Civilisation: 13-Heroic Materialism, Pt. I

Analyzes the skyscraper, the suspension bridge and the machine as objects which express the deepest feeling and aspirations of our time. Explains that more attention is paid in the Nineteenth Century to engineers than to the anachronistic Post-Impressionists. Focuses on civilization's many facets for destruction but man's unique talent for survival.
