Book Synopsis Architecture's Odd Couple by : Hugh Howard
Download or read book Architecture's Odd Couple written by Hugh Howard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-05-24 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In architectural terms, the twentieth century can be largely summed up with two names: Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson. Wright (1867–1959) began it with his romantic prairie style; Johnson (1906–2005) brought down the curtain with his spare postmodernist experiments. Between them, they built some of the most admired and discussed buildings in American history. Differing radically in their views on architecture, Wright and Johnson shared a restless creativity, enormous charisma, and an outspokenness that made each man irresistible to the media. Often publicly at odds, they were the twentieth century's flint and steel; their repeated encounters consistently set off sparks. Yet as acclaimed historian Hugh Howard shows, their rivalry was also a fruitful artistic conversation, one that yielded new directions for both men. It was not despite but rather because of their contentious--and not always admiring--relationship that they were able so powerfully to influence history. In Architecture's Odd Couple, Howard deftly traces the historical threads connecting the two men and offers readers a distinct perspective on the era they so enlivened with their designs. Featuring many of the structures that defined modern space--from Fallingwater to the Guggenheim, from the Glass House to the Seagram Building--this book presents an arresting portrait of modern architecture's odd couple and how they shaped the American landscape by shaping each other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now a major film starring Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland, a novel “like life itself: joyous, painful, moving, tragic, mysterious, and not to be missed” (Booklist, starred review). The Robinas have shared a wonderful life for more than sixty years. Now in their eighties, Ella suffers from cancer and John has Alzheimer's. Yearning for one last adventure, the self-proclaimed “down-on-their-luck geezers” kidnap themselves from the adult children and doctors who seem to run their lives and steal away from their home in suburban Detroit on a forbidden vacation of rediscovery. With Ella as his vigilant copilot, John steers their ’78 Leisure Seeker RV along the forgotten roads of Route 66 toward Disneyland in search of a past they're having a damned hard time remembering. Yet Ella is determined to prove that, when it comes to life, you can go back for seconds—even when everyone says you can't. “Come to the end and you’ll say, Oh my God.” —Elmore Leonard, New York Times bestselling author of Get Shorty “A sweet natured travelogue that’s about the end of the road in more ways than one.” —Bob Morris, author of Assisted Loving “An affecting road novel. . . . Ella’s wise, feisty voice turns what could be a sappy melodrama into an authentic and funny love story.” —Publishers Weekly “Both achingly sad and intensely romantic, this unforgettable story of a last honeymoon hooked me from the first page.” —Marjorie Hart, author of the national bestseller Summer at Tiffany “Zadoorian is true to these geezers. He draws them in their most honest light . . . I hoped for a book that would make me laugh during these tight times, and I was rewarded.” —Los Angeles Times

Book excerpt: Successful marriages are not an accident. A lasting marital relationship is the result of loving commitment, self-giving, intimacy, and respect for another person. It is a relationship in which a man and a woman grow together not only in body, but also in spirit. Grow Old Along with Me looks at the many elements that make a marriage more loving and fulfilling as two people grow older. In a mature relationship, spouses recognize and appreciate the good in their marriage, not only in the past, but right here and now. A mature couple is in a unique position to eliminate frustrations as they are drawn ever closer. Intimacy finds a new dimension -- a dimension that moves beyond the physical encounter. This new intimacy binds the couple in a deeper union as they move away from things that disrupt their relationship to become joined in spirit as well as body. Couples growing together in mature intimacy find it easier to adapt to change and to stay interested in each other and in their world. Complete with spousal discussion starters and sections relating to adult children and remarriage after the death of a spouse, Grow Old Along with Me is a celebration of the joys of marriage in the mature years.

Download or read book Couple Relationships in the Middle and Later Years written by Jamila Bookwala and published by American Psychological Association (APA). This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's older couples often look and function differently than those of yesteryear. Lifespans have increased, while many health challenges remain. Retirement, spousal role equity, and family caregiving needs look different now, and cultural shifts have shaped the prevalence and visibility of non-traditional older relationships, such as same-sex relationships and ""living apart-together"" relationships. With such an increased variety in relationship forms and social contexts, what does the research say about quality? What factors influence the nature and quality of today's older couple relationships, and what are the complex links between relationships and health? In this cutting-edge book, the authors present the latest theoretical, methodological, and empirical perspectives in the field of middle-age and older couple relationships. The chapters cover a broad range of topics, including the impact of health concerns, loneliness, chronic disease management, couple negotiation of everyday tasks, and coping across the lifespan. Implications for couples therapy and policy are included. In short, the book makes a significant stride into understanding the strengths and challenges of older couples.

Book excerpt: Our new home was supposed to be a chance to leave our past behind. But was moving here the worst mistake of our lives? All our friends and family were gathered, glasses raised to toast our fresh start. It should have been a night for happiness and celebration. Zac and I had worked so hard for this: our first home together, just minutes from the sea. But the dream quickly turned into a nightmare... We'd invited our neighbours too. I wanted to make a good impression - to show them we're exactly the sort of people they want living on their street. I hadn't thought about who they might be, the strangers I was letting in. It was going so well. There was laughter in the air and the wine was flowing. But then I noticed the narrowed eyes, the whispers. And then the lights went out. As my heart thumped in my chest, all the little things that had been going wrong since we moved here flashed through my mind: the food poisoning, the arguments, the flood of nasty reviews shaking my business. Am I going crazy? Or is someone trying to destroy us? From the USA Today bestselling author Shalini Boland comes an absolutely heart-thumping psychological thriller with a twist you won't see coming.

Book Synopsis Stealing Benefacio's Roses by : Martín Prechtel
Download or read book Stealing Benefacio's Roses written by Martín Prechtel and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2006-06-07 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the acclaimed Secrets of The Talking Jaguar and Long Life, Honey in the Heart, this is an expansive, lyrical novel in the tradition of indigenous oral storytelling. Based on the author's many years of living in a Guatemalan village, Stealing Benefacio's Roses interweaves dramatic recountings of village life and the political horrors of civil war with lyric retellings of sacred Mayan myths. The story shifts expertly from timeless, with archetypal characters like Raggedy Boy and the goddess known as the Water-Skirted Beauty, to timely in the book's striking first-person narrative set in the 1980s. Prechtel shows how ancient myths can become a part of life for everyone and help nurture spiritual survival in the modern world. Though it comes third in sequence with the author's other two books, Stealing Benefacio's Roses also stands on its own as a classic work of spiritual seeking and adventure.
