Bøger af June Williamson

My name is June, and I love to create delicious Thai dishes that my whole family enjoys. My friends have begged me to write down some of my recipes, and so I have taken on the project of documenting all of the recipes that I use on a daily basis. To validate the authenticity of my recipes, I was raised by my Thai mother in America. I was born in Thailand, but my father's military life allowed spotted living in Thailand for a total of 9 years. With pure joy, I vividly recall the sights, sounds, and smells of food vendors all over Bangkok, Pattaya, Udorn, and Chiang Mai. I've watched and helped my mother cook without recipes for years; so writing a recipe book has been challenging ... but oh, so much fun!! I've been enjoying my summer and have been busy cooking for ABC4 in Utah on "The Daily Dish" and will be on again "Good Things Utah."

Updated with a new Introduction by the authors and a foreword by Richard Florida, this book is a comprehensive guide book for urban designers, planners, architects, developers, environmentalists, and community leaders that illustrates how existing suburban developments can be redesigned into more urban and more sustainable places.

A brand-new collection of 32 case studies that further demonstrate the retrofitting of suburbiaThis amply-illustrated book, second in a series, documents how defunct shopping malls, parking lots, and the past century's other obsolete suburban development patterns are being retrofitted to address current urgent challenges they weren't designed for: improving public health, increasing resilience in the face of climate change, leveraging social capital for equity, supporting an aging society, competing for jobs, and disrupting automobile dependence.Case Studies in Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban Design Strategies for Urgent Challenges provides summaries, data, and references on how these challenges manifest in suburbia and discussion of successful urban design strategies to address them in Part I. Part II documents how innovative design strategies are implemented in a range of northern American contexts and market conditions. From modest interventions with big ripple effects to ambitious do-overs, examples of redevelopment, reinhabitation, and regreening of changing suburban places from coast to coast are described in depth in 32 brand new case studies.* Written by the authors of the highly influential Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban Design Solutions for Redesigning Suburbs* Demonstrates changes that can and already have been realized in suburbia by focusing on case studies of retrofitted suburban places* Illustrated in full-color with photos, maps, plans, and diagramsFull of replicable lessons and creative responses to ongoing problems and potentials with conventional suburban form, Case Studies in Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban Design Strategies for Urgent Challenges is an important book for students and professionals involved in urban design, architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, development, civil engineering, public health, public policy, and governance.
