{"product_id":"architectures-of-survival-adam-page-9781526122582","title":"Architectures of Survival: Air War and Urbanism in Britain, 1935-52","description":"Architectures of survival is an original and innovative work of history that investigates the relationship between air war and urbanism in modern Britain. It asks how the development of airpower and the targeting of cities influenced perceptions of urban spaces and visions of urban futures from the interwar period into the Cold War, highlighting the importance of war and the anticipation of war in modern urban history. Airpower created a permanent threat to cities and civilians, and this book considers how architects, planners and government officials reframed bombing as an ongoing urban problem, rather than one contingent to a particular conflict. It draws on archival material from local and national government, architectural and town planning journals and cultural texts, to demonstrate how cities were recast as targets, and planning for defence and planning for development became increasingly entangled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Page\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526122588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526122582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Adam Page","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065678803199,"sku":"9781526122582","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ed00304-8f3a-40b4-a585-7c7b5a7c42b3.jpg?v=1768676564","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/architectures-of-survival-adam-page-9781526122582","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
