A thrilling, first-person account of one of the most famous prison escapes of World War II.Jens Müller was one of only three men who successfully escaped from Stalag Luft III on the night of March 24, 1944--the breakout that later became the basis for the famous film The Great Escape.His memoir tells how Müller, a pilot in one of the RAF's Norwegian squadrons, was shot down by the Luftwaffe over the English Channel in June 1942. After some days at sea in his Spitfire's life raft, he made it to land in Belgium but was soon captured by the occupying Germans and sent as a prisoner of war to Stalag Luft III (in what is now Zagan, Poland). Müller vividly describes life in the camp, how the escapes were planned, and relates the compelling story of his personal breakout. Together with Per Bergsland, he managed to make it to the coast and stowed away on a ship to Gothenburg, Sweden. The two men eventually reached RAF Leuchars base in Scotland.

Jens Mulller was one of only three men who successfully escaped from Stalag Luft III (now in ?aga? Poland) in March 1944—the break that later became the basis for the famous film The Great Escape. Together with Per Bergsland another Norwegian POW he stowed away on a ship to Gothenburg Sweden. The escapees sought out the British consulate and were flown from Stockholm to Scotland. From there they were sent by train to London and shortly afterwards to 'Little Norway' in Canada. Muller's book about his wartime experiences was first published in Norwegian in 1946 titled Tre kom Tilbake (Three Came Back). This new edition is the first translation into English and will correct the impression—set by the film—that the men who escaped successfully were American and Australian. In a vivid informative memoir he details what life in the camp was like how the escapes were planned and executed and tells the story of his personal breakout and success reaching RAF Leuchars in Scotland.

This monograph assimilates new research in the field of low-dimensional metals. It provides a detailed overview of the current status of research on quasi-one- and two-dimensional molecular metals, describing normal-state properties, magnetic field effects, superconductivity, and the phenomena of interacting p and d electrons. It includes a number of findings likely to become standard material in future textbooks on solid-state physics.

Through the turbulent passage of time, graphic design―with its vivid, neat synthesis of image and idea―has distilled the spirit of each age. Surrounding us every minute of every day, from minimalist packaging to colorful adverts, smart environmental graphics to sleek interfaces: graphic design is as much about transmitting information as it is about reflecting society’s cultural aspirations and values.
This second volume rounds off our in-depth exploration of graphic design, spanning from the 1960s until today. About 3,500 seminal designs from across the globe guide us in this visual map through contemporary history, from the establishment of the International Style to the rise of the groundbreaking digital age. Around 80 key pieces go under the microscope in detailed analyses besides 118 biographies of the era’s most important designers, including Massimo Vignelli (New York subway wayfinding system), Otl Aicher (Lufthansa identity), Paula Scher (Citibank brand identity), Neville Brody (The Face magazine), Kashiwa Sato (Uniqlo brand identity), and Stefan Sagmeister (handwriting posters).
With his sweeping knowledge of the field, author Jens Müller curates the standout designs for each year alongside a running sequence of design milestones. Organized chronologically, each decade is prefaced by a succinct overview as well as a stunning visual timeline, offering a vivid display of the variety of graphic production in each decade as well as the global landscape which it at once described and defined.
This collection of important graphic works represents a long-overdue reflection on the development of a creative field constantly changing and challenging itself. These key pieces act as coordinates through contemporary history, helping us trace the sheer influence of graphic design on our daily lives.
Combined with Volume One―which spans from the field’s very beginnings until 1959―the tomes offer the most comprehensive exploration of graphic design to date.

The History of Graphic Design

Review\n“Jens Müller ambitiously traces not only the evolution of an industry, but also the arc of our aesthetics.” ― TIME Magazine\nNel vorticoso passare del tempo, il graphic design – con la sua vivida e nitida sintesi di immagini e idee – ha catturato lo spirito di ogni epoca. Ogni singolo istante di ogni giorno siamo circondati da packaging minimalisti, pubblicità pittoresche, brillanti infografiche ambientali e agili interfacce: ecco dunque che il graphic design serve tanto a trasmettere informazioni quanto a riflettere le aspirazioni culturali e i valori di una società.\nGrazie alla sua vasta conoscenza della materia, l’autore Jens Müller passa in rassegna i progetti più straordinari di ogni anno, che rappresentano altrettante pietre miliari nella storia del design. Questa raccolta di importanti lavori grafici rappresenta una riflessione ormai imprescindibile sull’evoluzione di un campo creativo soggetto a continui cambiamenti e sfide. Aiutandoci a riconoscere l’impatto decisivo del graphic design sulla nostra vita quotidiana, questi progetti fondamentali fungono da coordinate per orientarsi nella storia contemporanea.\nAbout the series

The beginning of minimalism: The fascinating story of German graphic design of the early 20th century 
Pioneers of German Graphic Design tells the story of German graphic design in all its detail, from the late monarchy to the Wirtschaftswunder after World War II. Author Jens Müller, an expert in the field, explores the circumstance that led to the groundbreaking inventions of Germany's graphic design pioneers in an era of tumultuous politics and rapid social and economic change, shedding light not only on the development of the profession but on its international influence. Müller's analysis reveals that aesthetic principles of reduction and minimalism were introduced long before the foundation of the famous Bauhaus in 1919.
Peter Behrens created the world's first comprehensive corporate design for AEG as early as 1907, designing everything from the corporate logo to products, showrooms and even headquarter and production buildings. Other innovators soon followed: Lucian Bernhard prompted a revolution in poster design, Wilhelm Deffke and Karl Schulpig invented the modern logo, Herbert Bayer expanded the language of form at the Bauhaus, Jan Tschichold promoted a new typographic style and John Heartfield introduced photomontage as a means of visual communication. They were all caught up in a spirit of enthusiasm and opportunity which swept across Germany, and especially Berlin, in the early decades of the 20th century. 
Alongside the vivid depiction of these milestones of graphic design the book analyzes how German zeitgeist had turned from emotional Expressionism to the matter-of-fact New Objectivity and how German modernist design subsequently became internationally recognized and had a significant influence on design movements in Western Europe and the United States.
Apart from reproducing more than 1,000 iconic designs in magnificent quality, this volume exhibits a great diversity of important unpublished or forgotten pieces. It presents the inspirational stories of fourteen graphic designers who essentially shaped the modern profession and established a visual language that changed our aesthetic perception forever.
