Helmut Holzapfel’s Urbanism and Transport, a bestseller in its own country, now available in English, examines the history and the future of urban design for transport in major European cities. Urbanism and Transport shows how the automobile has come to dominate the urban landscape of cities throughout the world, providing thought-provoking analysis of the societal and ideological precursors that have given rise to these developments. It describes the transformation that occurred in urban life through the ongoing separation of social functions that began in the 1920s and has continued to produce today's phenomenon of fractured urban experience – a sort of island urbanism.Professor Holzapfel examines the vital relation between the house and the street in the urban environment and explains the importance of small-scale, mixed-use urban development for humane city living, contrasting such developments with the overpowering role that the automobile typically plays in today's cities. Taking the insights gained from its historical analysis with a special focus on Germany and the rise of fascism, the book provides recommendations for architects and engineers on how urban spaces, streets, structures and transport networks can be more successfully integrated in the present day.Urbanism and Transport is a key resource for architects, transport engineers, urban and spatial planners, and students providing essential basic knowledge about the urban situation and the challenges of reclaiming cities to serve the basic needs of people rather than the imperatives of automobile transport.

Lewis Carroll, Photographer is a book written by Helmut Gernsheim that explores the lesser-known aspect of Lewis Carroll's life as a photographer. Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, is known for his literary works such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, but he was also an avid photographer. The book delves into Carroll's passion for photography, which began in the 1850s and continued until his death in 1898. Gernsheim provides a comprehensive overview of Carroll's photographic works, including his portraits of children, landscapes, and still life compositions. The book also sheds light on the technical aspects of Carroll's photography, including his use of the wet collodion process and his experimentation with different lenses and camera angles. The author also explores the relationship between Carroll's photography and his literary works, highlighting the influence of photography on his writing and vice versa. The book features numerous photographs taken by Carroll, as well as images of the photographer himself and his subjects. Overall, Lewis Carroll, Photographer is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the life and works of Lewis Carroll, photography, or the intersection of art and literature. It provides a unique perspective on the man behind Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian photography.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This pioneering study explores early medieval Frankish identity as a window into the formation of a distinct Western conception of ethnicity. Focusing on the turbulent and varied history of Frankish identity in Merovingian and Carolingian historiography, it offers a new basis for comparing the history of collective and ethnic identity in the Christian West with other contexts, especially the Islamic and Byzantine worlds. The tremendous political success of the Frankish kingdoms provided the medieval West with fundamental political, religious and social structures, including a change from the Roman perspective on ethnicity as the quality of the 'Other' to the Carolingian perception that a variety of Christian peoples were chosen by God to reign over the former Roman provinces. Interpreting identity as an open-ended process, Helmut Reimitz explores the role of Frankish identity in the multiple efforts through which societies tried to find order in the rapidly changing post-Roman world.
