Mathematical Discourse: Language, Symbolism And Visual Images

This book develops a theory of mathematics as a multi-semiotic discourse from the perspective of M. A. K. Halliday's systemic functional linguistics. From this perspective mathematical discourse is seen to involve the use of the three semiotic resources of language, visual images and mathematical symbolism. These semiotic resources are considered as functional sign systems which are organised grammatically. O'Halloran suggests that mathematical texts represent specific semiotic choices from the available grammatical systems. From this she articulates the ways in which a social semiotic perspective can inform mathematics teaching and learning.

A Living Architecture: Frank Lloyd Wright and Taliesin Architects

Three hundred full-color illustrations and elucidating text showcase the work of the Taliesin Architects, a firm started by the students and coworkers of legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright after his death in 1959. Guided by a desire to create buildings in harmony with nature; to make a positive contribution to the way people live; and to keep Wright's vision alive, this book offers an overview of Taliesin Architects' work of the past forty years and a succinct summary of his design principles.

"John Rattenbury worked and studied with Frank Lloyd Wright for eight years. Since he cofounded Taliesin Architects, he has designed more than two hundred architectural and planning projects. Rattenbury teaches design and professional practice at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture and lectures throughout the United States.
