Architectural historian James Michael Buckley investigates the remote forest and its urban core as two poles of a regional "city."

Это книга о дверях и порогах: о входах в доисторические святилища, египетские, греческие и римские храмы, средневековые соборы, крепости, дворцы и виллы.

Каждая дверь знаменует собой переход, а порог — это некий рубеж между двумя реальностями, граница двух миров и двух состояний. Двери неразрывно связаны с понятиями изменения и эволюции, а порой становятся связующей нитью между сном и реальностью, светом и тенью, неведением и мудростью.

Placing public sex at the center of urban history, Ross shows how those who used public spaces played a central role in defining the way the city was understood.

In cities as diverse as Minneapolis, Fayetteville, and Hartford, the key pillars of zoning are under fire, with apartment bans being scrapped, minimum lot sizes dropping, and off-street parking requirements disappearing altogether.
