Book Description
A magical creature is born from a feather that's been sowed into the soil. As it grows, it discovers that it has characteristics of both a bird and a tree. The mighty oaks, only tall enough to see the creature's trunk, believe it's a tree and that it should stay grounded. The birds above, only able to see the creature's mass of sparkling feathers, believe it's a bird and urge it to take flight. The creature struggles between the two worlds until it sees itself as it really is--a new kind of being, a Shimmerling.

Book Description
Gwendolyn doesn’t just pull herself up by her bootstraps, she cures the leather, sews the stitches, and cobbles the whole shoe. But Gwendolyn’s ambitious art can’t keep up with a world in transition. This is New Avalon in the age of disruption. Where photographs now come in color. Where steam carriages leave horse-drawn carriages behind. Where couriers race against telegrams and sea-mail sends entire letters through ocean-deep cables. In this bustling new age, a craftswoman must keep pace with innovation or risk falling behind. To sell her enchanted terrariums, Gwendolyn must choose. Will she stick to her principles and put art before commerce? Or will she embrace change brought on by Autochrome, a new social technology that’s making museums a thing of the past? A BRIEF TREATISE ON MARKET ECOLOGIES, VOL III, is a whimsical look at world not so different than our own. A place where everyone can be someone… if you’re willing to pay the price.

A Course on Set Theory
Author: Ernest Schimmerling
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139501488
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
Set theory is the mathematics of infinity and part of the core curriculum for mathematics majors. This book blends theory and connections with other parts of mathematics so that readers can understand the place of set theory within the wider context. Beginning with the theoretical fundamentals, the author proceeds to illustrate applications to topology, analysis and combinatorics, as well as to pure set theory. Concepts such as Boolean algebras, trees, games, dense linear orderings, ideals, filters and club and stationary sets are also developed. Pitched specifically at undergraduate students, the approach is neither esoteric nor encyclopedic. The author, an experienced instructor, includes motivating examples and over 100 exercises designed for homework assignments, reviews and exams. It is appropriate for undergraduates as a course textbook or for self-study. Graduate students and researchers will also find it useful as a refresher or to solidify their understanding of basic set theory.

Sverre Fehn and the City: Rethinking Architecture’s Urban Premises
Author: Stephen M. Anderson
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000840689
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
The urban attentions of Pritzker Laureate Sverre Fehn (1924–2009) are extensive, but as yet virtually unexplored. This book examines ten select projects to illuminate Fehn’s approach to the city, the embodiment of that thinking in his designs, and the broader lessons those efforts offer for better understanding the relationship between architecture and urban life, with unignorable implications for emergent urban architecture and its address of sociological and ecological crises. Wary of large-scale planning proposals or the erasure of existing urban patterns, Fehn offered an uncommon and profoundly vibrant approach to urbanism at the scale of the single architectural project. His writings, constructed buildings, competition entries, and lectures suggest opportunities for reinvigorating architecture’s engagement with the city, and provoke a rethinking of concepts foundational to its theorization. What is the nature of urbanity? What is the relationship of urbanity to the natural world? What is the role of architecture in the provision and sustenance of urban life? While exploring this territory will expand our knowledge of an architect central to key developments of late modernism, the range of the book and the arguments developed therein delineate far broader aims: a fuller understanding of architecture’s urban promise.
