This influence is based not only on his work as a designing architect, which extends to furniture, interiors, and exhibitions. Czech is also widely admired just as much for his writings on architectural theory and as the editor and translator of classics of architectural history, including texts by Otto Wagner, Adolf Loos, Josef Frank, and Christopher Alexander, among others. This book is the long-awaited updated and expanded English edition of the only full monograph on Hermann Czech to date. First published in German in 2018, it goes far beyond a mere presentation of an architecture practice's buildings and projects. The first part traces what links Czech's work to the approaches of Viennese modernism. The second part explores Czech's biography and the trajectory of his career, analyzing as well the contemporary influences that shape his thinking and designs. The third part features selected buildings and unrealized projects, setting forth also Czech's numerous references and underlying reflections. A complete index of his buildings, projects, and writings, an essay by Vienna-based philosopher Elisabeth Nemeth on the relationship between architecture and philosophy in Czech's work, and an introduction by architectural historian Liane Lefaivre round off this volume.Architecture, Austrian20th centuryArchitecture, AustrianKuss Eva1970-1462732BOOK9910735568403321Hermann Czech3671831UNINA05574nam 2200877Ia 450 991097350400332120200520144314.09780801463884080146388210.7591/9780801463884(CKB)2670000000186876(SSID)ssj0000870490(PQKBManifestationID)11499152(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000870490(PQKBWorkID)10818147(PQKB)10122722(StDuBDS)EDZ0001499246(MiAaPQ)EBC3138295(OCoLC)785782371(MdBmJHUP)muse28722(DE-B1597)478570(OCoLC)979954133(DE-B1597)9780801463884(Au-PeEL)EBL3138295(CaPaEBR)ebr10533657(CaONFJC)MIL681777(Perlego)984524(EXLCZ)99267000000018687620110816d2012 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMilitarism in a global age naval ambitions in Germany and the United States before World War I /Dirk BonkerIthaca, N.Y.

Between Leadership and Intraservice Conflict --Conclusion: Navalism and Its Trajectories --Notes --Bibliography --IndexAt the turn of the twentieth century, the United States and Germany emerged as the two most rapidly developing industrial nation-states of the Atlantic world. The elites and intelligentsias of both countries staked out claims to dominance in the twentieth century. In Militarism in a Global Age, Dirk Bönker explores the far-reaching ambitions of naval officers before World War I as they advanced navalism, a particular brand of modern militarism that stressed the paramount importance of sea power as a historical determinant. Aspiring to make their own countries into self-reliant world powers in an age of global empire and commerce, officers viewed the causes of the industrial nation, global influence, elite rule, and naval power as inseparable. Characterized by both transnational exchanges and national competition, the new maritime militarism was technocratic in its impulses; its makers cast themselves as members of a professional elite that served the nation with its expert knowledge of maritime and global affairs.American and German navalist projects differed less in their principal features than in their eventual trajectories. Over time, the pursuits of these projects channeled the two naval elites in different directions as they developed contrasting outlooks on their bids for world power and maritime force. Combining comparative history with transnational and global history, Militarism in a Global Age challenges traditional, exceptionalist assumptions about militarism and national identity in Germany and the United States in its exploration of empire and geopolitics, warfare and military-operational imaginations, state formation and national governance, and expertise and professionalism.United States in the world.Sea-powerGermanyHistory19th centurySea-powerGermanyHistory20th centurySea-powerUnited StatesHistory19th centurySea-powerUnited StatesHistory20th centuryMilitarismGermanyHistory19th centuryMilitarismGermanyHistory20th centuryMilitarismUnited StatesHistory19th centuryMilitarismUnited StatesHistory20th centuryGermanyHistory, Naval19th centuryGermanyHistory, Naval20th centuryUnited StatesHistory, NavalTo 1900United StatesHistory, Naval20th centurySea-powerHistorySea-powerHistorySea-powerHistorySea-powerHistoryMilitarismHistoryMilitarismHistoryMilitarismHistoryMilitarismHistory359/.03094309034Bonker Dirk1806003MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973504003321Militarism in a global age4354917UNINA
