Laughing at Architecture
Author: Michela Rosso
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350022764
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
In a media-saturated world, humour stands out as a form of social communication that is especially effective in re-appropriating and questioning architectural and urban culture. Whether illuminating the ambivalences of metropolitan life or exposing the shock of modernisation, cartoons, caricature, and parody have long been potent agents of architectural criticism, protest and opposition. In a novel contribution to the field of architectural history, this book outlines a survey of visual and textual humour as applied to architecture, its artefacts and leading professionals. Employing a wide variety of visual and literary sources (prints, the illustrated press, advertisements, theatrical representations, cinema and TV), thirteen essays explore an array of historical subjects concerning the critical reception of projects, buildings and cities through the means of caricature and parody. Subjects range from 1750 to the present, and from Europe and the USA to contemporary China. From William Hogarth and George Cruikshank to Osbert Lancaster, Adolf Loos' satire, and Saul Steinberg's celebrated cartoons of New York City, graphic and descriptive humour is shown to be an enormously fruitful, yet largely unexplored terrain of investigation for the architectural and urban historian.

The 24/7 Christian
Author: Anthony Selvaggio
Publisher: EP BOOKS
ISBN: 9780852346877
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
In many ways, James is the forgotten epistle of the New Testament. Throughout church history the Epistle of James has encountered struggle, opposition and just plain neglect. In the period of the early church, it struggled to receive full acceptance in the canon of Scripture. At the time of the Reformation, it faced fierce opposition, particularly from the great Reformer Martin Luther. Luther dismissed the epistle outright, referring to it as an epistle of straw. Luther also charged that James mangles the Scriptures and thereby opposes Paul and all Scripture. In our modern age, James has suffered from both lay and scholarly neglect. When it comes to the New Testament epistles, the writings of Paul, Peter and John garner most of the attention. James and his epistle have been largely ignored and neglected throughout history. This is unfortunate, because it has much to say to us particularly regarding the crucial subject of the Christian life. Perhaps no other letter in the New Testament so comprehensively addresses the Christian life as does the Epistle of James. It is the purpose of this book to explore the Christian life through the panoramic lens of this grand epistle.

A Proverbs Driven Life
Author: Anthony Selvaggio
Publisher: Shepherd Press
ISBN: 9780981540054
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
In an age when practical, common-sense wisdom, the kind of thing we get in the Book of Proverbs, is all too rare (the problem with common-sense is that's not that common!), Anthony Selvaggio has set himself a gargantuan task: how to assimilate the (seemingly) wisdom of Solomon and present in a reasonable, structured way. And he has succeeded in what must be seen as an admirable way! This is a sign of springtime in what is largely a neglected section of the Scriptures with a promise for those who read this volume of harvest to come in practical Christian living. With advice on such topics as work and wealth, courtship and children, Selvaggio has given us a valuable treasure of practical wisdom. Just what Solomon intended.
