Fashioning Vienna : Adolf Loos's Cultural Criticism
ISBN: 9780415221764 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent years there has been a surge of interest in the Viennese architect, essayist, lecturer, and sometime art patron, Adolf Loos. This book seeks, through an examination of the form and content of his texts, to extend our understanding of Adolf Loos and his role in the struggle to define the nature of modernity in Vienna at the turn of the century. Focusing on the sense of paradox which structured Loos's thought allows this book to introduce a new Loos, simultaneously modern and traditional, who functioned as a sensitive barometer of conflicts played out in fin-de-siecle Vienna.

The City in Roman and Byzantine Egypt
ISBN: 9780415237017 / Angielski / Twarda / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For those wishing to study the Roman city in Egypt, the archaeological record is poorer than that of many other provinces. Yet the large number of surviving texts allows us to reconstruct the social lives of Egyptians to an extent undreamt of elsewhere. We are not, therefore, limited to a history of the public faces of cities, their inscriptions, and the writings of their elites, but can begin to understand what the transformations of the city meant for ordinary people, and to uncover the forces that shaped the everyday lives of city dwellers.

Urban Movements in a Globalising World
ISBN: 9780415244251 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Urban social movements have traditionally been seen as being preoccupied with local issues and as a result have been marginalised in the wider study of social movements. However, the increasing globalization of cities and the international flow of people, money and policy, have meant that the local issues urban movements engage with are becoming less parochial and more global. This collection deals with the transformation of urban movements in these new social, economic and political environments. The book is divided into three sections. The first focuses on the new repertoire of collective...
