Hot Art Cold War – Western and Northern European Writing on American Art 1945-1990

Hot Art Cold War – Western and Northern European Writing on American Art 1945-1990

Hot Art Cold War – Northern and Western European Writing on American Art 1945-1990 is one of two text anthologies that trace the reception of American art in Europe during the Cold War era through primary sources. With the exception of those originally published in English the majority of these texts are translated into English for the first time from eight languages and are introduced by scholarly essays. They offer a representative selection of the diverse responses to American art in Great Britain Ireland France Belgium the Netherlands West Germany (FRG) Austria Switzerland Denmark Norway Sweden and Finland. There was no single European discourse as attitudes to American art were determined by a wide range of ideological political social cultural and artistic positions that varied considerably across the European nations. This volume and its companion Hot Art Cold War – Southern and Eastern European Writing on American Art 1945-1990 offer the reader a unique opportunity to compare how European art writers introduced and explained contemporary American art to their many and varied audiences. Whilst many are fluent in one or two foreign languages few are able to read all twenty-five languages represented in the two volumes. These ground-breaking publications significantly enrich the fields of American art studies and European art criticism. This book together with its companion volume Hot Art Cold War – Southern and Eastern European Writing on American Art 1945-1990 is a joint initiative of the Terra Foundation for American Art and the editors of the journal Art in Translation at the University of Edinburgh. The journal launched in 2009 publishes English-language translations of the most significant texts on art and visual cultures presently only available only in their source language. It is committed to widening the perspectives of art history making it more pluralist in terms of its authors viewpoints and subject matter. | Hot Art Cold War – Western and Northern European Writing on American Art 1945-1990

Solar Heating Systems for Houses A Design Handbook for Solar Combisystems

Solar Heating Systems for Houses A Design Handbook for Solar Combisystems

The use of solar collectors for domestic hot water over the past 20 years has demonstrated that solar heating systems are now founded on a reliable and mature technology. However the development of similar but more complex systems to provide both domestic hot water and space heating (solar combisystems) resulted in a diverse range of different designs that were not carefully optimized to reflect local climate and practice. Application of energy-efficient building strategies such as improved thermal insulation and use of low temperature heat supply systems is becoming increasingly common. This trend combined with growing environmental awareness and the subsidies available in certain countries favours an increase in market share for solar combisystems. The need for guidelines in selecting the appropriate system and designing this system according to the specific needs of the building and the local environment is therefore now increasingly pressing. This book fills that need. | Solar Heating Systems for Houses A Design Handbook for Solar Combisystems
