Summary:
Scholar and historian Christopher Long turns his attention to the little-known German-born architect and designer Jock Peters (1889–1934). Long's engaging study introduces us to the modernist's architectural work in Hamburg, Germany, before World War I, and also to Peters's work created after he immigrated to America in 1922. Most notable are his interiors for the once-famous Hollander department store in New York City and for Bullock's Wilshire in Los Angeles (the building was recently restored by Southwestern Law School). Both projects brought him international recognition. Peters also designed a dynamic sales office building for the short-lived Maddux Air Lines, as well as stores and houses for the developer William Lingenbrink, a major supporter of the burgeoning modernism in Southern California. Aside from his architectural work, Peters designed film sets for Famous Players-Lasky (later Paramount Pictures), working in the famed art department of Hans Dreier. Despite his early death, Peters managed to leave his mark on the modernist landscape in Southern California at a time when the new style was just emerging.

Summary:
''Raising the Curtain'' centres on two modernist opera theatres built on the western periphery of the Soviet Union, now located in the capitals of Lithuania and Belarus: the Opera and Ballet Theatre in Vilnius, Lithuania, inaugurated in 1974, and the Comic Opera in Minsk, Belarus, which opened in 1981. Both were designed, by a lucky coincidence, by architectural collectives led by women, Nijole Buciute (1930-2010) and Oxana Tkachuk (b. 1933) respectively. Drawing upon the close relation of operatic environments to national imaginaries, the book expands the stories of the theatres’ creation into an interrogation of the national condition in the Soviet non-Russian republics. Lithuania and Belarus exemplify the broad range of Soviet national scenarios, presenting two polar extremes of the paths taken: Lithuania was the first republic to leave the Soviet Union in 1990, while Belarus retained its reputation as the “last Soviet republic” well into the 21st century. ''Raising the Curtain'' puts centre stage the involvement of architecture of Soviet modernism with the geopolitical transformations of the era, offering an intimate look at the tectonic shifts which still reverberate across the globe.
