add to cart   close window

With vivid word pictures and illustrations Edith Elmer Wood describes thousands upon thousands of new homes that are being built in Great Britain, Holland, Belgium, Italy and France in the book "Housing Progress in Western Europe: 1923. In an appendix she adds more recent notes on Spain, Switzerland and Portugal. Had she wished further to drive home the splendid efforts of still other countries, she might have included Scandinavia, Germany, and Austria. For in the depleted central nations as well as in their more prosperous northern and western neighbors, it is seen heroic efforts are being made to meet the need for wholesome homes for the people.
