Sinossi

In "Character of Renaissance Architecture," Charles Herbert Moore provides a profound exploration of the architectural innovations that defined the Renaissance period. Through meticulous analysis, Moore delves into the aesthetic principles, structural advancements, and cultural significance that characterized this transformative era. His eloquent prose and critical eye highlight the interplay between art and science, presenting not only a historical account but also an examination of the philosophical underpinnings of Renaissance thought, particularly how they influenced architectural design. This work stands as a meticulous scholarly text, emblematic of its time and context, as it bridges the artistic aspirations of the past with the intellectual inquiries of the late 19th century. Charles Herbert Moore was a pivotal figure in the realm of architecture and its criticism, an academic deeply engrossed in the study of architectural forms and histories. His extensive background in both classical studies and contemporary architecture allowed him to bring a unique perspective to his writings. Influenced by the interplay of aesthetic and functional elements in architectural education, Moore sought to articulate the enduring impact of Renaissance architecture on modern design sensibilities. This book is highly recommended for scholars, architecture students, and enthusiasts who wish to gain a comprehensive understanding of Renaissance architecture's legacy. Moore's blend of historical analysis and aesthetic critique offers valuable insights, making it an essential addition to the libraries of anyone interested in the evolution of architectural thought.

The Wireless World - Global...

Friederike Kind-Kovacs, Andrea...

The Wireless World sets out a new research agenda for the history of international broadcasting, and for radio history more generally. It examines global and transnational histories of long-distance wireless broadcasting, combining perspectives from international history, media and cultural history, the history of technology, and sound studies. It is a cowritten book, the result of more than five years of collaboration. Bringing together their knowledge of a wide range of different countries, languages, and archives, the coauthors show how broadcasters and states deployed international broadcasting as a tool of international communication and persuasion. 
 
 
 
Exploring the idea of a "wireless world," a globe connected, both in imagination and reality, by radio, The Wireless World sheds new light on the transnational connections created by international broadcasting. Bringing together all periods of international broadcasting within a single analytical frame, the study reveals key continuities and transformations. It looks at how wireless was shaped by internationalist ideas about the use of broadcasting to promote world peace and understanding, at how empires used broadcasting to perpetuate colonialism, and at how anti-colonial movements harnessed radio as a weapon of decolonization.
