Book excerpt: Author-Historian Virginia Comer offers a unique photo-journal with connective text of the restoration of a National Historic Landmark, the Santa Barbara County Hall of Records, built after the City?s devastating earthquake of 1925. A ten-foot elevated pedestrian bridge connects the Hall of Records to the iconic County Court- house , considered the Nation?s most beautiful municipal building. William Mooser III of the San Francisco architectural dynasty of that name, designed the Courthouse and Hall of Records, with the help of a quick sketch by architect J. Wilmer Hershey. Completed just four years after the disturbing quake, Santa Barbara?s formation of the Country?s first Architectural Review Board had the effect of creating and maintaining the City?s distinctive Spanish-Colonial Revival styling. A few decades later and almost without notice, the interior of the Hall of Records was being gradually overlaid with changes in lighting from historic lanterns to lowered fluorescent lights; changes in the oak desks and other furniture; finally shuttering an aesthetic skylight. In time the essence of Mooser?s Andalusian ambiance disappeared in a clutter of the public space. Succeeding chapters in the book unfold events from the fateful summer day in 1925 to spring of 2003 when Robert Ooley, County Architect met with Joseph Holland, the County Assessor to make a decision about how to correct some of the needs of the Hall of Records. Ooley decided the future of the building might be in its past and Holland agreed to a complete restoration. Chapter IV, Renaissance Craftsmanship in the 21st Century, showcases the ethereal artistry of Architect Britt Jewett and the skill of the artisans and craftspersons who were able to re-create the same craftsmanship of the early1920s from Jewett?s analytic drawings The final chapter, A Legacy Restored, reveals the visual drama of the interior?s renewal of Andalusian ambiance. It celebrates the work of everyone who contributed to the project, especially the creativity of craftspersons, artisans and Architect of Historic Restoration, Britt Jewett. It?s a salute to the return of the beauty of the design of original architect, William Mooser III.

Biographical sketches and floor plans clearly delineate the changes to the original structures.Chapters describing the fund-raising efforts, and the detailed planning that accompanied the restoration, bring to life the incredible dedication, time, and attention to detail from both volunteers and professionals that went into this massive project. The main chapters--the restoration of the Home and of the Studio--are fascinating accounts of what was uncovered from the original buildings, the innovations Wright had used through the years of his work on the place, and how the restoration was accomplished.Throughout beautiful, full-color photographs reveal the depth of Wright's design acumen and the intensive labor lovingly lavished on the Home and Studio, while historic photographs and asides present compelling information. Wright's granddaughter, in the Afterword, reminds us all of the continuing need to protect Wright's message that "design matters." This book is a fitting tribute to his dictum.

Book excerpt: She's a new Christian working to take down a murderer. He's a grieving man who refuses to let another woman die needlessly. When their desires clash, will it lead to hostility... or fireworks? Angelica Rossi deserves to be behind bars, but if secretly working with the police to take down an art thief will keep her out of prison, she's willing to take the deal-even when she discovers the thief is also a brute and a murderer. As a former con artist, she's learned to take care of herself. Grieving his sister's fatal overdose, Donovan Gilcreast retreated to an eighteenth-century lakeside Victorian owned by an old friend, where he works on his paintings in the mornings and restores the house the rest of the day. He blames himself for not protecting Katie, and he blames Angelica Rossi, Katie's old friend, for introducing her to drugs years before. When Angel, the owner's sister, moves into the house, Donovan tries to keep his distance, but her bruises pull at his protective nature. Who would hurt someone so vulnerable? Angel has no idea why the brooding recluse hates her, but, despite his glares and grunts, she finds his quiet presence comforting, especially amid the fear and confusion of working as a confidential informant.

Download or read book Pioneers of Ecological Restoration written by Franklin E. Court and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2012-07-11 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internationally renowned for its pioneering role in the ecological restoration of tallgrass prairies, savannas, forests, and wetlands, the University of Wisconsin Arboretum contains the world’s oldest and most diverse restored ecological communities. A site for land restoration research, public environmental education, and enjoyment by nature lovers, the arboretum remains a vibrant treasure in the heart of Madison’s urban environment. Pioneers of Ecological Restoration chronicles the history of the arboretum and the people who created, shaped, and sustained it up to the present. Although the arboretum was established by the University of Wisconsin in 1932, author Franklin E. Court begins his history in 1910 with John Nolen, the famous landscape architect who was invited to create plans for the city of Madison, the university campus, and Wisconsin state parks. Drawing extensive details from archives and interviews, Court follows decades of collaborative work related to the arboretum’s lands, including the early efforts of Madison philanthropists and businessmen Michael Olbrich, Paul E. Stark, and Joseph W. “Bud” Jackson. With labor from the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s Depression, University of Wisconsin scientists began establishing both a traditional horticultural collection of trees and plants and a completely new, visionary approach to recreate native ecosystems. Hundreds of dedicated scientists and staff have carried forward the arboretum’s mission in the decades since, among them G. William Longenecker, Aldo Leopold, John T. Curtis, Rosemary Fleming, Virginia Kline, and William R. Jordan III. This archival record of the arboretum’s history provides rare insights into how the mission of healing and restoring the land gradually shaped the arboretum’s future and its global reputation; how philosophical conflicts, campus politics, changing priorities, and the encroaching city have affected the arboretum over the decades; and how early aspirations (some still unrealized) have continued to motivate the work of this extraordinary institution.

Download or read book The New Nobility written by Andrei Soldatov and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The New Nobility, two courageous Russian investigative journalists open up the closed and murky world of the Russian Federal Security Service. While Vladimir Putin has been president and prime minister of Russia, the Kremlin has deployed the security services to intimidate the political opposition, reassert the power of the state, and carry out assassinations overseas. At the same time, its agents and spies were put beyond public accountability and blessed with the prestige, benefits, and legitimacy lost since the Soviet collapse. The security services have played a central -- and often mysterious -- role at key turning points in Russia during these tumultuous years: from the Moscow apartment house bombings and theater siege, to the war in Chechnya and the Beslan massacre. The security services are not all-powerful; they have made clumsy and sometimes catastrophic blunders. But what is clear is that after the chaotic 1990s, when they were sidelined, they have made a remarkable return to power, abetted by their most famous alumnus, Putin.
