Walking Through the Ages of Paris includes ten walking tours, each covering a different historical period, richly illustrated with 150 maps and images from each historical period.

The last walk hits the highlights of nearly two thousand years of the making of Paris, also in chronological order. While written as a standalone work, Walking Through the Ages of Paris is a companion volume to The Making of Paris, published by Lyons Press.

From the author of the beloved Fifth Avenue, Five A.M. and The Big Goodbye comes the definitive account of one of the quintessential American artists, Frank Capra, visionary behind the iconic and timeless Its a Wonderful Life.Frank Capra, the director of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, It Happened One Night, and, supremely, Its a Wonderful Life remains one of the great chroniclers of the American heart, how we love, lead, dream, hope, and fight for our individuality. But Frank Capra was a more complex artist than is usually reckoned and a more complicated man than anyone knows. As his most famous collaborator Jimmy Stewart put it, the best Frank Capra story is the story of his own life. Its got more highs and lows than a roller coaster. Its heartwarming. Its kind of hard to believe, really. And it could only happen in America.Like many great American stories, this story begins in Ellis Island where a penniless family of Sicilian immigrants arrives in 1903. Frank Capras life goes on to take in the explosive growth of Southern California and the film industry, the depths of the Depression, the enormity of the Second World War, and Americas uneasy post-war as an empire riven by a loss of unity. It is a life as shot through with both moonbeams and melancholy as that of his greatest creation, George Bailey. Capra is both the exemplar of American ideals, as in his truly vital work for Roosevelts war effort, and of American failings, as in his informing during the McCarthy period.This extraordinary book, making full use for the first time of Capras own archives, including deeply personal writings from his later years, has brought this seminal artist into urgent life. At the same time, in its epic richness, it offers a dazzling portrait of both a lost America and an enduring one.

Traces the origins and core concepts of sacred geometry from ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Britain through the Renaissance and modern science Reveals how geometric forms, proportions, and measurements shape sacred architecture, ritual objects, and esoteric symbolism Applies foundational principles such as the Golden Section, Platonic solids, and ad quadratum methods to understand the connection between spiritual practice and cosmic order Sacred geometry is a universal language that links the structure of the cosmos, sacred sites, and spiritual symbolism. Nigel Pennick introduces the basic principles and esoteric secrets of this ancient tradition. Pennick explores how sacred geometry shaped temples, pyramids, ziggurats, and cathedrals, showing how builders encoded metaphysical knowledge into architecture and ritual objects. He shares accounts of sacred geometry in Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Israel, and Greece, as well as its influence on Medieval and Renaissance architecture, Freemasonry, and Baroque city planning. You will learn practical ways to apply this knowledge by crafting geometric sigils and amulets, and how to use proportional systems for harmonious design. By connecting ancient traditions with modern discoveries, the author shows how sacred geometry remains a foundation for meaningful architecture and spiritual understanding. In addition, Pennick provides you with tools to integrate sacred geometry into your personal, spiritual, and creative practices. This concise guide to basic practices and timeless principles reveals the enduring significance of sacred geometry as a bridge between the material and the spiritual worlds.

This book demonstrates how architecture can be visually conveyed despite historical uncertainty. It is an architectural contribution to resolving the dilemma that historical representations, in order to be vivid, often consist of pure fantasy. The method presented here translates archaeological hypotheses from words into images. As a result, the outcome is scientifically sound, even if it frequently involves analogical reasoning. This ambiguity is conveyed through the abstraction of the model. Thus, it is not the built structure itself but its concept that is depictedand so clearly that misunderstandings are minimized. This transforms our perception of lost architecture. Instead of a glorified, romanticized past, it is conveyed as a timeless message.Henner Hesberg was a professor of Classical Archaeology in Munich and Cologne and director of the German Archaeological Institute in Rome. He has been emeritus since 2014. His research focuses on Greek and Roman architecture and the cultural history of Hellenism.Dominik Lengyel holds the Chair of Architecture and Visualization at the BTU Cottbus. He is a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts in Salzburg and the Koldewey Society, as well as a corresponding member of the German Archaeological Institute.Catherine Toulouse is an architect and founding partner of Lengyel Toulouse Architekten Berlin. She is a long-standing academic staff member at the BTU Cottbus and a former member of the City of Colognes Design Advisory Board. Previously, she worked at the architectural firm of Prof. O.M. Ungers.
