Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Park Structures and Facilities, 1935 In any area in which the preservation of the beauty of Nature is a primary purpose, every modification of the natural landscape, whether it be'by construction of a road or erection of a shelter, is an intrusion. A basic objective of those who are entrusted with development of such areas for the human uses for which they are established, is, it seems to me, to hold these intrusions to a minimum and so to design them that, besides being attractive to look upon, they appear to belong to and be a part of their settings. For some years, the National Park Service, State Park authorities and other agencies which administer natural park areas have been attaining a constantly improved technique of design and execution for the structures that are required for safe, convenient and beneficial public use of these parks. Progress in this field has been especially marked since the incep tion of the Emergency Conservation Work program, with its steadily increasing and sound emphasis on development of recreational facilities, particularly in State Parks. Stimulated. By the problems this work has presented, competent architects have produced designs - and seen them converted into reality - that denote a' real advance in this somewhat specialized field. Herein are presented some of the successful natural park structures, - a group by no means limited to those produced during the past two years or to those designed and erected under National Park Service supervision; Since tastes difier and since varying experience produces varying conclusions, it is hardly to be expected that there will be unanimous agreement as to the wisdom of including certain of the selected designs, or that no one will take issue with any of the points raised in the discussions that form an important part of the work: Selec tion and discussion alike, however, are the result of most careful and conscientious study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Park and Recreation Structures, Vol. 1: Administration and Basic Service Facilities Any area in which the preservation of the beauty of Nature is a pri mary purpose, every proposed modification of the natural landscape, whether it be by construction of a road or erection of a shelter, deserves to be most thoughtfully considered. A basic objective of those who are entrusted with development of such areas for the human uses for which they are established is, it seems to me, to hold these modifications to a minimum and so to design them that, besides being attrae tive to look upon, they appear to belong to and be a part of their settings. For some years the National Park Service, State park authorities, and other agencies which administer natural park areas have been attaining a constantly improved technique of design and execution for the structures that are required for safe, convenient, and beneficial public use of these parks. Progress in this field has been especially marked since the inception of the Emergency Conservation Work program, with its steadily increasing and sound emphasis on development of recreational facilities, particularly in State parks. Stimulated by the problems this work has presented, competent architects have produced designs - and seen them converted into reality - that denote a real advance in this somewhat specialized field. Herein are presented some of the successful natural park structures, a group by no means limited to those produced during the past four years or to those designed and erected under National Park Service supervision. Since tastes differ and since varying experience produces varying conclusions, it is hardly to be expected that there will be unanimous agreement as to the wisdom of including certain of the selected designs, or that no one will take issue with any of the points raised in the discussions that form an important part of the work. Selection and discussion alike, however, are the result of most careful and conscientious study. This book is certain, I believe, to prove of exceptional value to all those who are concerned with the design of park and recreation structures. It should be immensely helpful in stimulating still further improvement in this special field of design. The interest manifested in it in advance of publication indicates a widespread conviction that there is a real place and a real need for such a compilation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency, was founded in 1942 by William 'Wild Bill' Donovan under the direction of President Roosevelt, who realized the need to improve intelligence during wartime. A rigorous recruitment process enlisted agents from both the armed services and civilians to produce operational groups specializing in different foreign areas including Italy, Norway, Yugoslavia and China. At its peak in 1944, the number of men and women working in the service totaled nearly 13,500. This intriguing story of the origins and development of the American espionage forces covers all of the different departments involved, with a particular emphasis on the courageous teams operating in the field. The volume is illustrated with many photographs, including images from the film director John Ford who led the OSS Photographic Unit and parachuted into Burma in 1943.
