The Evolution of Construction Contract Administration

Design and Construction as Process

Penguin Monarchs

When Henry IV seized the throne from his cousin Richard II, people saw it as a hopeful new beginning for England. The first monarch to have English as his mother tongue since the Norman conquest, Henry seemed to embody the ideals of chivalric kingship: mercy, piety, military prowess and learning. Yet deposing a crowned monarch was not a stable foundation on which to build a reign. Henry IV found himself challenged from all sides, plagued by conspiracies, rebellions, assassination attempts and crippling debts, while his tense relationships with Parliament and with his own son, Shakespeare's Prince Hal, saw his grip on power falter. Nevertheless, he was the first king and founder of a Lancastrian dynasty which would go on to shape England for centuries to come. In this lively study, Catherine Nall reappraises a monarch who weathered upheaval and uncertainty and held on to the throne through sheer force of will.

The Afflicted King

Henry IV (Penguin Monarchs)

A Clean Hell opens the doors of America’s most secretive prison and lets the reader step into the cell to experience all the horrors the Federal Bureau of Prisons tries to keep hidden underground.
In 1995 the Bureau of Prisons opened the ADX, its “escape-proof” supermax prison in Florence, Colorado. The nation’s most secure supermax prison, it was meant to hold the most high-profile prisoners. The “Alcatraz of the Rockies” has since been home to World Trade Center bombers, Oklahoma City and Boston Marathon bombers, gang leaders, disruptive prisoners, and those deemed “enemies of the state.”
Now, thirty years after the ADX first opened, A Clean Hell offers readers an up close and personal look at life in the most restrictive prison in the United States. After defying the odds and beating the government in a crooked criminal trial, antifascist prisoner Eric King found himself inside the ADX for eighteen months at the end of a ten-year bid. In telling his story of his trial and life inside this underground supermax, Eric vividly captures what life inside ADX is like for both the most infamous prisoners, as well as those prison rebels you have never heard of.
Whether you’re facing time in a federal prison, have clients or loved ones locked inside the ADX, are concerned about the United States prison machine, or are an abolitionist combating the carceral state, A Clean Hell presents a clear picture of survival under the most restrictive levels of state repression. It is both an indictment of American atrocities and an invitation to fight back.

Anarchy and Abolition in America's Most Notorious Dungeon

Clean Hell, A

An in-depth exploration of the work of Frederick Kiesler, the visionary architect, with a special focus on his Mobile Home Library. Frederick Kiesler: Vision Machines explores the work of Austrian architect, theater designer, and theorist Frederick Kiesler (1890–1965). The book’s centerpiece is a close examination of Kiesler’s iconic but unrealized Mobile Home Library, which will be fabricated for the first time and photographed for the publication. Built around a speculative essay by Mark Wasiuta, tracing Kiesler’s visionary, even obsessive interest in sight, dreams, looking, and reading, the book covers Kiesler’s research and teaching at Columbia University’s School of Architecture in the late 1930s and 1940s, focusing on the main projects he developed at his Design Correlation Laboratory, the Mobile Home Library and the Vision Machine. The Vision Machine was imagined as an ambitious device intended to visualize human sight, from optics and nerve stimuli to dream content and hallucinations. The Mobile Home Library was conceived as a dynamic, modular object—part device, part furniture—whose repertoire of rotating, spinning movements allowed variable forms of interaction with readers and users. At first glance these two projects barely resemble each other. Yet together they illustrate the strange and astonishing scope of Kiesler’s correalism, which spanned and confused his biotechnique (a biologically-oriented design process aimed at fostering human health) and his techno-oneiric surrealism. The book is published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Graham Foundation in Chicago in Fall 2024, but is a stand-alone volume. It presents Wasiuta’s substantial research and thinking on Kiesler, a wealth of photographs, drawings, documents, film stills, and pedagogical experiments from Kiesler’s laboratory, as well as photographs of the exhibition’s centerpiece, the (re)construction of the never-built Mobile Home Library. Frederick Kiesler was born in Czernowitz, Austria-Hungary (now Ukraine) in 1890 and died in New York in 1965. For a short time, he was a member of De Stijl, he briefly partnered with Adolf Loos in the 1920s, and he was an associate of many avant-garde artists, including Man Ray and Fernand Léger.

Author Helen Muir drew on her journalistic and personal correspondence to provide a memoir of her friendship with poet Robert Frost during the 30 years he wintered in South Miami (between 1934-1963). Frost and his wife, Elinor, brought a property in Miami to escape public life. After Elinor's death, Frost maintained their five-acre home named Pencil Pines, comforting himself with birdwatching and stargazing, cultivating flowers and friendships. Muir's children have taken up the task of releasing the work in paperback with a new foreword and new photos to give readers a fresh look at this iconic memoir written by their mother.
