Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 1998, xvi, 452pp., . "I was born two weeks before the Bolshevik Revolution into an immigrant family that was part of New York's large German socialist community." So begins Robert Schrank's compelling autobiography. From Young Communist League member and union activist to management consultant for global corporations, Schrank has lived a life based on empathy and principles, and as an activist in some of the major political and social upheavals of this century., Through his story the reader experiences a community of political and intellectual passion being torn apart as it struggles to deal with the rise of Nazism and the decline of the old radical movement. Drawing on his FBI files - 750 pages of material ranging from intrigue to Mack Sennett comedy - Schrank brings to life the events of Party membership and of his role in the rise of industrial unions in the 1930s and 1940s. A rebel in his own land, he was expelled three times from union office; and in a landmark First Amendment case (Schrank vs. Brown) the State Supreme Court twice returned him to membership. Convinced by the early 1950s of the failure of socialism in the Soviet Union, he broke with the Party., Yet he remained faithful to the ideals of his radical upbringing, even as he joined the corporate world of his former enemies. 9780262193894 ISBN 0262193892.

Cambridge, Mass: MIT Press, 1998, First MIT Press paperback edition, xxx, 504pp., . "Ten years in the making, City Center to Regional Mall is a sweeping yet detailed account of the development of the regional shopping center. Richard Longstreth takes a historical perspective, relating retail development to broader architectural, urban, and cultural issues. His story is far from linear; the topics he covers include the emergence of Hollywood as a downtown in miniature, experiments with the shopping center as an amenity of planned residential developments, the branch department store as a landmark of decentralization, the evolution of off-street parking facilities, and the obscure origins of the pedestrian mall as a spine for retail complexes." "Longstreth takes seriously the task of looking at retail buildings - one of the most neglected yet common of building types - and at the economics of real estate in the American city. He shows that Los Angeles in the period covered was a harbinger of American metropolitan trends during the second half of this century. Over 250 illustrations, culled from a wide variety of sources, constitute one of the best collections of old LA photographs published anywhere." - CONTENTS: The perils of a parkless town.

Cambridge, Mass: MIT Press, 1998, no additional printings noted on copyright page, x, 252pp., . Series: October books In Infinite Regress, David Joselit considers the plurality of identities and practices within Duchamp's life and art between 1910 and 1941, conducting a synthetic reading of his early and middle career. Taking into account underacknowledged works and focusing on the conjunction of the machine and the commodity in Duchamp's art, Joselit notes a consistent opposition between the material world and various forms of measurement, inscription, and quantification. - CONTENTS: Introduction - 1.
