The Viennese cafeacute; was a key site of urban modernity around 1900. In the rapidly growing city it functioned simultaneously as home and workplace; affording opportunities for both leisure and intellectual exchange. This volume explores the nature and function of the coffeehouse in the social; cultural; and political world of fin-de-siegrave;cle Vienna. Just as the cafeacute; served as a creative meeting place within the city; so this volume initiates conversations between different disciplines focusing on Vienna at the beginning of the twentieth century. Contributions are drawn from the fields of social and cultural history; literary studies; Jewish studies and art; and architectural and design history. A fresh perspective is also provided by a selection of comparative articles exploring coffeehouse culture elsewhere in Eastern Europe.

Review
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. progress in Los AngelesBy Erik A. SterneThis book helps to understand the grass roots movements that are happening all around LA. The culture of water and that of transportation throughout the greater Los Angeles region are better understood in this book that is part history and part social discourse. Los Angeles is a vastly misunderstood metropolis that is gradually coming out from under its stigma as a lost fantasy and emerging as a leader in the new urban environment.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
