For most landscape architects, and designers in general, the name Roberto Burle Marx immediately brings to mind his painterly vision of the landscape as well as his inspired use of the flora of his native Brazil. However, his work has consistently been presented in the design literature as if it existed in a vacuum, disengaged from the historical circumstances that provide both shape and meaning to public landscapes.In Roberto Burle Marx in Caracas: Parque del Este, 1956-1961, Anita Berrizbeitia goes beyond the common formal analysis of his designs to explore the multiple contexts and cultural conditions that give rise to his uncompromising vision for gardens and landscapes. She charts a middle ground for the interpretation of built landscapes that explores the various ways in which the complex web of political and socioeconomic circumstances and Burle Marx's personal aesthetic intersect in the making of landscapes. Roberto Burle Marx in Caracas is the only in-depth study of this major

More and more researchers are recognizing the importance of patterning materials into well-defined structures and their immediate impacts to many areas that include physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. Compared to traditional lithographic techniques, nontraditional approaches (e.g., self-assembly, soft lithography, embossing, dip-pen lithography, scanning probe lithography and lase- induced patterning) provide avenues to explore new scientific phenomena, as well as to realize new devices in microelectronics, photonics, sensors, MEMS, and lab-on-chip systems with lower cost, higher throughput, and larger quantities. The ability to directly pattern materials in three dimensions (e.g., self-assembly, two-photon absorption and interference lithography) with tailored shape, size, and chemistry provides unparalleled control over material structures and properties. In this book, a wide range of researchers exchange views, learn about the latest advancement in materials science and en
