The Architecture of William Nichols: Building the Antebellum South in North Carolina; Alabama; and Mississippi is the first comprehensive biography and monograph of a significant yet overlooked architect in the American South. William Nichols designed three major university campusesmdash;the University of North Carolina; the University of Alabama; and the University of Mississippi. He also designed the first state capitols of North Carolina; Alabama; and Mississippi. Nicholsrsquo;s architecture profoundly influenced the built landscape of the South but due to fire; neglect; and demolition; much of his work was lost and history has nearly forgotten his tremendous legacy.In his research onsite and through archives in North Carolina; Alabama; Louisiana; and Mississippi; Paul Hardin Kapp has produced a narrative of the life and times of William Nichols that weaves together the elegant work of this architect with the aspirations and challenges of the Antebellum South. It is richly illustrated with over two hundred archival photographs and drawings from the Historic American Building Survey.

Hace aos leiacute; "El quinto diacute;a" de Frank Schatzing y uno de las muchos tramas era sobre queacute; pasaba si la corriente del golfo se deteniacute;a. Me quedeacute; con esa cosquilla de saber maacute;s sobre la corriente del golfo. Cuando vi este libro inmediatamente lo compreacute;.El libro se divide (o asiacute; yo lo divido) en tema teacute;cnico; tema histoacute;rico y tema animales de la corrente.Es interesantiacute;simo; el autor lo narra como viejo amigo de la corriente.Si te gustan los libros de difusioacute;n cientiacute;fica eacute;ste es una buena opcioacute;n.
