Editorial Review Product Description In January 1991, the internationally acclaimed architect Christopher Alexander was commissioned by the Mary Rose Trust to design a museum to house this national treasure. Grounded in his techniques and principles for a new way of building that have earned Alexander a worldwide following over the last two decades, this book explains Alexander's vision of a permanent home for the Mary Rose. Spanning from the first inception of its design to finished models and drawings, it includes detailed, step by step explanations of the way this vision could be realized in structure and construction. Emphasizing the unification of design and construction, with hands on construction management by the architect, it provides a model for the way a large and highly technical building can be designed with proper importance given to human comfort and human feeling, while using the most advanced and sophisticated technology. Published here for the first time are the revolutionary construction management contracts for construction developed by Alexander and his associate Gary Black and their colleagues at the Center for Environmental Structure. Also of keen interest to professionals are the more than 100 drawings and photographs of the distinctive lattice arches that were firstintroduced by Alexander and Black in a smaller building in San Jose, California, and are a central part of Alexander's vision for the finished museum. To the half a million visitors who flock to see the Mary Rose each year, she is an opportunity to touch the past. To Alexander, the great ship is a touchstone for the architecture of the future. His vision of a new age in which respect for nature and the integrity of the past go hand in hand with advances in technology will inspire architects, engineers, builders, museum professionals, and anyone who cares about the design and construction of the great public buildings of the next century.Richly illustrated, and offering a wealth of conceptual, technical, and practical information, this volume is a most remarkable reference and guide.

Editorial Review Product Description May Cassar emphasizes the need for planning and places the environmental needs of museum managers. She stresses the role of the building as the first line of defense against environmental monitoring and control, and the division of museum spaces into critical areas housing collections and non-critical areas accommodating offices, cafes and communal spaces. Environmental Management presents a strategic approach to environmental management in contrast to the piecemeal approach to environmental monitoring and control still practised by many museums. However, rather than providing ready solutions and rigid rules, the book introduces principles and ideas on which to base decisions about creating the ideal environment. |

Editorial Review Product Description The New Press is pleased to announce the publication of this new title with the American Museum of Natural History, a collaboration that began with the publication of Epidemic! in 2000. Founded in 1869, the American Museum of Natural History in New York City is one of the world's preeminent institutions for scientific research and education, visited by more than four million people annually. Three new titles, Earth, The Biodiversity Crisis, and Cosmic Horizons, are companion volumes to three major new permanent exhibitions at the museum: the David S. and Ruth L. Gottesman Hall of Planet Earth, the Hall of Biodiversity, and the Frederick Phineas and Sandra Priest Rose Center for Earth and Space. Customer Reviews (2)
A Solid Summary of the Biodiversity Crises
World-Class in Every Way
Biodiversity is an option-generator.More diversity, more options for the future.See also Howard Bloom, World Brain. Hyperdisease happens more often than we might think, and is very relevant to concerns today about the collapse of public health.See also Laurrie Garrett, Betrayal of Trust. Biological elements are being inserted into commercial off the shelf products with unanticipated effects, some of which are damaging to humans.One noteworthy example: Corning added an ingredient to its tubes to make them less brittle, and scientists were finding their experiments infected and contaminated.Corning would not reveal what had changed, claiming it was a trade secret.Independent investigation finally determined that there was a synthetic chemical mimicking estrogen and having the effect of an estrogen injection on the cells exposed to the Corning tubes.Buyers beware--there would appear to be some disclosure standards required! Mass catastrophes have occurred many times over history, eliminating up to 75% of all living things, with varied outcomes in the millions of years thereafter.See also David Keys, Catastrophe, on the most recent, the Dark Ages, circa 535 A.D. Naturalists and natural science--the study of nature in its own environment, are endangered.Most universities are failing to support this vital area of study, with a result that our understanding of nature stems largely from lab work and computer models that are far removed from reality.See also John Paul Ralston, Voltaire's Bastards. I highly recommend this book.It is both discouraging (so much yet to be done to stabilize the world) and encouraging (many good things being done by many small groups). ... Read more |
