Walter Benjamin has become a decisive reference point for a whole range of critical disciplines; as he constructed a unique and provocative synthesis of aesthetics; politics and philosophy. Examining Benjamin’s contributions to cultural criticism in relation to the works of Max Ernst; Adolf Loos; Le Corbusier and Sigfried Giedion; this book also situates Benjamin’s work within more recent developments in architecture and urbanism. This is a concise; coherent account of the relevance of Walter Benjamin’s writings to architects; locating Benjamin’s critical work within the context of contemporary architecture and urbanism.

Recommended by instructorBy amy gallagherMy daughters percussion instructor requested she buy this. We had purchased her a wooden marimba as she prefers mallet percussion to any other. Her instructor is in professional level orchestras and is training her in techniques she will use in the youth orchestra she is in.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Great BookBy DannyThe orchestral excerpts are icing on the cake for this old standard that still holds the bar high. It doesnt get any better when it comes to studying 2 mallet style.
