London's Hidden Burial Grounds (Paperback): Robert Bard, Adrian Miles London's Hidden Burial Grounds (Paperback)
Robert Bard, Adrian Miles
R453 R410 Discovery Miles 4 100 Save R43 (9%) Ships in 9 - 17 working days

It is fascinating to think that many hundreds of generations of Londoners lie beneath the city without us knowing. Over many centuries burial grounds have been developed, built over and then forgotten, often beneath playgrounds, gardens or car parks. When modern development takes place, remains are disturbed and we are reminded of a London that has long since disappeared, particularly with recent archaeological discoveries across the city. In London's Hidden Burial Grounds, authors Robert Bard and Adrian Miles seek to uncover many of the capital's lost graveyards, often in the unlikeliest of places.

Der vorliegende Band des "Kompendiums der Statik der Bau konstruktionen" behandelt die allgemeinen Methoden zur Berechnung statisch unbestimmter Systeme und im Zusammenhang damit die Untersuchung elastischer Formanderungen. Die Anwendung auf die Berechnung der wichtigeren Systeme solI getrennt flir sich in den folgenden Teilen besprochen werden. Zwei Einzelaufgaben bilden die Grundlage der Untersuchung statisch unbestimmter Systeme: die Berechnung der Formanderungen (Verschiebungen) und die Losung der Elastizitatsgleichungen. Dieser ZweiteiIung entspricht sowohl die Anordnung des Stoffes im vor liegenden allgemeinen Teil als ch der Rechnungsgang bei der Losung der verschiedenen Aufgaben. Zur Bestimmung der Formanderungen ist hier die sogenannte "Arbeitsgleichung" verwandt (Prinzip der virtuellen Arbeiten). Die darauf beruhende Rechnungsweise wird als das Maxwell-Mohrsche Verfahren bezeichnet. Jene Gleichung ist namlich von dem eng l lischen Physiker Clerk Maxwell aufgestellt worden ); unabhangig 2 von ihm hat sie spater Otto Mohr (Dresden) angegeben ), und erst hiernach fand sie Eingang in die Technik. Die von dem' itaIienischen Ingenieur Alberto Castiglia no auf gestellten und nach ihm benannten "Satze yom Minimum bzw. yom Differentialquotienten der Formanderungsarbeit" 3) konnen gleich falls bei den hier in Frage stehenden Aufgaben benutzt werden. In manchen Lehrblichern bilden denn auch die Castiglianoschen Lehr satze die Grundlage der Untersuchungen. Rier ist liber diese Satze nur das N otwendigste angeflihrt worden. Die Losung der Elastizitatsgleichungen soll durchweg nach einem Eliminationsverfahren erfolgen, welches an eine von Karl Fried rich GauE (1810) gelehrte Methode 4) anlehnt.

Authorized Heritage analyses the history of commemoration at heritage sites across western Canada. Using extensive research from predominantly government records, it argues that heritage narratives are almost always based on national messages that commonly reflect colonial perceptions of the past. Yet many of the places that commemorate Indigenous, fur trade, and settler histories are contested spaces, places such as Batoche, Seven Oaks, and Upper Fort Garry being the most obvious. At these heritage sites, Indigenous views of history confront the conventions of settler colonial pasts and represent the fluid cultural perspectives that should define the shifting ground of heritage space. Robert Coutts brings his many years of experience as a public historian to this detailed examination of heritage sites across the prairies. He shows how the process of commemoration often reflects social and cultural perspectives that privilege a conventional and conservative national narrative. He also examines how class, gender, and sexuality often remain apart from the heritage discourse. Most notably, Authorized Heritage examines how governments became the mediators of what is heritage and, just as significantly, what is not.

Monuments around the world have become the focus of intense and sustained discussions, activism, vandalism, and removal. Since the convulsive events of 2015 and 2017, during which white supremacists committed violence in the shadow of Confederate symbols, and the 2020 nationwide protests against racism and police brutality, protesters and politicians in the United States have removed Confederate monuments, as well as monuments to historical figures like Christopher Columbus and Dr. J. Marion Sims, questioning their legitimacy as present-day heroes that their place in the public sphere reinforces. The essays included in this anthology offer guidelines and case studies tailored for students and teachers to demonstrate how monuments can be used to deepen civic and historical engagement and social dialogue. Essays analyze specific controversies throughout North America with various outcomes as well as examples of monuments that convey outdated or unwelcome value systems without prompting debate.

The completion of David Chipperfield's distinctive new building for Kunsthaus Zurich in December 2020 has nearly doubled the museum's overall space. In combination with the preceding refurbishments of the earlier buildings, this has made it fit to meet the demands of an art museum in the 21st century. A sequel to The Architectural History of the Kunsthaus Zurich 1910-2020, this book comprehensively introduces the new Kunsthaus Zurich, demonstrating how the task of building an art museum in the 21st century can be fulfilled. Concise texts, statements by protagonists and by future users and visitors as well as numerous illustrations trace the project's evolution and the construction process and look at the completed building from various perspectives. The book also highlights what features contemporary museum infrastructure has to offer and the architectural and urban design qualities it requires, and what financial and organisational challenges the entire undertaking implied. A conversation between experts exploring the expanded museum's impact on its immediate neighbourhood and Zurich's urban fabric as a whole rounds out the volume.
