This book was released on 1989-10 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A pioneering account of mid-Atlantic folk architecture and of the nineteenth-century transformation of traditional agriculture. . . . A major study of American vernacular architecture."--Dell Upton, University of California, Berkeley "Bernard L. Herman has provided us with a model study in the interdisciplinary interpretation of a common landscape."--Robert Blair St. George, Journal of American Folklore "An impressive study that adds an important dimension to our understanding of the built environment."--Clifford E. Clark Jr., American Historical Review "A wide range of reader expectations will be met by this book. Herman provides a focused community study as well as an interpretation of vernacular architecture in the Mid-Atlantic region."--John Michael Vlach, Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians "Scholars will be impressed by Herman's ability to marshal different kinds of evidence to buttress his contention that architecture reveals not just how people materially ordered their lives but helped 'to create and maintain order, to project images of self and community, and to control meaning in social discourse.'"--Choice The Author: Bernard L. Herman teaches at the University of Delaware, where is a professor of art history and senior research fellow at the Center for Historic Architecture and Design. Among his many publications are Everyday Architecture of the Mid-Atlantic: Looking at Buildings and Landscapes (co-author with Gabrielle M. Lanier) and Historical Architectural and the Study of American Culture (co-editor with Lu Ann De Cunzo).

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Report on School Buildings and Grounds of Delaware, 1919 All real progress must rest upon a solid foundation of fact. This is just as true in education as in business. Educationalists in the past have been too prone to follow theories, irrespective of the actual local conditions and needs. In August we published a report on the physical condition of the following schools: Alexis I. du Pont, Mt. Pleasant, New Castle, Newark, Middletown, Smyrna, Dover, Caesar Rodney, Harrington, Milford, Seaford, Blades, Laurel, Georgetown and Lewes. The report was made by Dr. George D. Strayer, Professor of Educational Administration, Teachers' College, Columbia University, and Professor N. L. Engelhardt, Associate Professor of Educational Administration, Teachers' College, Columbia University. They are recognized experts in their own field. In making the survey and writing the report they had no motive or purpose other than to give an accurate description of conditions as they found them in Delaware. This volume has been prepared by Dr. Strayer and Dr. Engelhardt in exactly the same way as the former one. It is an account of the majority of our schools in Delaware, with accurate descriptions and photographs of typical instances. Both of these reports are in the possession of the State Board of Education, and they have also been widely distributed throughout the State. The first impression the reader obtains is one of discouragement. Conditions are undoubtedly bad, but the people of Delaware today are anxious that things which are wrong should be righted as quickly as possible. If there were no prospect of improving our educational conditions, it would be a cruel humiliation to publish such a record as this. Happily we are in the position of being able not only to make the bad good and the good better in the matter of the physical equipment of our schools, but all over the State the best citizens are anxious that these things should be done and done at once. The cost to the taxpayer is not prohibitive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Buildings of Virginia written by Richard Guy Wilson and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2002 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old Dominion's built environment has grown and changed extensively since its beginnings and the Buildings of Virginia reflects those changes. The book chronicles Williamsburg, a restored eighteenth-century town with the Governor's Palace and the Christopher Wren building. And journeys farther west to Richmond, the state capitol, designed by Thomas Jefferson. It then captures the many historical sites including the birthplaces of George Washington and Robert E. Lee in Westmoreland County. Along with this, the chapters delve into the agricultural history of the state, the expansion of the railroad, and construction of deepwater facilities. And, finally, to the times during and after World War II when manufacturing, military activities, and the growth of the federal establishment accelerated the trends toward industrialization and urbanization. Virginia's influences are truly far reaching--virtually every American city shares some of its architectural style. Approximately 800 buildings and 450 photographs and maps are included in this volume's discussion, truly exhibiting the range of architecture that make up this region. Written by the voice behind A&E's America's Castles, this book is an ideal source for research in architectural history and sociology. Travelers and general readers can also utilize the book as a companion to the many fascinating sites throughout eastern Virginia.
