The Urban Wisdom of Jane Jacobs - Bog - Hardback

The Urban Wisdom of Jane Jacobs - Bog - Hardback

Here for the first time is a thoroughly interdisciplinary and international examination of Jane Jacobs¿s legacy. Together, the editors and contributors highlight the notion that Jacobs¿s influence goes beyond planning to philosophy, economics, sociology and design. They set out to answer such questions as: What explains Jacobs¿s lasting appeal and is it justified? Where was she right and where was she wrong? What were the most important themes she addressed?

The Urban Wisdom of Jane Jacobs - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Here for the first time is a thoroughly interdisciplinary and international examination of Jane Jacobs’s legacy. Divided into four parts: I. Jacobs, Urban Philosopher; II. Jacobs, Urban Economist; II. Jacobs, Urban Sociologist; and IV. Jacobs, Urban Designer, the book evaluates the impact of Jacobs’s writings and activism on the city, the professions dedicated to city-building and, more generally, on human thought. Together, the editors and contributors highlight the notion that Jacobs’s influence goes beyond planning to philosophy, economics, sociology and design. They set out to answer such questions as: What explains Jacobs’s lasting appeal and is it justified? Where was she right and where was she wrong? What were the most important themes she addressed? And, although Jacobs was best known for her work on cities, is it correct to say that she was a much broader thinker, a philosopher, and that the key to her lasting legacy is precisely her exceptional breadth of thought?

Arthur Sullivan: A Victorian Musician - Arthur Jacobs - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Arthur Sullivan: A Victorian Musician - Arthur Jacobs - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Published in 1992. This is a revised, enlarged edition of a book which on its original appearance in 1984 was hailed as a landmark in the study of Victorian musical life. It presents the figure of Sir Arthur Sullivan (1842-1990) not only as the celebrated co-creator of light operas with W.S Gilbert, but as a composer of all kinds of music from symphony and concerto to ballads such as ‘The Lost Chord’ and hymns such as ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’. A prominent public life, with a knighthood in 1883, is contrasted with an unconventional private life involving a liaison of almost thirty years with an American living in London, Mary Frances Ronalds. The author’s access to Sullivan’s diary held by Yale University and to letters and other documents at the Pierpont Morgan library in New York gives this book both a unique authority and a deep human understanding. A new chapter updates research to the 150 th anniversary of the composer’s birth, 1992, and incorporates music examples.

Richard Brautigan - Marc Chenetier - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Richard Brautigan - Marc Chenetier - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Few contemporary American writers have been subjected to as much laudatory abuse as Richard Brautigan who, having become famous in the 1960s, was made a cult figure for the hippy generation and was systematically refused recognition as a major novelist once the sentimental wave of the ‘greening of America’ had passed. Marc Chénetier’s study, originally published in 1983, was the first book to attempt to assess Brautigan’s writing art which, far from weakening over the years, had become, amid critical indifference, more secure in its techniques, more all-encompassing in its strategy and more iconoclastic in its goals. In analysing most of Brautigan’s fictional works in the light of his poetics, it examines the mechanisms of his metafictional and deconstructive offensive and indicates the direction in which Brautigan was moving at the time.
