"Architecture and Agriculture: A Rural Design Guide presents architectural guidelines for buildings designed and constructed in rural landscapes by emphasizing their connections with function, culture, climate, and place. Following on from the author's first book Rural Design, the book discusses in detail the buildings that humans construct in support of agriculture. By examining case studies from around the world including Australia, China, Japan, Norway, Poland, Japan, Portugal, North America, Africa and the Southeast Asia it informs readers about the potentials, opportunities, and values of rural architecture, and how they have been developed to create sustainable landscapes and sustainable buildings for rapidly changing rural futures." ? Publisher. ?? "Dewey Thorbeck is an American architect known for his contributions to rural and urban design. He has been particularly influential in promoting architecture that takes into consideration the rural landscape and community planning. He is the founder of the Center for Rural Design at the University of Minnesota, an organization that looks to improve rural areas through thoughtful design and planning. The center works on issues like local food systems, rural health, and rural sustainability. Thorbeck is also an author and has written about the importance of architecture and design in rural settings. His book, "Rural Design: A New Design Discipline," discusses this in detail. It looks at how design can improve the quality of life and enhance the environment in rural areas. His work is important because it puts an emphasis on areas that are often overlooked in the world of architecture and design. Instead of focusing solely on urban environments, Thorbeck and the Center for Rural Design take a broader view, ensuring that rural areas also benefit from good design and thoughtful planning."

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La batalla de las Navas de Tolosa ha pasado a la historia como un acontecimiento decisivo sobre todo porque marca el principio del fin de la presencia musulmana en la Península. Carlos Vara analiza con detalle tanto la composición de las fuerzas contendientes (navarros, castellanos, catalanoaragoneses, órdenes militares, etc. ) como la organización de la cruzada y los antecedentes de la misma, pero allí donde se convierte en una auténtica revelación es en el modo de recrear la batalla, sirviéndose para ello, por un lado, de un perfecto conocimiento de la organización, las tácticas militares, las armas y el pensamiento militar de los dos bandos enfrentados, y por otro el espectacular trabajo de campo, analizando hasta el más mínimo detalle de la topografía del lugar en que se produjo realmente la batalla en 1212. Eso le permite descubrir, por ejemplo, que no sólo acerca de las rutas que siguieron los contendientes se han publicados muchas informaciones erróneas, sino que en numerosos casos incluso el paso de la Losa y del escenario de la batalla se ha situado erróneamente por desconocimiento del campo de batalla y de su contexto. En cuanto a las bajas, otra cuestión muy debatida, si bien no pueden precisarse, si analiza los cálculos hechos hasta ahora y los rebate con argumentos decisivos. A la manera del gran clásico de la microhistoria El domingo de Bouvines, de George Duby, a Carlos Vara la minuciosa reconstrucción de la batalla le sirve para introducir gran cantidad de información curiosa e interesante acerca de la vida y las costumbres de la época. De la batalla de las Navas, de la que el 16 de julio se cumple el octavo centenario, no se sabe en realidad mucho, pues los testimonios que han llegado hasta nosotros responden muy evidentemente a intereses políticos, por lo que es cuantiosa la información que Carlos Vara logra sacar por primera vez a la luz mediante su reconstrucción de la batalla. Nadie había llevado a cabo un trabajo de síntesis en el que se pasara revista a los personajes que intervinieron, a la táctica y a la estrategia que se emplearon, en función de los conocimientos y usos de la época como hace aquí Carlos Vara. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
