This book seeks; through an examination of the form and content of his texts; to extend our understanding of Adolf Loos and his role in the struggle to define the nature of modernity in Vienna at the turn of the nineteenth century. It makes extensive use of primary sources including archive material and newspaper reports; which serve to shed new light on the way in which Looss writings are embedded in their socio-cultural context. Drawing on insights from German and Austrian studies; sociology and cultural history; this book offers a genuinely interdisciplinary approach to a figure who himself operated in an interdisciplinary fashion.

Wonderful Repeat DesignsBy Jody PalmThere are lots of bold black/white designs in this book. The designs are heavy on animals; griffins; fleur-de-lis; and heraldic motifs; but all are nice. Some designs are very simple and bold; and others have lots of detail. My favorites are the repeat designs.
