Beschreibung

In "Mazes and Labyrinths," W. H. Matthews meticulously explores the rich and intricate history of labyrinths and mazes, synthesizing a wealth of scholarly research with an engaging narrative style. The book navigates through historical contexts, mythological significance, and the mathematical principles underlying these enigmatic structures, revealing their profound cultural implications. Matthews employs a blend of descriptive prose and analytical commentary, illustrating the aesthetic and psychological facets of mazes, making it a crucial text for both enthusiasts and scholars alike. W. H. Matthews, a prominent figure in the early 20th century, was deeply rooted in the study of geometry and its applications in historical contexts. His academic background and personal fascination with spatial puzzles likely inspired him to delve into the subject matter of this seminal work. Matthews seeks not only to inform but to invite readers into the broader philosophical queries raised by mazes: their relation to journey and introspection, as well as their symbolic representation across various cultures. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in architecture, psychology, or art history, as it uncovers the layers of meaning inherent in mazes. Matthews' engaging prose invites readers to reflect on their own paths through life, making "Mazes and Labyrinths" an essential addition to the library of those curious about human experience and the built environment.

    An illuminating, insider's journey through the world of Little House on the Prairie and beyond, from Dean Butler, who starred as Almanzo Wilder on the iconic show still beloved by millions of fans as it reaches its fiftieth anniversary. 
     
     
     
    Cast just before his twenty-third birthday, Dean Butler joined Little House on the Prairie halfway through its run, gaining instant celebrity and fans' enduring affection. Now, with wit and candor, Butler recounts his passage through the Prairie, sharing stories and anecdotes of the remarkable cast who were his on-screen family. But that was merely the beginning of a diverse career that includes Broadway runs and roles on two other classic shows—Moondoggie in The New Gidget and Buffy's ne'er-do-well father, Hank, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Coming of age during a golden era of entertainment, Butler has evolved along with it, and today enjoys success and fulfillment as a director and producer—notably of NBC Golf's Feherty—while remaining deeply loyal to Little House. 
     
     
     
    The warmth, heart, and decency that fans of Laura and Almanzo fell in love with on Little House echo through this uplifting memoir, a story, in Butler's words, about "good luck, good television, and the very good—if gloriously imperfect—people who made it so."

    The architectural history of the Middle Ages is full of surprisesIt is hard to imagine today that relatively few construction plans have been found for the impressive churches and cathedrals of the Romanesque and Gothic periods. Where did most of the drawings go? Were the plans destroyed in Europe or lost over time? Or were they never made at all?Although there are very few architectural drawings, there were numerous compasses. What were they used for and how? Was it possible to design complex buildings such as churches and cathedrals without blueprints?The author takes her readers on an exciting cultural and historical journey through timeShe looks at the spread of papyrus, parchment and paper and traces the ability to write and calculate in Europe. She also looks at the construction process in historical illustrations and draws comparisons with Arabic architecture. Finally, the author presents the various types of compasses that were available and explains how the drawing skills of master builders developed up to the Renaissance.These insights into the history of architecture lead to some surprising discoveries: Architects of the Middle Ages thought and planned very differently from how we think today.Dr. Sonja Ulrike Klug has been studying medieval architecture for over 20 years. She has published several books on Gothic cathedrals.
