    Towards a New Architecture is a seminal work by the Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier, first published in 1923.
    
    Le Corbusier presents his vision for modern architecture, advocating for a break from traditional architectural forms and a move towards a more functional, rational, and utilitarian approach to design. The book is a manifesto for the principles that would later influence the International Style and modernist architecture.
    
    Le Corbusier argues that architecture should be shaped by the needs of modern society, particularly the advancements in technology, industry, and engineering. He calls for a design language that reflects these changes, emphasizing clean lines, open spaces, and the use of new materials such as steel and concrete. He famously promotes the idea of the "machine for living," where buildings should serve as efficient, functional spaces rather than decorative structures.
    Towards a New Architecture is a foundational text for modern architecture which has significantly influenced the development of the International Style, urban planning, and the way we think about the built environment today.

    Whether you call them franks, wieners, or red hots, hot dogs are as American as apple pie, but how did these little links become icons of American culture? Man Bites Dog explores the transformation of hot dogs from unassuming street fare to paradigms of regional expression, social mobility, and democracy. World-renowned hot dog scholar Bruce Kraig investigates the history, people, décor, and venues that make up hot dog culture and what it says about our country.  These humble sausages cross ethnic and regional boundaries and have provided the means for plucky entrepreneurs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Hot dogs, and the ways we enjoy them, are part of the American dream. Man Bites Dog celebrates the power of the hot dog through a historical survey and profiles of notable hot dog purveyors. Loaded with stunning color photos by Patty Carroll, descriptions of neighborhood venues and flashy pushcarts from New York to Los Angeles, and recipes for cooking up hot dog heaven at home, this book is the u
