LEWIS MUMFORD: A LIFE
Book ID/图书代码： 05136010B43429
English Summary/英文概要： Malcolm Cowley called Lewis Mumford "the last of the great humanists," and indeed, in more than six decades of writing, Mumford made contributions to history, philosophy, literature, art, architectural criticism, and urban planning. The author of some thirty books, Mumford produced a body of work almost unequaled in the twentieth century for its range and richness. A New York Times Notable Book, Donald Miller’s engagingly written biography reveals Mumford’s full and fascinating life. Based on ten years of research and unprecedented access to original and private papers, Miller penetrates Mumford’s reserved public persona and takes in the complete man, his works as well as his days, as he struggles to transform the world -- and his own life -- in decades marked by unparalleled change.

"With this large, large-spirited life of Lewis Mumford ... Miller takes his place in the first rank of contemporary American biographers."---David McCullough大衛．麥卡勒，歷史學家，普立茲獎與全美圖書獎得主
A sympathetic, carefully researched, intimate biography of one of this century’s most important American intellectuals. Mumford’s private life is discussed in detail, not for lurid effect, nor even merely to help us better understand one man’s moral and psychological struggles, but to illuminate some very fundamental conditions of life in our century.”---Robert A. M. Stern 羅伯特‧斯坦恩，美國建築師、耶魯大學建築學院院長
"Miller is an excellent critical guide to Mumford’s voluminous writing." ---The New Yorker《紐約客》
"A gracefully written biography." ---Francesca McKeon, San Francisco Chronicle《舊金山紀事報》
