Download or read book Understanding Architecture Through Drawing written by Brian Edwards and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2008-08-20 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition is fully revised and updated and includes new chapters on sustainability, history and archaeology, designing through drawing and drawing in architectural practice. The book introduces design and graphic techniques aimed to help designers increase their understanding of buildings and places through drawing. For many, the camera has replaced the sketchbook, but here the author argues that freehand drawing as a means of analyzing and understanding buildings develops visual sensitivity and awareness of design. By combining design theory with practical lessons in drawing, Understanding Architecture Through Drawing encourages the use of the sketchbook as a creative and critical tool. The book is highly illustrated and is an essential manual on freehand drawing techniques for students of architecture, landscape architecture, town and country planning and urban design.

Download or read book The Archaeology of Plural and Changing Identities written by Eleanor Casella and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-05 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As people move through life, they continually shift affiliation from one position to another, dependent on the wider contexts of their interactions. Different forms of material culture may be employed as affiliations shift, and the connotations of any given set of artifacts may change. In this volume the authors explore these overlapping spheres of social affiliation. Social actors belong to multiple identity groups at any moment in their life. It is possible to deploy one or many potential labels in describing the identities of such an actor. Two main axes exist upon which we can plot experiences of social belonging – the synchronic and the diachronic. Identities can be understood as multiple during one moment (or the extended moment of brief interaction), over the span of a lifetime, or over a specific historical trajectory. From the Introduction The international contributions each illuminate how the various identifiers of race, ethnicity, sexuality, age, class, gender, personhood, health, and/or religion are part of both material expressions of social affiliations, and transient experiences of identity. The Archaeology of Plural and Changing Identities: Beyond Identification will be of great interest to archaeologists, anthropologists, historians, curators and other social scientists interested in the mutability of identification through material remains.

Download or read book Chrissie s Bodle written by Ragnhild Ljosland and published by Anchor Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Dr. Ragnhild Ljosland, from the Centre for Nordic Studies, University of the Highlands and Islands, Orkney, explores the life and writing of this remarkable Orkneywoman who has been overlooked compared to her friends and fellow writers George Mackay Brown and Robert Rendall. Christina Costie often uses Orkney's oral storytelling culture as her vantage point and her writing is a treasure trove for those interested in folklore, old customs and beliefs. At the same time, Christina Costie's strong compassion allowed her to write truly moving poems and stories about Orkney life. Writing mainly in the 1940s and 50s, she embraced the idea of writing in the Norn and Scots amalgam which makes the Orkney dialect unique.
Download or read book Crannogs and Later Prehistoric Settlement in Western Scotland written by Graeme Cavers and published by British Archaeological Reports Limited. This book was released on 2010 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this research is on the later prehistoric period, from the earliest constructional origins of western Scotland crannogs in the late Bronze Age through to their apparent emergence as status dwellings in the Early Historic period after the midfirst millennium AD. The aim is to investigate the ways in which crannogs functioned as settlements, both on a practical, economic as well as a symbolic and socio-cultural level. Throughout, the primary concern is with contextualisation, considering crannogs within their correct chronological and cultural context through the critical analysis of dating evidence as well as the identification of the relevant ritual and symbolic themes- i.e. the Iron Age veneration of water. It is argued in this book that the stereotypical view of a crannog that has largely been derived from the results of work carried out on Irish crannogs has been misleading in the case of the Scottish sites, tending towards a view of crannogs as high-status strongholds, often as royal seats. Though crannogs were certainly a significant feature of the Early Historic period in Scotland, there is as yet no evidence of direct connections to royalty in this period and, based on the currently available evidence, the characterisation of crannogsas high status sites is misguided in the context of their late Bronze and Iron Age origins.

Download or read book A History of Beer and Brewing written by Ian S Hornsey and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2007-10-31 with total page 761 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Beer and Brewing provides a comprehensive account of the history of beer. Research carried out during the last quarter of the 20th century has permitted us to re-think the way in which some ancient civilizations went about their beer production. There have also been some highly innovative technical developments, many of which have led to the sophistication and efficiency of 21st century brewing methodology. A History of Beer and Brewing covers a time-span of around eight thousand years and in doing so: * Stimulates the reader to consider how, and why, the first fermented beverages might have originated * Establishes some of the parameters that encompass the diverse range of alcoholic beverages assigned the generic name 'beer' * Considers the possible means of dissemination of early brewing technologies from their Near Eastern origins The book is aimed at a wide readership particularly beer enthusiasts. However the use of original quotations and references associated with them should enable the serious scholar to delve into this subject in even greater depth.
