'The most complete monograph on the pioneering modernist.' - Fast Company

This acclaimed book is the most comprehensive published on architect and designer Marcel Breuer (1902-1981), looking in detail at all the houses, furniture, and public buildings he designed in Europe and the United States - from his beginning at the Bauhaus through his collaboration with Walter Gropius, and the establishment of his own practice in the USA. Written by acclaimed architect and writer Robert McCarter, the first edition of this book was described as a 'serious study' (Financial Times) that would help in 'realigning Breuer's position in the canon of modern masters' (TLS).

The complete monograph on the last of the first generation of Modernist architects, Breuer is the only book that examines both his design as well as his architecture, with detailed descriptions of his work - including commercial, residential, furniture, and unrealized projects, including all of his iconic furniture (such as the Wassily and Cesca chairs) and buildings (including the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris and the Whitney Museum in New York). Back in print due to popular demand, this new edition has a beautiful new cover featuring the global headquarters of Sotheby's in New York.

This is a great book, but you're got to remember that its an excerpt of a far greater book called Sparkling Gems from the Greek. Go ahead and get this one -- but DON"T STOP UNTIL YOU'VE PLACED YOUR E ORDER FOR SPARKING GEMS.... a book that will just blow you away -- a fact evidenced by nearly 300,000 people who have already brought that hard copy book.The book above is a good start, but it's a far cry from the real Sparkling Gems from the Greek. Start with this one above -- but keep your eyes out for the day that the e-version of Sparkling Gems is announced. Sparkling Gems is a book you JUST MUST HAVE in your e-library. Hope this helps....

Excellent for daily reading
Format: Paperback
This book is great for travel or for a brief daily devotional. However, if you want a more in depth bible study I would strongly recommend Sparking Gems by Rick Renner which is the most wonderful bible study I have read second to the bible. In fact, 365 Days of Power is an exerpt from Sparkling Gems.
