Living London

This book surveys the lives and experiences of hundreds of thousands of eighteenth-century non-elite Londoners in the evolution of the modern world.

Writer and adoptive Londoner Karen White knows what it takes to make the move to London. In Moon Living Abroad London, she shares her seasoned advice on transplanting to this bustling English city. From obtaining visas and arranging your finances to finding employment and choosing schools for your kids, White uses her firsthand knowledge of London to ensure that you have all the tools you need to navigate the ins and outs of the relocation process. Packed with essential information and must-have details on setting up daily life, plus extensive color and black and white photos, illustrations, and maps, Moon Living Abroad London will help you find your bearings as you settle into your new home and life abroad.

The book reconsiders the theme of living in a city by exploring new approaches that reveal a different way of integrating projects into the existing city. Due to their scale, extensive built environment, and efforts to grow the city from within, London and Tokyo face similar urban development issues but occupy cultural contexts in which themes of proximity, privacy, community, and public space take on different meanings and require distinct solutions. The housing projects of Nishizawa and Taylor show how inhabitants can live in a house, and, at the same time, enlarge the scale of their living to the neighbourhood and the city. They introduce, within the specificity of their cultures and philosophies, the idea that a housing project is a way of contributing to the atmosphere, the character and the life of the city. The book contains statements by Nishizawa and Taylor framing their approaches and ideas, accompanied by images and explanation of their projects and a discussion between them, as well as essays by Giovanna Borasi focusing on the relevance of this topic today, and by Peter Allison framing the architecta (TM)s approaches in a historical perspective and within the two cultures and a preface by Mirko Zardini. Cet ouvrage considA]re le vivre en milieu urbain en explorant de nouvelles approches pour intA(c)grer des projets de construction da (TM)habitations au sein de la ville existante. Tokyo et Londres sont confrontA(c)es A des problA]mes de dA(c)veloppement comparables, A(c)tant donnA(c) leur taille, leur urbanisation excessive et leurs efforts pour se dA(c)velopper au coeur mAame de la ville. Toutefois, les contextes culturels sont diffA(c)rents, les notions de voisinage, la (TM)espace privA(c) et public, la collectivitA(c) na (TM)ont pas la mAame signification et requiA]rent des solutions diffA(c)renciA(c)es. Les projets des deux architectes japonais et britannique Ryue Nishizawa et Stephen Taylor montrent comment des habitants peuvent vivre dans leur maison, tout en A(c)largissant leur espace de vie A la (TM)A(c)chelle de leur environnement immA(c)diat et de la ville. Nishizawa et Taylor, chacun avec ses spA(c)cificitA(c)s culturelles et philosophiques, indiquent comment un projet da (TM)habitation peut contribuer A la (TM)atmosphA]re, au caractA]re et A la vie de la ville. Ils dA(c)veloppent leur dA(c)marche et leurs idA(c)es au cours da (TM)un dialogue et dans de courtes dA(c)clarations, accompagnA(c)es par des photos et des explications sur leurs projets. Giovanna Borasi constate la pertinence du sujet pour notre A(c)poque dans un essai A(c)clairant, et Peter Allison met en perspective historique et culturelle la dA(c)marche des deux architectes.

Publisher Description

Say goodbye to calorie counting with this revolutionary weight-loss method. Macronutrients or 'macros' are the three main nutrient groups your body can't live without: carbohydrates, fats and protein. So many diets focus on calorie counting, but not all calories are created equal: your body doesn't process 20 calories of kale and 20 calories of chocolate in the same way because of their different macro breakdowns. Macro counting is all about balance. By eating the right ratio of carbohydrates, fats and protein, you can lose weight and build muscle in a healthy, sustainable way without avoiding the foods you love. This flexible approach to dieting encourages you to make smart food choices that guarantee results. The Macro Method will tell you everything you need to know about counting macros, including the latest research about how the diet works and its nutritional benefits. The 21-day plan will help you ditch the calorie counting for good, with more than 40 simple recipes to tempt you.

"I am going to write every single day and tell you about my life here in Spitalfields at the heart of London..." Drawing comparisons with Pepys, Mayhew and Dickens, the gentle author of Spitalfields Life has gained an extraordinary following in recent years, by writing hundreds of lively pen portraits of the infinite variety of people who live and work in the East End of London. Everything you seek in London can be found here - street life, street art, markets, diverse food, immigrant culture, ancient houses and history, pageants and parades, rituals and customs, traditional trades and old family businesses. Spend a night in the bakery at St John, ride the rounds with the Spitalfields milkman, drop in to the Golden Heart for a pint, meet a fourth-generation paper bag seller, a mudlark who discovers treasure in the river Thames, a window cleaner who sees ghosts and a master bell-founder whose business started in 1570. Join the bunny girls for their annual reunion, visit the wax sellers of Wentworth Street and discover the site of Shakespeare's first theatre. All of human life is here in Spitalfields Life.
