by Dan Schiller (Author) A sweeping, revisionist historical analysis of telecommunications networks, from the dawn of the republic to the 21st century. Telecommunications networks are vast, intricate, hugely costly systems for exchanging messages and information-within cities and across continents. From the Post Office and the telegraph to today's internet, these networks have sown domestic division while also acting as sources of international power. In Crossed Wires, Dan Schiller, who has conducted archival research on US telecommunications for more than forty years, recovers the extraordinary social history of the major network systems of the United States. Drawing on arrays of archival documents and secondary sources, Schiller reveals that this history has been shaped by sharp social and political conflict and is embedded in the larger history of an expansionary US political economy. Schiller argues that networks have enabled US imperialism through a a recurrent "American system" of cross-border communications. Three other key findings wind through the book. First, business users of networks--more than carriers, and certainly more than residential users--have repeatedly determined how telecommunications systems have developed. Second, despite their current importance for virtually every sphere of social life, networks have been consecrated above all to aiding the circulation of commodities. Finally, although the preferences of executives and officials have broadly determined outcomes, these elites have repeatedly had to contend against the ideas and organizations of workers, social movement activists, and other reformers. This authoritative and comprehensive revisionist history of US telecommunications argues that not technology but a dominative--and contested--political economy drove the evolution of this critical industry. Author Biography Dan Schiller studies the social and intellectual history of US and global communications as a part of the conflicted development of capitalism. After working at the University of Leicester, Temple University, UCLA, and UCSD, Dan Schiller finished his academic career at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he is Professor Emeritus. His books include Telematics and Government; Theorizing Communication: A History; Digital Depression: Information Technology and Economic Crisis; and Digital Capitalism--a term which he coined in the 1990s. His articles and commentaries on contemporary communications have been published widely in Europe, Asia, and Latin America, and he co-edits the book series, The Geopolitics of Information, for the University of Illinois Press.

Through the vision of Shepard Fairey, Obey has evolved into one of the most controversial yet influential symbols of the 21st century. Derived from Andre the Giant, a pop-culture athlete in the eighties, the Obey icon has been bombed in developed and rural cities around the world. Its ambiguous idea immediately sparks philosophical discussion and ultimately motivates the inner-person through active participation.

About the Book Third edition of Chicago architecture and design / George A. Larson, Jay Pridmore; with photography by Hedrich-Blessing. 1993. Second edition published 2005. Book Synopsis The birthplace of the skyscraper, Chicago is famous for an architectural tradition that has influenced building around the globe. It is the cradle of modern architecture. It gave rise to the urban office building and to the flowing, open floor plans of today's homes. Chicago Architecture and Design chronicles the city's architecture from the 19th through the early 21st century: from the structural simplicity of Chicago School commercial building to the low-slung Prairie School house, from the streamlined Art Deco skyscraper to the minimalist Miesian tower of glass and steel, and all the way through to the strikingly original, diverse designs of the present day's second modern period. It examines the evolution of modern architecture in the context of broader historical, social, technological, and artistic currents and explores innovations that pushed buildings ever higher. This third edition adds 10 new buildings from the last decade, including Renzo Piano's Modern Wing of the Art Institute, John Ronan's Poetry Foundation, and Helmut Jahn's Mansueto Library at the University of Chicago. About the Author Jay Pridmore is a freelance writer and critic. George A. Larson is chairman and director of design of Larson Associates, Chicago and New York. Hedrich Blessing is one of the country's premier architectural photography studios.

Die Geschichte der europäischen Stadt ist durch ständigen Wandel geprägt. Bauliche Reaktionen auf gesellschaftliche Brüche, verursacht durch Naturkatastrophen, Seuchen oder Kriege, haben die Stadt in Europa durch die Jahrhunderte zum Zivilisationsmotor entwickelt. Damit einher ging das Versprechen von wirtschaftlicher Unabhängigkeit, sozialem Zusammenhalt und individueller Freiheit. Fundamentale Herausforderungen wie der Klimawandel konfrontieren Städte heute mit Veränderungen, die die Kontinuität und Nachhaltigkeit der ethischen Grundlagen städtischer Lebensformen in Frage stellen. Mutige und entschlossene Schritte sind erforderlich. Inwieweit können Massnahmen des Städtebaus, der Landschaftsplanung und der Architektur die notwendigen Veränderungsprozesse befördern? Wie können in der Stadt etwaige mit der Umstellung von Lebensstilen verbundene Verluste kompensiert, neue Technologien integriert, neue Verhaltensformen eingeübt und letztlich zu einer funktionierenden Kultur sublimiert werden? Die Mitglieder der Sektion Baukunst der Akademie der Künste, Berlin und ihre eingeladenen Gäste aus ganz Europa stellen anhand von Projekten, Visionen und Manifesten ihre Positionen vor. Essays ausgewählter Autorinnen und Autoren ergänzen den praktischen Diskurs aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln. Herausgegeben von Tim Rieniets, Matthias Sauerbruch und Jörn Walter im Auftrag der Akademie der Künste, Berlin. Mit einem Fotoessay von Erik-Jan Ouwerkerk.
