The Greening of Architecture
This accessible and engaging text is the first to offer a comprehensive critical history and analysis of the greening of architecture through accumulative reduction of negative environmental effects caused by buildings, urban designs and settlements. Describing the progressive development of green architecture from 1960 to 2010, it illustrates how it is ever evolving and ameliorated through alterations in form, technology, materials and use and it examines different places worldwide that represent a diversity of cultural and climatic contexts.
An Ideal Collaboration
IN THE FOLLOW-UP to the critically acclaimed The Art of Classical Details, Phillip James Dodd continues his look at some of the finest examples of contemporary classical architecture in Great Britain and the United States, while also examining how collaboration is the key to their successful design. In reality collaborative relationships are rare, especially among designers, where each is often focused on their own individual objectives and unable to transcend their own egos. Often used as a catch-phrase, but not often realized, true collaboration requires an understanding—and an appreciation—of the role that all parties play in the design and construction of a home. An Ideal Collaboration includes the work of some of the most notable names in contemporary residential design. Architects, decorators, landscape designers, consultants, builders, craftsmen, artists and vendors, all address the design process and the pivotal role that collaboration plays in creating cohesive timeless designs.
Architecture, Culture, and Spirituality
Architecture has long been understood as a cultural discipline able to articulate the human condition and lift the human spirit, yet the spirituality of architecture is rarely directly addressed in academic scholarship. The seventeen chapters provide a diverse range of perspectives, grouped according to topical themes: Being in the World; Sacred, Secular, and the Contemporary Condition; Symbolic Engagements; Sacred Landscapes; and Spirituality and the Designed Environment. Even though the authors’ approach the subject from a range of disciplines and theoretical positions, all share interests in the need to rediscover, redefine, or reclaim the sacred in everyday experience, scholarly analysis, and design.

The Day After Roswell
Since 1947, the mysterious crash of an unidentified aircraft at Roswell, New Mexico, has fueled a firestorm of speculation and controversy with no conclusive evidence of its extraterrestrial origin -- until now. Colonel Philip J. Corso (Ret.), a member of President Eisenhower's National Security Council and former head of the Foreign Technology Desk at the U.S. Army's Research & Development department, has come forward to tell the whole explosive story. Backed by documents newly declassified through the Freedom of Information Act, Colonel Corso reveals for the first time his personal stewardship of alien artifacts from the crash, and discloses the U.S. government's astonishing role in the Roswell incident: what was found, the cover-up, and how these alien artifacts changed the course of 20th century history.
Inventory
Cv/VAR Volume XX presents a resume of work by Philip James from the 1960s to date. The various sections feature landscapes made of Cornwall, Cumbria, Dartmoor, the Cotswolds and Sussex and abroad in Greece and Spain; his extensive city views, graphic and experimental work. The volume acts as as a summary of the artist and a key to published monographs of featured series and related software titles released by Cv/Visual Arts Research. My first landscapes were made on site on Dartmoor and the South Downs of West Sussex in 1965-67, progressing to studies in Cornwall, Cumbria and France. The city views began in 1968 with a skyline of London from Parliament Hill. I returned to landscape in 1997 when I made a triptych of Wheal Martyn Quarry north of St Austell. This was featured in Country Life Magazine and was eventually purchased by a descendant of the Clay Captain founder. Encouraged by the Turner Gallery in Exeter I developed a more substantial series of Dartmoor, taking in favourite locations such as Black Down, Postbridge, Manaton and Buckland. At the same time I worked on seascapes of north Cornwall: Crackington Haven, Summerleaze and Crooklets Beach near Bude. I have continued a
