Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Democratizing Global Media explores the complex relationship
between globalizing media and the spread of democracy around the
world. An international, interdisciplinary group of journalists and
scholars discusses key and often contentious issues such as the
power of media, the benefits of media globalization, and the
political role of media. More than a critique, Democratizing Global
Media offers positive alternatives, from peace journalism to
popular movements toward democratizing media and public
communication.
This collection of literature attempts to compile many of the
classic, timeless works that have stood the test of time and offer
them at a reduced, affordable price, in an attractive volume so

CHAPTER II. LOCALITIES AND SITES. In the first chapter we were
considering points on which we could expect to receive little
assistance from our friends. They were essentially personal
questions, but when we have once settled them satisfactorily, much
help may be gleaned from the advice and experience of others. At
the same time it should be remembered that no one else has exactly
the same view of life as we have; and the greatest care should,
therefore, be exercised to retain our own ideal and personality.
Many, for instance, will be carried away by some feature in a
friend's house, or effect in an old garden, and will endeavour to
adapt their scheme to include it, too often with the result that
the house is built round one feature, and that unsuited to the site
selected. When the choice of site is under discussion, and all
through the building of the house, our individual ideas and general
scheme must be kept constantly to the front, or the inevitable
result will be a patchwork of bits obtained from other houses.
Although it is the keynote of many designs of recent years,
architecture is something far higher and nobler than the cleverest
patchwork. A SMALL HOUSE AT WEMBLEY, DESIGNED BY MR. H.
FARQUHARSON. It siands on a site only 36 feet wide, between an old

made of a new suburban "villa." The house is " roughcast" with a
brick base, and a roof covered with old tiles. A plan is given on
page 14. (.Plate II. to face p. 12. In the choice of a locality and
site, however, we must be somewhat dependent on the advice of
friends, for it may happen that, while the question of county or
district has been settled on the first thought of building, we know
the selected neighbourhood but slightly. S...
