First Published in 1963. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor and
Francis, an informa company.
First published in 1963. This volume is an historical look at the
succession of war and trade of the West Indies from 1739 to 1763,
combining law, politics, narrative and the structure of the
society.
This description of British politics from 1760 to 1832 deals with
the reasons why people went into politics, the functions of party
and patronage, and the balance of power between King, Lords and
Commons. George III is the central figure of the work and the
author discusses the King's conception of his mission and his
struggles with "that hydra faction". The appointment and dismissal
of ministries and the King's relations with the Cabinet are
considered in more detail. The book concludes with some suggestions
about the termination of the conflict and the development of a new
order of things. This book was first published in 1953 and is being
made available after 10 years out of print.
The most thoroughgoing survey of nearly all of Le Corbusier's
extant projects, beautifully photographed and authoritatively
detailed. Le Corbusier is widely acknowledged as the most
influential architect of the twentieth century. As extensively
researched and documented as his works are, however, they have
never been exhaustively surveyed in photographs until now.
Photographer Richard Pare has crossed the globe for years to
document the extant works of Le Corbusier - from his first villas
in Switzerland to his mid-career works in his role as the first
global architect in locations as far-flung as Argentina and Russia,
and his late works, including his sole North American project, at
Harvard University, and an extensive civic plan for Chandigarh,
India. Le Corbusier: The Built Work provides numerous views of each
project to bring a fuller understanding of the architect's command
of space, sometimes surprising use of materials and color, and the
almost ineffable qualities that only result from a commanding
synthesis of all aspects of design. With an authoritative text by
scholar and curator Jean-Louis Cohen, Le Corbusier: The Built Work
is a groundbreaking opportunity to appreciate the master's work
anew.
