The House Tells the Story

The House Tells the Story

Adam Van Doren; David McCullough

David R. Godine Publisher Inc
2015
sidottu
“An utter delight...it opens windows into the history of this country by showing how some of this country’s makers and shapers lived.”—Wall Street Journal.From Teddy Roosevelt’s estate, Sagamore Hill, on Long Island to Harry Truman’s humble home in Independence, Missouri, here are the homes—inside and out—of 15 American presidents through an artist's eyes. Adam Van Doren has a deep appreciation for architecture and the ways people shape their environments. About Mount Vernon: “Subtler touches, like the cupola, the faux rustication, and the red roof are all evidence of Washington’s refined sense of how to transform an ordinary farmhouse into a stately manor.” At Franklin Roosevelt’s Hyde Park home, Van Doren emphasizes its accommodations for F.D.R.’s wheelchair. From Monticello in Virginia to Wheatland, the Pennsylvania home of James Buchanan, to Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas – plus the White House, where all but the first president lived – Van Doren records each home’s style and heritage. All giving the reader a fresh look at America’s presidents and their lives and times.

The Layered Garden

The Layered Garden

Adam Levine; David L. Culp

Timber Press
2012
sidottu
“Gardenmaking, in its finest form, is a celebration of life and of love. David and his book epitomize this.” —Lauren Springer Ogden Brandywine Cottage is David Culp's beloved two-acre Pennsylvania garden where he mastered the design technique of layering—interplanting many different species in the same area so that as one plant passes its peak, another takes over. The result is a nonstop parade of color that begins with a tapestry of heirloom daffodils and hellebores in spring and ends with a jewel-like blend of Asian wildflowers at the onset of winter.The Layered Garden shows you how to recreate Culp's majestic display. It starts with a basic lesson in layering—how to choose the correct plants by understanding how they grow and change throughout the seasons, how to design a layered garden, and how to maintain it. To illustrate how layering works, Culp takes you on a personal tour through each part of his celebrated garden: the woodland garden, the perennial border, the kitchen garden, the shrubbery, and the walled garden. The book culminates with a chapter dedicated to signature plants for all four seasons.

Quasi Judicial Handbook: A Guide for Boards Making Development Regulation Decisions

Quasi Judicial Handbook: A Guide for Boards Making Development Regulation Decisions

Adam Lovelady; David W. Owens

Unc School of Government
2024
nidottu
As its name suggests, a quasi-judicial decision is like a court decision because it requires the deciding board to use its judgment in applying general law to a particular land use situation while ensuring the constitutional due process rights of the parties. The Quasi-Judicial Handbook provides guidance to the boards in North Carolina that make these development regulation decisions. It outlines the steps that need to be followed before, during, and after an evidentiary hearing and closely examines the decision-making process itself. Four types of quasi-judicial decisions are explored in detail: variances, special use permits, certificates of appropriateness, and appeals of zoning determinations. Other topics include the role and organization of boards of adjustment and judicial review. This revised edition incorporates statutory and case law updates through July 2023, including the adoption of Chapter 160D in 2019.

Religion and Change in Australia

Religion and Change in Australia

Adam Possamai; David Tittensor

Allen Unwin
2022
sidottu
This timely book offers a panoramic overview of the enduring significance of religion in Australia. Drawing on both foundational and contemporary studies of religion and society, it contests conventional assumptions around the extent of secularisation in Australia and instead argues that religious institutions, groups, and individuals have proved remarkably adaptable to social change and continue to play a major role in Australian life. After the Second World War, Australia, in common with other Western societies, appeared to have become increasingly secularised. Religious observance declined dramatically, and it was commonplace to speak of Australia in the post-war period as a secular society. However, Religion and Change in Australia challenges this view. The 2016 census revealed that over half of the population still identify as Christian, whilst in politics, the religious right has come to exert considerable influence on the Liberal-National Coalition, and has led to a normalisation of religion in political discourse. Further, new technologies, such as the internet and social media, have provided additional avenues for religious expression and proselytization, in conjunction with so-called ‘Mega-Churches’ that have been built to cater to their increasing congregations. The adoption of multiculturalism and immigration from Asia has also led to a religiously pluralist society, though this has often been controversial. In particular, the position of Islam in Australia has been the subject of fierce debate and Islamophobic attitudes still remain. Atheism, non-belief and alternative spiritualities have also become increasingly widespread, especially amongst the young. Given these developments, and firmly grounded in history, Religion and Change in Australia argues that if Australia is today a post-secular society, the processes of desecularisation are not uniform, and have manifested differently at the micro, meso and macro level. In doing so, it draws on sociological perspectives and explores how religion intersects with a wide range of other contemporary issues, including politics, race, migration, gender, and new media. This book is therefore a vital resource for students, academics and general readers seeking to understand contemporary debates surrounding religion and secularisation in Australia.

