Описание:

Pigeon Prayers and Praises is a unique collection of Christian poetry by Mary Ahlstrom Palmquist, a former English teacher and egular chapel homilist at Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minnesota, during the years she was in their employ. Ordinary domesticated pigeons and fancy show pigeons become the metaphoric voices of Christians carrying the message of salvation and redemption. They offer the prayers and praises of ordinary people who love and worship God. They struggle to maintain flight patterns propelling them to their destination, intimacy with a gracious and loving Father.

Worship and prayer are central themes in the 200 poems included in this fascinating collection. Others speak to the condition and longings of the heart. Trumpeter Pigeons with their odd vocalizations and calls perfectly illustrate the different voices of prayer; Fantail Pigeons are a flashy breed, displaying beauty and grace and training their young to fly; Damascene Pigeons, who look almost blind to the naked eye, are a rare breed, trained for ample flying time (the author describes them as "new beginning pigeons;" Rock Pigeons are often seen in rocky fortress-like cliffs; Helmet Pigeons are a metaphor for Christians in spiritual battle; Archangel pigeons are ministering angels; King Pigeons are sacrificed for food; Pouter Pigeons are puffed up with pride; and Homing Pigeons are obedient birds, always faithful to return to their master.

Описание: After more than 35 years "in the trenches" as an architect, specialist consultant and now quality director for a large North American construction company, Brian Palmquist has written An Architect's Guide to Construction in order to share a balanced wealth of knowledge and experience about the construction phase of building projects. Considering both the consultant and contractor perspectives, he uses 70 true tales to illustrate many of those moments in the building construction phase that confound and confuse designers, builders and their clients. He proposes practical solutions in straightforward language and illustrations targeted to students, interns and young practitioners as well as to experienced professionals. Lavishly illustrated with more than 200 diagrams, charts and useful forms, the book uses its 70 tales to introduce practical ways to design and build more efficiently, based on just four principles and three simple Internet-based toolsets. An Architect's Guide to Construction concludes with an invitation to link to a freely available sample project on the Internet, illustrating Palmquist's approach. The reader is provided with detailed instructions and invited to "...borrow what you will, challenge what you disagree with and contribute what you think makes your approach better."
