Download or read book The Parts of a House written by and published by Richard Marek Publishers. This book was released on 1980 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is an attempt to take apart and describe the constituent parts of a typical one to two family house ... I have tried to explain, in the most general terms, a building's basic anatomy; but just as no two people are exactly alike, so are houses seldom identical, although share a similar framework and have been constructed on similar principles. Therefore your mullions and muntins may not be quite as I have drawn them, but the chances are that you will have some, and will be able to recognize them from what is written here. Also, while I have tried to include everything that might be part of a house's construction, not everything here will be found in a single house - so you may look in vain for your cricket or conrice return, but you will know them when you see them in another house. ... While this book refers to smaller houses, much of the information is pertinent to dwellings in general, including flats, apartment buildings, and institutional residences. (However, it must be borne in mind that the reverse is not necessarily true; there are some features of very large buildings not mentioned here.)..."--Preface.
Download or read book House of Leaves written by Mark Z. Danielewski and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2000-03-07 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A novelistic mosaic that simultaneously reads like a thriller and like a strange, dreamlike excursion into the subconscious.” —The New York Times Years ago, when House of Leaves was first being passed around, it was nothing more than a badly bundled heap of paper, parts of which would occasionally surface on the Internet. No one could have anticipated the small but devoted following this terrifying story would soon command. Starting with an odd assortment of marginalized youth -- musicians, tattoo artists, programmers, strippers, environmentalists, and adrenaline junkies -- the book eventually made its way into the hands of older generations, who not only found themselves in those strangely arranged pages but also discovered a way back into the lives of their estranged children. Now this astonishing novel is made available in book form, complete with the original colored words, vertical footnotes, and second and third appendices. The story remains unchanged, focusing on a young family that moves into a small home on Ash Tree Lane where they discover something is terribly wrong: their house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. Of course, neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of that impossibility, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story -- of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams.
