Ships In The Desert by Jeff Fearnside English | August 1, 2022 | ISBN: 1951631153 | True EPUB | 136 pages | 0.6 MB In this linked essay collection, award-winning author Jeff Fearnside analyzes his four years as an educator on the Great Silk Road, primarily in Kazakhstan. Peeling back the layers of culture, environment, and history that define the country and its people, Fearnside creates a compelling narrative about this faraway land and soon realizes how the local, personal stories are, in fact, global stories. Fearnside sees firsthand the unnatural disaster of the Aral Sea-a man-made environmental crisis that has devastated the region and impacts the entire world. He examines the sometimes controversial ethics of Western missionaries, and reflects on personal and social change once he returns to the States.  Shaping a nation twentieth-century American architecture and its makers By Carter Wiseman 1998 | 412 Pages | ISBN: 0393045641 | PDF | 30 MB Wiseman focuses to a large extent on its makers - the commanding figures who by force of personality and sheer artistic ability have indelibly influenced its progress: Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Louis Kahn, Philip Johnson, I. M. Pei, Robert Venturi, Richard Meier, Michael Graves, and Frank Gehry among many others. The triumph of modernism; the growth of architectural preservation; the eclipse of the practical arts of building by money, theory, and abstraction; the American proclivity to approach art with a certain amount of suspicion, amplified by the conflict between partisans of the countryside and the city; and the uncertain future of architecture in a country that celebrates both individualism and community - these are just some of the issues Wiseman addresses with a scholar's learning, a journalist's flair and a critic's firm and often witty judgment.
