Peter Mayer is no stranger to adversity.
After enduring the loss of his mother, the disappearance of his older brother during military service, and the ransacking of his beloved hometown in Germany during the Allied occupation, he is determined to press onward toward his future as a wood craftsman. With his good friend Georg in tow, he travels to the United States seeking a fresh start. As he does his best to leave behind the memories of World War II, he has no idea that there are many more wars to fight, many more losses to endure, and above all, many more hard-won joys to cherish.
Welcome Home by Michael O'Brien is a young man's tale of heartbreak, adventure, and triumph as he forges his own path from life in war-torn Germany to the opportunities that await him in America. Will he yield to his father's wishes and return to Memmingen, or will he choose to stay in the U.S. for good, and create his own legacy?

Paperback. Etat : Good. The Tender Detail tells a story about the repression of sentimentality through architectural ornament. The protagonists are Louis H. Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright, two of the most important architects and designers of ornament in American history. Exploring how both men worked to solve the problem of late nineteenth-century ornamentation, the book interweaves close readings of their buildings and writings with wide ranging discussions across the fields of architecture, sexuality, gender, and philosophy. It suggests that their solutions, while widely different, were both intimately rooted in the tender emotions of sentimentality. Viewing ornament in this way reveals much, not only about Sullivan and Wright's artistic intentions, but also about the role of affect, the value of beauty, and the agency and ontology of objects. Illuminated by personal stories from their respective autobiographies, which add a level of human interest unusual in an academic work, The Tender Detail is a readable, scholarly study which sheds fresh light on Sullivan and Wright's relationship, their work, and on the nature of ornament itself.
