Hardcover in Dustjacket. Zustand: Near Fine. ARCHITECTURE Urban Planning -This title explains an alternative living arrangement that provides shelter and security, convenience, comfort and meaning. The author (and architect) describes existing pocket neighbourhoods and provides inspiration for new ones. This title is suitable for architects and homeowners who crave a greater sense of community where they live. The typical American neighbourhood is impersonal, made up of large houses on large lots, with large garages whose remote openers provide residents instant access inside. Thereâs never any need to see or be seen! The good news is that a growing number of homeowners are saying they want more. Pocket neighbourhoods are alternative living arrangements that provide shelter and security, convenience, comfort and meaning. In a typical pocket neighbourhood, parking is intentionally separated from houses, which surround a landscaped common area. Homeowners walk to their doors, past the neighbours they might otherwise never know. This book by architect and author Ross Chapin describes existing pocket neighbourhoods and co-housing communities and provides inspiration for creating new ones.A 2012 Nautilus Silver Award Winner Pocket Neighborhoods: Creating Small Scale Community in a Large Scale World introduces an antidote to faceless, placeless sprawl -- small scale neighborhoods where people can easily know one another, where empty nesters and single householders with far-flung families can find friendship or a helping hand nearby, and where children can have shirt-tail aunties and uncles just beyond their front gate. The book describes inspiring pocket neighborhoods through stories of the people who live there, as well as the progressive planners, innovative architects, pioneering developers, craftspeople and gardeners who helped create them. Sarah Susanka, author of the best selling Not So Big House series, wrote the Foreword to the book, placing pocket neighborhoods within context of the contemporary trends in housing and community. Ross Chapin begins the book by outlining the shifts in the scale of community and the American Dream over several generations, leading to super-sized houses in a sea of development, then describes a solution to help restore healthy, livable communities. The first section of the book looks at historic precedents of pocket neighborhoods. The second section covers a wide range of contemporary pocket neighborhoods, including New Urban communities, affordable housing, houseboat communities, eco-neighborhoods, and Ross Chapin Architects' own pocket neighborhood examples. The third section focuses on 'cohousing' communities, from Danish origins in the 1960s, to examples across America, Australia and New Zealand, including a chapter on senior cohousing. The fourth section looks at retrofitting pocket neighborhoods within existing communities. Throughout the book are series of Design Keys that highlight the essential principles of pocket neighborhood planning and design, and short stories about Pocket Neighborhood Pioneers who blazed new trails. The book is filled with rich photographs, drawings, illustrations and site plans, and a Resources section at the end provides leads for the reader to explore the topic in further detail.pp. 220 illusts #241225 (name on fep) Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The year is 1944, in the middle of World War II, and German prisoners of war held in rural areas of the South and Southwest are put to work in the agricultural and logging industries.Twelve-year-old Mac Johnson lives in the Piney Woods of East Texas, where his father has a logging operation. Already angry with 'those evil Nazis' who killed his brother, Donald, a pilot, young Mac's desire for revenge intensifies when his father is assigned POWs to help cut lumber-and one of the Germans looks exactly like Donald. Together, Mac and his best friend, Arlen, plot for revenge, but as plan after plan fails, Mac's frustration and anger grow, along with his hatred.When Mac gets a chance to be the whistle punk-to blow his whistle when a log is loaded on the skidder and the workers are safely away-he comes up with a foolproof plan to get even. Caught between his own desire for revenge and the friendliness of the German POW, Mac faces the most difficult decision of his life.German POWs were stationed in East Texas, did work in the logging camps, and were, like the POWs in this novel, model prisoners who posed no threat to citizens. Whistle Punk is the story of what might have been between one American family and a group of POWs.Chapin and Alice Ross grew up in East Texas during World War II; neither knew about the German POWs working in the region's logging camps, but both remember Jack Armstrong, the All-American Boy, whose radio programs are so important to Mac and Arlen.
