Frank Lloyd Wright : The Lost Years, 1910-22 - A Study of Influence (9780226013664)

Gambar
Had Frank Lloyd Wright's career ended in 1909, he still would be considered the preeminent early American modernist. But, despite the fact that a critical rupture occurred in his personal life in that year, Wright's career did not end. By 1909, with his Prairie period over, Wright left his wife and six children and travelled to Europe, initially with Mamah Cheney, the wife of one of his clients. While the scandal of Mrs. Cheney's murder in 1914 attracted the public eye, the impact of Wright's travels abroad and the dramatic directions his work subsequently took have been ignored. "Frank Lloyd Wright - The Lost Years, 1910-1922" lays out the facts about Wright's lost decade. With the first complete access to Wright's archives by any scholar in over forty years, Anthony Alofsin reconstructs the a history of Wright's travels in Europe. In recovering this elusive period in Wright's development, he restores a chapter to the history of modern ...

Hannah Arendt : Legal Theory and the Eichmann Trial (9780367232269)

Gambar
Hannah Arendt is one of the great outsiders of twentieth-century political philosophy. After reporting on the trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, Arendt embarked on a series of reflections about how to make judgments and exercise responsibility without recourse to existing law, especially when existing law is judged as immoral. This book uses Hannah Arendt's text Eichmann in Jerusalem to examine major themes in legal theory, including the nature of law, legal authority, the duty of citizens, the nexus between morality and law and political action.

Reluctant Witnesses : Survivors, Their Children, and the Rise of Holocaust Consciousness (9780190624606)

Gambar
Americans now learn about the Holocaust in high school, watch films about it on television, and visit museums dedicated to preserving its memory. But for the first two decades following the end of World War II, discussion of the destruction of European Jewry was largely absent from American culture and the tragedy of the Holocaust was generally seen as irrelevant to non-Jewish Americans. Today, the Holocaust is widely recognized as a universal moral touchstone. In Reluctant Witnesses, sociologist Arlene Stein-herself the daughter of a Holocaust survivor-mixes memoir, history, and sociological analysis to tell the story of the rise of Holocaust consciousness in the United States from the perspective of survivors and their descendants. If survivors tended to see Holocaust storytelling as mainly a private affair, their children-who reached adulthood during the heyday of identity politics-reclaimed their hidden family histories and transformed them into public stories. Reluctant Witnesses...

Wieso? Weshalb? Warum? Alles über Dinosaurier. CD (3833711310)

Gambar
In der Welt der Dinosaurier gibt es viel zu entdecken: Der gefährliche Tyrannosaurus jagt seine Beute durch die Wüste, hungrige "Langhälse" verschlingen die Blätter des Dschungels und andere Urzeitriesen schlüpfen aus fußballgroßen Eiern. Aber nicht nur Dinosaurier können Tommi und die Kinder Sara und Simon auf ihrem außergewöhnlichen Spaziergang beobachten: Meeressaurier tummeln sich im Wasser, Flugsaurier segeln durch die Lüfte und der Archaeopteryx muss noch lange das Singen üben, bevor aus ihm ein Vogel wird. Woher wissen wir eigentlich, dass es diese Tiere der Urzeit wirklich gegeben hat? Das und vieles mehr finden Tommi und die Kinder auf spielerische Weise heraus.

Treasonable Doubt : The Harry Dexter White Spy Case (9780700613113)

Gambar
Whittaker Chambers and Elizabeth Bentley shocked America in 1948 with their allegations that Communist spies had penetrated the American government. The resulting perjury trial of Alger Hiss is already legendary, but Chambers and Bentley also named Harry Dexter White, a high-ranking Treasury official. (Hiss himself thought that White had been the real target of the House Un-American Activities Committee.) When White died only a week after his bold defense before Congress, much speculation remained about the cause of his death and the truth of the charges made against him. Armed with a wealth of new information, Bruce Craig examines this controversial case and explores the ambiguities that have haunted it for more than half a century. The highest ranking figure in the Roosevelt and Truman administrations to be accused of espionage, White played a central role in the founding of the United Nations' twin financial institutions, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. For years...
