Transforming Paris : the life and labors of Baron… par David P. Jordan

Time for yet another paper on Haussmannization. When will they end? Maybe when I stop going back to architecture school. Anyway, this is a solid overview of Baron Haussmann's role in the overhaul of Paris c. 1850-1870. Insufficient attention is paid to the sewers, but I guess a girl can't have it all.

King's Trial: Louis XVI Vs. the French Revolution par David P. Jordan

Well documents insights into the specifics of King Louis XVI's trial. Good look into aspects of the workings of revolutionary organization and the operation of judicial system during extraordinary times.
