In "Travels in South Kensington with Notes on Decorative Art and Architecture in England," Moncure Daniel Conway meticulously explores the rich tapestry of Englands decorative arts and architectural elegance, particularly focusing on the affluent South Kensington area. Employing an observational style, Conway interweaves detailed descriptions with historical context, allowing readers to appreciate the cultural significance of various art forms. This work stands out not just as a travel narrative but as a scholarly commentary on the 19th-century art movement, reflecting the Victorian ethos of aestheticism and the emerging global influence on British art and design. Moncure Daniel Conway, an American abolitionist and reformer, possessed a profound appreciation for art and its capacity to inspire social change. His background as a Unitarian minister and his exposure to transformative philosophical ideas influenced his perspective on the interrelation of art, culture, and society. Conways travels across Europe sparked his passion for highlighting the underappreciated artistry of everyday life, culminating in this in-depth analysis of South Kensington. I highly recommend "Travels in South Kensington" to anyone interested in the intersection of art, architecture, and cultural history. Conways engaging narrative offers both practical knowledge and a reflective lens on the importance of decorative arts, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and arts enthusiasts alike.

¿Cuál es el conjunto de objetos del que puede o no hablarse respecto de la sexualidad? ¿Es este un campo de enunciaciones posible o no? Michel Foucault plantea estos interrogantes y sostiene que la sexualidad se ha convertido en "el sismografo de nuestra subjetividad". Fue en el mundo cristiano del pecado donde la sexualidad conocio "una felicidad de expresion". Carne es el nombre que el cristianismo da a las relaciones entre cuerpo, deseo, concupiscencia y libido. La catedral sera una "inmensa enciclopedia en piedra" y "la suma artistica de toda la civilizacion medieval", al decir de Umberto Eco. En canecillos, metopas y capiteles, por ejemplo, se representaran temas sexuales. La desnudez aparecera en miniaturas y en pinturas, a partir de las figuras de santos, Adan, Eva, Cristo, condenados, cadaveres diseccionados, resucitados, esposos y grupos en baños. Fuentes de caracter documental, literario o artistico mostraran un universo en el cual la sexualidad se hace explicita. Sin embargo, la sociedad medieval puede resultar contradictoria al receptor actual, puesto que por un lado, condena y por otro, promueve aquello mismo que censura.

Tracks: A Journey Through Metroland tells the story of Metroland and the development of suburbia that grew alongside the Metropolitan Railway. Originally the brainchild of eminent Victorians, the Metropolitan grew to become the queen of underground lines, eventually expanding to a point some fifty miles outside London. Author Kevin J. Last describes how the concept of Metroland was an aspiration for several levels of society, promising a better lifestyle well away from the deprivations of wartime. The idea that the working man could live comfortably outside the smoke in individually designed houses would mean that he could also thrive at work, largely due to the regular service offered by the new railway. This was quite exceptional in that, while nominally an underground line, most of the Mets route was above ground and, in length, went far beyond other similar lines, far out into the Buckinghamshire countryside. Not marked on any map, Metroland is as much a concept of the mind as a real place.

Las bañeras, las cocinas y los tenedores esconden una historia. La vida privada dice tanto de una civilización como el análisis de sus batallas y contiendas. Todo sobre la casa desgrana, estancia por estancia, la evolucion de la vivienda a lo largo de la historia y nos descubre el origen de nuestros arraigados habitos domesticos.Si los romanos comian acostados y durante la Edad Media se impuso la costumbre barbara de comer sentado alrededor de una mesa, los reyes renacentistas, en cambio, solian comer solos frente a un numeroso sequito que permanecia de pie a su alrededor. Las primeras camas construidas eran estructuras elevadas para evitar humedades, corrientes y ratas, y mas que un mueble destinado al descanso, para la nobleza medieval el lecho fue uno de los epicentros de la actividad social de la corte, donde se recibian visitas o se trataban asuntos de Estado. Los baños no gozaron de un espacio propio en la vivienda hasta bien entrado el siglo xx, cuando convergio la generalizacion de las tuberias, el agua caliente y las doctrinas higienistasAnatxu Zabalbeascoa narra en este libro una cronica amena y apasionante de aquellos hechos que, como estos, han configurado la evolucion de la casa y de nuestros habitos domesticos. Arquitectura, tecnologia y vida privada confluyen en esta obra transdisciplinar que, partiendo de un analisis social y antropologico, nos narra la historia de seis espacios baño, cocina, dormitorio, jardin, salon, comedor para desvelarnos la evolucion de nuestra propia cotidianidad. Por sus paginas no solo desfilan Le Corbusier y Chippendale, el estilo Imperio y los jardines colgantes de Babilonia, sino tambien inventores y decoradores, politicos y monarcas, asi como nobles, burgueses y campesinos.El estudio de la autora discurre en paralelo a las potentes ilustraciones de Riki Blanco, que han sido minuciosamente creadas para este relato, y logran captar y trasladar al lector a ambientes preteritos con excepcional agudeza.

Therapeutic gardens are a very old practice in the area of health and, nowadays, they gained strength from the discussion about how the connection with nature can influence human well-being, in addition to the pressing concern for the environment that surrounds us, which includes health services, which are intended for the recovery, prevention and/or promotion of healthy states for all people who circulate there, not just patients. Brazil is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in the world. The implementation of therapeutic gardens is an action that promotes environmental, social and economic benefits, and thus contributes to the sustainable agenda. This guide, therefore, is an indispensable resource for professionals in different areas of knowledge, such as architects, biologists, botanists, landscapers, health designers, managers of institutions at all levels of health care, therapists, clinicians and other publics interested in health and nature.

What was it like to live in Britain during the Second World War? What kind of house did the average family live in? How did people cope with the ever-present threat of air-raids, not to mention the hardship of food and clothes rationing? How was a typical suburban home built? What were the choices open to householders when it came to interior decoration and furnishing? How did the war affect the domestic routines of an average household?The demands of a nation at war had many other far-reaching effects on the average home.

What was it like to Make do and Mend or Dig for Victory, or to sleep in an Anderson shelter? By looking at the lives of ordinary people who inhabited the semi-detached world of suburbia, Mike Brown and Carol Harris have painted a vivid picture of daily life on the Home Front in wartime Britain.
