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...

The Naval War of 1812 by Theodore Roosevelt, ISBN 0375754199
Published when Theodore Roosevelt was only twenty-three years old, The Naval War of 1812 was immediately hailed as a literary and scholarly triumph, and it is still considered the definitive book on the subject. It caused considerable controversy for its bold refutation of earlier accounts of the war, but its brilliant analysis and balanced tone left critics floundering, changed the course of U.S. military history by renewing interest in our obsolete forces, and set the young author and political hopeful on a path to greatness. Roosevelt's inimitable style and robust narrative make The Naval War of 1812 enthralling, illuminating, and utterly essential to every armchair historian.
