20th-Century Architecture 4 reviews
Jonathan Glancey
Overlook Hardcover, 1999
Greatly enjoyed
I received this book for a Christmas present several years ago (I believe I was 13). Even now, I still find myself frequently picking it up and glancing over its many pages. Many buildings are simply represented, and because of this overwhelming variety, the book serves as an excellent introduction to those who feel lost in the immense world of architecture (like me). The written portions ...

2001: Building for Space Travel

Above All Earthly POW'rs: Christ in a Postmodern World 18 reviews
David F. Wells
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2005
A Timely And Important Warning
Other reviewers have indicated how important & difficult this book is to read. It is dense and requires sustained thought. But the insights in this book are absolutely essential to understanding how dramatically, comprehensively and severly Evangelical Christianity has been compromised or is being compromised in the post-modern cultural context.
I will focus on what I consider to be the ...

The Academic Postmodern and the Rule of Literature: A Report on Half-Knowledge
David Simpson
University Of Chicago Press, 1995
This brilliantly argued book is an entirely fresh critique of the postmodern turn. David Simpson sets his sights on the most distinctive aspects of postmodern scholarship: the pervasiveness of the literary and the flight from grand theory to local knowledge. Simpson examines defining features of postmodern thought—storytelling, autobiography, anecdote, and localism—and traces their unacknowledged roots in literature and literary ...

The Abyss of Representation: Marxism and the Postmodern Sublime (Post-Contemporary Interventions)
George Hartley
Duke University Press, 2003
From the Copernican revolution of Immanuel Kant to the cognitive mapping of Fredric Jameson to the postcolonial politics of Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, representation has been posed as both indispensable and impossible. In his pathbreaking work, The Abyss of Representation , George Hartley traces the development of this impossible necessity from its German Idealist roots through Marxist theories of postmodernism, arguing that in this period of ...
