A complete reference resource exploring architecture worldwide during the twentieth century
Exploring architecture from all regions of the world, this three-volume set chronicles and analyzes the twentieth century's vast architectural achievements, both within and well beyond the parameters of Modernism. With extensive coverage of architecture's multifaceted production from 1900 to 2000, the Encyclopedia of 20th-Century Architecture provides readers with a singular resource on materials, theory, design, and practice during this fascinating century of innovation.

This reader features the most innovative and influential writings that have shaped and defined the relations between language, culture and cultural identity in the twentieth century.

A unique blend of graphics and text illustrates the structural evolution of the most intensely-studied army of the twentieth century. Twelve key engagements, from Czechoslovakia 1938 to Berlin 1945, have been selected to show German organization and doctrine tested in action. Adolf Hitler was named Chancellor of Germany in 1933, but did not fully consolidate his power until the summer of 1934, when he brutally suppressed the Nazi Party's private militia in an agreement with the regular German armed forces. Thus began a contradictory relationship between Party and Army that continued until the very end of the National Socialist regime in 1945.

This inquiry into the technical advances that shaped the 20th century follows the evolutions of all the principal innovations introduced before 1913 as well as the origins and elaborations of all fundamental 20th century advances.
Transforming the Twentieth Century will offer a wide-ranging interdisciplinary appreciation of the undeniable technical foundations of the modern world as well as a multitude of welcome and worrisome consequences of these developments.
