A leap of faith by two architects and urban designers saw a new venture to design, manufacture and sell furniture for the public domain of cities. The initiative kick-started an industry in Australia, and supported an emerging focus on urban design, landscape design and placemaking.In the 1960s, urban design emerged as a discipline, providing focus to city form and the space between buildings, which was generally not the priority of either town planning or architectural practitioners.Darrel Conybeare and Bill Morrison have been pioneers of the practice of urban design, and in contrast to the trend towards internationalism, they have focused on local qualities, drawing out the unique features of places with references to layers of history and urban memory.This has been reflected in their approach to Street Furniture Australia, not only producing public furniture that is elegant and comfortable so that people might enjoy being in the public domain, but also developing industrial processes for manufacturing it, and producing public furniture capable of enhancing the quality and identity of a city.

The New Spruce Forge Manual of Locksmithing: a Blacksmith''s Guide to Simple Lock Mechanisms is a totally revised, updated and expanded version of the original work which has become a treasured sourcebook for blacksmiths the world over. This new hardcover edition, at 304 pages, is more than double the size of the original manual. The number of lock projects has increased from five to fourteen. And the first section on blacksmith lockmaking tools and techniques can now be considered a complete manual in its own right. The authors have maintained their original trademark style that relies on well-illustrated step-by-step instructions that guide you through the whole lock-making process. They have also kept their low-tech approach that demonstrates how to go about creating good work using only a handful of simple tools. For The New Spruce Forge Manual of Locksmithing, Bill Morrison and Denis Frechette divided the book into two distinct sections: Technical Information: This section is a complete reference manual that covers the specific techniques needed to build all the parts for each lock, as well as providing all the information needed to understand the assembly instructions outlined in the second section. The Locks: Patterns and Instructions: This section provides all the plans and detailed step-by-step instructions for each of the 14 lock projects in this new edition. The detailed and clear assembly instructions describe when and how to use the technical information provided in section one. This is the most complete book available on how to use simple technology to solve complex metalworking problems. What you learn in this book will provide you with the skills needed to replace a broken "blacksmith-lock" with a similar one of your own making for an old gate, door, cabinet, chest, etc. After having worked through the projects you will have gained the skills and confidence to fashion replacement parts for old "blacksmith locks" needing repair.

Two professors look at the mystique around universities and the consequences of “credentialism.” For decades, we have promoted the idea that a university degree is a passport to future career success. Ken Coates and Bill Morrison argue that the over-promotion of higher education and university degrees is actually undermining the lives of young people, saddling them with enormous debts, and costing governments huge amounts of money. As the young flock to universities in ever-increasing numbers, fewer of them than ever find the elusive “good jobs” that they are pursuing. In fact, many of those jobs no longer exist. We are in the midst of a youth employment crisis that is global in proportion, and we are facing serious misunderstandings about the unfolding career prospects for young adults entering a world of rapid technological change. Ken Coates and Bill Morrison explore the impacts of universities turning out graduates with the wrong skills, and the consequences of vanishing job opportunities.

Comme chacun le sait, nul ne peut se mesurer à Homer Simpson en matière de fainéantise, de resquillage, de glandage éhonté au boulot et d''inaptitude généralisée à tout ce qui peut s''apparenter à une quelconque responsabilité. Voilà pourquoi nous lui avons confié la rédaction de ce Livre de la paresse. « Quand les éditeurs m''ont demandé d''écrire ce bouquin, déclare Homer dans la préface, ils m''ont dit qu''ils avaient besoin d''un gros plein de soupe apathique avec un sens moral extrêmement bas et un quotient léthargique élevé, et ça m''a plu. » Écrit, donc, par Homer en personne, voici un Guide de la paresse façon Simpson, où vous découvrirez les 20 types de paresseux qu''on croise de nos jours, des textos encore plus abrégés pour flemmards du SMS, des cadeaux de dernière minute pour ceux qui n''aiment pas faire les courses, comment customiser votre canapé pour ne manquer de rien quand vous êtes vautré devant la télé, un test permettant de savoir si vous êtes un vrai cossard et des autocollants façon Homer pour proclamer votre paresse à la face du monde. Le premier d''une nouvelle série de livres-collector Simpson, accompagné de nombreux suppléments détachables : autocollants, post-it, peintures de Marge Simpson, mots d''excuses, dépliants, posters, livrets de comics...

On Mount Desert Island, Maine, winter can mean six months of isolation and tough times, as year-round residents hunker down through the cold season. Larry Stettner and Bill Morrison vowed to change that. In November 2009, the Common Good Soup Kitchen opened its doors to the public, offering free soup as well as live music and a place for locals to gather, interact, and help each other. In its first winter of operation, the Common Good served over 10,000 bowls of soup to the community. Run entirely by donations, grants, and volunteer labor, the café also runs a distribution program to deliver soup to senior residences and others who cannot make it out to the café. In Cooking for the Common Good, Stettner and Morrison argue that we need to radically rethink the concept of the soup kitchen, emphasizing true community building along with incorporating healthy and locally sourced food. The book includes a lively third-person narrative telling the story of how the Common Good Soup Kitchen was created; the authors'' unique cooking philosophy; some of their most popular soup and salad recipes; and a full appendix with resources and a sample grant application for others interested in starting their own soup kitchen. "Today access to whole foods, local organic foods, and sustainable fisheries is more important than ever for our well-being. But, because of economic inequities, good whole food is once again hard to get. Organic foods are largely available to the wealthiest and most privileged among us. Let us break down the bastions and make natural, whole food—including organically based soups—for everyone." —from chapter 2, "The Soup Manifesto"
