Architects increasingly operate on a global scene, & just as numerous British architects have proved highly successful at winning projects abroad, so architects from Europe, the United States & the Far East are making their mark in Britain. One thinks, for example, of Daniel Libeskind's Imperial War Museum & Tadao Ando's new square & pavilion project, both in Manchester, or of Frank Gehry's Cancer Care Centre in Dundee. Well-known British practices such as Future Systems, Alsop Architects & Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners also inevitably feature prominently in the exciting international story of the country's recent architectural renaissance, but so too do newer, smaller practices, including many based outside the capital. This book engagingly describes & illustrates over 100 outstanding projects, both large & small, floor around Britain--none completed earlier than 2001, & some still under construction or at planning stage. Covering every conceivable building type, from houses, offices & department stores to theatres, heritage sites & museums, this book makes a forceful contribution to the continuing debate about the role of architecture in forging a new environment & underpinning the growth of a healthy society. ...

New American Stories

The short story is a barometer for the state and shape of literature. New American Stories presents the boldest, most innovative and most resonant fiction coming out of the American literary scene. Ben Marcus, author of The Flame Alphabet and Leaving the Sea, has here curated an anthology that gives the lay of the literary land. From established masters of the form like Don DeLillo and Lydia Davis to neoteric trailblazers such as Rebecca Curtis and Rachel B. Glaser, this collection sees Marcus trying to `prove that the distinctions we erect between styles and approaches to fiction can be essentially meaningless`. The result is a must-read, must-own volume for readers of literary fiction.
