Cambridge University Press Allies in Memory
Book SynopsisSam Edwards uncovers the history of how, amidst the challenges and tensions of the Cold War, Americans and Europeans used acts of World War II commemoration as forums in which to discover, define and dispute the past and present of the transatlantic alliance.Trade Review'In this book Sam Edwards shows that he is a historian capable of investigating a complex history in a multifaceted way navigating his way through the tricky and occasionally overlapping narratives developed by each culture. He shows the way the memory of the war has grown and adapted, the inherently political biases of all forms of commemoration and the fact that messages are altered, created or reinforced to suit different cultures at different times. All this is done in a text that is engaging and readable. This is a major contribution to our understandings of war memory.' Mark Connolly, University of Kent'Drawing on an impressive array of primary and secondary sources Sam Edwards weaves together a brilliant and fascinating explanation of American and European commemorative representations of World War Two. Having embarked upon this challenging and difficult subject, Edwards consummates it with flair and insight. He explains both the complex interactions between those primarily responsible for constructing commemorative representations and the effects of feedback upon them of historical developments. All this will enthrall the reader.' Alan Dobson, Swansea University'Sam Edwards has provided a brilliant and fascinating study that causes us to rethink our understanding of the nature and purpose of commemoration and the relationship between Britain and the USA. Rising above and beyond traditional parochial interpretations, he demonstrates a rich and complex history of how we interpret our collective past, and shows how that has shaped transatlantic relationships since 1945. An exemplary piece of historical analysis and highly recommended.' John Buckley, University of Wolverhampton'This study of transatlantic commemoration demonstrates that the concerns of the present always shape the ways in which the past is recollected. Memorials erected by American veterans 'were not simply disinterested statements of remembrance honouring lost comrades, nor were they politically neutral expressions of grief and gratitude. Rather, these memorials encoded a set of historically specific attitudes and assumptions' regarding World War II and the continuing American military presence in Europe.' Patrick Hagopian, Lancaster University'This is a book of extraordinary scope. Sam Edwards leads us on a journey through the material remnants of war, charting the way that memorialization was plotted across the landscapes of southern Britain and France. From deserted airfield runways that once carried B17 bombers, to village churchyards, memorial gardens and landing beaches remade as cemeteries, Edwards explores the complex construction of memory and the politics that shape it. He examines the dynamic interplay of diverse memory agents, veterans recalling their own war experience, local communities creating a sense of heritage, and the cultural and political agencies that fund commemoration on both sides of the Atlantic. This book will be of interest to any scholar of the Second World War … Beautifully written, carefully researched and informed by a vast but never intrusive historiography, Allies in Memory is a welcome contribution to a long neglected field.' Bruce Scates, Monash University, Victoria'Well indexed, referenced, and appropriately illustrated … Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.' Choice'This book is a latecomer to an intense wave of scholarly interest in commemoration, particularly of war and conflict, which began in the mid-1990s. … Edwards tells an important story and he does it with no small amount of verve.'

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Art of Forgetting
Book SynopsisIn tracing the process through which monuments give rise to collective memories, this path-breaking book emphasizes that memorials are not just inert and amnesiac spaces upon which individuals may graft their ever-shifting memories. To the contrary, the materiality of monuments can be seen to elicit a particular collective mode of remembering which shapes the consumption of the past as a shared cultural form of memory.In a variety of disciplines over the past decade, attention has moved away from the oral tradition of memory to the interplay between social remembering and object worlds. But research is very sketchy in this area and the materiality of monuments has tended to be ignored within anthropological literature, compared to the amount of attention given to commemorative practice. Art and architectural history, on the other hand, have been much interested in memorial representation through objects, but have paid scant attention to issues of social memory.Cross-cultural and interdisciplinary in scope, this book fills this gap and addresses topics ranging from material objects to physical space; from the contemporary to the historical; and from high art to memorials outside the category of art altogether. In so doing, it represents a significant contribution to an emerging field.Trade Review'This volume presents a new and intriguing perspective on the relationship between the material and immaterial dimensions of culture, suggesting that people's material technologies of memory are always also their technologies of forgetting.'The Journal of the Royal Anthropological InstituteTable of ContentsPart 1 Ephemeral monuments: ephemeral monuments, memory and royal sempiternity in a grass-fields kingdom, Nicholas Argenti; the place of memory, Susanne Kuchler.

HarperCollins Dream Cities
Book SynopsisFrom the acclaimed landscape designer, historian and author of American Eden, a lively, unique, and accessible cultural history of modern cities?from suburbs, downtown districts, and exurban sprawl, to shopping malls and ?sustainable? developments?that allows us to view them through the planning, design, architects, and movements that inspired, created, and shaped them.Dream Cities explores our cities in a new way?as expressions of ideas, often conflicting, about how we should live, work, play, make, buy, and believe. It tells the stories of the real architects and thinkers whose imagined cities became the blueprints for the world we live in.From the nineteenth century to today, what began as visionary concepts?sometimes utopian, sometimes outlandish, always controversial?were gradually adopted and constructed on a massive scale in cities around the world, from Dubai to Ulan Bator to London to Los Angeles. Wade Graham uses the lives of the pivotal dreamers behind these concepts, as well as their acolytes and antagonists, to deconstruct our urban landscapes?the houses, towers, civic centers, condominiums, shopping malls, boulevards, highways, and spaces in between?exposing the ideals and ideas embodied in each.From the baroque fantasy villages of Bertram Goodhue to the superblocks of Le Corbusier?s Radiant City to the pseudo-agrarian dispersal of Frank Lloyd Wright?s Broadacre City, our upscale leafy suburbs, downtown skyscraper districts, infotainment-driven shopping malls, and ?sustainable? eco-developments are seen as never before. In this elegantly designed and illustrated book, Graham uncovers the original plans of brilliant, obsessed, and sometimes megalomaniacal designers, revealing the foundations of today?s varied municipalities. Dream Cities is nothing less than a field guide to our modern urban world.Illustrated with 59 black-and-white photos throughout the text.

MIT Press Designing Mit Bosworths New Tech SAP Press
Book SynopsisA generously illustrated account of artistic clashes, bureaucratic tangles, and contemporary politics that accompanied the design and building of MIT's Cambridge campus.At the end of the nineteenth century, MIT occupied an assortment of laboratories, classrooms, offices, and student facilities scattered across Boston's Back Bay. In 1912, backed by some of the country's leading financiers and industrialists, MIT officials purchased an undeveloped tract of land in Cambridge. Largely on the basis of a recommendation from John D. Rockefeller, Jr., MIT hired the École des Beaux-Arts-trained architect William Welles Bosworth to build and design a new campus. Designing MIT is the first book to detail Bosworth's challenges in the planning and construction of MIT's unique Cambridge campus. MIT professor of architecture Mark Jarzombek provides a fascinating sample of the architectural debates of the time. He examines the competing project proposals—including on
