Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Good. This timely and thought-provoking collection of essays offers a detailed examination of contemporary architectural practice in the 1990s. 'Reflections on Architectural Practices' in the Nineties grew out of a year-long symposium at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, which took stock of pressing issues in order to speculate on future paths for both education and practice. Among the many challenges the architecture profession is currently facing are a constantly volatile economic climate, rapid technological change, and a general globalization of society. Reflections presents 29 essays by leading critics, scholars, and designers, essays that grapple with these and other issues and provide strategies for confronting them. Several additional perspectives are presented through brief passages and images of built work, so that the whole forms a collage of broad, diverse viewpoints. George Baird, Thomas Fisher, and Andrew Saint are among those who provide overviews of architectural practice and education. Mack Scogin, Carl Sapers, and David Harvey, among others, discuss contemporary professional responsibilities and ethics. Forms of practice in the 1990s are discussed by a variety of participants including Max Bond, David Dillon, Rob Quigley, and Sharon Zukin. Rem Koolhaas, Saskia Sassen, and William Lazonick, with others, discuss the impact of the global economy on architecture. Finally, Peter G. Rowe presents some possible implications for design education. 'Reflections on Architectural Practice in the Nineties' is an essential compendium for anyone in the ever-changing future of architecture. Open copy with mild wear, clean pages - though some pencil notations are present in text block, tight binding.…

Soft Cover. Condition: New. Collector Bookstore Notes: This book provides the collector of the Rock Island Arsenal Model 1903 rifle with detailed information that was previously unavailable. Publishers Description: This book provides both the beginning and advanced collector of the Rock Island Arsenal Model 1903 rifle with a depth of information heretofore unavailable. The standard reference works on the M1903 include little detailed information specific to the R.I.A. '03, while this book is devoted to the Rock Island Arsenal Model 1903 rifle. Examined in depth are all aspects of this most interesting '03 variant. In order to identify the differences between the Rock Island and Springfield '03 rifles, details on both are examined. Therefore, the Springfield '03 collector will also derive benefit from this book. Chapters are devoted to the history of Rock Island Arsenal, its first M1903 rifle production period (1904-1913), early alterations, its second rifle production period (World War I), post-War events, barrel date/serial number correlation, production numbers, the 1919 National Match rifles, final inspectors (cartouches), bayonets, scabbards, slings, marksmanship badges, and the Rock Island Arsenal Museum. 121 photographs and drawings.…

Soft Cover. Condition: New. Please note: the Bowker database shows this item is hardcover; it is in fact softcover. Collector Bookstore Excerpt: The purpose of this book is to inform the collector of details to be expected of an original, or correct, Model 1917 rifle - or M1917. Such details include finish, dates of manufacture and serial number correlation, manufacturer and inspection markings, rebuild marks, and differences in parts between its manufacturers models - Model 1917 Winchester, Model 1917 Remington, and Model 1917 Eddystone. Interestingly, these guns were never produced in Enfield, rendering the M1917 Enfield a misnomer. Publisher's Full Description: UNITED STATES RIFLE MODEL OF 1917 provides both the beginning and advanced collector of the Model 1917 rifle with a depth of information heretofore unavailable. The very existence of the Model 1917 rifle was almost accidental. When America entered World War One it had but 600,000 Model 1903 rifles with which to arm a growing military. Government armories were unable to supply the additional millions of rifles required. Because three American firms were already making rifles for Britain it was possible that an American version of the British Pattern 14 rifle could be produced quickly in significant numbers. It saved the day generations ago, but is little understood as a collectable military item or in historic significance. The purpose of this book is to inform the collector of details to be expected of an original, or correct, Model 1917 rifle. Such details include finish, dates of manufacture and serial number correlation, manufacturer and inspection markings, rebuild marks, and differences in parts between the three manufacturers: Winchester, Remington, and Eddystone. The accoutrements chapter includes information on bayonets and scabbards, slings, grenade launchers, cleaning equipment, and much more. Additionally, this book provides a historic background leading up to manufacture of the rifle. Total quantities of rifles made by each manufacturer are given, as are dates of first shipment to the Government and dates of last manufacture. Finally, the rifle's use after World War One by the U.S. and several foreign countries is addressed. If you are interested in the study of the US MODEL OF 1917 rifle and have been disappointed by the lack of information available, then this book is for you.…

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 58 pages. Soft covers. Black & White photographs and charts. The U.S. Rifle Model 1903 has been well described by Brophy and Campbell. The collecting of these rifles has been discussed by Feiler and Canfield. Most of what these writers had to say concerns the Springfirld Armory '03, with relatively little comment about the Rock Island Arsenal version of the same rifle. Most of Rock Island's activities in making the '03 were the same as Springfield's, and the parts were interchangeable. There is no reason to repeat here all that has been written about the Springfield. This book is primarily to identify and discuss aspects of the Rock Island '03 whch set it apart from the Springfield. To a large extent these are production figures and physical markings that the observant collector would be curious about. Scarce. A Near Fine copy with only light use.…
