Palladio's Children: Essays on Everyday Environment and the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Habraken, N. J. / Teicher, Jonathan, PUBLISHER: Routledge, Based on many years of personal observation, Palladio's ong>Childrenong> critically examines the role of the architect as a professional descendent of Palladio, and as an heir to his architectural legacy. Seven innovative and carefully crafted ong>essaysong> explore the widening ideological schism between today's architects whose core values, identity and education remain rooted in the Renaissance legacy of creating artful 'masterpieces', and the practical demands on a profession which acts within an evolving, ubiquitous and autonomous built environment or 'field'. Clearly written yet expressing complex, evolving ideas, this extended argument opens a new forum of debate across design theory, professional practice and academic issues. Moving the subject on from a historical perspective, Habraken shows how architects are increasingly involved in the design of everyday buildings. This must lead to a reassessment of architects' identities, values and education, and the contribution of the architect in the shaping of the built environment.

The importance of yuyo -- the distance where an attacker must focus his strike -- from the story of Jubei, where his mastery and control of yuyo determined his victory. The significance of ma -- the space in time between successive attacks or between a defense and a counter -- through the story of Yamada Shinryukan, whose exploitation of ma led him to his death. With its focus on traditional martial arts, and fascinating stories that illustrate key martial arts principles, Traditions will be required reading for serious martial artists.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Horney, Karen / Paris, Bernard, PUBLISHER: Yale University Press, This volume of writings by the distinguished psychoanalyst Karen Horney () completes the publication of her unpublished and uncollected work. It includes pieces on feminine psychology and the relations between the sexes as well as on other aspects of psychoanalytic theory.

Part 2 deepens our understanding of the final two phases of Karen Horney's thought -- her break with Freud and proposal of a new psychoanalytic paradigm in the s, and her mature theory, developed in the s. In presenting eighteen previously unpublished pieces, four ong>essaysong> that have not been available in English, and other texts that have been difficult to locate, this collection makes accessible an important segment of Horney's work.
