From the award-winning author of Wrestling with Moses comes a fascinating; accessible biography of the most important architect of the twentieth century. Modern Man is a riveting biography of Le Corbusier—a man who invented new ways of building and thinking. Modern Man is a penetrating psychological portrait of a true genius and constant self-inventor; as well as a sweeping tale filled with exotic locales; sex and celebrity (he was a lover of Josephine Baker); and high-stakes projects. In Flint’s telling; Corbusier isn’t just the grandfather of modern architecture but a man who sought to remake the world according to his vision; dispelling the Victorian style and replacing it with something never seen before. His legacy remains controversial today; as the world grapples with how to house its skyrocketing urban population and the cult of the “starchitect†continues to grow. Modern Man is for readers fascinated by the complex personal lives and outsized visions of both groundbreaking artists and dazzling; charismatic innovators like Steve Jobs.

Another preview with the same 12 books to download or printBy Florida KayakerAbstract Wildlife Designs has 14 somewhat simple designs that you cannot color. Because this is not a coloring book; but a preview of the real book; there is no print link.You can however; go to the download link and print the pages of any of the other 12 books that show up in the print link. These are the same 12 books that are available in every Speedy Publishing Kindle coloring book that I have seen. They are also the same 12 books in the print link of every Jupiter Kids book that I have seen.If you already own one book from either of these companies; anything else will simply be a duplicate. Anything that you can print or download at least.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
