Summary:
"The ecological engineer" is a new book series that celebrates the most innovative engineers in North America and the practices and principles that they use to produce structures, systems and technologies, in a way that embraces the emerging philosophy of sustainable design.

Summary:
The County Court House, symbolic center of each community from the Colonial era to the present, reflects the attitudes and aspirations of each generation up to our time. This exploration of a vital part of American life tells us much about the people who left their mark on these spaces over a period of two and a half centuries and makes an important contribution to the knowledge of the architecture of the United States. From log cabin to high rise, the photographs and texts encompass modest Colonial buildings and flamboyant structures which are the reflections of properity and pride. The court house stands for the dignity of the law and the democratic principle and is the most significant single building widely distributed across the country.
