A lavishly illustrated monograph presenting the model housing estate, a pivotal feature of the WUWA (Wohnung und Werkraum Ausstellung, Living and Work Space) exhibition in Wroclaw, showcasing one of the most intriguing European examples of the Modern Movement in the 1920s. Within the exhibition vicinity, an experimental housing estate emerged, with eleven architects invited to design innovative buildings under the guidance of urban planning pioneers Heinrich Lauterbach and Adolf Rading. The primary goal was to exhibit new types of small and medium dwellings, diverse house forms, and the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies and construction materials. The buildings were open to the public for three and a half months, then leased for two years to the Wrocław Housing Estate Association for functional testing. After the exhibition's closure, the estate… Read More

John Wiley & Sons, 2003 8vo (23.5 cm), XIV, 365 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "The most influential scientist of the last century, James Watson has been at dead center in the creation of modern molecular biology. This masterful biography brings to life the extraordinary achievements not only of Watson but also all those working on this cutting edge of scientific discovery, such as Walter Gilbert, Francis Crick, Francois Jacob, and David Baltimore. From the ruthless competition in the race to identify the structure of DNA to a near mutiny in the Harvard biology department, to clashes with ethicists over issues in genetics, Watson has left a wake of detractors as well as fans. Victor McElheny probes brilliantly behind the veil of Watson's own invented persona, bringing us close to the relentless genius and scientific impresario who triggered and sustained a revolution in science." (from the publisher's description)

It emphasizes the connexion of the wealth of England with developments in Europe generally and in the other continents. Although it is written in the light of searching theoretical analysis, it is neither obscure nor difficult. It gives clear account of the agriculture, trade, industry, and social structure of the country, showing how they all changed continuously and how each influenced the other."

Harvard University Press, 2007 8vo (21 cm), XXII, 372 pp. Laminated wrappers. From the blurb: "This book is a profound reexamination of the role of the German army, the Wehrmacht, in World War II. Until very recently, the standard story avowed that the ordinary German soldier in World War II was a good soldier, distinct from Hitler's rapacious SS troops, and not an accomplice to the massacres of civilians. Wolfram Wette, a preeminent German military historian, explodes the myth of a "clean" Wehrmacht with devastating clarity."
