Summary

Gothic Architecture explores the origins, evolution, and lasting impact of Gothic architecture, a groundbreaking style that redefined medieval building. This book argues that Gothic architecture was more than just a design choice; it was a technological and artistic response to societal needs, made possible by innovations like ribbed vaults, pointed arches, and flying buttresses. Imagine the ingenuity required to construct soaring cathedrals like Notre-Dame de Paris, defying gravity with walls of stained glass.

 
The book traces the transition from Romanesque to Gothic, examining the cultural and economic factors that paved the way for this architectural revolution. It delves into the core features of Gothic cathedrals, analyzing iconic examples and the engineering principles behind them. It also investigates regional variations across Europe, highlighting how local materials and traditions shaped the style.

 
Finally, it examines the Gothic Revival, demonstrating the style's enduring appeal. Through architectural drawings, historical documents, and visual analysis, the book reveals the technical achievements, artistic innovations, and cultural significance of Gothic architecture. It adopts a practical approach, blending technical and artistic perspectives, making it valuable for students, enthusiasts, and anyone interested in architectural history.

    Curiosity - Farmers Discovering...

    Farming and ranching success comes from the freedom to fail because there is no silver bullet. Curiosity – Farmers Discovering What Works tells journeys farmers make to find solutions that are kinder to the environment, easier on the pocket and bring purpose, pride and confidence to those in the most complex profession there is. Each story has nuggets of inspiration and insight to stimulate observation and logic in farming matters. 
John's perspectives are associated with the practices and principles of Allan Savory's Holistic Management, which though habits and routines, changes how farmers observe, question and probe for solutions. John teaches this in New Zealand and assists with farmers around the globe as a tutor for Holistic Management International. John draws on similarly minded farmers and experts such as Joel Salatin, Gabe Brown, Allan Nation, Allen Williams, Fred Provenza, Christine Jones, Charles Massy and others offering commercial farmers new directions and insights. 
Reviews include: 
…his purposeful “short, sharp” essays are designed for busy people. “Hopefully it’s style will remind you of Allan Nation.” Yes, John King did indeed capture Allan’s wise pithiness. I found myself underlining or circling something in virtually every essay. It’s dense, packed with sensible advice gleaned from dozens of on-farm experiments over numerous decades. Joel Salatin, editor, Stockman Grass Farmer, Missouri, USA 
This invaluable and important book should be compulsory reading for anyone daring to manage farming landscapes with an eye to contributing to healthier farmscapes and catchments, rural families and their animals, and to a sustainable future. How I wish I could have read and lived in such a book as this when I was a young farmer preparing to make all the mistakes. A farming, social, and environmental gem. Charles Massy, author, Call of the Reed Warbler
