Allen & Unwin, 2003. Softcover. Near Fine. No matter where we find ourselves, we make a home. A place we are cocooned; a place where we can dream.Dream Home asks what our homes mean to us. But not from the rarified view of the architect's drafting table nor from the set of the TV renovation show. It takes as its starting point everyday people and their everyday houses. Looking at the way we've made ourselves at home through history and across cultures, Mark Wakely raises many questions: Why do children all over the world draw houses the same way? What's it like to work with an architect on a multi-million dollar house? Why would a family of five choose to live in one room? Can you build a house out of cardboard?Filled with personal anecdotes and rich insight, Dream Home is a lively exploration of a universal subject - our homes. ""Mark Wakely's wide-ranging meditation on 'house', 'home', 'shelter', richly allusive as it is, never moves so far from the personal as to lose contact with what is passionately physical and down-to-earth. Like so much of the best writing about space it is also a left-handed autobiography."" -- David Maloufix, 227 p., [12] p. of plates : ill. ; 23 cm. #020322 Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.

This book discusses whether the extent of the use of glass facades has increased, or indeed enhanced, the creation of meaningful place-making, thereby creating a cultural identity of 'place'. Looking at the development of perceptions of glass facades in different cultures, it shows how modernist 'glass' buildings are perceived as an expression of technical achievement, as symbols of global economic success and as setting a neutral platform for multi-cultural societies – all of which are difficult for urban developers and policy makers to resist in our era of globalization. Drawing on a number of modern and heritage design projects from Europe, the USA, the Middle East and South East Asia, the book reviews efforts of some regional towns and local places to move up the economic ladder by adopting a more 'global' aesthetic., Routledge; London and New York, 2006, 3, New York New York: CDS Books, 2005. first edition full numbering line.

Dublin: Dedalus Press, 1998 Book. Near Fine. Soft cover. 1st Irish Edition. The Old Women of Magione draws on two visits to Italy; a long poem "A Former Franciscan Visits Assisi" develops as a meditation on the author's own involvement with the Franciscans and his decision to leave the religious life. The second part of the book offers a series of poems in which the sensuous powers of a year spent in Italy transform the poet's usual preoccupations into something rich and strange, culminating with the metamorphosis of the old women of an Umbrian town into angels. 66P., Dedalus Press, 1998, 4, New Prress, 1992. Trade Paperback. 343 pages. A fine copy in wrappers (paperback). Lois Keith was thirty-five, with a successful career, two daughters, and a partner of many years, when she was hit by a car and paralyzed from the waist down. Over the next few years, she discovered both a community of disabled people and a paucity of literature and public understanding about their lives. In response, she began soliciting the manuscripts that make up "What Happened to You?," a candid, powerful, and often hilarious collection of fiction, essays, and poetry by women with disabilities. Coming from a wide range of backgrounds and ages, impairments and experiences, the thirty-six women included in the book write on everything from access to abuse, equality to equanimity, in what may well be the definitive volume on living with a disability. At the same time, this anthology tells a universal story about dealing with pain and illness, about overcoming prejudice and unjust legislation, and about the importance, regardless of an individual's fortitude, of creating a community., New Prress, 1992, 0<
