Great Windows in Modern Architecture
Windows are moments in modern architecture where we look to ascertain elegance, technical expression and material language or to capture a certain atmosphere. A window opening is as much an interval and an opportunity as it is a device for admitting light, air or views; it is simultaneously a physical aperture but also a philosophical opening of collaboration and reflection. In order to understand the language of a building we might look to the detail of the window. But what does this mean and why does modern architecture invest so much expression in the window? This book explores how the act of detailing and situating windows in buildings is a key proponent in the language of architecture, ...
Class and Race in the Frontier Army
Historians have long assumed that ethnic and racial divisions in post–Civil War America were reflected in the U.S. Army, of whose enlistees 40 percent were foreign-born. Now Kevin Adams shows that the frontier army was characterized by a “Victorian class divide” that overshadowed ethnic prejudices. Class and Race in the Frontier Army marks the first application of recent research on class, race, and ethnicity to the social and cultural history of military life on the western frontier.

Continuous Life
When college student Aiden Carraway visits his hometown to confront an unfaithful girlfriend, his drug-addicted twin brother forces him to rethink his priorities. Despite choosing the right path in life--namely the attainment of a snotty girlfriend and a college education--Aiden harbors a secret crystal meth addiction. Unlike his twin brother Calvin, a junky occultist who openly embraces a slacker lifestyle, Aiden is obsessed with success, terrified of failure, and goes to great pains to hide his vice from everyone, including himself. As Aiden verges on losing everything to drugs--his girlfriend, his education, his life--Calvin dies. His sudden and unexpected death prompts Aiden to attempt quitting all drugs. In this newfound state of lucidity, Aiden pieces together Calvin's final days, learning more about the private life of his twin brother in one week than he has in the previous twenty years. What he discovers about Calvin is as shocking as it is profound. This newfound knowledge impels Aiden on a quest, an unfinished mission his brother had set into motion, and one which Aiden must see through to the end, no matter the cost.
