Howard, what a saint you've been all these years to put
up with ignorant promoters of the over-promoted like
the messager below. Being unable to trash such slugs,
and insult them sufficiently to get them to go away sucks.
Got any suggestions?

Dear Owner and Editor,
A few weeks ago, I sent the following book announcement to the Basic and
Applied Design List, but have not heard whether or not you posted the
announcement to the list. I'd appreciate your feedback on this.
Previously, I would send book announcements to Howard Lawrence at Penn
State, and he would post them to the list. If you would prefer not to post
announcements, or if you would like me to edit this announcement, please
let me know. Thank you!

Le Corbusier, the Noble Savage
Toward an Archaeology of Modernism
Adolf Max Vogt
translated by Radka Donnell
http://mitpress.mit.edu/promotions/books/VOGLHS98
Adolf Max Vogt looks to the early, formative years of Le Corbusier's life
as a key to understanding his mature practice and to solving such
fundamental riddles as, "Where did his design vocabulary come from?" and
"How was his aesthetic sense formed?"
9 x 9, 408 pp., 265 illus., cloth ISBN 0-262-22056-3
Architecture Theory since 1968
edited by K. Michael Hays
http://mitpress.mit.edu/promotions/books/HAYAHS98
This anthology presents forty-seven of the primary texts of architecture
theory, introducing each with an explication of the concepts and categories
necessary for its understanding and evaluation. It also presents twelve
documents of projects or events that had major theoretical repercussions
for the period. Several of the essays appear here in English for the first
time.

Anyhow
edited by Cynthia Davidson
http://mitpress.mit.edu/promotions/books/DAVWPF98
Twelve architects, including Arata Isozaki, Paul Andreu, Rem Koolhaas,
Peter Eisenman, and Bernard Tschumi, join critics Fredric Jameson, Hubert
Damisch, Elizabeth Grosz, Beatriz Colomina, Kojin Karatani, and others in
addressing the questions of "anyhow," of how architecture operates and is
perceived today. The twenty-four illustrated essays are organized around
themes ranging from the architectural office to the urban landscape to the
philosophy of pragmatism.
8 x 10 1/2, 272 pp., 120 illus., paper ISBN 0-262-54095-9
The Favored Circle
The Social Foundations of Architectural Distinction
Garry Stevens
http://mitpress.mit.edu/promotions/books/STE1FHF98
The popular view of architecture focuses on individual creative geniuses,
those who have designed the most "significant" works. According to Garry
Stevens, however, successful architects owe their success not so much to
genius as to social background and a host of other factors that have very
little to do with native talent.
