Ruimschotel Tjerk London. Architectural Guide. Twentieth-Century Housing Projects
A city famous for its rapid growth and high cost of living, London is not a place one immediately associates with pioneering housing projects. Yet the British capital has a long history of social housing and plenty of innovative residential buildings: from Henry Darbishire's estates for the Peabody housing association to sustainable communities such as BedZED and contemporary council homes like the RIBA award-winning Dujardin Mews. Divided by period rather than architectural style, this guide focuses on the developments in this field, beginning at the close of the nineteenth century and finishing at the present day. Twentieth-century buildings thus make up the bulk of the guide: garden suburbs, quintessentially English mock Tudor estates, and brutalist icons such as the Barbican and Robin Hood Gardens are all feature in these pages. As do lesser-known works, situated both in the heart of the metropolis and its outer suburbs. Details of the location and nearest train station accompany the building descriptions for easy navigation, and maps give an overview for planning excursions. In addition, a comprehensive reading list provides inspiration for further investigation. Architectural Guide: London offers an alternative way to view the city's remarkable buildings - many of which are hidden in plain sight.

Mass Housing in the Socialist City. Heritage, Values, and Perspectives. Case Studies in Germany
Mass housing in Germany, Russia, and Ukraine represents an enormous volume of housing today and therefore an important tool for the future development of cities. But transformation of these districts is needed due to the functional, societal, and technical challenges they face. How can sustainable, socially compatible, ecologically responsible, and economically efficient development be achieved? This book summarises the results of a three-year research project. Based on the selected case studies, it points out the qualities and values as well as the problems and possibilities involved in spatially transforming prefabricated housing estates from the 1960s and 1970s. The specific features and characteristics of the socialist city are evaluated with respect to their potentials and difficulties, and with regard to the requirements placed on future district planning and development. Hence this book contributes to the on-going discussion and serves as a valuable basis for developing planning strategies.

Maugham William Somerset Far Eastern Tales
Mesmerising short stories by this neglected 20th century master. Far Eastern Tales is a collection of short stories born of Maugham's experiences in Malaya, Singapore and other outposts of the former British Empire. Whether portraying a ship-borne flight from a lover's curse, murder in the jungle, or a marriage shattered by a past indiscretion, they all reveal Maugham at his best - sometimes caustic, sometimes gently comic, but always the shrewd and human judge of character and soul.

Zupagrafika. The Tenants
Массовое жилищное строительство в послевоенных социалистических странах было быстрым и эффективным способом обеспечить жильем растущее городское население после Второй мировой войны, но после распада советского блока судьба такого строительства стала неопределенной. Поскольку модернистские поместья ремонтируются или сносятся преждевременно, их арендаторы остаются неустрашимыми. Они пережили золотые годы и темные периоды строительства. Включает предисловие социолога и городского исследователя Мацея Фронцковяка и указатель представленных жилых комплексов, дающий обзор их истории. Портреты были сделаны Дэвидом Наварро и Мартиной Собецка при участии местных фотографов. Представленные города: Алматы, Белград, Берлин, Будапешт, Кишинев, Дрезден, Гданьск, Галле-Нойштадт, Калининград, Катовице, Краков, Киев, Любляна, Львов, Лодзь, Мендзыжеч, Минск, Москва, Норильск, Омск, Подгорица, Познань, Прага, Рига, Росток, Санкт-Петербург, Скопье, София, Щецин, Таллинн, Тбилиси, Вильнюс, Воркута, Варшава, Вроцлав, Якутск, Жирардов.Mass housing in post-war socialist countries was a quick and efficient way to provide housing for expanding urban populations after World War II, but after the collapse of the Soviet bloc the fate of such construction became uncertain. As modernist estates are renovated or demolished prematurely, their tenants remain undaunted. They lived through the golden years and the darker periods of buildings. Includes a foreword by sociologist and urban researcher Maciej Frąckowiak and an index of the housing estates featured, giving an overview of their history. The portraits were taken by David Navarro and Martyna Sobecka, with contributions from local photographers. Cities featured: Almaty, Belgrade, Berlin, Budapest, Chișinău, Dresden, Gdańsk, Halle-Neustadt, Kaliningrad, Katowice, Krakow, Kyiv, Ljubljana, Lviv, Łódź, Międzyrzecz, Minsk, Moscow, Norilsk, Omsk, Podgorica, Poznań, Prague , Riga, Rostock, Saint Petersburg, Skopje, Sofia, Szczecin, Tallinn, Tbilisi, Vilnius, Vorkuta, Warsaw, Wrocław, Yakutsk, Żyrardów.

Rubenhold Hallie The Five. The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper
Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary-Jane are famous for the same thing, though they never met. They came from Fleet Street, Knightsbridge, Wolverhampton, Sweden and Wales. They wrote ballads, ran coffee houses, lived on country estates, they breathed ink-dust from printing presses and escaped people-traffickers. What they had in common was the year of their murders: 1888. Their murderer was never identified, but the name created for him by the press has become far more famous than any of these five women. Now, in this devastating narrative of five lives, historian Hallie Rubenhold finally sets the record straight, and gives these women back their stories.
