Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A group history of the Austrian School of Economics, from the coffeehouses of imperial Vienna to the modern-day Tea Party The Austrian School of Economics-a movement that has had a vast impact on economics, politics, and society, especially among the American right-is poorly understood by supporters and detractors alike. Defining themselves in opposition to the mainstream, economists such as Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, and Joseph Schumpeter built the School's international reputation with their work on business cycles and monetary theory. Their focus on individualism-and deep antipathy toward socialism-ultimately won them a devoted audience among the upper echelons of business and government. In this collective biography, Janek Wasserman brings these figures to life, showing that in order to make sense of the Austrians and their continued influence, one must understand the backdrop against which their philosophy was formed-notably, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and a half-century of war and exile.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'For over seventy years and five generations, the enslaved families of Prince George's County, Maryland, filed hundreds of suits for their freedom against a powerful circle of slaveholders, taking their cause all the way to the Supreme Court. Between 1787 and 1861, these lawsuits challenged the legitimacy of slavery in American law and put slavery on trial in the nation's capital. Piecing together evidence once dismissed in court and buried in the archives, William Thomas tells an intricate and intensely human story of the enslaved families (the Butlers, Queens, Mahoneys, and others), their lawyers (among them a young Francis Scott Key), and the slaveholders who fought to defend slavery, beginning with the Jesuit priests who held some of the largest plantations in the nation and founded a college at Georgetown. A Question of Freedom asks us to reckon with the moral problem of slavery and its legacies in the present day.'--Provided by publisher.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Charleston, South Carolina, which boasts America's first historic district, is known for its palmetto-lined streets and picturesque houses. The Holy City, named for its profusion of churches, exudes an irresistible charm. Award-winning author and cultural critic Witold Rybczynski unfolds a series of stories about a group of youthful architects, builders, and developers based in Charleston: a self-taught home builder, an Air Force pilot, a fledgling architect, and a bluegrass mandolin player. Beginning in the 1980s, this cast of characters, exercising a kind of amateur mastery, produced an eclectic array of buildings inspired by the past-including a domed Byzantine drawing room, a fanciful medieval castle, a restored freedman's cottage, a miniature Palladian villa, and a contemporary Mediterranean street. In his careful profiles of these protagonists and the challenges they have overcome in realizing their dreams, Rybczynski compellingly emphasizes the importance of architecture and urban design on a local level, how an old city can remake itself by invention as well as replication, and the role that individuals still play in transforming the urban landscapes around them.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'The conceptual artist Sol LeWitt (1928-2007) is best known for his programmatic wall drawings and modular structures, but alongside these works he generated more than 350 print projects, comprising thousands of lithographs, silkscreens, etchings, aquatints, woodcuts, and linocuts. This generously illustrated volume is the first to take a comprehensive look at LeWitt's significant yet underexplored printmaking practice. Drawing together new archival research, interviews, and careful material and visual analyses, David S. Areford brilliantly situates LeWitt's prints within the broader context of his serial-, system-, and rule-based approach to artmaking. The specific processes of print media, Areford argues, were perfectly suited for LeWitt's particular brand of conceptual art, in which the 'idea becomes the machine that makes the art.' With over 400 illustrations, many never before published, this study offers a more complete picture of LeWitt's oeuvre--and the essential place printmaking holds in it. The result will deepen the understanding not only of the variety of LeWitt's output but of the genealogy of his distinct geometric and linear formal language.'--Publisher's description.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Fourteenth century Europe was an era of the expansion of city life, with the blossoming of urban industries, the bolstering of municipal governments, and new opportunities for dynamic exchanges among bustling communities of locals and visiting traders. The burghers who spearheaded such developments were discerning consumers of novel artistic and literary forms. One particularly popular new genre aimed at amusing and inspiring this newly assertive urban class was the illuminated World Chronicle, or Weltchroniken. These handmade books, produced in Bavaria and Austria in the late Middle Ages, compiled biblical stories, ancient myths, political stories from the past, and historical legends in a rhyming vernacular narrative. The stories were adorned with dynamic and richly varied cycles of illustrations that made characters and events from the past tangible and relevant to the medieval present and introduced iconographies and modes of conceptualizing history that might startle modern eyes - Cain, for instance, is depicted as a fashionable dandy of the fifteenth century and celebrated in the text as a founder of cities despite his wrongdoings. The children of Adam and Eve come off as entrepreneurs of city industry, while the story of Moses references Christian-Jewish contacts and European conceptions of Africans, and the story of the Judgement of Paris plays out as a prelude to a jousting tournament. Because they were typically read by members of the lower nobility and high-ranking burghers, the World Chronicles offer insight into the interests of people removed from elite social circles; this less-established audience also allowed artists to innovate and experiment with styles and media. Nina Rowe focuses on a remarkable cluster of twenty-four illuminated World Chronicles that were produced circa 1330-1430 in the Bavarian and Austrian region, where the genre enjoyed the greatest popularity. In seven elegantly-written and beautifully illustrated chapters, Rowe takes a cross-disciplinary approach, considering textual, pictorial, and material evidence in relation to social history to examine the relationship between illuminated World Chronicles and the tastes and preoccupations of urban audiences in an era of growing city life. As she incisively shows, the often spontaneous, playful, or cynical nature of these books complicates traditional conceptions of the long fourteenth century in Europe as a calamitous epoch or an age preoccupied with Christian piety. Through discussion of religious dissent and Christian European conceptions of an interactions with Jews and Africans, Rowe further complicates the standard narratives of the European Middles Ages as homogenously white, Christian, and spiritually obedient. By exploring little known art historical and literary evidence that reveals experiences that could be optimistic or ambitious and separate from the dictates of the church, The Illuminated World Chronicle enriches the story of medieval German art by bringing attention to artworks and attitudes long sidelined in scholarship'.
