Review Glenn Murcutt: Buildings and Projects 1962-2003 / Thames & Hudson:"The one indispensable work on the Australian maverick…. Clients wait years for the privilege of having one of his houses. "—LA ArchitectThe work of Australian architect Glenn Murcutt has attracted unprecedented international attention in recent years. The winner of the Pritzker Prize in 2002, Murcutt has fashioned an architecture that is remarkably consistent, unusual in character, and yet curiously familiar. His buildings, which are principally residential, are a harmonious blend of modernist sensibility, local craftsmanship, indigenous structures, and respect for nature. This major monograph, the most complete and up-to-date volume available, spans Murcutt's entire career, from the early modernisthouses to his most recent commissions. Françoise Fromonot examines Murcutt's early training and architectural influences and then analyzes how his buildings attempt to "marry modern architecture to the place, the territory, the landscape" to arrive at an ecological functionalism. The heart of the book focuses on the buildings themselves, an eclectic selection ranging from his courtyard houses in Sydney to freestanding residences set in Australia's barren and isolated landscapes. Full-color photography, much of it supplied from the architect's own private collection, testifies to the aesthetic appeal of the buildings, while Murcutt's line drawings and plans give further insight into his work. [+]406 illustrations, 197 in color.

Review Rabbinic Narrative: a Documentary Perspective (Brill Reference Library of Judaism.) (Brill Reference Library of Judaism.) / Brill Academic Publishers:Each Rabbinic document, from the Mishnah through to the Bavli, defines itself by a unique combination of indicative traits of rhetoric, topic and particular logic that governs its coherent discourse. But narratives in the same canonical compilations do not conform to the documentary indicators that govern in these compilations, respectively. They form an anomaly for the documentary reading of the rabbinic canon of the formative age. To remove that anomaly, this project classifies the types and forms of narratives and shows that particular documents exhibit distinctive preferences among those types. This detailed, systematic classification of rabbinic narrative supplies these facts concerning the classification of narratives and their regularities: what are the types and forms of narrative in a given document?; how are these distinctive types and forms of narrative distributed across the canonical documents of the formative age, the first six centuries CE? The answers for the documentary preferences are in Volumes One to Three, for the Mishnah-Tosefta, the Tannaite Midrash-compilations, and Rabbah-Midrash-compilations, respectively. Volume Four then sets forth the documentary history of each of the types of rabbinic narrative, including the authentic narrative, the maOEaseh and the mashal. How the traits of the several types of narratives shift as the respective types move from document is spelled out in complete detail. This project opens a road towards the documentary analysis of rabbinic narrative. It fills out an important chapter in the documentary hypothesis of the rabbinic canon in the formative age.

Review Proceedings of the 9th International Congress on Deterioration and Conservation of Stone / Elsevier Science:The conservation of historic monuments, sites and structures constitutes an inter-professional discipline co-ordinating a range of aesthetic historic, scientific and technical methods. Conservation is a rapidly developing field, which, by its true nature, is a multidisciplinary activity with experts respecting one another's contributions and combining to form an effective team. Conservation is an artistic activity aided by scientific and historical knowledge. Main topics at this Congress included:- the most appropriate methodology for the assessment of the degree of weathering of stone- development of new methods and instruments for the diagnosis of the state of conservation, for the study of alteration mechanisms and for conservation treatments. - the definition of Technical European Standard Methods for the evaluation of conservation treatments of artistic and historic stone objects and monuments.

Review Manor Houses of England / Vendome Press:Following on the great successes of recently published books on the Great Houses of England, of Wales and of Scotland, here in the same lavish format is a book on the manor houses of England. These smaller scale houses, often of more ancient origin than the "great houses," are scattered all around the country, and range from simple Norman halls to picturesque Tudor manor houses and handsome buildings from the reign of the Stuarts. This is domestic architecture, rather than palaces built to impress the visitor with their owners' power and wealth, and as such they are far more closely related to modern life. Not only is this book redolent in history, but it will suggest architectural and decorative ideas to those building a traditional home. While most of the great houses have now been sold by their original owners, most of the manor houses are still privately owned and lived in as a home. His book covers 40 manor houses in all, each one is beautifully illustrated by specially commissioned photographs and accompanied by a lively, readable text that describes the families that created these marvelous houses.

Review De Vita Solitaria. Buch I: Buch I. Kritische Textausgabe Und Ideengeschichtlicher Kommentar Von K.A.E. Enenkel (Leidse Romantische Reeks, Deel 24) (German Edition) / Brill Academic Publishers:Mit De vita solitaria hat Francesco Petrarca ein Werk geschaffen, das aufgrund der groBen ideengeschichtlichen Reichweite seines Themas, das vita activa-vita contemplativa-Problems, und seiner weiten Verbreitung (mehr als 120 Handschriften) einen guten Einblick in die Geistesgeschichte des 14. und 15. Jh. zu vermitteln vermag. In De vita solitaria laBt sich die geistige Auseinandersetzung des beginnenden Humanismus mit einem wichtigen Zweig mittelalterlicher Uberlieferung, dem kontemplativen Schrifttum, und mit der antiken otium- Tradition, die neuverarbeitet wird, erkennen. Es wird versucht, diese Auseinandersetzung in einem ausfuhrlichen ideengeschichtlichen Kommentar im Detailberiech und in Ubersichten herauszuarbeiten und damit einen Beitrag zur Ideengeschichte des Praehumanismus zu liefern. Zugleich wird hier De vita solitaria (Buch 1) zum erstenmal in einer kritischen Ausgabe, versehen mit Quellenapparat und Index nominum, prasentiert. Damit soll ein Beitrag zur weitern ErschlieBung des Werkes geleistet werden. Petrarch's De vita solitaria provides an excellent insight into the history of ideas of the 14th and 15th centuries, because of its wide-ranging theme - the conflict between vita activa and vita contemplativa - and its immense popularity, attested by more than 120 manuscripts. This commentary on the first book of De vita solitaria explores how early humanism dealt with both the important medieval tradition of contemplative writing and the classical otium-tradition. [+]The commentary's detailed analysis of this process forms thus a significant contribution to our knowledge of the development of early humanist thought. Apart from the commentary, De vita solitaria (Book 1) is presented here for the first time in a critical edition. It includes an apparatus fontium and an index nominum, designed to facilitate the further exploration of his work.

Review The Template-Makers of the Paris Basin: Toichological Techniques for Identifying the Pioneers of the Gothic Movement, with an examination of art-historical methodology / West Grinstead Publications:The 12th- and 13th-century early Gothic churches from the region around Paris which form the basis of this study were large-scale undertakings. Dr James draws on evidence which suggests that work proceeded in a series of projects, when funding, technical problems (for example, slow-setting mortar), and the work of other trades (such as roofing and centring) allowed. Within each project there were generally a number of separately organised phases, or `campaigns', and it is from close study of these campaigns that the author proceeds to an identification of the characteristics of the individual master masons, the template-makers.
