The palaces of Venice have long excited the wonder of visitors. These grand, ornate buildings seem to float on the water of the city's canals like the sea castles in a mariner's dream. But Juergen Schulz demonstrates that the origins of these residences lay on terra firma, in a widely disseminated building type that, during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, was adapted to the special circumstances of an Adriatic lagoon and the needs of the merchants who were turning this environment into a center of trade.

Mohandas K. Gandhi is one of the most inspiring figures of our time. In
his classic autobiography he recounts the story of his life and how he
developed his concept of active nonviolent resistance, which propelled
the Indian struggle for independence and countless other nonviolent
struggles of the twentieth century. In a new foreword, noted peace
expert and teacher Sissela Bok urges us to adopt Gandhi's "attitude of
experimenting, of tesing what will and will not bear close scrutiny,
what can and cannot be adapted to new circumstances," in order to bring
about change in our own lives and communities. All royalties earned on
this book are paid to the Navajivan Trust, founded by Gandhi, for use
in carrying on his work.
