The meeting will be held at 2pm in the Robert M. Grace Library at the Preservation Foundation’s offices located at 311 Peruvian Avenue in Palm Beach.

Marshall Berman’s All That Is Solid Melts Into Air: The Experience of Modernity is widely acclaimed as one of the greatest books on modernity. A kaleidoscopic journey into the experiences of modernization, the dizzying social changes that swept millions up in the 20th century, it dexterously interweaves an exploration of modernism in art, literature, and architecture. The excerpts from this book will deal specifically with the urban planning of New York City in the post-war era.

Participants are asked to come prepared with an understanding of the assigned reading and openness to discussion. The Foundation’s Executive Director Alexander C. Ives will lead the group discussion.

The Book Reading Club and Discussion Group is open to both members and non-members of the Foundation and is FREE to all, though seating is limited to approximately 20 people.  To make reservations please call 561.832.0731.