The MindCoach System

The MindCoach System

Adam Kripke; David Loshelder

Freeze Time Media
2021
pokkari
There are many great books out there that can help us to improve ourselves. Some of them help with goal setting. Others help with health or finances. Others help with specific psychological issues, time management, or certain occupations and industries. However, few (if any) of them take a whole-life approach to personal transformation. The MindCoach System is different. This book demystifies the process of personal transformation by getting to the core of what drives us, what guides us to success, and what gets in our way. It teaches the reader simple methods of self-mastery that can lead us to a new level of clarity and control. As you move through the 7 steps and repeat the process regularly, the simple but profound exercises can become part of your daily habits. Once these habits become part of your mind, coaching yourself to stay on the path for success and happiness will be as natural as breathing.

Minds Beyond Time

Minds Beyond Time

Adam Douglas Heyes; David L Laing

Cosmic Art Center
2023
pokkari
From the imagination of visionary (and somewhat eccentric) writer and artist David L. Laing comes Minds Beyond Time: A Cosmic Colloquium, a fanciful colloquy among some of history's most notable minds.What would happen if history's greatest thinkers, philosophers, scientists, artists, musicians, writers, religious figures, political leaders, tyrants, and villains, along with a few deities, archetypes, and mythological beings for good measure, came together, beyond the confines of time and space, for just one day? Author Laing's answer is Minds Beyond Time, an illuminating, entertaining and delightfully bizarre thought experiment from the depths of his wild imagination.Imagine a school run by Professor Plato, where students like Freud, Mozart, Socrates, King Solomon, Da Vinci, Jesus, Buddha, and Shakespeare engage in a spirited classroom debate, while Ocar Wilde quips, Isadora Duncan dances down the aisles, and Bach serves coffee. In the courtyard, the "troubled kids" like Hitler, Stalin, Nero, Trotsky and Genghis Khan gang up with Satan to argue world domination strategies while Dali smokes a peace pipe with Black Elk and Hannibal rides an elephant. Imagine a school where the popular girls are Joan of Arc, Cleopatra, Nefertiti, Catherine the Great, and Mother Mary, and the class clown is the literal embodiment of "The Fool" archetype.This is a small glimpse into a day in the life at Plato's Academy. Written in the form of a Platonic Dialog between these notable figures and many, many others, the magical realism in Minds Beyond Time allows each character to embody their most essential nature, and engage with other luminaries from different eras and corners of the world that would be otherwise impossible. The dialog and interactions that unfold give insight into each person's life, as they explore their thoughts and theories, share their histories and notable quotations, and demonstrate their quirks and eccentricities.Unbound from the constraints of time and space, they explore the nature of reality, mind, art, society, religion and the great mysteries of life together. Some inspire each other and expand their minds by sharing ideas. Some argue bitterly and attempt to discredit each other. Some dance, sing, create and laugh together. Some tease and bully and plot each other's destruction. There's no limit to what can happen in Plato's Academy Laing invites the reader to suspend disbelief, embrace the impossible, and let your imagination and curiosity guide you through this one of a kind journey.

The Linguistic Worldview

The Linguistic Worldview

Adam Glaz; David Danaher; Przemyslaw Lozowski

De Gruyter
2013
sidottu
the book is concerned with the linguistic worldview broadly understood, but it focuses on one particular variant of the idea, its sources, extensions, its critical assessment, and inspirations for related research. This approach is the ethnolinguistic linguistic worldview (LWV) program pursued in Lublin, Poland, and initiated and headed by Jerzy Bartminski. In its basic design, the volume emerged from the theme of the conference held in Lublin in October 2011: "The linguistic worldview or linguistic views of worlds?" If the latter is the case, then what worlds? Is it a case of one language/one worldview? Are there literary or poetic worldviews? Are there auctorial worldviews? Many of the chapters are based on presentations from that conference, and others have been written especially for the volume. Generally, there are four kinds of contributions: (i) a presentation and exemplification of the "Lublin style" LWV approach; (ii) studies inspired by this approach but not following it in detail; (iii) independent but related and compatible research; and (iv) a critical reappraisal of some specific ideas proposed by Jerzy Bartminski and his collaborators.

In the Middle of the Fight

In the Middle of the Fight

David E. Johnson; Adam Grissom; Olga Oliker

RAND
2008
pokkari
The authors find that medium-armored forces fare poorly against competent, heavily armored opponents, and that the Stryker and Future Combat Systems will not fill the void created by the retirement of the M551 Sheridan. An analysis of the performance of medium-armored forces across the range of military operations since World War I yields insights with significant implications for U.S. Army decisions about fielding these units in the Future Force.
