The Politics of Education
Lamberti (history, Middlebury College) examines the culture wars that took place in 1920s and 1930s Germany over issues in education. She describes how innovative educators attempted to reform the stratified educational system to foster democracy and social justice. She also shows the relationship between the traditionalists' opposition to school reform and the attraction of certain sections of the teaching profession to the Nazi movement.

Preserving the Legacy of German Jewry
Founded in May 1955 in Jerusalem by German-Jewish intellectuals who had survived the Holocaust - among them Martin Buber, Ernst Simon, Gershom Scholem, and Robert Weltsch - the Leo Baeck Institute of Jews from Germany (LBI) has been engaged in preserving the legacy of German Jewry by collecting material, doing research, and presenting historical narratives. Published on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of its founding, the present volume is the first to reconstruct the LBI's fascinating history, from its beginnings as a memorial community of surviving German Jews to its present status as an internationally renowned research institute.

Hegemann and Peets American Vitruvius

At the end of the second decade of this [the twentieth] century, Werner Hegemann, a German-born urban planning theorist and practitioner, and Elbert Peets, a young American recently graduated from Harvard University's School of Landscape Architecture, joined together in Wisconsin in a professional partnership. The association of these two students of American urbanism culminated in 1922 with The American Vitruvius: an Architects' Handbook of Civic Art, a critical text that played an essential role in the definition and promotion of modern American city planning. American Vitruvius offers the reader an atlas of design solutions and ad...
