Over the course of his distinguished career, David McCullough has spoken before Congress, the White House, colleges and universities, historical societies, and other esteemed institutions. Now, as many Americans engage in self-reflection following a bitter election campaign that has left the country divided, McCullough has collected some of his most important speeches in a brief volume that articulates important principles and characteristics that are particularly American..."--Jacket.
American Architecture and Urbanism

| ISBN | : 1595341803 |
A classic book authored by the foremost architectural historian in America, this fully illustrated history of American architecture and city planning is based on Vincent Scully's conviction that architecture and city planning are inseparably linked and must therefore be treated together. He defines architecture as a continuing dialogue between generations which creates an environment across time. This definitive survey extends beyond the cities themselves to the American scene as a whole, which has inspired the reasonable balanced, closed and ordered forms, and above all the probity, that he feels typifies American architecture.

The catalogue is not a mere reiteration of the exhibition; it excludes some images that hang on the wall, like a still-life of crystals that looks at once tongue-in-cheek and hippie-chic, while lavishing attention on others left out of the show. There are twenty-six pages devoted to pictures of Ethridge?s drive through the Rocky Mountains in January, all of them timeless vistas, in which the natural world dwarfs what little evidence there is of human encroachment. A passing car fades into insignificance beneath striated rockface that it took the Earth millennia to create. The landscapes are grouped in the catalogue according to the three-day period over which they were taken: January 19th, 20th, and 21st, the days before, during, and after the Presidential Inauguration. Political critique or pure coincidence? Exhibition: Andrew Kreps Gallery, New York, United States (23.02.-08.04.2017).
