Reviews

Modern Housing has special interest for Americans, not because of what we have done but because of what we have not done. --The New York Book Review (1934, R. L. Duffus) It should not be thought that this book is intended only, or even mainly, for technicians; on the contrary, it is entirely suitable both in manner and matter for anyone interested in its subject. --The Spectator (1935) Catherine Bauer's Modern Housing shows how we lag behind Europe in good homes for all. --The Washington Post (1934, Theodore Hall) In discussing Modern Housing, which deals largely with European achievements of the last fifteen years, it is difficult to exercise restraint and to avoid fulsome praise. --Lee M. Brooks, University of North Carolina (1935) Planners, architects, and builders today should be equally interested in this book. --Daphne Spain, University of Virginia
