It tells the story of aerial warfare from the earliest bombing raids and in World War 1 through to the London Blitz and Allied bombings of Europe and Japan. These are compared with more recent American air campaigns over Cambodia and Vietnam in the 1960s and 1970s, the NATO bombings during the Balkan Wars of the 1990s and subsequent bombings in the aftermath of 9/11. Beginning with the premonitions and predictions of air warfare and its terrible consequences, the book focuses on air raids precautions, evacuation and preparations for total war, and resilience, both of citizens and of cities. The legacies of air raids, from reconstruction to commemoration, are also discussed. While a key theme of the book is the futility of many air campaigns, care is taken to situate them in their historical context. The Blitz Companion also includes a guide to documentary and visual resources for students and general readers. Uniquely accessible, comparative and broad in scope this book draws key conclusions about civilian experience in the twentieth century and what these might mean for military engagement and civil reconstruction processes once conflicts have been resolved. 517 $aBlitz Companion 606 $aAir warfare 615 0$aAir warfare. 676 $a358.4 700 $aClapson$b Mark$0866843 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476794403321 996 $aThe Blitz companion$92010524 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03516nam 22006135 450 001 9910595060403321 005 20251113184013.0 010 $a3-031-08946-4 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-08946-6 035 $a(CKB)5840000000091636 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7101958 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7101958 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-08946-6 035 $a(PPN)264957113 035 $a(iGPub)SPNA0092505 035 $a(EXLCZ)995840000000091636 100 $a20220924d2022 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aArchitectural and Urban Subsymmetries /$fby Jin-Ho Park 205 $a1st ed. 2022. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Birkhäuser,$d2022. 215 $a1 online resource (272 pages) 225 1 $aMathematics and the Built Environment,$x2512-1561 ;$v6 311 08$a3-031-08945-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aSpatial Transformations of Shapes -- Plane Symmetry Groups -- Cayley Diagrams.-Subshapes and Subsymmetries -- Subsymmetries of the Point Groups in Architectural Designs -- Subsymmetries of the Frieze groups in Architectural Designs -- Subsymmetries of the Wallpaper Groups in Architecture and Urban Designs. 330 $aThis book focuses on symmetries in the analysis and synthesis of architectural designs. Crucial in the history of architecture, principles of symmetry provided the means to achieve balance and harmony of spatial composition in architecture. Less well known is the importance of symmetry principles in the analysis of the distinct constituents in a contemporary architectural design which may, at first glance, appear disorganized or even random. The revelation of different hierarchical levels wherein various types of symmetry or subsymmetry are superimposed provides a key for deciphering the underlying structure of spatial logic. The interaction between local and global subsymmetries is of particular interest. Operating with symmetry concepts in this manner offers architects, designers and students an explicit method for understanding the symmetrical logics of sophisticated designs and gaining insights into new designs. This book has two complementary objectives: to explore the fundamental principles of architectural composition founded on the algebraic structure of symmetry groups in mathematics and to apply the principles in the analysis and synthesis of architectural and urban designs. By viewing and decomposing architectural and urban designs in this manner, the hidden spatial logic and underlying order in a design become transparent. 410 0$aMathematics and the Built Environment,$x2512-1561 ;$v6 606 $aMathematics 606 $aArts 606 $aArchitecture$xMathematics 606 $aGroup theory 606 $aMathematics in Art and Architecture 606 $aGroup Theory and Generalizations 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aArts. 615 0$aArchitecture$xMathematics. 615 0$aGroup theory. 615 14$aMathematics in Art and Architecture. 615 24$aGroup Theory and Generalizations. 676 $a729 676 $a720.151 700 $aPak$b Chin-ho$01311362 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910595060403321 996 $aArchitectural and urban subsymmetries$93030304 997 $aUNINA
