Praise for the First Edition "Because of its exceptionally wide perspective, even architectural historians who do not teach general survey courses are likely to enjoy and appreciate it." —Annali d'architettura "Not only does A Global History of Architecture own the territory (of world architecture), it pulls off this audacious task with panache, intelligence, and—for the most part—grace." —Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians Revised and updated—the compelling history of the world's great architectural achievements Organized along a global timeline, A Global History of Architecture, Second Edition has been updated and revised throughout to reflect current scholarship....
Architecture in the Culture of Early Humanism
The impact of early Italian Humanism on the development of Quattrocentro architecture has received much attention in recent years. Providing the foundation for the re-evaluation of architectural principles in the age of Humanism, Christine Smith focuses on the ways that works of architecture or architectural imagery became important vehicles for the expression of the Humanists' ethical, political, and cultural concerns. Smith looks at the writings of the Humanists and investigates what they believed was important in the "built environment. Since the Humanists' accounts of architecture responded to other literary texts, she analyzes in detail their relations with specific Classical, medieval,...

St. Bartholomew's Church in the City of New York
St. Bartholomew's, the grand Episcopal church located on Park Avenue at 50th Street, is one of New York's most distinctive buildings--"a jewel in a monumental setting," as Christine Smith calls it. In this book, beautifully illustrated with 16 photographs--including 28 stunning color plates by the Italian photographer Reffaello Bencini--Smith examines the history of the parish, the checkered history of the church's construction, the background and ideas of the architect, Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, and the various elements of its design and decoration, including a discussion of its historical sources. Goodhue based the structure on San Marco, the 11th-century Venetian church, and incorporated elelments of both Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Among the many outstanding features it now includes are beautiful mosaics by Hildreth Meiere and the Stanford White portal dedicated to Cornelius Vanderbilt--all splendidly captured in the accompanying photographs.
Über die Seelenruhe
Wie halten wir unsere Seele in Balance, wie führen wir ein gutes Leben? Eine Anleitung zur Selbstpflege – spielerisch, tiefgründig, brillant. Seit der Antike kreist das philosophische Denken um die Frage nach dem guten Leben: Die Aufgabe einer gelungenen Existenz als Individuum und als aktiv gestaltendes Mitglied der Gesellschaft, die Suche nach praktischen Mitteln zur Vermeidung von Leid und die Erlangung des Seelengleichgewichts in einer krisenhaften Welt sind Themen von ungebrochener Aktualität. In seiner meisterlichen Schrift lotet der Renaissancegelehrte Leon Battista Alberti in der Form eines Dialogs die ganze Bandbreite menschlicher Emotionen aus und denkt über das ausgeglichene...
