Keith Lowe: Savage Continent: Europe in the Aftermath of World War II

Savage Continent: Europe in the Aftermath of World War II


Description

Winner of the PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize "A superb and immensely important book." Jonathan Yardley, "The Washington Post" "" ""The Second World War might have officially ended in May 1945, but in reality it rumbled on for another ten years... The end of World War II in Europe is remembered as a time when cheering crowds filled the streets, but the reality was quite different. Across Europe, landscapes had been ravaged, entire cities razed, and more than thirty million people had been killed in the war. The institutions that we now take for granted such as police, media, transport, and local and national government were either entirely absent or compromised. Crime rates soared, economies collapsed, and whole populations hovered on the brink of starvation.. In "Savage Continent," Keith Lowe describes a continent where individual Germans and collaborators were rounded up and summarily executed, where concentration camps were reopened, and violent anti-Semitism was reborn. In some of the monstrous acts of ethnic cleansing the world has ever seen, tens of millions were expelled from their ancestral homelands. "Savage Continent" is the story of post war Europe, from the close of the war right to the establishment of an uneasy stability at the end of the 1940s. Based principally on primary sources from a dozen countries, "Savage Continent" is the chronicle of a world gone mad, the standard history of post World War II Europe for years to come."

It is cheap medicine' Lord Byron 'Better bread with water than cake with trouble' Russian Proverb New in the "100 Ideas that Changed..." series, this book demonstrates how ideas influenced and defined graphic design, and how those ideas have manifested themselves in objects of design. The 100 entries, arranged broadly in chronological order, range from technical (overprinting, rub-on designs, split fountain); to Savage Continent: Europe in the Aftermath of World War II free ebook stylistic (swashes on caps, loud typography, and white space); to objects (dust jackets, design handbooks); and, methods (paper cut-outs, pixelation). Written by one of the world's leading authorities on graphic design and lavishly illustrated, the book is both a great source of inspiration and a provocative record of some of the best examples of graphic design from the last hundred years.
