Sinopse

"Timber Past Roots" explores the profound engineering wisdom hidden within historical wood construction methods, revealing how ancient builders achieved remarkable structural longevity while maintaining environmental harmony. The book bridges centuries of traditional timber practices with modern sustainable architecture, examining three crucial areas: traditional joinery techniques, historical forestry management, and their modern applications.Through meticulous research combining archaeological findings, architectural manuscripts, and surviving structures, the work demonstrates how pre-industrial societies developed sophisticated wood construction systems that often surpassed contemporary methods in both durability and ecological impact. The book's unique approach lies in its practical translation of ancient techniques into applicable modern methods, supported by technical illustrations and step-by-step reconstructions.Particularly fascinating are the case studies of surviving structures over 1,000 years old, which provide tangible evidence of traditional methods' effectiveness. The research reveals remarkable commonalities in wood selection and structural design principles across diverse cultures, from medieval European guilds to Japanese temple builders and Indigenous American traditions.Moving from technical aspects of traditional joinery through historical forestry practices, the book ultimately demonstrates how these time-tested methods can inform current sustainable building practices. It serves as an invaluable resource for architects, engineers, and conservationists, offering both theoretical framework and practical guidance while challenging modern assumptions about traditional building methods. This comprehensive examination proves that historical timber construction methods were inherently sustainable, providing crucial insights for addressing contemporary challenges in architecture and forest management.

    In 1980, Jerry A. formed Poison Idea, a Portland-based punk band that gave voice to disaffected and disenfranchised youth for over thirty years.

    The Silence of Falling Snow

    From an innovator of autofiction comes a meditation on grief, care, Buddhism, and artmaking.  
    'This is a story. It is a story about someone accompanying another to the last gate.' 
    Years ago, Kristjana Gunnars took her husband back to his home in Oslo to die. Through the dark, cold days, she tends to his needs as she feels her own self disintegrating. Later, as she looks back to this slow departure of the man she loved, she weaves together threads from her own life, reflections on the thoughts of Gautama Buddha, discussions of Renaissance art, and considerations of contemporary artists.  
    Engaging with thinkers as varied as Ingmar Bergman and Jacques Derrida, Henry David Thoreau, and Ursula K. Le Guin, Gunnars — one of the earliest practitioners of "autofiction" — crafts a new kind of hybrid text, with elements of memoir, lyrical essay, Buddhist teachings, poetics, art theory, and meditation. 
    The Silence of Falling Snow is a deep dive into grief, the way we circle around it, dipping in and out of the pain, finding comfort in art and philosophy and religion where we can. It’s an intellectual cabaret, a Buddhist primer, and a pointillist portrait of grief – above all, it’s the consoling and invigorating reflection we need in this moment.

    New and experimental ways to capture landscape in acrylics.
    Landscape artist Paul Bailey's fascination with the natural world is sensationally conveyed in his colourful and semi-abstract paintings. In Experimental Nature in Acrylics, he reveals his techniques for the first time – making it simple for readers to produce their own work that is abstract, evocative and full of vivid colour.
    Through easy-to-follow explanations and step-by-step demonstrations, Paul describes how to manipulate the medium in surprising – yet often simple – ways. Readers will learn how distil craggy cliffs, rolling farmland hills, tidal rivers or flat, open-skied wilderness in striking and unusual colour palettes. There are tips on how to paint organic shapes and using abstract elements in the natural landscape as the basis for a painting, and how to create a compositional sense of rhythm.
    Paul's beautiful and contemporary work appears throughout the book and acts as a masterclass in scraping, pulling, weathering and splattering the paint. As well as showing how to build layer upon layer, the process of construction and how to tease a sense of movement from a static image.
    This essential guide is a must for anyone wishing to augment their understanding of the acrylic medium and appreciation of composition and colour, and to liberate their own beautiful paintings.

    The Beatles, an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960, became the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed act in the history of popular music. The songs of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr scanned several genres, from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. As their songwriting grew in sophistication during the decade, they came to be viewed as integral to the development of the 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form. This fascinating audio program includes actual radio commercials from the 1960s for the band.
