Mapping the Spectrum: Techniques of Visual R… by Klaus Hentschel
Thorough, wide-ranging, meticulous, admirable - model work.
An uncommon topic and viewpoint, explored carefully and insightfully.
Exhaustive; innovative; a model of scholarship.
Very well written story about why and how and by whom the Einsteinturm in Potsdam was built. It tells the story about the unique meeting and collaboration of the young stronomer Erwin Finlay Freundlich, Albert Einstein and the architect Erich Mendelsohn.

The histories of persons, places, science and architecture come together in this booklet.Henschell… (more)
