Jan Suermondt Livres

The first in a series that uses computer technology to literally lift the lid from the work of famous architects and show their buildings in great detail. The greatest American architect is the subject of the first book, with five of his signature private houses covered: the Robie house--greatest of his Prairie houses; the Ennis House--one of West Coast textile-block houses; the Usonian Fallingwater, possibly his greatest creation; the second house he built for Herbert Jacobs, one of his earth-bermed solar hemicycles; and finally, part of Wright's dream for affordable, mass-produced housing--one of his Erdman Prefabricated dwellings.

The restoration and display of historic military vehicles is a hobby that has grown enormously in Britain and elsewhere since the 1980s. In this companion volume to World War II Allied Vehicles, photographer Jan Suermondt offers a gallery of close-up studies of German army tanks, trucks, half-tracks, motorbikes, armored vehicles and guns for the information and pleasure of military historians, restorers, modelers and enthusiasts alike. Highlights include Panzer II and III tanks, a variety of half-tracks, Hetzer, BMW R12 and R35 motorcycles, artillery pieces and unusual support items such as radio trucks and a field kitchen.

Das Restaurieren und Sammeln historischer Militärfahrzeuge findet immer mehr Anhänger. Und dies nicht nur in Großbriannien und den USA, sondern auch in Deutschland.

Für alle technisch Interessierten sowie für Modellbauer ist dies der ideale Titel, denn er zeigt restaurierte Wehrmachtsfahrzeuge in erstklassigen Fotos. Dieser Band stellt anhand von 220 brillanten Farbaufnahmen 24 fahrbereite Fahrzeuge vor - vom BMW R 12 Beiwagenkrad bis zum schweren TIGER-Panzer.
