The Mental Life of the Architectural Historian
This book re-reads the historiography of early modern architecture through post-war theory. It examines architectural history’s autonomy from art history, offering a critical understanding of the canon established by Pevsner, Hitchcock, and Giedion.
Urban Design
This book defines and analyzes three types of continuity in urban planning and design: urban conservation, cultural tourism, and persistencies of form. It cites international examples from the author’s work, illustrated with numerous original drawings.
This comprehensive collection of estimators in single and two-phase sampling covers estimators which utilize information on single, two, and multiple auxiliary variables. An invaluable point of reference for researchers working in the field of survey sampling.
This work investigates the algebraic theory of corner subrings in Banach and C*-algebras. We propose a general approach to explore when topological properties are consequences of algebraic assumptions, with results for C*-algebras and ternary rings of operators.
Evolving Transcendentalism in Literature and Architecture
This book shows how architects Frank Furness, Louis Sullivan, and Frank Lloyd Wright read Transcendentalists like Emerson and Whitman and transformed their philosophy into physical substance. It is the first to analyze their iconic work from this perspective.
