From the Introduction Como's Asilo D'Infanzia Sant'Elia occupies a unique position in the oeuvre of Giuseppe Terragni. Executed between his two most celebrated works, the Casa del Fascio of 1932, and the Casa Giuliani Frigerio of 1939, Terragni was possibly at the apex of his architectural prowess, via imagination and creativity, at its execution. The building itself is a physical manifestation encompassing Terrangni's seminal ideas and theories on architecture and urbanism. ...] The Asilo, a public nursery school, was a relatively modest project, situated in a working class quarter of Como, just south of the city walls. Its humble location alone rendered the project a departure from the conspicuously public site of the Casa del Fascio, located directly behind the Duomo in the center of town. ...] It is one of the few projects that utilize all of Terragni's architectural canons. It remains the only built project that is neither a casa del fascio, nor a tomb or residential project. The Asilo remains a building largely ignored by both the academy and the architecture profession. However, this humble yet monumental building holds within it a culmination of the lessons and ideas of one of the modern architectural masters of the twentieth century. Careful analysis of this building reveals moments where architecture and meaning come together with both subtlety and consequence. ...] This building represents an unadulterated intellectual exercise where construction, technique, and art are held in careful balance. Marcello Piacentini, the most powerful and influential of all the Italian Fascist architects, known best for the Palazzo di Giustizia in Milan and La Sapienza University of Rome, proposed dividing the built environment into one of two types. The first type is clothed in 'underwear', referring to its need for rationalism and structure, and the other clothed in 'evening dress', based on primarily the use of sumptuous materiality. Terragni's Asilo maintains its own category, clothed in a simple white pinafore, a child's smock, similar to those once worn by the very students who have occupied its halls. This nursery school still appears as decidedly modern and relevant as the day it was completed. What Others Say About the Book: In Rationalism and Poetry we finally get an update to the voluminous Schumacher works from the early 1990s] and, this time, rendered from an architect's perspective. Where Schumacher conducted a historian's reconstruction, Andrews draws for us an architect's analysis. He minutely examines, and often diagrams, the corpus of each building-not in relationship to history but relative to the bodies of other buildings both historic and contemporary. In this concise volume, each chapter becomes a frame for considering one aspect of Terragni's enigmatic design. Robert Miller, Tucson As pointed out by Igor Stravinsky, in the first page of his book Poetics of Music, "poetic" is a word related to the concept of "making", of "doing". Brian Andrews ...] uses the tool of drawing to dissect the Asilo Sant'Elia, unveiling the compositional principles, the design strategies and the hidden geometries, recognizing the parts and elements, exposing the mechanisms of this particular "machine for teaching and learning". At the same time the author's reflections on the urban issues ...], Terragni's proximity to the world of art (Radice, of course, and the other members of the "Astrattismo Comasco" movement, with a fertile cross-pollination between painting and architecture), the reference to the Italian architectural tradition (Michelangelo, the reinterpretation of classical architectural themes), complete Andrews' lively and affectionate portrait of Terragni, an architect who preferred to make architecture (with a strong and personal poetic), instead of being a theoretician.

A fresh, no-nonsense parenting guide that shows you how to become a great parent (even if you didn't have one yourself). Many of us didn't have a perfect childhood. But it's never too late (or too early ) to transform into the parent you were always meant to be--grounded, present, intentional, compassionate, and confident. In Parent Yourself First, licensed marriage and family therapist Bryana Kappadakunnel argues that the secret to successful parenting is to UN-learn the wounded patterns you grew up with and create new ways to connect with your child. Parenting from a place of connection may feel unlike anything you experienced as a child or what you thought parenting was meant to be. But the results can be remarkable--and transformative. As the founder of the popular Conscious Mommy community on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, Kappadakunnel explains that your upbringing is probably impacting your parenting style in ways you don't even fully recognize, from how you manage your own emotions to how you connect with your kids in their vulnerable moments. In Parent Yourself First, she shares powerful stories from the families she's counseled and practical tools for managing common parenting woes like tantrums and defiance. Her promise: You can break free of past patterns that no longer serve you and liberate your soul from old traumas and wounds. Everyone has baggage. But it's your responsibility to make sure your baggage doesn't become your child's problem. Healing yourself allows you to truly connect with your child; understand their needs; and guide them to live the happy, authentic life that they deserve.

Bennu, named for the ancient Egyptian phoenix, was the chosen destination of OSIRIS-REx, NASA’s premier mission of asteroid exploration, launched in 2016. Study of the asteroid is important in safeguarding the future of planet Earth, but Bennu is also a time capsule from the dawn of our Solar System, holding secrets over four-and-a-half billion years old about the origin of life and Earth as a habitable planet.In 2020 the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft successfully landed on the surface of Bennu and collected pristine asteroid material for delivery to Earth in September 2023. Scientific studies of the samples, along with data collected during the rendezvous, promise to help find answers to some of humanity’s deepest questions: Where did we come from? What is our destiny in space?This book, the world’s first complete (and stereoscopic) atlas of an asteroid, is the result of a unique collaboration between OSIRIS-REx mission leader Dante Lauretta and Brian May’s London Stereoscopic Company. Lauretta’s colleagues include Carina Bennett, Kenneth Coles, and Cat Wolner, as well as Brian May and Claudia Manzoni, who became part of the ultimately successful effort to find a safe landing site for sampling. The text details the data collected by the mission so far, and the stereo images have been meticulously created by Manzoni and May from original images collected by the OSIRIS-REx cameras.
