Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2005. Softcover. Near Fine Condition. From the author of the bestseller "Ecohouse", this challenging and exciting text gives you an insight into the real changes that are necessary to give our modern day built environment both 'sustainability' and 'survivability'. The book is based on the premise that climate change is going to happen and its impacts on our lives are going to be far worse than generally expected. Sue Roaf argues that many modern buildings are not only 'unsustainable' in themselves but are also having a catastrophic effect on the global climate. In a unique argument, she illustrates that the only way we can hope to survive the following century in tact is if we not only begin to radically reduce CO2 emissions from our buildings and stop building climatically disastrous building types but also build only the buildings that can survive in the changed climates of the future.Throughout the book, traditional and modern… Read More

NLF, 2006. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. Illustrator: Giancarlo Bertuzzi,Nicoletta Perazzoli, Renzo Marchionni [Photographs]. This book is a collection of beautiful images from three skillfull photographers of the castles of Parma and Piancenza. "The Duchy of Parma and the Duchy of Piacenza were defined right from the Longobard era but the ruling dukes were always foreign. The two duchies were finally united under the single rod of order held by the Visconti family, Piacenza in 1335 and Parma in 1346, thus following the fate of first dictated by Milan, and then by the papacy. Castles therefore were both a dream and a failure. They bore witness to conflicts between local feudal lords hoping to affirm an impossible supremacy, playing with all the cards that ruthless and courageous men could put on the table: audacity, alliances, matrimony, relationships, hazardous adventures, quick and easy accumulation of wealth, no strategy was excluded. This volume presents each… Read More

Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London, 1997. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Illustrator: John Miller [Photographs]. England, Scotland and Wales together possess one of the largest and most impressive collections of castles anywhere in the world. Synonymous with romance, Battle and intrigue, these castles play a key role in British history. In this book each stage of their development is traced - from numerous Bronze and iron Age hill forts, through Plantagenet and Edwardian consolidation and expansion, through the appalling devastation of the Civil War, to the lavishly ornate structures of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Paul Johnson explores the role of the castle in society and the increasingly sophisticated methods employed defending them. The book ends with a look at the restoration of several important castles in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, as well as the building of some extraordinary mock castles such as Castle Drogo in Devon and Castell Coch in Wales. A useful… Read More
