Book Description
The author weaves a suspenseful, dramatic, historical saga of ambition, love, murder, and one family's tragedy and triumph through the latter part of the Civil War. There are several intriguing twists in the plot: cowardice, obsession, hypocrisy, from dual simulation, that surprise and challenge the family of their leader caught up in their two worlds of avarice, rapacity, insatiable greed and lust. While the war ravages on amid the stormy, personal lives of the people, while we see those depredations only add to the mayhem, we are reminded there are no pristine priests. Still, this book is very inspiring to anyone whose Christian ideals are beyond compromise.

Category : House & Home
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
The work of influential, award-winning interior designer Thomas Pheasant is best described as "contemporary classical" and simply serene. Celebrated interior designer Thomas Pheasant is best known for his seamless melding of tradition and the contemporary. His spaces are fresh and of the age yet also enduringly timeless.

Unafraid of combining pieces from various traditions, he achieves a sense of harmony and balance. This lavish offering of his work gives the reader a sensible, artful approach to interior design, presenting models of great aesthetic subtlety and beauty. Based in Washington, D.C., Thomas Pheasant works around the globe. Recent projects include the redesign of Blair House, the President’s guest house on Pennsylvania Avenue across from the White House, and apartments in Washington, New York, Paris, and Moscow. Never a strict by-the-book traditionalist, Pheasant responds to and sees in classicism its rational order, its quietude, its serenity.

Serene Urbanism
Author: Phillip James Tabb
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317057031
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Serenity is becoming alarmingly absent from our daily existence, especially within the urban context. Time is dense and space is tumultuous. The idea of the serene has gained currency in postmodern discussions, and when combined with urbanism conjures questions, even contradictions, as the two ideas seem improbable yet their correspondence seems so inherently desirable. Integrated, these two constructs present design challenges as they manifest in differing ways across the rural–urban transect. In response, Part I of this book establishes the theoretical framework through different contemporary perspectives, and concludes with a clear explanation of a theory of serene urbanism. The positive characteristics of urbanism and beneficial qualities of the serene are explored and related to sustainability, biophilia, placemaking and environmental design. Both principles and examples are presented as compelling portraits for the proposal of these new urban landscapes. Part II of the work is an in-depth exploration and analysis of serene urban ideas related to the intentional community being created outside of Atlanta, Georgia, USA. "Serenbe" is the name given to this place to commemorate the value and nuance between the serene and urban.

Embracing both the profundity of ancient wisdom and the information revolution, leading educationalist Arun Kapur explores the way in which we think about education, and sets out a path for lifelong learning.
