Description: This book has proved a milestone in modern thought, and its compelling ideas and unusual illustrations have been widely acknowledged. Since its fist publication in 1941, it has been translated into half a dozen languages. Mr. Giedion is noted for the range and originality of his thought, for the force and clarity of his presentation, and for his ability to distill - sometimes from the most strikingly dissimilar examples - the essence of an idea or a trend. Year by year, is book gains a host of new readers among students and laymen alike. The considerable enlarged third edition included a new chapter on Mies Van der Rohe, a new section on Gropius in America, and chapters on perspective and Unbanism dealing with city planing in he Renaissance, and Pope Sixtus V and the Planning of Baroque Rome. Nearly seventy new pictures were added. To this thirteenth printing, Fourth Edition, enlarged, has been added Mr. Giedion's essay with five illustrations on Architecture in the 1960's: Hopes and Fears.
