New York City's rooftops as convergences of the sacred and the commercial
In late 2019, artist Karin Ferrari (born 1982) came to New York City to research what she describes as "pseudosacred commercial architecture" for six months. "Pseudosacred" structures are particularly ubiquitous in the United States, where many casinos, banks, hotels, shopping centers, and wellness and entertainment facilities imitate and reference mythical and sacred building elements.
Spring 2020 turned out to be a special time for Ferrari's visit. "When the metropolis emptied during the COVID-19 lockdown, it felt like I could really see the city for the first time," she writes. "This is when I noticed a very special architectural phenomenon in Manhattan. Infrastructures, such as elevator shafts and water tanks, or multi-level penthouse units, which actually look a lot like places of worship, tower up on many New York City skyscrapers." This compact and affordable volume collects Ferrari's pictures of the city's "rooftop temples" at a pivotal moment in the city's history.
Описание: Vietnam is a fascinating country, still unspoilt by mass tourism unlike some nearby countries, and although there are several guides already published (including one from the author of this book), they tend to concentrate in the main attractions, most of which are concentrated in the city centre, while ignoring some of the beauties, which although not far away from the centre, hardly see any foreign face. From the awarded author of "Saigon 2013: Guide to Ho Chi Minh City", and "Vietnam Business and people, understanding to cultural differences" comes this new guide book to help you discover some hidden gems in Ho Chi Minh City, giving you the opportunity to observe and experience real life of Vietnamese people. What will you find in this book: -Very interesting hidden temples, covering the many religions practised in Vietnam. -How to reach the suggested sites from the city centre. -Time to reach them, and how much a taxi will cost. -Suggestions for best eats nearby. -Daily real life of Vietnamese. -Markets where Vietnamese shop (Ben Thanh market is for tourist only ) at Vietnamese prices. -Lots of pictures and maps. -Suggested walking itineraries, and time to do them. -Up to date information as per January 2014

Описание: A pioneering Egyptologist, Flinders Petrie (1853-1942) excavated over fifty sites, trained a generation of archaeologists, and brought his subject to a wider audience. Published in 1883, this landmark survey includes the first accurate measurements of the Great Pyramid of Giza. These findings are still used as a reference.

Описание: The ancient Greeks attributed great importance to the sacred during war and campaigning, as demonstrated from their earliest texts. Among the first four lines of the Iliad, for example, is a declaration that Apollo began the feud between Achilles and Agamemnon and sent a plague upon the Greek army because its leader, Agamemnon, had mistreated Apollo's priest. In this first in-depth study of the attitude of military commanders towards holy ground, Sonya Nevin addresses the customs and conduct of these leaders in relation to sanctuaries, precincts, shrines, temples and sacral objects.
Focusing on a variety of Greek kings and captains, the author shows how military leaders were expected to react to the sacred sites of their foes. She further explores how they were likely to respond, and how their responses shaped the way such generals were viewed by their communities, by their troops, by their enemies and also by those like Herodotus, Thucydides and Xenophon who were writing their lives. This is a groundbreaking study of the significance of the sacred in warfare and the wider culture of antiquity.

This groundbreaking book uniquely focuses on the exploration of the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles and their characterization and applications.
Metal nanoparticles are the basic elements of nanotechnology as they are the primary source used in the design of nanostructured devices and materials. Nanomaterials can be manufactured either incidentally, with physical or chemical methods, or naturally; and the high demand for them has led to their large-scale production by various toxic solvents or high energy techniques. However, due to the growing awareness of environmental and safety issues, the use of clean, nontoxic and environment-friendly ways to synthesize metal nanoparticles has emerged out of necessity. The use of biological resources, such as microbes, plant parts, vegetable wastes, agricultural wastes, gums, etc., has grown to become an alternative way of synthesizing metal nanoparticles. This biogenic synthesis is green, environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and nontoxic.
The current multi-authored book includes recent information and builds a database of bioreducing agents for various metal nanoparticles using different precursor systems. Green Metal Nanoparticles also highlights different simple, cost-effective, environment-friendly and easily scalable strategies, and includes parameters for controlling the size and shape of the materials developed from the various greener methods.
