Invisible Gardens: The Search for Modernism in the American Landscape

An in-depth exploration of landscape architecture during its defining era from 1925 to 1975, when the field began distinguishing itself from architecture and planning. During those years it encompassed a wide variety of approaches that nevertheless were united by a commitment to move beyond the historic traditions and past the unplanned sprawl of suburbia. Among the significant landscape architects profiled are Thomas Church, Roberto Burle Marx, Luis Barragan, Isamu Noguchi, and Lawrence Halprin. Includes color and b&amp;w photos.

Shaping the Humanitarian World (Global Institutions)

Daniel G. Maxwell

Foreign & International Law

Routledge

Providing a critical introduction to the notion of humanitarianism in global politics, tracing the concept from its origins to the twenty-first century, this book examines how the so called international community works in response to humanitarian crises and the systems that bind and divide them. By tracing the history on international humanitarian action from its early roots through the birth of the Red Cross to the beginning of the UN, Peter Walker and Daniel G. Maxwell examine the challenges humanitarian agencies face, from working alongside armies and terrorists to witnessing genocide. They argue that humanitarianism has a vital future, but only if those practicing it choose to make it so. Topics covered include: <ul><ul>
<li>the rise in humanitarian action as a political tool </li> <li>the growing call for accountability of agencies </li> <li>the switch of NGOs from bit players to major trans-national actors </li> <li>the conflict between political action and humanitarian action when it comes to addressing causes as well as symptoms of crisis. </li> </ul></ul>
This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in international human rights law, disaster management and international relations.

Drawing mainly on Luke's account in Acts, as well as on Paul's own letters, Peter Walker reconstructs Paul's wide-ranging travels, detailing some of the most important sites of the early church. We begin in Damascus, then follow Paul on his first and second 'missionary journeys', then trace his final visit to Jerusalem and Caesarea, and eventually arrive in Rome. Each chapter focuses on a particular site and includes: an opening section telling Paul's story within that location; a list of key dates giving readers an overview of significant events associated with that place; and a final section exploring the location as a visitor might encounter it today. Readers are transported to the rugged 'Cilician Gates' of southern Turkey, the market places of Athens, Corinth and Ephesus, the bleak expanses of ancient Galatia, and the wintry, wind-swept shores of Malta.

In the Steps of Saint Paul

Lion publishing Plc.

As the King's young cousin, an admired scholar living in Italy, it falls to Reginald Pole to make the case for Henry's divorce from Katherine of Aragon. And it falls to the hapless Michael Throckmorton - the younger son of an impecunious titled family - to become Thomas Cromwell's messenger to Pole in Rome. This dubious privilege makes of Throckmorton's life a tragicomedy of endless journeys back and forth between England and Italy, but it also makes him a canny observer of the great dramas of his time. And like his King, he too nurses a thwarted desire.
