To Die for Germany
Baird (history, Miami U., Ohio) illuminates the political culture of the Third Reich by focusing on the regime's fascination with motifs of death. He traces the development of Nazi propaganda from the fields of Flanders in 1914 to the cult of death created by Hitler, Goebbels, and others during World War II.

Sorting Out the Mixed Economy
In the years after 1945, a flood of U.S. advisors swept into Latin America with dreams of building a new economic order and lifting the Third World out of poverty. By the 1960s, they had remade the country's housing projects, river valleys, and universities. In this groundbreaking book, the author shows the entanglement of American societies and the contradictory promises of midcentury statebuilding.
Bogotá from the Air
Majestic at 2,600 metres above sea level, Bogot shows its best face from the air. The book provides a different perspective to admire the best facet of one of the largest cities in South America and to enjoy it with the dignity that only height can provide. From north to south and from east to west, "Bogot from the Air" is a due homage to the city that is capable of bringing as many emotions as people together. The book is the testimony of an evolutionary model that has turned the city, over the past forty years, into an urban centre in constant growth, improvement and expansion. However, the city's evolution has managed to maintain the individual, the citizen, at the heart of this process. Far from turning the city into a huge stone mass of asphalt and buildings, its development renews it and floods it with vitality, considering the fact that it breathes, feeds and lives. The traditional barrios, parks, historical and cultural centres dress up Bogot in its most splendorous gown to show it from a perspective that its early settlers could have never imagined 500 years ago.
Mensajes de modernidad en la revista Proa.
Esta obra da mucho más de lo que promete en el título. Analizando la revista Proa, incide en el papel protagonista de las publicaciones periódicas en el debate arquitectónico colombiano. Se aportan datos de gran relevancia sobre edificios, arquitectos y programas urbanos, poniendo en relieve la exigencia de analizar la publicidad de arquitectura no como algo meramente anecdótico, sino como un componente esencial tanto de la relación entre arquitectura, ciudad y tejido industrial como del imaginario arquitectónico de una sociedad. En este sentido, su estudio se inserta en una reciente pero pujante línea de investigación en arquitectura contemporánea, que ha producido ya en diversos países resultados notables sobre el estudio de las relaciones entre publicidad y arquitectura.
