This is the first in-depth study of how the architectural profession emerged in early American history. Mary Woods dispels the prevailing notion that the profession developed under the leadership of men formally schooled in architecture as an art during the late nineteenth century. Instead, she cites several instances in the early 1800s of craftsmen-builders who shifted their identity to that of professional architects. While struggling to survive as designers and supervisors of construction projects, these men organized professional societies and worked for architectural education, appropriate compensation, and accreditation.

In the communications network of the twenty-first century, urban cultures will form the matrix of social and intellectual evolution. Nearly half the world's people now live in cities. 1 And though excessive urbanization is a chief factor in the global environmental crisis, the growth of cities is the dominant demographic trend of the future.2 It is from cities, large and small, that ideas and values will emerge which could well determine the fate of both humankind and the natural environment as we know it.

India is a lively and diverse country that in recent years has developed into one of the largest industrialized nations in the world. This process is also reflected in its architecture. Recent developments betray a new consciousness and the search for an Indian identity. International influences are merging with traditional styles to create a unique new architectural language, which also bears the stamp of Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn, who worked there.
In its introduction, the book depicts the rise of modern architecture in India since independence in 1947. The main section describes the important tendencies of contemporary Indian architecture in thematic chapters, each with built examples. In addition to the new younger generation of Indian architects, it also considers the first post-independence generation, including Balkrishna Doshi and Charles Correa.

Two of the most ambitious religious edifices of the 20th century are the Our Lady of Peace Basilica in the West African country of the Ivory Coast and the Hassan II Mosque in Morocco. Nnamdi Elleh not only provides a substantial architectural and pictorial analysis of the buildings themselves. Using these two buildings as case studies, he investigates the relationships and implications of national memory, urban form, architectural styles, concepts of democracy, social hierarchies as well as elites who make the decisions to build Africa's post-independence monuments and capital cities.

Автор этой книги, академик Е.А.Федосов, - генеральный директор одного из ведущих научных центров страны, знаменитого ГосНИИАС (Государственный научно-исследовательский институт авиационных систем), который уже более полувека является головным в области создания комплексов авиационного вооружения. В книге последовательно, десятилетие за десятилетием, отражены основные этапы послевоенного развития нашей боевой авиации и систем ее вооружения. Перед читателем развертывается целая галерея ярких личностей - генеральные конструкторы и летчики-испытатели, руководители авиапрома и командование ВВС. Эта книга - убедительное свидетельство того, что пресловутая "эпоха застоя" (конец 60-х - начало 70-х годов) на самом деле была наиболее бурным, драматичным и результативным периодом развития нашей авиации, плодами которого до сих пор живет и еще долго будет жить эта отрасль. Для широкого круга читателей.
