The Anatomy of Architecture: Ontology and Metaphor in Batammaliba Architectural Expression

The Anatomy of Architecture: Ontology and Metaphor in Batammaliba Architectural Expression Review

The Anatomy of Architecture: Ontology and Metaphor in Batammaliba Architectural Expression Feature

Blier illuminates the extraordinary architecture of the Batammaliba people of Western Africa, revealing these buildings as texts through which we can read the beliefs, psychology, traditions, and social concerns of their inhabitants. In doing so, she explores the role of vernacular architecture as an expression of culture.

"A splendid analysis of the centrality of architecture in the daily lives of the Batammaliba and its integral role in articulating social values....The story is beautifully told in the best of anthropological traditions."—Judith R. Blau, Contemporary Society

"A remarkable study....Blier's volume carries the study of African architecture to a qualitatively new level of scholarship. It introduces a new dimension whereby the architectural medium can be used to illuminate much of the entire belief system of any culture."—Labelle Prussin, African Arts

"In this excellent book Blier provides a richly detailed and searching account of what architecture means to the Batammaliba of northern Togo and Benin....The finest account I have yet read of the relations between systems of beliefs, ritual practices, and African aesthetics and plastic arts....The ethnography and basic insight should be the envy of any social anthropologist."—T.O. Beidelman, Man

Microwave Radio Transmission Design Guide (Artech House Microwave Library) Feature

This reference provides advice and instruction for the planning and detailed design of microwave radio transmission systems. It should be useful for readers planning SDH/SONET broadband networks, backhaul for mobile radio networks such as GSM, transmission links for TETRA networks, TV and utility networks, and Wireless Local Loop networks. The author provides practical guidelines based on hands-on experience. Complex mathematics is avoided and fundamental concepts are explained in the context of real-world applications to encourage a deeper understanding of microwave radio transmission. In addition, the volume serves as a guide to frequency planning for radio networks and provides intelligence on digital radio equipment characteristics and fading in radio systems.

Sordid Images: The Poetry of Masculine Desire

Sordid Images: The Poetry of Masculine Desire Review

See more picture

Sordid Images: The Poetry of Masculine Desire Feature

In this extraordinary and bold book, S.H. Clark explores and constructs a history of poetic misogyny. For the first time, a wide range of English poetry by men is examined for evidence of the articulation of heterosexual masculine desires.
But Clark goes beyond a straightforward oppositional model of reading the male canon, to ask how we read this work 'after feminism', and whether it is possible to value these texts as misogynist texts in the light of feminist theory?
Sordid Images is a challenging, controversial book. It will excite and unsettle its readers, and inspire many to look again at some of the cornerstone works of English literature.

Uplift, Erosion & Stability: Perspectives on Long-Term Landscape Evolution (Geological Society Special Publication) Feature

An Interdisciplinary collection of papers related to long-term landscape development, integrating landscape and tectonic processes. The presentations demonstrate that studies of present-day processes can be successfully placed within an evolutionary framework and geological setting, the necessity of which increases as appreciation of the antiquity of many landscapes grows. Coverage includes: British Isles, NW Europe, Mediterranean Basin, Middle East, Himalaya, Andes and Antarctica.The papers highlight the significance of recent advances in analytical technology for improving interpretation of both geologically 'ancient' and 'young' landscapes. It is hoped that, by demonstrating the benefits of interdisciplinary discourse, a widening interest in landscape studies will be encouraged.

Readership: Physical geologists; Geomorphologists; Geochronologists and Tectonic Geologists. Principle Authors: B. J. Smith, The Queen's University of Belfast, UKD. K. C. Jones, London School of Economics, UK. P. Walsh, Uniwersytet Slaski, Poland. Y. Battiau-Queney, University of Science and Technology Lille, France. V. Puura, Tallinn Technical University, Estonia. K.

Cell-Cell Channels (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit) Feature

This book covers cell-cell channels at all levels of biological organization. The purpose of this book is to document that cells are not physically separated and fully autonomous units of biological life as stated by the currently valid Cell Theory. If not the cell then some lower level unit must fulfill this role. The book deals also with the identity of this elusive unit of biological life.
