The distinguished Australian architect surveys his career and examines how his architectural theories are expressed in his designs

John Andrews: Architecture, a Performing Art

Oxford University Press

This is an unconventional but remarkably effective book about the career and work of one architect - John Andrews, who has received world-wide attention. In the forthright, frank manner typical of the man, Andrews tells of the practice of architecture as it really is - from getting a job to the completion of the building.  In his introduction, Andrews writes: "I did not start originally to write a book, but to record experiences which could be useful to students. When teaching at the University of Toronto, I became quite concerned that there was no part of the course where I could get students to understand the immense variety of experiences that go into building a building."  The book that has emerged from Andrews' experiences is both an attempt to provide that understanding, revealing what a career as an architect truly involves, and at the same time a portrait of the artist as a young architect. Like all competent artists, Andrews began with a mastery of his craft. He became a great artist because he approached each problem with single-minded and passionate intensity, and let the solution emerge naturally and inevitably from the pressure of the facts and the dictates of the imagination.  Illustrated with over 200 photographs, plans and two-colour diagrams, it will undoubtedly prove a revelation to many students of architecture.

Do renewable energy sources really provide a realistic alternative to fossil fuels? How does wind power compare to nuclear power, in terms of the energy it can generate? How do we get energy from the tides, and is it really a useful source of power? 
Energy Science: Principles, Technologies, and Impacts integrates the science behind the key energy sources that are at our disposal today with the socioeconomic issues surrounding their use to give a balanced, objective overview of the range of energy sources available to us today. Covering both traditional and renewable energy sources, the book encourages the reader to evaluate different energy sources on the basis of sound quantitative understanding. It also explores the fundamental processes of energy generation, storage, and transmission, building a complete picture of energy supply and use--from wind turbines, nuclear reactors, and hydroelectric dams--to our homes. 
Different energy sources have different social and economic impacts; the book uses examples and case studies throughout to help the reader critically assess the information to hand surrreach a well-rounded, informed view of the relative merits and drawbacks of the utilization of various energy sources. 
Problems with current and future energy use and supply extend globally; Energy Science: Principles, Technologies, and Impacts introduces the potential solutions that science can offer, within a framework that encourages the critical assessment of the pros and cons of each.

Do renewable energy sources really provide a realistic alternative to fossil fuels? How much power can be obtained from all the various forms of energy? Can global warming be combated with the energy technologies that are currently available? Offering a balanced, objective overview of the subject, Energy Science: Principles, Technologies, and Impacts enables students to evaluate the key sources of energy available to us today on the basis of sound, quantitative understanding. It relates the science behind renewable, fossil fuel, and nuclear energy sources to the environmental and socioeconomic issues that surround their use. The authors use examples and case studies throughout to help students make quantitative estimates and critically assess the relative merits and drawbacks of each energy source. Exploring the practicalities of energy generation, storage, and transmission, this unique text paints a complete picture of energy supply, from wind turbines, nuclear reactors, and hydroelectric dams to our homes. A Companion Website offers resources for students and instructors. NEW TO THIS EDITION * New case studies from around the world featuring real-world examples of energy technology implementation and policy considerations * Significantly expanded coverage of fossil fuels as an energy source * A greater emphasis on the importance of considering the whole energy system, from the sources to our homes, and on the uses of energy in buildings, industry, and transport * Enhanced coverage of energy storage, smart grids, carbon capture and storage, and energy efficiency technology in light of recent developments
