"Jeremiah Eck has articulated theories that are extremely thoughtful and inspired about the way we should design and look at our homes. Whether you are building, renovating, or love admiring a home that brings all the correct elements together, The Face of Home is an essential tool for understanding how lessons learned from traditional styles, attention to details, and fine craftsmanship make a home feel appropriate and pleasing." -- Norm Abram, Master Carpenter. "Jeremiah Eck teaches us why we love the houses we do. It is a lesson well learned." -- Rebecca Teagarden, The Seattle Times. "Elegant and down-to-earth, Jeremiah Eck's latest book, The Face of Home, is like the best of Eck's residential designs: essential for anyone who wants their home's exterior to be distinctive, yet never look-at-me garish." -- Marta Salij, Detroit Free Press. "At a time when cookie-cutter McMansions chew up open space from coast to coast, Jeremiah Eck reminds us that residential design at its best communicates a uniqe sense of place and tradition. The infectious joy that distinguishes every page of The Face of Home will inspire readers to demand a similar pride of place when building a home of their own." -- Norman L. Koonce, FAIA, former Executive VP/CEO, The American Institute of Architects. "The outside of a house is what we all see and remmeber. Yet few of us appreciate why the outside is just as important as the inside in creating a harmonious home. Americans lavish billions of dollars a year on interior design but seem content to settle for house exteriors that are, for the most part, uniformly monotonous or just plain ugly. In his new book architect Jeremiah Eck offers a fresh way of looking at the outside of a home. Focusing on five key hallmarks of good exterior design (for example, the house and site are one, the parts of the house are in harmony, and the details spring from the whole), Eck illustrates characteristics that all well-designed houses share, no matter the particular architectural style or materials used to build them. Eck provides an up-close look at 22 houses from all across America, convincingly demonstrating how to achieve a well-designed "face of home" that will give any house a unique character and personality." -- from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 2002 OUP hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. Miriam Griffin is unrivalled as a bridge-builder between historians of the Graeco-Roman world and students of its philosophies. This volume in her honour brings togetherseventeen international specialists. Their essays range from Socrates to late antiquity, extending to Diogenes, Cicero, Pliny the Elder, Marcus Aurelius, the Second Sophistic, Ulpian, Augustine, the Neoplatonist tradition, women philosophers, provision for basic human needs, the development of law, the formulation of imperial power, and the interpretation of Judaism and early Christianity. Emperors and drop-outs, media stars and administrators, top politicians and abstruse professionals, even ordinary citizens in their epitaphs, were variously called philosophers. Philosophy could offer those in power moral support or confrontation, a language for making choices or an intellectual diversion, but they might disregard philosophy and get on with the exercise of power. 'Philosophy' means 'love of wisdom', but what was the power of philosophy? Contents: Bibliography of Works by Miriam T.

Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 290 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Imagine a world in which most of the knowledge you possess originates from the verbal reports of other people. These reports are usually based on the first-hand observations of the reporter, him- or herself, and the reporter's primary intention is to inform you of his or her observations. Now imagine another world descended from the first. In this second world, most of your knowledge still depends on others' reports, only now others' reports also come in the form of encoded symbols inscribed on relatively stable physical media. As in the first world, the primary intention of reporters is an informative one. The use of physical media in conjunction with verbal reports facilitates longer chains of reports: people often report to you another person's observations, the third person having inscribed his or her first-hand observation on a physical medium. …
