Trade Paperback. Condición: Used - Good. This timely and thought-provoking collection of essays offers a detailed examination of contemporary architectural practice in the 1990s. 'Reflections on Architectural Practices' in the Nineties grew out of a year-long symposium at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, which took stock of pressing issues in order to speculate on future paths for both education and practice. Among the many challenges the architecture profession is currently facing are a constantly volatile economic climate, rapid technological change, and a general globalization of society. Reflections presents 29 essays by leading critics, scholars, and designers, essays that grapple with these and other issues and provide strategies for confronting them. Several additional perspectives are presented through brief passages and images of built work, so that the whole forms a collage of broad, diverse viewpoints. George Baird, Thomas Fisher, and Andrew Saint are among those who provide overviews of architectural practice and education. Mack Scogin, Carl Sapers, and David Harvey, among others, discuss contemporary professional responsibilities and ethics. Forms of practice in the 1990s are discussed by a variety of participants including Max Bond, David Dillon, Rob Quigley, and Sharon Zukin. Rem Koolhaas, Saskia Sassen, and William Lazonick, with others, discuss the impact of the global economy on architecture. Finally, Peter G. Rowe presents some possible implications for design education. 'Reflections on Architectural Practice in the Nineties' is an essential compendium for anyone in the ever-changing future of architecture. Open copy with mild wear, clean pages - though some pencil notations are present in text block, tight binding.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Courts have emerged as a crucial battleground in efforts to regulate climate change. Over the past several years, tribunals at every level of government around the world have seen claims regarding greenhouse gas emissions and impacts. These cases rely on diverse legal theories, but all focus on government regulation of climate change or the actions of major corporate emitters. This book explores climate actions in state and national courts, as well as international tribunals, in order to explain their regulatory significance. It demonstrates the role that these cases play in broader debates over climate policy and argues that they serve as an important force in pressuring governments and emitters to address this crucial problem. As law firms and public interest organizations increasingly develop climate practice areas, the book serves as a crucial resource for practitioners, policymakers and academics.…

Soft cover. Condición: Good. 1st Edition. Original January 1929 issue of the Journal of Philosophical Studies, Vol. IV, No. 13, edited by Sydney E. Hooper and published quarterly for the British Institute of Philosophical Studies by Macmillan and Co., London. Complete through p. 154 and retaining the original printed wrappers together with contemporary advertising matter. Of particular interest is Olaf Stapledon's "The Location of Physical Objects," pp. 64-75, an early and substantial philosophical paper by Stapledon, published the year before Last and First Men (1930) established his reputation as one of the most distinctive speculative writers of the twentieth century. The paper belongs to Stapledon's serious philosophical work rather than his later fiction and addresses the ontological problem of what it means for a physical object to occupy a determinate region of space. Cambridge records the article as appearing in this exact issue, Vol. 4, No. 13, January 1929, pp. 64-75. Stapledon begins from the apparently straightforward common-sense conception of an object as occupying a definite spatial region before bringing this conception into confrontation with A. N. Whitehead's critique of "simple location." Using the seemingly mundane example of a penny, he investigates whether the being of an object can genuinely be confined to the volume conventionally assigned to it, drawing Berkeley and problems of perception into an argument concerned with the relation between sensible qualities, physical existence and spatial location. The paper consequently has particular interest for collectors concerned with Stapledon beyond his science fiction, as well as readers of Whitehead, metaphysics and the philosophy of perception. Also particularly significant is C. Lloyd Morgan's "The Case for Emergent Evolution," pp. 23-38. Morgan was already closely associated with the philosophical formulation of emergent evolution, and this 1929 paper returns explicitly to the distinction between an "emergent" and a "resultant", tracing the terminology back to George Henry Lewes. The article remains cited in later philosophical literature on emergence and represents another substantial contribution in this single issue. Further contents include W. G. de Burgh, "Gentile's Philosophy of the Spirit"; William Brown, "Religion and Science"; John Laird, "The Possibility of Rationalism in Ethics"; C. Delisle Burns, "The Philosophy of Social Life"; and C. E. M. Joad, "The One and the Many," followed by the Philosophical Survey, New Books and Institute Notes. The issue therefore provides an unusually concentrated cross-section of British philosophical discussion at the end of the 1920s, encompassing idealism, emergent evolution, philosophy of science, ethics and metaphysics. Original printed wrappers present. The spine is considerably worn, with losses of wrapper material, splitting and exposed gatherings in places; wrappers have edge wear, creasing, age-toning and general handling marks. Memorial College, Brecon institutional stamps appear on the front wrapper, opening page and rear wrapper. Despite the external wear, the contents remain together and the interior is substantially cleaner than the wrappers suggest. Contemporary publisher's advertisements survive, including advertisements for philosophical, theological and psychological publications. An uncommon original issue with considerable interest through the conjunction of Stapledon's early metaphysics and Lloyd Morgan's mature statement of emergent evolution, retaining its original wrappers and advertising matter.…
