Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Housebuilding in Transition The purpose of this book is explained in chapter 1. As the reader progresses, it will be clear that in order to describe the housebuilding industry to economists and other interested observers, such as materials suppliers, lenders, government personnel, and legislators, I have included descriptions of technical processes which may be basically familiar to builders. I felt it necessary to furnish sufficient technical facts so that students and other readers can understand why certain procedures are employed. At the same time, I felt that these descriptions are also important to builders. An orderly presentation of the actual steps in constructing a house will enable them to reexamine their own operations with a view to improving their methods, by offering an insight into the logic of many procedures that are frequently taken for granted. Even an abbreviated list of acknowledgments must be long. The basic research for this book was performed under contract (No. O-E-50) with the Administrator, Housing and Home Finance Agency, results of which were submitted in a report dated August 31, 1951. I am particularly indebted to that agency and to the University of California Bureau of Business and Economic Research, which was a joint sponsor of that project. Their staffs, under the direction of Dr. Richard Ratcliff and Dr. Frank Kidner, respectively, aided greatly in the furtherance of this study. Mr. Jack Rogers, my associate in the above project, gave valuable assistance throughout, particularly in connection with the Statistical Appendixes, many of which stand in the approximate form in which he developed them. Mrs. Betty Ballantine Hogan assisted in the writing of the results. Mr. George Pucci, Robert Williams, Wells Keddie, Fred Maisel, Willard Wall, and many others shared in gathering the basic data. Mrs. Jerry Honeywell Hobbs and Mrs. LaVerne Rollin performed the initial editorial and secretarial work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Houses for a New World written by Barbara Miller Lane and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fascinating history of the twentieth century's most successful experiment in mass housing While the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, and their contemporaries frequently influences our ideas about house design at the midcentury, most Americans during this period lived in homes built by little-known builders who also served as developers of the communities. Often dismissed as "little boxes, made of ticky-tacky," the tract houses of America's postwar suburbs represent the twentieth century’s most successful experiment in mass housing. Houses for a New World is the first comprehensive history of this uniquely American form of domestic architecture and urbanism. Between 1945 and 1965, more than thirteen million houses—most of them in new ranch and split-level styles—were constructed on large expanses of land outside city centers, providing homes for the country’s rapidly expanding population. Focusing on twelve developments in the suburbs of Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles, Barbara Miller Lane tells the story of the collaborations between builders and buyers, showing how both wanted houses and communities that espoused a modern way of life—informal, democratic, multiethnic, and devoted to improving the lives of their children. The resulting houses differed dramatically from both the European International Style and older forms of American domestic architecture. Based on a decade of original research, and accompanied by hundreds of historical images, plans, and maps, this book presents an entirely new interpretation of the American suburb. The result is a fascinating history of houses and developments that continue to shape how tens of millions of Americans live. Featured housing developments in Houses for a New World: Boston area: Governor Francis Farms (Warwick, RI) Wethersfield (Natick, MA) Brookfield (Brockton, MA) Chicago area: Greenview Estates (Arlington Heights, IL) Elk Grove Village Rolling Meadows Weathersfield at Schaumburg Los Angeles and Orange County area: Cinderella Homes (Anaheim, CA) Panorama City (Los Angeles) Rossmoor (Los Alamitos, CA) Philadelphia area: Lawrence Park (Broomall, PA) Rose Tree Woods (Broomall, PA)

Download or read book Feeling Feminism written by Lara Campbell and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From beauty pageant protests to fire bombings of pornographic video stores, emotions are a powerful but often unexamined force underlying feminist activism. Feeling Feminism examines the ways in which anger, rage, joy, and hopefulness shaped and nourished second-wave feminist theorizing and action across Canada. Drawing on affect theory to convey the passion, sense of possibility, and collective political commitment that has characterized feminism, contributors reveal its full impact on contemporary Canada and highlight the contested, sometimes exclusionary nature of the movement itself. The insights in this remarkable collection show the power of emotions, desires, and actions to transform the world.
