1 comments about Gourmet & Specialty Shops.

1. This may be my own mistake but what I was expecting to find here was some ideas on decoratinag a specialty shop. Merchandising ideas would have been helpful but all this is is a collection of photos from various gourmet shops around the world. At the cost of nearly $60.00 it is grossly overpriced with mediocre photography and limited content. One of my worse purchases ever.

1 comments about Athena in the Classical World.

1. This book developed out of a conference on Athena held at Oxford in April 1998. It seeks to bring together a range of contributions which present the latest research in a number of disciplines, and aims to shed light on the goddess from a variety of angles. By drawing on current research in ancient religion, literature, art and archaeology, the contributions cover a wide and exciting area, not only in terms of geographical and chronological scope, but also in the range of topics. It would be hard to read this book without feeling enriched and moved to investigate the subject further. Among ancient Greek deities, none has enjoyed as rich a life in modern times as Athena, as this book shows. Its detailed introduction by the editors would, on its own, serve as a valuable reference work on Athena in her many guises.

   This book looks at Athena's cult, myth and iconography. It also examines political, social, and gendered concerns, and art historical and etymological developments.

   Common and recurrent themes are explored, as are the many dividing lines, evolutionary processes, and even contradictory elements which characterise representations of the goddess.

   The volume has enhanced my understanding of Athena, and will be a source of inspiration for new ideas and interpretations.

1 comments about The Wright Space.

1. Some books on Frank Lloyd Wright do not fill the page with the photo, they'll have a white border. Others will have a number of black and white photos. Others will have as much as half the book in text. This book has none of those. It's 90% or more big color photos with up to half of them filling the page. It differs from many FLW books in that it is mainly photos of interiors. Most of the photographs were taken by Balthazar Korab and Paul Rocheleau and they did an excellent job. I own about 50 FLW books. I try to buy those that are large and filled with photos of his buildings. Another unique aspect of this book is there are several photos looking up at the ceiling of various FLW buildings which is a real treat. There are probably over 150 photos here.
   
   The book is catagorized into Integrity of Site and Structure, Common and Private Spaces, Multilevel Interiors, Sheltering Eaves and Balconies, Indoor/Outdoor Gardens and the Grammar of Simplicity. Most of the buildings presented are his most famous ones. Printed in 2001 it's definitely worth a low used book price. For these reasons it is a must buy for the FLW fan of color photos in a relatively large book for a very reasonable price.
