Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This fascinating book spans the early part of a century of contradictions: From being the firstborn child of a steel magnate in England's industrial north in the thirties, via this comfortable upbringing; to being a respected architect in London in the fifties and sixties and later fostering an architectural Renaissance with a family-based design and construction company in California.

Her observations of the relationships between England and the US are thought-provoking.'-A reader of June: Roots of Steel.…
