A History of Cast Iron in Architecture

A History of Cast Iron in Architecture

Originally published in 1948 A History of Cast Iron in Architecture is a comprehensive history of the part that has been played by cast iron in architecture and the allied arts in Britain. Any history of the rise and development of the iron-founding industry becomes virtually a history of the First Industrial Revolution.

The introduction throws light on the early developments of iron-founding. The main sections of the book describe the rise and expansion of the cast-iron industry and its gradually increasing significance in architecture from 1650 to 1945. There are over 500 illustrations.

Consulting to Chaos An Approach to Patient-Centred Reflective Practice

Consulting to Chaos An Approach to Patient-Centred Reflective Practice

In clinical work an awareness of patients' subjective experiences particularly their perceptions of interpersonal relationships is indispensable. The aim of this book is to improve care and treatment planning by describing a structured approach to eliciting patients' core relationship patterns. These patterns consist of the roles and scenarios into which they repeatedly cast themselves and others with whom they interact. Maladaptive patterns in which vicious cycles and self-fulfilling prophecies of misperception misunderstanding or provocation escalate cause pain and havoc in personal relationships and can adversely affect both professionals' decisions and the overall delivery of treatment. This book shows how to use vital information that is often not made available to treatment teams in order to understand such potential pitfalls rather than succumb to them. | Consulting to Chaos An Approach to Patient-Centred Reflective Practice

Revival: Genre and Void (2003) Looking Back at Sartre and Beauvoir

This book was first published in 2003: Developing a reading of some of Beauvoir's and Sartre's most influential writings in philosophy Max Deutscher explores contemporary philosophy in the light of the phenomenological tradition within which Being and Nothingness and The Second Sex occurred as striking events operating on the border of the modern and the post-modern. Deutscher traces the shifts of genre that produce their gendered philosophies and responds in terms of contemporary experience to the mood and the arguments of their works. Drawing upon the writings of two contemporary critics in particular - Michele Le D“uff and Luce Irigaray - Deutscher reworks this part of philosophy's history in order to advance thinking in contemporary philosophy generate renewed philosophical reflection on consciousness freedom and one's relation to others and to return a look still cast in our direction from an earlier time. | Revival: Genre and Void (2003) Looking Back at Sartre and Beauvoir
