Groundscrapers by Ivor Richards, ISBN 0470843543
Grounscrapers and subscrapers are the antithesis here of the environmentally-responsive Skyscrapers that are designed by Ken Yeang. These are the eco-medium-rise buildings, the roof-vegetated underground buildings and the landscape-driven masterplans produced by his firm Hamzah & Yeang.
These building typologies have a different set of ecological design consequences on the natural man-made environment, not due to their intensity and sheer height as in the case of the skyscrapers, but arising from their extensive foot-prints and ground coverage.
Through the many projects pro9fusely and densely illustrated here, Yeang demonstrates his innovative ideas towards handling the ecological design of such buildings and, in particular, expounds and further develops his ideas for creating new 'landscape bridges' for linking ecologically-disparate vegetated land. He shows how the concept through its improved eco-system connectivity can helf further species migration, interaction and enhance biodiversity for the locality
The many schemes and designs also explore his ideas for the retention and the creation of new 'ecological corridors' in the planning schemes, and in some examples show how these can integrate with the high-rise built forms. This book authored by Ivor Richards, provides a valuable source of ideas and reference for architects, town planners, urban designers and those involved in master planning and environmental planning work, seeking to design ecologically-responsive low-rise and medium-rise buildings. This book is a valuable companion to the other books on Ken Yeang's ex-high-rise buildings.

Farm Boy
Set on a farm in rural Devon, "Farm Boy" is a collection of Grandpa's reminiscences and stories touchingly told to his grandson. Joey was the last working horse on the farm, and the apple of Grandpa's eye. Joey was sent away from the farm to be a warhorse in WWI. Grandpa had joined the cavalry in order to find, and fight, with Joey. Farm Boy brings us forward fifty years with Grandpa not only telling his grandson, Joey's story but also a 'shameful secret' which he has held for years -- Grandpa has never learned to read and write. The story is set in Iddesleigh in Devon and lovingly evokes the bonds between farm and farmer; grandson and grandfather. This special new edition superbly captures the spirit of rural life.

Wieland; Or the Transformation and Memoirs of Carwin, the Biloquist by Charles Brockden Brown, ISBN 0192836803
One of the earliest major American novels, Wieland (1798) is a thrilling tale of suspense and intrigue set in rural Pennsylvania in the 1760s. Based on an actual case of a New York farmer who murdered his family, the novel employs Gothic devices and sensational elements such as spontaneous
combustion, ventriloquism, and religious fanaticism. Also included is Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist, the unfinished sequel to Wieland, in which Brown considers power and manipulation while tracing Carwin's career as a disciple of the utopist Ludloe.
