SynopsisFrom Kenneth Frampton, the doyen of architectural history, comes The Evolution of 20th-Century Architecture: A Synoptic Account. In this radical new approach to the history of architecture, Frampton traces what he considers to be the most powerful four lines of architecture: the avant-garde (1887 1986), organic architecture (1910 1998), modern and national styles (1935 1998), and industrialization and prefabrication (1927 1990). Born from his confident eye for the history, theory, and motives behind architecture, this richly illustrated overview will certainly become an instant classic and required reading for a new generation of students and historians., Len Deighton's classic first novel, whoseprotagonist is a nameless spy - later christened Harry Palmer and made famous worldwide in the iconic 1960s film starring Michael Caine. The Ipcress File was not only Len Deighton's first novel, it was his first bestseller and the book that broke the mould of thriller writing. For the working class narrator, an apparently straightforward mission to find a missing biochemist becomes a journey to the heart of a dark and deadly conspiracy. The film of The Ipcress File gave Michael Caine one of his first and still most celebrated starring roles, while the novel itself has become a classic.
