Architecture as Experience investigates the perception and appropriation of places across intervals of time and culture. The particular concern of the volume is to bring together fresh empirical research and animate it through contact with theoretical sophistication, without overwhelming the material. The chapters establish the continuity of a particular physical object and show it in at least two alternative historical perspectives, in which recognisable features are shown in different lights. The results are often surprising, inverting the common idea of a historic place as having an enduring meaning. This book shows the insight that can be gained from learning about earlier constructions of meaning which have been derived from the same buildings that stand before us today.

This increase will have to come from existing land, as little potential exists for bringing new land under cultivation -- a daunting prospect when one realizes that increased use and significantly higher concentrations of carbon
Electromagnetic Scattering is a collection of studies that aims to discuss methods, state of the art, applications, and future research in electromagnetic scattering. The book covers topics related to the subject, which includes low-frequency electromagnetic scattering; the uniform asymptomatic theory of electromagnetic edge diffraction; analyses of problems involving high frequency diffraction and imperfect half planes; and multiple scattering of waves by periodic and random distribution. Also covered in this book are topics such as theories of scattering from wire grid and mesh structures; the electromagnetic inverse problem; computational methods for transmission of waves; and developments in the use of complex singularities in the electromagnetic theory. Engineers and physicists who are interested in the study, developments, and applications of electromagnetic scattering will find the text informative and helpful.

(Piano Solo Personality). In earlier days, Grammy-nominated pianist David Lanz was also a singer songwriter. However, the combination of his strengths as a pianist and composer led him into the instrumental genre that he is most well known for. "Now with the stunning voice and artistry of composer and lyricist Kristin Amarie," says Lanz, "I have again found my lyrical path and the perfect collaborator to bring that to life." This folio includes all 13 songs from Lanz & Amarie's collaborative musical, Silhouettes of Love . Songs: Amore Eterno Redux * Circles Round the Moon * Dante and Beatrice (Fra Beatrice) * Falling * Found by Love's Return * Lady on the Shore * Our Illusion * The Promise * Silhouette of Love * Silver Threads (Without You) * So in Love * The Soaring Heart * Waiting for the Sun.
