Summary:
Did homes in ancient Greece have kitchens and bathrooms? If so, why have archaeologists had such troubles finding their remains? What did the concepts of home and house mean to the ancient Greeks? This book offers a reappraisal of domestic space in classical Greece. Beginning with the premise that we must cease to view the classical Greek house through the lens of contemporary Western notions, Janett Morgan provides an evaluation of what home meant to different communities in the ancient Greek world. By employing textual analysis alongside archaeological scholarship, this publication seeks to explain some of the contradictions that previous approaches have left unresolved. Morgan’s work offers a new perspective on relations between men and women, public and private, and between home and city in the ancient world.

Summary:
Every animal in the forest can have a home they love with the help of Ms. Mouse in this whimsical and educational book about design and architecture. Henrietta is a world-famous architect, and the only mouse in the world who knows what makes a squirrel or a rabbit, a caterpillar or a frog feel at home. A dreamer, a designer, an artist, and a creator, Henrietta works at her drawing board to imagine the perfect home for each of her friends, be they woodland, water, subterranean or winged creatures. With clever features, like a trapdoor for Mole or a telescope platform for Owl, and the ideal placement, like high in a pine for Squirrel or inside a pear for Caterpillar, Henrietta Mouse’s houses are both practical and beautiful—in short, ingenious!

Summary:
Long known for her expertise in log construction, Robbin Obomsawin shakes things up in her newest book "The Not So Log Cabin", which looks at how to incorporate simple log elements into any home.

Log-element building ensures a unique home, because it can reflect traditional styles like Adirondack, Southwestern, or Western, depending on the desire of the builder or owner. Complete with original blueprints for log-element building, "The Not So Log Cabin" is a great idea book for building a not-so-ordinary log home.
