Aeroform: Designing for Wind and Air Movement provides a comprehensive introduction to applying aerodynamic principles to architectural design. It presents a challenge to architects and architectural engineers to give shape to the wind and express its influence on architectural form. The wind pushes and pulls on our buildings, infiltrates and exfiltrates through cracks and openings, and lifts roofs during storm events. It can also offer opportunities for resource conservation through natural ventilation or a biophilic connection between indoors and out. This book provides basic concepts in fluid mechanics such as materials, forces, equilibrium, pressure, and hydrostatics; introduces the reader to the concept of airflow; and provides strategies for designing for wind resistance, especially in preventing uplift. Natural ventilation and forced airflow are explored using examples such as Thomas Herzog’s Hall 26 in Hanover, RWE Ag building in Essen Germany, and the Kimbell Art Museum in Texas. Finally, issues of wind and airflow measurement are addressed. A reference for students and practitioners of architecture and architectural engineering, this book is richly illustrated and presents complex concepts of aerodynamic engineering in easy-to-understand language. It prepares the architect or architectural engineer to design buildings that are visually expressive of a dialogue between wind and built form.

As James Jones waited for his heart operation and began to recover from it, he had the Psalms with him day and night, and these are reflections based on each occasion the word ''heart'' is used in the Psalms (70 times). These reflections invite the reader to make a new relationship with the psalms, and with the familiar translation of them in the Book of Common Prayer. They include a prayer to say in response to each meditation.

It follows Taylor and Dogg two young handsome men on a perilous journey from Texas to New York meeting many characters such as Elephant Man, Sugar Daddy and Reverend Omar among many others.

Dave Hirsh falder i søvn på en bus i Chicago og vågner først af sin brandert, da bussen stopper i hans fødeby, Parkman i Illinois. Dave har ikke sat fod i Parkman, siden hans storebror Frank for 16 år siden sendte ham på kostskole. I mellemtiden er Frank blevet en respekteret forretningsmand i det lille samfund, og hans oprørske lillebrors pludselige tilstedeværelse truer hans position og gode omdømme. "De rodløse" er en moderne klassiker, der foregår i de fire år mellem 2. verdenskrig og Koreakrigen. Efterhånden som romanen skrider frem, står dens centrale tema klart. Det angår illusion – det gabende svælg imellem hvad mennesket tror, det gør, og hvad det i virkeligheden gør, imellem ét menneskes opfattelse af virkeligheden og et andets. James Jones skildrer med sjælden klarhed, styrke og dristighed gennemsnitsamerikanerens tilværelse, tanker og tilbøjeligheder.

"Den blodrøde streg" fortæller den usminkede sandhed om den mest rå og brutale krig nogensinde, hvor mænds laveste instinkter blandes med de ædleste følelser. Endnu engang tager James Jones os med til fronten på Guadalcanal i Stillehavet under 2. verdenskrig, som også dannede baggrund for hans romaner "Herfra til evigheden" og "Feber", og hvor han selv gjorde tjeneste under krigen. James Jones har tegnet en lang række portrætter af kompagniets soldater, men billedet af kompagnichefen, kaptajn Stein, står allerstærkest. Han bliver stillet over for at skulle sende sine folk ud i angreb på de japanske stillinger, vel vidende at det betyder døden. Han er et gennemsnitsmenneske, der først knuges af frygt, men efterhånden vokser med ansvaret. "Utvivlsomt et mesterværk." - Chicago Daily News "Blandt det allerbedste, der er skrevet om 2. verdenskrig." - Pittsburgh Press "Noget nær et mirakel af en krigsroman." - The Atlantic Monthly James Jones’ krigstrilogi består af "Herfra til evigheden" (1951), "Den blodrøde streg" (1962) og "Feber" (1978). Alle værker kan læses uafhængigt af hinanden. James Jones (1921-1977) var en amerikansk forfatter, der er mest kendt for sine romaner om 2. verdenskrig og efterkrigstiden. James Jones var selv soldat i infanteridivisionen under 2. verdenskrig og blev såret i slaget om Guadalcanal. En af hans mest berømte romaner "Den tynde røde linie" er inspireret af hans egne oplevelser ved dette slag. James Jones’ roman "Herfra til evigheden" vandt National Book Award i 1952.
