Penguin Modern Classics

Following the events of one single day in Dublin, the 16th of June 1904, and what happens to the characters Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, Ulysses is a monument to the human condition. It has survived censorship, controversy and legal action, and even been deemed blasphemous, but remains an undisputed modernist classic: ceaselessly inventive, garrulous, funny, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive. It confirms Joyce's belief that literature 'is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'. This new edition is based on the original 1922 edition, now the preferred text of Joyce's masterwork, and includes an introduction by world-renowned Joycean scholar, Andrew Gibson.

An exploration of the relationship between early modern travel literature and English nationalism, this book's primary goal is to assess the response of early modern readers to the nationalist sentiments in Richard Hakluyt's Principal Navigations. Matthew Day contends that Hakluyt's collection shaped nationalist thinking, ideas, and notions of identity; and that it influenced nationalist policies and actions in a number of key areas, including politics, navigation, exploration and trade.

An exploration of the relationship between early modern travel literature and English nationalism, this book's primary goal is to assess the response of early modern readers to the nationalist sentiments in Richard Hakluyt's Principal Navigations.  Matthew Day contends that Hakluyt's collection shaped nationalist thinking, ideas, and notions of identity; and that it influenced nationalist policies and actions in a number of key areas, including politics, navigation, exploration and trade.    This study discloses the fundamental importance of early modern travel literature to nationalist discourses and their complex relationship with imperialism.  It is based on both printed and manuscript sources, and looks at literature ranging from the drama and poetry to government papers, personal letters, commonplace books, and minutes of trading companies.  As a reception history, it appeals not only to literary and cultural historians, but also to scholars of book history.

The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination'. Both an insight into Joyce's life and childhood, and a unique work of modernist fiction, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a novel of sexual awakening, religious rebellion and the essential search for voice and meaning that every nascent artist must face in order to fully come into themselves.

The Lamar Series in Western History

How a generation of pioneers and their historians knowingly hid the violent history of Indigenous dispossession in the Pacific Northwest &nbsp; The small, mostly forgotten wars of the 1850s in the American Pacific Northwest were part of a broader genocidal war—the War on Illahee—to seize Native land for Euro-Americans. Illahee (a term for “homeland” in Chinook) was turned into the states of Oregon and Washington through the violence of invading soldiers, settlers, and serial killers. Clashes over the brutality of invasion—should it be celebrated, isolated, or erased?—left behind accidental archives of atrocity, as history writers disagreed over which stories they should tell and which stories they could sell. By the 1920s, the War on Illahee had been disappeared. &nbsp; Drawing on records from the perpetrators themselves, the papers of historians, and previously suppressed evidence from Indigenous survivors, Marc James Carpenter has written both a new history of pioneer atrocities within and beyond the wars on Native people in the American Pacific Northwest, and a new history of how these wars were remembered, commemorated, and forgotten. The overlapping distortions have embedded inaccuracies in our histories and textbooks all the way to the present. Beyond reshaping the history of the Pacific Northwest, this searing book opens broader conversations about settler colonialism, historical memory, problematic monuments, and the historical profession.

Let these cutting-edge tools revolutionize your architectural problem-solving Recent technological advances, including rapid development of high-performance computing power, have produced computational tools for architects and designers that are swiftly revolutionizing the field. Two of these tools, parametric analysis and generative design, can be used together to model complex problems and test solutions with extraordinary speed and efficiency. The next generation of architects and designers will bring these tools to bear in a transformed professional landscape. Parametric Analysis and Generative Design in Architectural Practice offers a detailed introduction to these tools and their applications. Balancing theory and practice, it is replete with useful examples and provides algorithms for three different architectural scales: urban design, building design, and interior design. A foundational discussion on machine learning in architectural practice is presented, along with examples of machine learning applications for energy analysis and solar analysis. It is a must-own for architects looking to leverage an unprecedented level of computational power. The book also includes: <ul> <li>Detailed guidelines for building performance simulation for energy analysis and daylight analysis</li> <li>Algorithms for scales from interiors to buildings to entire cityscapes</li> <li>Discussion of how to implement machine learning in order to solve complex problems</li> </ul> Parametric Analysis and Generative Design in Architectural Practice is ideal for professionals and students at every level looking to diversify their architectural toolkit.

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.

Der Wohnungsbau der späten Moderne kann als Blaupause für eine zukunftsfähige Stadtentwicklung dienen. Die Beiträger*innen arbeiten die vielschichtigen Werte der Großwohnsiedlungen als baukulturelles Erbe heraus und stellen Akteure und Kontexte vor, die ihre Transformationsgeschichte geprägt haben. Aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive vergleichen sie die Historie und Qualitäten in West- sowie Ostdeutschland und schärfen den Blick für eine bewahrende Weiterentwicklung der Siedlungen - was nicht zuletzt Barrieren in Denken und Handeln überwindet und durch konkrete Möglichkeiten für eine integrierte, werteorientierte Zukunftsgestaltung von Siedlungsbeständen neue Türen für die Stadtplanung öffnet.
