Hoagland examines Alaska's architectural history as it was developed by three major cultural groups: native Alaskans, Russian settlers, and Americans from the Lower 48. Divided into six regions--South Central, Southeastern, Interior, Northern, Western, and Southwestern--the book's entries include such structures as aboriginal houses made of driftwood or whalebone, Russian Orthodox churches, and versions of architectural styles imported (albeit revised for Alaska's frigid climate) from California, Seattle, New England, and elsewhere in the contiguous United States.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346121036049,"sku":"CIN0195073630G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0195073630.jpg?v=1751037524"},{"product_id":"row-house-in-washington-dc-book-alison-k-hoagland-9780813949451","title":"The Row House in Washington, DC","description":"With The Row House in Washington, DC, the architectural historian and preservationist Alison Hoagland turns the lucid prose style and keen analytical skill that characterize all her scholarship to the subject of the Washington row house. Row houses have long been an important component of the housing stock of many major American cities, predominantly sheltering the middle classes comprising clerks, tradespeople, and artisans. In Washington, with its plethora of government workers, they are the dominant typology of the historical city. Hoagland identifies six principal row house types--two-room, L-shaped, three-room, English-basement, quadrant, and kitchen-forward--and documents their wide-ranging impact, as sources of income and statements of attainment as well as domiciles for nuclear families or boarders, homeowners or renters, long tenancy or short stays. Through restrictive covenants on some house sales, they also illustrate the pervasive racism that has haunted the city. This topical study demonstrates at once the distinctive character of the Washington row house and the many similarities it shares with row houses in other mid-Atlantic cities. In a broader sense, it also shows how urban dwellers responded to a challenging concatenation of spatial, regulatory, financial, and demographic limitations, providing a historical model for new, innovative designs.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50630674317585,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50630676447505,"sku":"NGR9780813949451","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813949459.jpg?v=1763483255"},{"product_id":"mine-towns-book-alison-k-hoagland-9780816665679","title":"Mine Towns","description":"During the nineteenth century, the Keweenaw Peninsula of Northern Michigan was the site of America’s first mineral land rush as companies hastened to profit from the region’s vast copper deposits. In order to lure workers to such a remote location-and work long hours in dangerous conditions-companies offered not just competitive wages but also helped provide the very infrastructure of town life in the form of affordable housing, schools, health-care facilities, and churches. The first working-class history of domestic life in Copper Country company towns during the boom years of 1890 to 1918, Alison K. Hoagland’s Mine Towns investigates how the architecture of a company town revealed the paternal relationship that existed between company managers and workers-a relationship that both parties turned to their own advantage. The story of Joseph and Antonia Putrich, immigrants from Croatia, punctuates and illustrates the realities of life in a booming company town. While company managers provided housing as a way to develop and control a stable workforce, workers often rejected this domestic ideal and used homes as an economic resource, taking in boarders to help generate further income. Focusing on how the exchange between company managers and a largely immigrant workforce took the form of negotiation rather than a top-down system, Hoagland examines surviving buildings and uses Copper Country’s built environment to map this remarkable connection between a company and its workers at the height of Michigan’s largest land rush.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50925454819601,"sku":"CIN0816665672G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51334295060753,"sku":"CIN0816665672VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52146522489105,"sku":"NLS9780816665679","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0816665672.jpg?v=1764845620"},{"product_id":"bathroom-book-alison-k-hoagland-9781440852664","title":"The Bathroom","description":"This book gives a complete history of the American bathroom and describes how the smallest yet most complex room in the American house is at the nexus of personal behavior and public investment. The Bathroom: A Social History of Cleanliness and the Body is the first scholarly treatment of the American bathroom—as a space in the house, through nearly two centuries. After a brief nod to precedents set by other countries and to elements of the bathroom that may be placed in different parts of the house, this book traces the development of the bathroom in the American house since the Civil War, when the bathroom began to take shape.  The bathroom is considered in light of many socially relevant themes, such as cleanliness, sanitation, technology, and consumerism. Taken as a whole, the book bridges the gap between the public and private infrastructure of the bathroom and reveals the ways in which the space transforms its occupants into consumers. Its language is jargon-free, making it ideal for students, general readers, and researchers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52489615311121,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52489616687377,"sku":"NLS9781440852664","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781440852664.jpg?v=1759878919"},{"product_id":"army-architecture-in-the-west-book-alison-k-hoagland-9780806136202","title":"Army Architecture in the West","description":"During the nineteenth century, the U.S. military built numerous forts across the country as it stationed more and more troops west of the Mississippi.  When most people think about military forts in the American West, they imagine imposing strongholds, meccas of defense enclosed by high, palisaded walls.  This popular view, however, is far from reality.In Army Architecture in the West, Alison K. Hoagland dispels the myth that all western forts were uniform structures of military might churned out according to a master set of plans authorized by army officials in Washington, D.C.  Instead, by examining three exemplary Wyoming forts, Hoagland reveals that widely varying architectural designs were used to construct western forts.  With more than 120 illustrations, Army Architecture in the West offers a new way of using architecture to gain insight into the role of the army in the American West.  By focusing on the tangible remains of the army's presence in the West, Hoagland presents a new vision of American military history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52979461849361,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52979462537489,"sku":"CIN0806136200G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780806136202.jpg?v=1767353000"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-alison-k-hoagland.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
