Das Case-Study-House-Programm (1945-1966) war ein außergewöhnliches, innovatives Ereignis in der Geschichte der amerikanischen Architektur und ist bis heute einzigartig geblieben. Es konzentrierte sich auf die Gegend um Los Angeles und sah die Gestaltung von 36 Prototypen vor, die im Bau-Boom der Nachkriegsjahre die leichte und preisgünstige Errichtung moderner Wohnhäuser ermöglichen sollten. Die treibende Kraft hinter diesem Projekt war John Entenza, der Herausgeber von Arts & Architecture und ein Verfechter des Modernismus, der dank seiner einschlägigen Kontakte Talente wie Richard Neutra , Charles und Ray Eames und Eero Saarinen interessieren konnte. Das äußerst experimentelle Programm brachte Häuser hervor, durch die modernes Wohnen neu definiert werden sollte, und hatte somit einen ausgeprägten Einfluss auf die amerikanische wie auch die internationale Architektur zu seiner Zeit und sogar heute noch. TASCHEN bringt Ihnen eine Retrospektive des gesamten Programms mit umfassender Dokumentation, ausgezeichneten Fotografien aus der Entstehungszeit und aktuellen Aufnahmen von den noch existierenden Häusern sowie detaillierten Grundrisse und Skizzen.

Fascinating and beautifully written.
Format: Hardcover
Clear and compelling reading of the much-neglected history of Carthage -- all its histories had been written by the victors in Rome. BTEW y four-colour photo insert was missing a page....shame on Norton, the puboisher.

Excellent Overview of Carthage
Format: Hardcover
293 pages of text/maps/b&w figures; 8 pages of color plates; 15 pages of end notes (mostly citations); 20 page Bibliography; 6 page Primary Bibliography; 2 page Acknowledgements; 8 area maps; 1 battle map [Cannae]. This is a well written history of Carthage. It provides a one source overview of the background and history of the city/empire. As a reasonably well read layperson, I am familiar at an overview level with the Punic Wars, Rome, Alexander, and the Alexandrine successor states and this book packaged Carthaginian information very well while adding interesting information that I hadn't come across before. I was somewhat disappointed (hence the 4 star rather than 5 star rating) that there was a very limited drill down to a lower level of detail, particularly from such a noted author. However, this is probably an unfair criticism given the limited amount of archeological information available and the millennia of effort that has been spent in pigeonholing Carthage according to the desired perceptions. I recommend the book highly as a well written overview of Carthage.

Great substance; lousy writing.
Format: Kindle
Reviewing this book is not an easy task. Previously I had very limited knowledge of this period of history. With no background, I found the subject spellbinding. The author has done a wonderful job of gathering, and reconciling, ancient sources of mixed reliability. But, in undertaking that task, the text becomes repetitive, difficult to follow and frankly just plain boring. In addition, the writing style and format detracts substantially from the pleasure of learning from the substance. Everything from run-on sentences with mixed subjects to unclear antecedents, to character confusion because of similarity of names and the author's expectation that one can remember which player is on stage at any given moment. My main criticism of the book is that the downsides could have been avoided by application of the skills of a decent editor who instinctively would have addressed and corrected the confusion in presentation that made it a very difficult read. I hope that a cleaned up edition is prepared and the book released again; I think the effort would be worth the result.
