Recounts the turbulent five months leading to England’s civil war, when King Charles I’s failed attempt to arrest five MPs ignited political unrest, radical thought, and public resistance, marking a turning point in British democracy and seeding ideas later echoed in the American Revolution. Illustrations. Maps. A riveting account of the five heated months in which King Charles I attempted to arrest five dissident Members of Parliament by bringing an armed force to the House of Commons—a shocking act of political terrorism that pushed England toward civil war and planted the seeds of the American RevolutionNamed a Book of the Year by The Times, The Telegraph, and History Today“Netflix should make this enjoyable English civil war history into an epic drama. . . . You could hardly find a more engrossing or exciting story.” —Dominic Sandbrook, The Times (London) “A lucid, fast-paced and exhilarating account. . . . The House of Cards-ish drama remains gripping to the last.” —John Adamson, Literary ReviewIn 1641, England exits a plague-ridden and politically unstable summer having reached a semblance of peace: the English and Scottish armies have disbanded, legislation has passed to ensure Parliament will continue to sit, and the people are tentatively optimistic. But King Charles I is not satisfied with peace—he wants revenge.So begins England’s winter of discontent. As revolutionary sects of London begin to generate new ideas about democracy, as radical new religious groups seek power, and as Ireland explodes into revolt, Charles hatches a plan to restore his absolute rule. On January 4, 1642, he marches on Westminster, seeking to arrest and impeach five Members of Parliament—and so sets in motion a series of events that will lead to bloodshed and war, changing a nation forever.The Blood in Winter tells the story of an English people’s great political awakening. Jonathan Healey utilizes meticulous archival research to re-create the claustrophobic atmosphere of the day, with rowdy protestors in the streets and London blanketed in coal smoke. Taut and thrilling, Healey’s newest social history shows us what really happened in those fraught winter months that led to civil war. From the radical enclaves of London public houses to a king forced from his capital by the people, it is a rich tapestry of a society in profound distress. Autorid: Jonathan Healey

Franco Stella, dem italienischen Rationalisten der ersten Stunde, fiel 2008 die Aufgabe zu, das bedeutendste nationale Kulturprojekt im wiedervereinigten Berlin, das Berliner Schloss - Humboldtforum, architektonisch zu realisieren. Nach einem jahrzehntelangen Streit darüber, ob es ein radikaler Neubau in heutiger Sprache oder eine Replik und Erinnerung an das bedeutendste barocke Bauwerk Norddeutschlands werden soll, beschloss das bundesdeutsche Parlament, dass es ein Neubau mit historischen Elementen werden sollte: drei barocke Fassaden Andreas Schlüters im Süden, Westen und Norden, sowie der legendäre "Schlüterhof" sollten rekonstruiert, das übrige in heutiger Architektursprache neu errichtet werden. Der Architekt Franco Stella gibt in diesem Buch Auskunft darüber, wie ihm diese widersprüchliche und spannende Aufgabe gelang, und vertritt die Ansicht, dass auch eine rekonstruierte Architektur authentisch ist.

Die berühmten Portfolio-Bände "Ausgeführte Bauten und Entwürfe von Frank Lloyd Wright" sind eine ästhetisch überwältigende Zusammenfassung aller Arbeiten des großen Architekten bis zum Jahre 1909 - sie wurden oft als eine der bedeutendsten Publikationen unseres Jahrhunderts zur modernen Architektur bezeichnet. Erstmals im Jahre 1910-11 im Ernst Wasmuth Verlag Berlin erschienen, vermitteln die 100 Tafeln mit Darstellungen von Wright's gebauten und ungebauten Werken die Vision des Baukünstlers von einer "organischen Architektur". Kein anderer Architekt des 20. Jahrhunderts - und nur wenige in der Geschichte - konnten ihre Ideen und ihr Werk in ähnlich kohärenter Form entwickeln wie Wright. Im Falle der Portfolios fügte er den Tafeln eigene Beschreibungen hinzu und verfaßte eine spezielle Einleitung, welche darüber hinaus eine komplexe und wichtige theoretische Abhandlung über sein Verhältnis zur westlichen Architekturtradition darstellt. Im vorliegenden Band, einem im Format verkleinerten Nachdruck, sind die Tafeln in einem Band zusammengefaßt worden, um so jedem Architekturfreund und Bewunderer von F. L. Wright einen praktischen Zugang zu einem großen Kunstwerk der Druckgraphik und Meisterwerk der Architekturgeschichte zu ermöglichen. Eine neue Einleitung von Anthony Alofsin stellt die "Ausgeführten Bauten und Entwürfe" in den historischen Kontext ihrer Entstehungszeit. Anhand einer gewissenhaften Untersuchung der Beziehungen zwischen Wright und dem Ernst Wasmuth Verlag weist er nach, daß Wright dieses Werk - ungeachtet seiner Wirkung auf europäische Architekten der Moderne - primär im Hinblick auf eine neu zu gestaltende demokratische Architektur Amerikas konzipiert hatte und daß seine Geschichte weitaus komplexer und dramatischer war als bisher angenommen.
