Kant Troubleoffers a highly original and incisive reading of some of the lesser known aspects of Kantian thought. Throughout Morgan challenges the widely held view of Kant as the exponent of concrete and rigid rationality and argues that his airtight ''architectonic'' mode of reasoning overlooks certain topics which destabilise it. These include temporary forms of architecture, such as landscape gardening; examples which undermine the autonomy of the Kantian subject, for example, freemasonry; and the concept of radical evil, all of which suggest that Kant''s thought was capable of accommodating troubling and subversive themes. Morgan''s compelling discussion arrives at a fresh and ground breaking perspective on Kant whereby he is no longer to be regarded as a concrete rationalist, but as a daring thinker, not afraid to entertain ideas highly threatening to his own system and to the humanistic legacy of the enlightenment.

This book introduces architects to a philosopher, Immanuel Kant, whose work was constantly informed by a concern for the world as an evolving whole. According to Kant, in this interconnected and dynamic world, humans should act as mutually dependent and responsible subjects. Given his future-oriented and ethico-politically concerned thinking, Kant is a thinker who clearly speaks to architects. This introduction demonstrates how his ideas bear pertinently and creatively upon the world in which we live now and for which we should care thoughtfully.

Kant grounded his enlightened vision of philosophy’s mission using an architectural metaphor: of the modest ''dwelling-house''. Far from constructing speculative ''castles in the sky'' or vertiginous ''towers which reach to the heavens'', he tells us that his humble aim is rather to build a ''secure home for ourselves'', one which appropriately corresponds at once to the limited material resources available on our planet, and to our need for firm and solid principles to live by. This book also explores Kant''s notions of cosmopolitics, which attempts to think politics from a global perspective by taking into account the geographical fact that the earth is a sphere with limited land mass and natural resources. Given the urgent topicality of sustainable development, these Kantian texts are of particular interest for architects of today.

Students of architecture, who are necessarily trained in negotiating between theory and practice, gain much from considering Kant, whose critical project also consisted of testing and exploring the viability of ideas, so as to ascertain to what extent, and crucially, how ideas can have a constructive effect on the whole world, and on us as active agents therein.

This is a comprehensive book about the Florida Manatee covering all the need-to-knows about the loveable sea cow. Covering evolutionary history, place in the world, anatomy, physiology, lifestyle, mythology, and interaction with humans, Manatees: A Comprehensive Guide to Florida’s Best-Known Marine Mammal will give readers a detailed knowledge of one of Florida’s staple marine creatures. Diane Morgan, known author on many types of mammals such as dogs, horses, and cats, has a vast knowledge of and love for manatees, giving her an earned authority on disseminating a much-needed updated guide to manatees.

Most books on manatees are targeted towards marine biologists or children or are so old and outdated that some important facts, like conservation, are not covered as accurately as they need to be for today’s standards. This book will fill a large gap in the discussion on manatees for adult audiences who are interested in the creatures and want to learn more about them. Perfect for Floridians who travel to natural springs, rivers, and ocean areas, Manatees is the book on manatees that anyone can pick up and read when interested in learning a fact or figure, or the history of how manatees were mistaken for mermaids by sailors.
