Academic discourse are the words that immediately come to mind when reading this work. Forty (history of architecture, Bartlett Sch. of Architecture, UK) is keenly interested in the relationship between architecture and language as complex social practices. Part 1 consists of six original essays inquiring into "the spoken and written language of modern architecture." These essays consider the language of modernism, language and drawing, masculine and feminine architecture, language metaphors, science in architecture, and the social properties of architecture. Part 2 is a "dictionary" of essays exploring the historical framework and theoretical meaning of 18 words that form the "core vocabulary of modernist architectural criticism." The scholarly text is well documented with footnotes and black-and-white illustrations. Recommended for large academic and specialized library collections.DJay Schafer, Bay Path Coll.

Charles Jencks, the leading architectural critic and writer, takes on "trendiness" in architecture: namely the rise of the "iconic building," instantly famous and distinctively recognizable structures like Norman Foster's "Gherkin" in London or Daniel Libeskind's Ground Zero designs in New York. Although there have always been buildings built to be instant icons such as palaces and cathedrals, Jencks sees this latest trend as being fueled by the real estate industry's thirst for profit and architects' outsize egos. Since the debut of Gehry's Guggenheim Bilbao, a roster of international architects has created iconic buildings that court publicity and controversy in equal measure.

Nagranie to jest pierwszym z serii kilku audycji nagranych przez Roberta Kiyosaki wraz z innymi ekspertami, których zaprosił on do dyskusji na tematy związane z tworzeniem biznesu, inwestowaniem, rozwijaniem naszej finansowej inteligencji. Są to dyskusje na temat tego, co ma służyć budowaniu portfela inwestycyjnego, który ma generować nasz przychód pasywny, dzięki czemu zdobędziemy naszą finansową niezależność. Ta niezależność ma za zadanie nie tylko poprawić nam obecny komfort życia, ale ma także uniezależnić nas od wielkiego załamania się funduszy opieki społecznej (rent, emerytur, zasiłków itp), oczekiwanego na Zachodzie z coraz większą trwogą.
