English Text. Milano, 2000; hardback, pp. 100, 110 b/w and col. ill., cm 24x34. (I Talenti). Ogni installazione di Ed Carpenter e un'emozione che entra nell'architettura. Ed Carpenter varia scala, colori, luci, materiali e profondita per articolare la propria risposta a ciascuno spazio. Lavorando con vetro, alluminio, acciaio inossidabile, cavi e illuminazione computerizzata, il suo vocabolario si fonde col linguaggio dell'architettura. Ogni sua opera sembra crescere dal luogo stesso in cui e relizzata per cercare la luce ed emanare il proprio soffio vitale.

Gladys,Montgomery: Storybook Cottages America's Carpenter Gothic Style, Rizzoli Universe Int. Pub, April 2011 ISBN: 0847836193
Charming old houses in a uniquely American form are lovingly showcased in this engaging book. Romantic, imaginative, and eminently photogenic, Carpenter Gothic homes feature fairy-tale-like exterior details-steep gables; pointed arches, windows, and doors; elaborate gingerbread trim; and porches-in addition to one-of-a-kind, highly desired interior features that imbue the homes with a wealth of character-arched entryways, bay windows, stained glass, fireplaces, and wooden ceiling beams. The first of the Victorian romantic architectural revivals to sweep America during the nineteenth century, the Carpenter Gothic style was inspired by the pattern books of Andrew Jackson Downing and made possible by the invention of the steam-powered scroll saw. Homebuilders created these delightfully fanciful houses in most states across the country. Storybook Cottages highlights both the picturesque exteriors of these homes as well as the incomparable interiors that give them such warmth. Presented are stunning photographs by Paul Rocheleau, Tim Street-Porter, Steve Gross, and Sue Daley, among others, along with illustrative examples from Downing's pattern books, and black-and-white images from the Historic American Buildings Survey. The text examines the roots of the style, from Medieval Europe and Gothic cathedrals through Inigo Jones, Augustus Pugin, and the Gothic Revival; the role of the American Gothic, from the pattern books of Andrew Jackson Downing and Alexander Jackson Davis (Rural Residences, Victorian Cottage Residences, The Architecture of Country Houses) that inspired the style to the impact of the scroll saw, which allowed local builders to interpret Gothic Revival architectural details in wood, thus creating the Carpenter Gothic style; and the hallmarks of Carpenter Gothic, from sharply peaked gables to board-and-batten siding, peaked windows and doors, gingerbread trim on porches, stained glass windows, and decorated bargeboards, among other features. The primary focus will be on exterior architectural details in homes and carriage houses, but will also include decorative elements of the Carpenter Gothic style, from wallpapers to carpets and furnishings. The text will also discuss historic interiors, adapting the style for modern living, and floor plans, wallpapers, carpets, and furnishings inspired by the Carpenter Gothic style.

Antony Copley Illustrator: . Get Writers in Search of the Divine: Hinduism and Homosexuality in the Lives and Writings of Edward Carpenter, E.M. Forster and Christopher Isherwood, Cambridge University Press/Yoda Press 2006 ISBN: 9788190666824

New Softcover . Gay Writers in Search of the Divine is an exploration of how three English writersaEUR"Edward Carpenter, E.M. Forster, and Christopher IsherwoodaEUR"all three of whom shared a similar sexuality, sought in Hindu spirituality one way of achieving personal autonomy and fulfillment. Antony Copley reveals how these writers reconciled their inner conflicts and were led in the direction of Hinduism either by friendship or the influence of gurus. Tackling the themes of the guru-disciple relationship, their quarrel with Christianity, relationships with their mothers and the problematic feminine, the tensions between sexuality, and the attraction of Hindu mysticism, this fascinating work seeks to reveal whether Hinduism offered the answers and fulfillment these writers ultimately sought.
