Sinopsis

"Londinium, Architecture and the Crafts" by W. R. Lethaby presents a nuanced exploration of the architectural and artisanal heritage of Roman London. Employing a richly descriptive prose style, Lethaby delves into the interplay between architecture and craftsmanship, examining how local materials and techniques shaped the urban landscape. The book is firmly rooted in the context of late 19th-century scholarship, marking a period when the revival of interest in classical antiquity was intertwined with the burgeoning Arts and Crafts movement, lending the text both scholarly rigor and an appreciation for the aesthetic dimensions of London'Äôs historic fabric. W. R. Lethaby was a prominent figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, whose fascination with medieval and Renaissance influences infused his architectural philosophy. His experience as an architect and educator, amassed through his involvement with numerous art and architectural institutions, undoubtedly provided him with a discerning eye for both craftsmanship and historical accuracy. Lethaby'Äôs commitment to the integration of art and utility reflects his broader vision for a society that honors its cultural heritage while embracing innovation. This volume is indispensable for anyone interested in the intersection of history, architecture, and craft. Lethaby'Äôs insights not only illuminate the physical remnants of Londinium but also evoke a sense of the lives and skills that contributed to its creation. Readers will find their understanding of urban heritage enriched, gaining a deeper appreciation for the enduring legacy of London'Äôs architectural evolution.

    Schizophrenia is a complex and often misunderstood mental health disorder that affects a person’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is characterized by episodes of psychosis, which can include hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and impaired social functioning. While schizophrenia is a chronic condition, with proper treatment and support, many individuals can manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives. 
    Schizophrenia does not manifest in the same way for everyone. Some individuals may experience severe and persistent symptoms, while others may have periods of stability with occasional relapses. The disorder typically emerges in late adolescence or early adulthood, although it can develop later in life. Early detection and intervention are crucial in improving long-term outcomes. 
    There are several subtypes of schizophrenia, each presenting with different symptom patterns. Paranoid schizophrenia, once considered a distinct type, involves intense delusions and auditory hallucinations, often revolving around themes of persecution. Disorganized schizophrenia is marked by disorganized speech, erratic behavior, and difficulty with daily activities. Catatonic schizophrenia presents with extreme motor disturbances, including periods of excessive movement or complete immobility. While these classifications have evolved in recent psychiatric frameworks, they still help in understanding the diverse ways schizophrenia can manifest.

    The world-renowned economist offers "dourly irreverent analyses of financial debacle from the tulip craze of the seventeenth century to the recent plague of junk bonds." —The Atlantic. 
     
     
     
    With incomparable wisdom, skill, and wit, world-renowned economist John Kenneth Galbraith traces the history of the major speculative episodes in our economy over the last three centuries. Exposing the ways in which normally sane people display reckless behavior in pursuit of profit, Galbraith asserts that our "notoriously short" financial memory is what creates the conditions for market collapse. By recognizing these signs and understanding what causes them we can guard against future recessions and have a better hold on our country's (and our own) financial destiny.

    American Dream Come True - Why...

    What if there were one single way we could significantly improve the American economy, public health, and offer attractive investment opportunities, while also providing more homes for American families and workers? 
     
    The American Dream has always been built on the notion that no matter where you come from, you can be successful. For the past century, housing has played a major role in making the American Dream a reality for millions of individuals. In short, the availability of affordable housing stands at the crossroads of capitalism and compassion. 
     
    In American Dream Come True, Tony Bertoldi leverages over two decades’ worth of experience in affordable housing to explain in clear and entertaining prose what affordable housing really is and who it impacts. Spoiler alert: all of us. 
     
    By debunking the common misconceptions about affordable housing, Bertoldi shows how supporting affordable housing is a benefit for the entire American ecosystem, and where you fit in. From addressing inflation, job creation, and creative ESG strategy, to reducing health costs for American taxpayers, Bertoldi shows how the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC, pronounced LI-Tec) program creates a more balanced society where people from all backgrounds can work, live, and contribute to their community and to the health of the American economy. 
     
    If there is any truth to the phrase “home is where the heart is,” then the call to action for all of us is the same—to put our heart into creating more affordable homes. It’s good for individuals. Good for families. Good for health. Good for business. Good for America.
