Summary:
Publié pour la première fois en 1809 sous le nom d'auteur fictif de Diedrick Knickerbocker, Histoire de New York connut immédiatement un immense succès et fit de Washington Irving le premier écrivain américain de renommée internationale ; il constitue en cela l'acte de naissance officiel de la littérature américaine. Ironie de l'histoire, ce livre, pour lequel l'auteur avait réalisé des recherches approfondies, fut au XIXe siècle l'une des sources majeures dont s'inspirèrent les historiens de la New York de la période hollandaise. C'est donc l'occasion de découvrir une époque méconnue de New York, celle de sa fondation, mais aussi de saisir les échos de la vie politique des Etats-Unis au temps de Jefferson. La présente édition est une version révisée d'une traduction française anonyme de 1827, pour la première fois rééditée, et augmentée pour tenir compte de modifications apportées ultérieurement par Washington Irving.

Summary:
This architectural guide brings together 100 of the most original structures built in New York City since 1999. Vladimir Belogolovsky pairs them with such nicknames as Guillotine, Peacock, Shark’s Fin, Turtle Shell, and Woodpecker. The New York-based author’s selection covers buildings realized by the world’s most renowned architects in a period when their creations were celebrated as art, and personal styles were encouraged by the media, critics, and clients. The featured time span begins with the rise of the starchitect in the late 1990s, and ends in the present day. But the mission of the book is not only to document; it is also to celebrate New York’s transformative energy. Many of the buildings were designed either by foreign architects or those who settled in the city and now call it home.

Summary:
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first man on the moon, this book for the first time ever looks at the artifacts left behind on the moon from the perspective of architecture. The book looks at every single mission – manned and unmanned – that has actually landed on the moon. It covers the time of the beginning of the Soviet and American space race with the landing of Luna 2 in 1959, to the present with China’s Chang’e 3 moon rover. This architectural guide differentiates itself from other scientific and educational books through its abstract approach to the topic of architecture on the moon. The content does not feature science fiction, but rather the question of what exists and what implications these bizarre structures hold for the future of architecture on other planets – as these topics are quite pertinent in today’s world of the commercialization of spaceflight, with SpaceX and NASA planning to take humans to Mars in the next 15 years.
