Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from King's Handbook of the United States The illustrations necessary to explain and make clear the text proved to be unexampled in num ber for any Single volume. Had not the limits of space forbidden, the drawings alone actually used would easily have filled a volume larger than the one now containing them With the de scriptive text and the atlas of the country. The necessary reduction has taken away from the apparent importance of each of the pictures, but we hope that a careful examination will show that the artistic beauty and the intrinsic value have in all cases been retained. As the Handbook in its essentials is based upon the National Census of 1890, whose final results were announced only in 1893 and 1894, it has been thought best to leave the text with only minor alterations, and to embody the results of later and generally less authoritative compilations up to 1896 in the form of an appendix. The portion relating to any State can be reao easily and quickly, and thus in an instant the necessary emendations be fixed in the mind of the reader, without the need of destroying the symmetry of the work as a record. In the case of the maps, all information available up to 1896 has been em bodied ih the plates so as to make of them a complete up-to-date atlas. With these few explanations of the intent of Its author and publishers, we leave the result of their labors for the consideration of the public.

Download or read book Notable New Yorkers of 1896 1899 written by Moses King and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notable New Yorkers of 1896-1899: A Companion Volume to King's Handbook of New York-City Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be. The first edition of this book copies of 616 pages each is a notable single undertaking of these times. Each sheet is a solid form of 32 pages. Containing 128 portraits, every one of which must be brought out for its full value. As regards the printing or press-work A great newspaper sends its stereotyped page forms to its wonderful octuple presses. And in a few minutes its 16-page papers are being delivered, all folded, pasted and counted, at the rate of an hour. In fine book-making, only one side of a single sheet can be printed at a time on the best book presses, and instead of a few minutes to start it requires several days' careful preparation for a form one-quarter the size of a newspaper, and the book-printer does well to get off well-printed sheets of this character in two weeks. This volume, 20 different forms sheets. 36 x 50 inches - ou which two modern book presses have been kept constantly running for five months, shows the difference between book and newspaper work, and the time required accounts for many seeming discrepancies in the inscriptions. The printing was done by Bartlett 8: Company, and would tax the best capacity of any printing-house to equal it.

Download or read book A Pattern Language written by Christopher Alexander and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can use this book to design a house for yourself with your family; you can use it to work with your neighbors to improve your town and neighborhood; you can use it to design an office, or a workshop, or a public building. And you can use it to guide you in the actual process of construction. After a ten-year silence, Christopher Alexander and his colleagues at the Center for Environmental Structure are now publishing a major statement in the form of three books which will, in their words, "lay the basis for an entirely new approach to architecture, building and planning, which will we hope replace existing ideas and practices entirely." The three books are The Timeless Way of Building, The Oregon Experiment, and this book, A Pattern Language. At the core of these books is the idea that people should design for themselves their own houses, streets, and communities. This idea may be radical (it implies a radical transformation of the architectural profession) but it comes simply from the observation that most of the wonderful places of the world were not made by architects but by the people. At the core of the books, too, is the point that in designing their environments people always rely on certain "languages," which, like the languages we speak, allow them to articulate and communicate an infinite variety of designs within a forma system which gives them coherence. This book provides a language of this kind. It will enable a person to make a design for almost any kind of building, or any part of the built environment. "Patterns," the units of this language, are answers to design problems (How high should a window sill be? How many stories should a building have? How much space in a neighborhood should be devoted to grass and trees?). More than 250 of the patterns in this pattern language are given: each consists of a problem statement, a discussion of the problem with an illustration, and a solution. As the authors say in their introduction, many of the patterns are archetypal, so deeply rooted in the nature of things that it seemly likely that they will be a part of human nature, and human action, as much in five hundred years as they are today.
