Casa Guatemalteca: Architecture, Landscape, Interior Design

Book Description

Guatemala, land of the Mayas, produced one of the richest colonial expressions in the world during the Spanish Empire. This richness is seen in its domestic architecture, constructed by the native heirs of Tikal and creators of the most beautiful textiles of tropical America. This book is a journey through the interiors of the best houses in Guatemala and the rebuilt city of Antigua, where decoration combines prehispanic axes, colonial wood carvings and regional handicrafts into the surroundings of a cosmopolitan city, a ranch in the country, a weekend house on the Pacific Ocean, and more.

Absolutely the best!!!.......2005-08-05

I had wanted to get this book for years, and now that I have it I can't stop glancing at its pages. The book is so rich in history, the houses chosen are awesome, and Ange Bourda's work is impecable, as always. A book worth having on your collection to make you proud you are Guatemalan.

Makes me home sick!!!!!.......2001-09-29

I just move to the usa and because I wanted to have something that reminds me of home with the decoration of my apartment I had to buy it I saw the book in a furniture store in Antigua Guatemala days before I left but I couldt buy it!!
I decided to search and I found it, I am so happy

Courtyards & architecture at a wonderful price.......2001-04-22

We bought 2 of these books in Guatemala and paid almost twice Amazon's price! Bummer but we loved the book. Pictures are awsome and when we got home everyone wanted our books to keep so I was so pleased to find it on Amazon and at a bargain price.

Not only is it a wonderful collage of home styles and decorating ideas with professional quality photos but the history of the architecture is a very interesting read as well. I'd call this one of the best books we ever purchased. If you are interested in Guatemala and/or Central American architecture, I think you'll love this book.

Pase adelante a la Casa Guatemalteca.......2001-04-04

For a Guatemalan like myself, it is a thrill to have a book like this in order to show people some of the best our country has to offer in the way of art, architecture, use of space and color and textiles. I am sorry Amazon does not make this book available. However, it is found in both English and Spanish in Guatemala. Anybody going down there should pick it up. I picked one up during my last trip as a gift for my mother-in-law, a tenured ASID Interior Designer in San Jose, California (she was very thrilled!). My only 'complaint' is that they did not show more houses outside of the Antigua/Guatemala City circuit, e.g. Quetzaltenango, the great estates in Escuintla, etc. In fact, it is a bit too Antigua focused, which in that case it should have been called "Casa Antigua". However, do not let this detract from acquring this wonderful book.

magnificent.......2000-01-18

Great photographs, incredible mansions at antigua, ideal for people interested in decorating with antiques. Beautiful gardens, magnificent to watch how architects mix so artisticaly the ruins at antigua with the new homes without destroying the sense of such an old and historic city.

Book Description

Motherhood doesn't always wait for the perfect moment.

Unexpecting . . . again!
When the daughter she gave up for adoption appears in her life eager to meet both her birth parents, Amelia Copperstone nervously agrees to track down a man she hasn't seen in thirty years. what she finds is rekindled passion -- and, at age forty-eight -- a very unexpected pregnancy.

Imperfect Timing
April Renquist is riding the corporate fast track when pregnancy challenges her to sort out her priorities: from the fiancé she broke up with, to the fears that plague her . . . to the dawning realization that perhaps life doesn't stop with motherhood.

Home at Last
A couple shattered by the loss of their daughter opens their home to an orphaned Russian girl -- unprepared for the emotion she unleashes. As guilt and grief war with the need to love a child again, the remarkable little girl offers healing and hope.

Customer Reviews:

Stories not bad; production a mess.......2006-04-18

In the first story the cover blurb has the heroine named Amelia. In the story itself, she is Melanie throughout.

Inglath Cooper's contribution is a tear-jerker.

three fine family dramas .......2006-04-14

"A Second Chance" by Tara Taylor Quinn. They were high school sweethearts who went their separate ways though she was pregnant. Now the adult daughter Kylie that Melanie gave up for adoption over three decades ago has contacted her and wants to meet her biological father Denny even as Melanie ponders being pregnant again at forty-eight.

"Prompted to Mom" by Karen Rose Smith. Pregnant April is heading to California as she has a major employment opportunity in the Golden State. The father of her child Braden owns a restaurant in Oklahoma, which he prefers not to leave. There appears no room for compromise between this loving couple.

"On Angel's Wings" by Inglath Cooper. They had the perfect family as Rachel and Clay loved one another and their daughter. However, when their child died, their relationship collapsed too. That is until a Russian angel enters their lives needing both of them and giving them a second chance if they dare to take it.

Though seemingly more like a Next tale, these mature couples struggle with difficult relationship issues made even more complex by children. Fans of family dramas will enjoy this collection.

Book Description

In this groundbreaking book, Monica Chojnacka argues that the women of early modern Venice occupied a more socially powerful space than traditionally believed. Rather than focusing exclusively on the women of noble or wealthy merchant families, Chojnacka explores the lives of women -- unmarried, married, or widowed -- who worked for a living and helped keep the city running through their labor, services, and products.

Among Chojnacka's surprising findings is the degree to which these working women exercised control over their own lives. Many headed households and even owned their own homes; when necessary, they also took in and supported other women of their families. Some were self-employed, while others had jobs outside the home. They often moved freely about the city to conduct business, and they took legal action in the courts on their own behalf. On a daily basis, Venetian women worked, traveled, and contested obstacles in ways that made the city their own.
