on rusting tin roofs or in the sophistication of contemporary architecture corrugated iron deserves to be taken seriously. It has a long and fascinating history and a future as bright as its past. 200 color & b/w photos & drawings. . 2007. 0393732401 . W. W. Norton & Company hardcover

2005ref. 35104United Kingdom: Bristol Classical Pr. New. Paperback. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request – – IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY BRAND NEW PRISTINE NEVER OPENED -- Thucydides is often credited with being the father of ‘scientific history’ and seen as having produced in his history of the Peloponnesian War a factual account of that destructive conflict by contrast with the more anecdotal even credulous approach of previous writers. However in the ground-breaking Thucydides Mythistoricus first published in 1907 F. M. Cornford came to the conclusion that Thucydides’ work is in fact an historical tragedy a dramatised version of the facts. Starting from an analysis of Thucydides’ account of the origin of the war which he finds unsatisfactory Cornford asks why this should be and comes to the conclusion that Thucydides’ view was suffused by a tragic view of human nature arguing that ‘the thought of a most prosaic and rational writer of antiquity moved in an atmosphere which we should recognise to be poetic and mythical’. For this new edition Simon Hornblower provides a new Introduction tracing the reception of Cornford’s ideas along with a selection of relevant new bibliography. - AUTHOR: Cornford is the famed translator and commentator on Plato and other great Greek authors. Cornford was Fellow of Trinity College Cambridge from 1899 to 1943 and Laurence Professor of Ancient Philosophy at Cambridge from 1931 to 1939. - Simon Hornblower is Professor of Classics and Ancient History at University College London. -- with a bonus offer--; 520-Hornb; Hornblower Simon Cornford F.M.

MonetÕs famous garden at Giverny provided the inspiration for the paintings. The exhibition will bring to life the importance and beauty of this garden through a range of archival photographs as well as an early rarely seen film from 1915 showing Monet painting outdoors in his garden. MonetÕs Water Lilies will reunite the three panels of an exceptionally impressive water lily triptych created by Monet between 1915 and 1926. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art the Saint Louis Art Museum and the Cleveland Museum of Art each own one panel of the triptych and the exhibition will offer a rare opportunity to bring the works together. This will be the first time that this reunion has occurred for more than 30 years. With the single exception of a triptych in the Museum of Modern Art this is the only triptych by Monet in the United States. The exhibition will be on view in Kansas City April 9ÐAugust 7 2011 before traveling to St. Louis. The exhibition will travel to the Cleveland Museum of Art in 2015.

2021ref. 131106Bloomsbury Visual Arts. New. Hardcover. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened. – From the publisher: "The 19th century in France witnessed the emergence of the structures of the modern art market that remain until this day. This book examines the relationship between the avant-garde Barbizon landscape painter Théodore Rousseau 1812-1867 and this market exploring the constellation of patrons art dealers and critics who surrounded the artist. It argues for the pioneering role of Rousseau his patrons and his public in the origins of the modern art market and in so doing shifts attention away from the more traditional focus on the novel careers of the Impressionists and their supporters. Drawing on extensive archival research the book provides new insight into the role of the modern artist as professional. It provides a new understanding of the complex iconographical and formal choices within Rousseau's work rediscovering the original radical charge that once surrounded the artist's work and led to extensive and peculiarly modern tensions with the market place.
