A Place of My Own: The Education of an Amateur Builder by Michael Pollan, ISBN 0385319908
"A room of one's own: is there anybody who hasn't at one time or another wished for such a place, hasn't turned those soft words over until they'd assumed a habitable shape?"
When writer Michael Pollan decided to plant a garden, the result was an award-winning treatise on the borders between nature and contemporary life, the acclaimed bestseller Second Nature. Now Pollan turns his sharp insight to the craft of building, as he recounts the process of designing and constructing a small one-room structure on his rural Connecticut property--a place in which he hoped to read, write and daydream, built with his two own unhandy hands.
Invoking the titans of architecture, literature and philosophy, from Vitrivius to Thoreau, from the Chinese masters of feng shui to the revolutionary Frank Lloyd Wright, Pollan brilliantly chronicles a realm of blueprints, joints and trusses as he peers into the ephemeral nature of "houseness" itself. From the spark of an idea to the search for a perfect site to the raising of a ridgepole, Pollan revels in the infinitely detailed, complex process of creating a finished structure. At once superbly written, informative and enormously entertaining, A Place of My Own is for anyone who has ever wondered how the walls around us take shape--and how we might shape them ourselves.
A Place of My Own recounts his two-and-a-half-year journey of discovery in an absorbing narrative that deftly weaves the day-to-day work of design and building--from siting to blueprint, from the pouring of foundations to finish carpentry--with reflections on everything form the power of place to shape our lives to the question of what constitutes "real work" in a technologicalsociety.

Warning: This movie includes material different from the orginally rated theatrical release. The unrated scenes contain mature subject matter. Get ready for the Unrated and Out-of-control version of "Old School" that you couldn't see in theaters! What's a guy supposed to do when he catches the early flight home and finds his girlfriend in bed with a room full of naked strangers? Return to college and start a fraternity! Before you can say "wild and wet wrestling," Frank "The Tank" (Will Ferrell, "Saturday Night Live"); Mitch (Luke Wilson, "Legally Blonde") and Beanie (Vince Vaughn, "Swingers") have their own frat raging with out-of-control antics. But when things get too wild, the dean sets out to shut them down. The laughs are top of the class (even if the guys aren't!) in the hit comedy from director Todd Phillips ("Road Trip").

The Olympic-Class Ships: Olympic, Titanic, Britannic
Sitting around a dining-room table in 1907, the owners of the White Star Line discussed their competition to the newly-built Cunard liners, "Lusitania and "Mauretania. From that smoke-filled room came the first designs of three White Star superliners, "Olympic and "Titanic were to be built at Harland & Wolff's yard in Belfast, while the third ship, "Britannic, was to follow after construction had been completed on the first pair of sisters. Each ship was subtly different. Lessons learned from the service of "Olympic were put into practice for "Titanic. With the loss, on her maiden voyage, of "Titanic, the hull design was radically changed for the third sister ship. The new double hull, however, did not prevent "Britannic from sinking in less than an hour in the Aegean after she hit a German mine in 1916. Illustrated with many rare images of all three vessels, only one of which survived in regular service, this is the definitive history of the most famous sister ships of all time.
