Book Description
Since the early 1960s, the rigor and conceptual clarity of Alan Colquhoun's criticism and theory have consistently stimulated debate and have served as an impetus for the pursuit of new directions in both theory and practice. This collection of essays displays Colquhoun's concern with developing a coherent discourse for the rampant pluralism that dominates contemporary architecture. Alan Colquhoun is a practicing architect and Professor of Architecture at Princeton University. His previous collection of essays received the 1985 Architectural Critics Award.

Book Description
The Space Reader provides a highly pertinent and contemporary understanding of space for a new generation of students and architects. It espouses a definition of space that is heterogeneous (an object or system consisting of a diverse range of different items). An example of heterogeneous space, for instance, is Manhattan where complex and multiple social and technological conditions are overlaid. (This is to be contrasted with highly centralised and ordered Modernist cities.) With the onset of globalisation and the Web, heterogeneneous space, with its emphasis on differentiation, is more relevant to the contemporary condition, which encourages the mixing of space, than a much more static conception of Modernist space. This book foregrounds spatial issues and the potential of heterogeneous space through a threefold strategy: 1) Its compilation of seminal essays on the discourse of heterogeneous space. These are to include previously published key texts by Reyner Banham, Andrew Benjamin, Robin Evans, Jeff Kipnis and Henri Lefebvre, as well as new texts by important contemporary commentators, such as Mark Cousins, Werner Durth and Anthony Vidler. 2) By commenting on these seminal texts and drawing links between them. 3) By distilling from the first two efforts a contemporary outlook on a discourse of heterogeneous space that is of future significance.

Book Description
En este tomo, combinamos dos libros sobre el matrimonio y las enseñanzas de la Iglesia Católica acerca de los divorciados y vueltos a casarse y la recepción de la comunión por ellos. El primer libro, El hombre no separe lo que Dios ha unido: La superación de la Ley mosaica en las enseñanzas del Nuevo Testamento sobre la indisolubilidad del matrimonio, se trata de las raíces bíblicas de las enseñanzas de la Iglesia sobre la comunión y el divorcio. El segundo, Salvar el matrimonio o hundir la civilización, se trata extensamente del recién Sínodo de la Familia, de la doctrina católica, y de las enseñanzas de la Iglesia Católica en tiempos de dificultades. Un libro actual, será de mucho provecho para sacerdotes, religioso, y laicos.
