The so-called fourth dimension of a metropolis is the underground space beneath a city, which typically includes structures such as tunnels that facilitate transport, as well as providing gas, water and other supplies. Underground space may also be used for living, working, and recreational facilities and provide storage for industrial materials. Underground Space: The 4th Dimension of Metropolises focuses on underground city design and planning of subterranean constructions; geotechnical survey and improvement of ground mass; research, development and design of underground constructions in built-up areas; urban tunneling, both conventional and mechanized, and its monitoring; underground constructions executed from the surface in built-up areas; concrete in underground construction; distribution and management of risks and accidents during tunneling; tunnel equipment; fire and operational safety; and historical underground constructions. This collection of papers will be invaluable to researchers, scientists, engineers, and professionals working in the underground space.

Review The Art and Archaeology of Ancient Persia: New Light on the Parthian and Sasanian Empires / I B Tauris & Co Ltd:

The art of the Parthian and Sasanian empires exercised enormous influence on art and culture in the early Islamic period and its legacy has continuing relevance in modern times. Pre-Islamic stylistic developments and motifs were widely adopted in the Islamic period: traditional mosque architecture, for example, draws much from Parthian and Sasanian forms. This text brings together an international panel to assess the state of knowledge of the Achaemenid, Parthian and Sasanian empires, and their contributions cover a range of subjects relating to the art and archaeology of Iran and neighbouring countries from the 5th century BC to the 7th century AD. Previously unpublished material from excavations in Central Asia is presented, along with actual evidence of cultural continuity between ancient Persia and the modern Middle East.

Review Authenticating the Words of Jesus & Authenticating the Activities of Jesus (New Testament Tools and Studies,) / Brill Academic Publishers:

Research on Jesus is a difficult task because of the number of primary source materials and their complexities. These complexities involve problems that arise from imperfect preservation of sources, uncertain literary relationships among the documents themselves, and even less certain knowledge of their respective provenances. Jesus research inevitably involves reaching behind the extant sources, inferring from what lies before us the nature of the material upon which the evangelists drew. This volume reviews the criteria, assumptions and methods involved in critical Jesus research. Its purpose is to clarify the procedures necessary to distinguish tradition that stems from Jesus from tradition and interpretation that stem from later tradents and evangelists, and to inquire into the various forces and situations that led to the emergence of the tradition as we have it.

Review Richard Meier (Spanish Edition) / Benedikt Taschen Verlag:

This new title in the Modern Masters series is dedicated to the distinguished American architect, and includes an introductory essay by Kenneth Frampton, one of the most prestigious names in the field of architecture history. This complete monograph presents 89 of Meier's buildings, documenting the principal stages of Meier's career in chronological order, from his early private homes and residential buildings - such as the two large complexes of Twin Parks, Bronx, New York, and the Bronx Development Center - to recent major projects in the United States and in several European countries, including Italy. Among the well-known works in this volume are the Getty Center in Los Angeles, the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, and the church of Dives in Misericordia, Rome. In the early 1970s, Meier was one of the "New York Five," an informal group of East Coast architects who shared a preference for new and original contributions to the modern tradition and shaped an alternative to the "gray" architecture that dominated highrise East Coast buildings at the time.
