Sinossi

Temple Architecture explores the profound connection between religious buildings and the spiritual experiences they foster. Delving into diverse architectural styles across faiths, the book uncovers how specific designs communicate religious beliefs and values. Temples, beyond being mere structures, serve as communal spaces, fostering spiritual connections and collective identity.

 
Did you know that architectural choices, like layout and ornamentation, contribute to the overall sacred atmosphere? Or that understanding the historical context of religious architecture is vital for appreciating its nuances? 

 
This book takes a systematic approach to understanding temple architecture, blending architecture, religious studies, and cultural history. It moves beyond aesthetics to reveal deeper meanings within sacred spaces. The analysis incorporates historical records, architectural plans, and on-site observations, enhanced by visual aids.

 
The book progresses through three parts: introducing core concepts and styles, analyzing designs from different periods and religions, and examining the practical implications for architects.

 
This exploration demonstrates how temple design is not just functional but actively shapes religious experiences, reinforcing the bond between worshippers and the divine.

    Guitar Scales and Arpeggios isn't just a book of scales, it will teach you how scales and arpeggios can be created on the guitar. This will provide you with a deeper understanding of the logic behind them, making them more meaningful and therefore easier to learn in the long term. For intermediate level and above.
    - The Major Scale
    It all starts with the major scale, the basis of music. All other scales and arpeggios can be defined in comparison to this scale. The book reflects this in practical terms by categorising the major scale into three different fundamental shapes, which once understood, can be used as templates to figure out other guitar scales and arpeggios. This can lead to being able to work out and learn guitar scales and arpeggios yourself.
    - The CAGED guitar system
    This system can help to understand the larger CAGED guitar scale shapes in terms of their single octave components. For example, the five CAGED shapes for the major (or minor) pentatonic scales, each containing twelve notes, can be learned as only two shapes of five notes, which are joined end to end to give us the five full CAGED shapes.
    - What Else?
    
    -  Diagrams: 600+ fretboard diagrams, plus music theory charts, other diagrams and 20+ photographic examples.
    - Key Signatures: Understand how  scale construction relates to key signatures.
    - 3-Note Per String Guitar Scales: Understand  various 3-note per string scales  as the same combination of single octave component types.
    - Chord Harmony: Explore how basic major and minor chords are formed from  scales and learn how to create harmonies using triads and 7th chords.
    - Intervals: When grouped in the context of the scales they are intended for, this helps to  learn them. Intervals are also shown individually.
    - Guitar Modes and Scales: Learn the modes and how they are created on the fretboard.
    - Guitar Arpeggios: Major, minor, major 7th, dominant 7th, minor 7th, diminished 7th, augmented, major 7th #5, dominant 7th #5, dominant 7th b5 and minor(major)7th.
    -  Scales for Guitar: Major, minor, pentatonic scales, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian (minor), Locrian, blues scale, blue grass scale, dominant pentatonic, harmonic minor, Phrygian dominant, melodic minor and Lydian dominant.
    - Symmetrical Guitar Scales: Wholetone, diminished (whole half) and diminished (half whole).
    - Questions and Answers:  Test your skills with a question for each scale and arpeggio type, with the answer in guitar tablature at the back of the book.
    Enhance your playing and deepen your understanding of the guitar with Guitar Scales and Arpeggios.

    English Cathedral and Monastic...

    Well over a hundred great churches were built in the cathedral tradition in the Middle Ages. They are our most important group of historical monuments and embody the finest craftwork of medieval architecture. Despite a great mass of specialist literature and research on other aspects, it was not until Cecil A. Hewett's work over the past three decades that any serious attention was paid to their functional carpentry or, indeed, to their decorative timberwork.
    Examining the entire range of 'great' churches, Hewett's carefully reasoned and well-organised text covers all areas of monastic and cathedral carpentry, classifying roof structures, towers and spires in chronological order, while an important section deals with the surviving examples of hoisting machinery still in situ, some from a very early date. In English Cathedral and Monastic Carpentry, he relates the physical evidence to the documentary record supported with over 300 of his own magnificent drawings. In this, Hewett provides both a work of reference and a stimulating analysis of the evolution of the craft.
