Killer instinct is an aggressive tenacious urge for domination in a struggle to attain a set goal. If you say that a sports player or politician has the killer instinct, you admire him for his toughness and determination to succeed.We don’t strive to go the extra mile, which is the toughest in any endeavour. We should not create an impression that there’s nothing more to achieve. Complacency and overconfidence are proven recipes for disaster. Winning isn't about finishing in first place. It isn't about beating the others. It is about overcoming yourself, overcoming your body, your limitations, and your fears. Winning means surpassing yourself and turning your dreams into reality. Success is an excellent acquired quality of a person to sustain a strong spirit which can willfully overpower the dictums of mind
Living with History focuses on a particular aspect of heritage preservation in the twentieth century: destruction and postwar reconstruction in Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, and The Netherlands. This book establishes a status quaestionis for the historiography of wartime and postwar preservation, and sets these particular developments in preservation history in the context of the general evolution of architecture and urbanism. The authors investigate the specific role of conservationists and heritage institutions and administrations in the overall reconstruction and examine the part played by architects and planners in heritage preservation.
This important volume focuses on the sensitive issue of interrelationships between national parks situated near or within urban areas and their urban environment. It engages with both urban and conservation issues and and compares four national parks located in four large cities in the global South: Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town, Mumbai, and Nairobi. Though primarily undertaken as academic research, the project has intensively collaborated with the institutions in charge of these parks. The comparative structure of this volume is also original and unique: each of the chapters incorporates insight from all four sites as far as possible.The term “naturbanity” expresses the necessity for cities...
Si « l'hérédité en République » peut sembler un paradoxe, pratiques népotiques, cousinages complexes, ancrage local, réseaux de sociabilité au sein de la bourgeoisie conduisent à la confiscation du destin politique de la Marne par quelques familles entre 1871 et 1940. Malgré le vœu de Gambetta de voir émerger des couches sociales nouvelles en politique, des groupes familiaux alliés mettent la main sur les mandats de conseiller d’arrondissement, conseiller général, député et sénateur.Ces élus limitent le renouvellement des élites politiques nationales et locales. Appartenant à des familles qui s’embourgeoisent progressivement au cours du siècle, ces notables procèd...

Social groups formed around shared religious beliefs encountered significant change and challenges between the 1860s and the 1970s. This book is the first collection of essays of its kind to take a broad, thematically-driven case study approach to this genre of architecture and its associated visual culture and communal experience. Examples range from Nuns’ holy spaces celebrating the life of St Theresa of Lisieux to utopian American desert communities and their reliance on the philosophy of Teilhard de Chardin. Modern religious architecture converses with a broad spectrum of social, anthropological, cultural and theological discourses and the authors engage with them rigorously and innova...
