In the twenty years since its original publication, The Ghosts of Berlin has become a classic, an unparalleled guide to understanding the presence of history in our built environment, especially in a space as historically contested—and emotionally fraught—as Berlin. Brian Ladd examines the ongoing conflicts radiating from the remarkable fusion of architecture, history, and national identity in Berlin. Returning to the city frequently, Ladd continues to survey the urban landscape, traversing its ruins, contemplating its buildings and memorials, and carefully deconstructing the public debates and political controversies emerging from its past.

Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Mobi is Good TO READ!

Special Edition The Ghosts of Berlin: Confronting German History in the Urban Landscape with FREE MOBI EDITION!

In this dated history of Berlin, the author posits the idea that buildings, statues, ruins, and architecture in general matter. Yes, they do. Places like the Berlin Wall, the Reichstag, Hitler's chancellery, Prussian palaces and street names reveal a lot of about the citizens of Berlin. Especially in how these places' history and present and future are debated. I am reminded of the phrase that nothing is as dated as yesterday's vision of the future. So while this book excels in recapping the history of particular sites, especially the debates about reconstruction, the book itself is hopelessly out of date. A lot has happened in Berlin in the past twenty years. And some of the debates of the book are settled. This book needs a serious update to reflect the landscape of Berlin in the 21st century.The author does a good job of injecting the voices of the debate into his story at the beginning of each of the chapters through the use of quotes. But he also has a tone and a pessimism that is a bit off-putting, especially when he states "Politicians and architects who want to put to rest the ghosts of Berlin are probably doomed to failure." I disagree. Vehemently. The author should go to Berlin today in 2016 and see if still agrees with that statement of his.Still, there was a lot of good material and the author captured a snapshot of a time now long past. Thankfully. I am quite happy that the Berlin of the 21st century is a dynamic city that is once again capturing the imagination of the world.
