	Dan Wyman Books Antisemitica
		Houston Stewart Chamberlain (1855-1927), was the son of a British admiral.
		He wrote the 2 volume "Foundation of the 19th Century," a work Norman Cohn called "[The] Bible of the whole voelkisch-racist movement." Chamberlain characterized the Teutons as the race of creative culture, a race that would be responsible for the defending of Christian culture from the influences of Judaism.
		If once [sic] this 'race' were decisively defeated, the Germanic 'race' would be free to realize its own divinely appointed destiny--which was to create a new, radiant world, transfused with a noble spirituality and mysteriously combining modern technology and science with the rural, hierarchical culture of earlier times.

	Houston- Il Duomo
		The story of the Astrodome's creation is a form of surrealist frontier melodrama where financial risk-taking, political deal-making, and architectural daring intersect to recast the fates of humanity redefining our perceptions about the nature of buildings, the functions they contain, and the culture they represent.
		The Astrodome engages the sense of the infinite paradoxically.
		Freed of ultimate closure, the Astrodome becomes a microcosm, as though it were a colony in space or on society's conceptual frontier (which, in a sense, it was), with a wholeness independent of the outside world.

	Jimi Fritz: Rave Culture
		With "Rave Culture: An Insider's Overview" Jimi Fritz wrote a book which will hopefully convince people to drop their preconceptions about the rave phenomenon, which is still often associated with ecstasy, drugs and sex, while the positive aspects of raving remain unmentioned.
		Not only is the design and layout absolutely lovely, but so is the information and analysis on such topics as the history of raves, the commercial aspects of raves and, of course, the drugs which can be found at raves.
		I have to admit, I am not a rave fan at all although I used to cover the scene for a local music mag in Houston, Texas for more than two years.
