American Colonisation and the City Beautiful
Author: Ian Morley
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429627858
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Winner of the 2020 IPHS Koos Bosma Prize American Colonisation and the City Beautiful explores the history of city planning and the evolution of the built environment in the Philippines between 1916 and 1935. In so doing, it highlights the activities of the Bureau of Public Works’ Division of Architecture as part of Philippine national development and decolonisation. Morley provides new archival materials which deliver significant insight into the dynamics associated with both governance and city planning during the American colonial era in the Philippines, with links between prominent American university educators and Filipino architecture students. The book discusses the two cities of Tayabas and Iloilo which highlight the significant role in the urban design of places beyond the typical historiographical focus of Manila and Baguio. These examples will aid in further understanding the appearance and meaning of Philippine cities during an important era in the nation’s history. Including numerous black and white images, this book is essential for academics, researchers and students of city and urban planning, the history and development of Southeast Asia and those interested in colonial relations.

Glimpses of an Uncharted Life
Author: Richard H. Shriver
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1532009690
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
At forty-three years old, during the height of the Cold War, author Richard H. Shriver was offered an appointment in the Office of the Secretary of Defense as director of telecommunications and command-and-control systems. He had a long-standing desire to see from the inside how the government functioned. So Shriver sold his interest in a successful company and took the plunge. In Glimpses of an Uncharted Life, he shares the consequences of that decision and what life was like from that point. Shriver presents a collection of stories in three parts. The first section, Foreign Affairs, starts with the beginning of the end of the Cold War. The second section, Domestic Affairs, narrates his experiences with the federal government and offers observations about government in his state of Connecticut. The final section, Tapering Off, tells what happens when a calendar that was full for more than fifty years suddenly goes blank. A book of reminiscences and reflections, Glimpses of an Uncharted Life shares what Shriver and his wife, Barbara, gleaned from living overseas for fifteen years and what they learned about life and people inside communism and inside countries recovering from the collapse of tyrannies.

DODO: Glimpses of the Life of Kag. Genubio M. Daug of Barangay Dalipuga, Iligan City (1948-2008)
Author: Artchil Daug
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1105653366
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
The history of Barangay Dalipuga in Iligan City, Philippines can never be told without the politicos that helped in its development. Genubio M. Daug or Dodo as he was locally called, served his barangay for more than twenty-five years and helped transformed it from a ghost town to a busy community. Growing up in a farm and spending most of his student life as an activist, he became closer to the people that he never thought would serve. His term as a very simple purok-president is a good picture of local politics even beneath the level of the barangay council. When in 1989 he became a councilor, a position he still has in the writing of this paper, he and the late Mauro Ga. Bulawin worked together in developing the barangay. From keeping the shores of Dalipuga safe from dynamites to helping improve the barangay economy, both politicos gave birth to what the barangay is today. This is the story of one of them.
