[Date from the copyright page.] Text replete with photographs and drawings; Notes and Acknowledgments; 203 pages, followed by a page with a note from the editors, and lists of donors, patrons, and sponsors. The dark gray French-fold decorated wraps are in excellent shape; the interior with illustrations on glossy paper is equally fine and completely clean. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] There is a passage quoted from Walter Benjamin as epigraph to the first entry: "The concept of the historical progress of mankind cannot be sundered from the concept of its progression through a homogenous, empty time. A critique of the concept of such a progression must be the basis of any criticism of the concept of progress itself." Contributors: Roland Barthes, David P. Billington, David Bohm, William S. Burroughs, Maria Bottero, Peter Caws, Umberto Eco, Antoni Gaudi, Louis I. Kahn, Claude Levi-Strauss, Robert Maillart, Rowland J. Mainstone, Robert Le Ricolais and Henriette Grindat. References are made to innumerable artists, philosophers, scholars and scientists throughout the ages.
