In 1859, the legendary Frank Jones Brewery was founded in
Portsmouth, paving the way for the booming craft beer scene of
today. The surge of budding breweries is bringing exciting styles
and flavors to thirsty local palates and neighborhood bars from the
White Mountains to the seacoast. Join beer scholars and adventurers
Brian Aldrich and Michael Meredith as they explore all of the
tastes New Hampshire beer has to offer. They've scoured the taps at
Martha's Exchange, peeked around the brew house at Smuttynose and
gotten personal with the brewers behind Flying Goose and Moat
Mountain. Discover, pint for pint, the craft and trade of the
state's unique breweries, from the up-and-comers like Earth Eagle
and Schilling to old stalwarts like Elm City and Portsmouth
Brewery.
This comprehensive catalogue of contemporary work examines the
renewed investment in the relationship between representation,
materiality, and architecture. It assembles a range of diverse
voices across various institutions, practices, generations, and
geographies, through specific case studies that collectively
present a broader theoretical intention.
Beginning with material, this book revolves around physical
material making and design decisions that emerge from material
interaction.
Combining essays from both practice and academia, this book
presents some of the most significant projects and thoughts on
materiality from the last decade. Beautifully illustrated with a
great deal of technical information throughout, it shows work,
technical technique and process, and positions it within a broader
theoretical intention.
By assembling a range of voices, here is a multifaceted portrait
of material design today. Students and design professionals alike
should find in this book an essential resource for understanding
this increasingly important aspect of design.

Ocean Mixing: Drivers, Mechanisms and Impacts presents a broad
panorama of one of the most rapidly-developing areas of marine
science. It highlights the state-of-the-art concerning knowledge of
the causes of ocean mixing, and a perspective on the implications
for ocean circulation, climate, biogeochemistry and the marine
ecosystem. This edited volume places a particular emphasis on
elucidating the key future questions relating to ocean mixing, and
emerging ideas and activities to address them, including innovative
technology developments and advances in methodology. Ocean Mixing
is a key reference for those entering the field, and for those
seeking a comprehensive overview of how the key current issues are
being addressed and what the priorities for future research are.
Each chapter is written by established leaders in ocean mixing
research; the volume is thus suitable for those seeking specific
detailed information on sub-topics, as well as those seeking a
broad synopsis of current understanding. It provides useful
ammunition for those pursuing funding for specific future research
campaigns, by being an authoritative source concerning key
scientific goals in the short, medium and long term. Additionally,
the chapters contain bespoke and informative graphics that can be
used in teaching and science communication to convey the complex
concepts and phenomena in easily accessible ways.

"Platform 2" provides a sampling of the most salient research and
design explorations undertaken at the Harvard Graduate School of
Design (GSD) during the 2008-2009 academic year. Organized
thematically, the publication identifies underlying congruencies
among studio work, theses, research, lectures, conferences, and
writings to unfold some of the many critical ideas and interests
currently being explored in the School. Ranging in scope from
detailed material fabrication to large-scale territorial and
infrastructural strategies, the work spans a broad and diverse set
of geographies and scenarios. In documenting this work, the
publication archives and disseminates the rich intellectual
momentum of the GSD. With contributions by Dirk Sijmons, Sissel
Tolaas, Scheri Fultiner, Louisa Hutton, Matthias Sauerbruch, Judith
Grant Long, Jose Luis Vallejo / Belinda Tato, Joshua Prince Ramus,
Chris Reed, among others.
More than 1,000 representations of the human figure in
architectural drawings by architects ranging from Aalto to Zumthor,
removed from their architectural context. Michael Meredith, Hilary
Sample, and MOS present their rich findings on the human presence
in architectural drawings not in any chronological or other linear
order, but based on the convention of the encyclopedia, thus
presenting (and perhaps deliberately condoning) surprise encounters
made possible by the contingency created by alphabetical order.....
From the contemporary perspective of a pluralistic world, the form
of the encyclopedia may be particularly apt to represent such a
vast body of material as is presented here: defying any linear
historical account or master narrative, it invites the reader to
construct his or her own readings of the material by establishing
relationships between individual drawings. -From the foreword by
Martino Stierli Throughout history, across radically different
movements in Western culture, the human figure appears and
reappears, in multiple guises, to remind us, the observers, of
architectural purpose and of our mutual position in the
world....This encyclopedia has enlarged or reduced all figures to
the same approximate scale. Meredith, Sample, and MOS have gathered
them here in an unprecedented, intoxicating way, like being at a
fabulous party. -From the afterword by Raymund Ryan Architects draw
buildings, and the buildings they draw are usually populated by
representations of the human figure-drawn, copied, collaged, or
inserted-most often to suggest scale. It is impossible to represent
architecture without representing the human form. This book
collects more than 1,000 scale figures by 250 architects but
presents them in a completely unexpected way: it removes them from
their architectural context, displaying them on the page,
buildingless, giving them lives of their own. They are presented
not thematically or chronologically but encyclopedically,
alphabetically by architect (Aalto to Zumthor). In serendipitous
juxtapositions, the autonomous human figures appear and reappear,
displaying endless variations of architecturally rendered human
forms. Some architects' figures are casually srcawled; others are
drawn carefully by hand or manipulated by Photoshop; some are
collaged and pasted, others rendered in charcoal or watercolors.
Leon Battista Alberti presents a trident-bearing god; the Ant Farm
architecture group provides a naked John and Yoko; Archigram
supplies its Air Hab Village with a photograph of a happy family.
Without their architectural surroundings, the scale figures present
themselves as architecture's refugees. They are the necessary but
often overlooked reference points that give character to spaces
imagined for but not yet occupied by humans. Here, they constitute
a unique sourcebook and an architectural citizenry of their own.
