› Find signed collectible books: 'American Farmhouse'Book summary:Generally speaking, a farm consists of a plot of ground along with a house, a barn, and outbuildings. A the turn of the century, farming continued to compete with manufacturing in importance. By 1965, however, the majority of our population had been attracted to the cities and their outlying suburbs, where employment and conveniences were more plentiful and life seemed less rigorous. Today, however, the farm is again luring many people back to live in the country or, when this is impractical, to visit it frequently and experience the compensations that country living has to offer. One of the most interesting discoveries made in this survey of the American farmhouse is the many farmhouses, despite their present ample proportions, were initially small - then expanded out of necessity. It is regrettable that the farmhouse is slowly disappearing from the American scene. It is hopeful that the contents of this survey will encourage the preservation of many others. [via]

Apostle of Taste: Andrew Jackson Downing 1815-1852by David SchuylerISBN 0801862574 (0-8018-6257-4)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Apostle of Taste: Andrew Jackson Downing 1815-1852'Book summary:Though few Americans can identify Andrew Jackson Downing, who died in 1852 at just 36, his influence as an architect, horticulturist, writer, and town planner has been far-reaching. Through his writings and his designs, Downing helped lay the groundwork for the urban parks of Frederick Law Olmsted, the national park system, and even, in some ways, the conservation movement. Downing was very well-known in his time, especially for his best-selling pattern books illustrating Gothic Revival houses and picturesque grounds. David Schuyler, a professor of American Studies at Franklin and Marshall College, has produced a fascinating biography of Downing that also serves well as an introduction to design principles and architecture of the 19th century.

Art in Vienna 1898-1918: Klimt Kokoschka Schiele and Their Contemporariesby Peter VergoISBN 0801492262 (0-8014-9226-2)
Softcover, Cornell Univ Pr

› Find signed collectible books: 'Art in Vienna 1898-1918: Klimt Kokoschka Schiele and Their Contemporaries'Book summary:The artistic stagnation of Vienna at the end of the nineteenth century was rudely shaken by the artists of the Secession. Their works at first shocked a conservative public; but their successive exhibitions, their magazine "Ver Sacrum", and their application to the applied arts and architecture soon brought them an enthusiastic following and wealthy patronage. This book traces the course of this development, of the Wiener Werkstatte that followed, and the individual works of the artists concerned. Klimt, Olbrich, Loos and Hoffmann in architecture and applied arts. In other fields Mahler, Freud and Schnitzler were influencing the avant-garde. Peter Vergo quotes extensively from the writings of contemporary reviewers, critics and the artists themselves. He has eye-witness accounts of the exhibitions, the opening of the Secession building, the work in progress on the Palais Stoclet and Kabarett Fledermaus. The result is a documentary study of the successes and failures, hopes and fears of the members of an artistic movement which is still admired today. [via]

The Book of Teaby K. OkakuraISBN 0804800693 (0-8048-0069-3)
Hardcover, Tuttle Pub
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Book of Tea'Book summary:That a nation should construct one of its most resonant national ceremonies round a cup of tea will surely strike a chord of sympathy with at least some readers of this review. To many foreigners, nothing is so quintessentially Japanese as the tea ceremony--more properly, "the way of tea"--with its austerity, its extravagantly minimalist stylization, and its concentration of extreme subtleties of meaning into the simplest of actions. The Book of Tea is something of a curiosity: written in English by a Japanese scholar (and issued here in bilingual form), it was first published in 1906, in the wake of the naval victory over Russia with which Japan asserted its rapidly acquired status as a world-class military power. It was a peak moment of Westernization within Japan. Clearly, behind the publication was an agenda, or at least a mission to explain. Around its account of the ceremony, The Book of Tea folds an explication of the philosophy, first Taoist, later Zen Buddhist, that informs its oblique celebration of simplicity and directness--what Okakura calls, in a telling phrase, "moral geometry." And the ceremony itself? Its greatest practitioners have always been philosophers, but also artists, connoisseurs, collectors, gardeners, calligraphers, gourmets, flower arrangers. The greatest of them, Sen Rikyu, left a teasingly, maddeningly simple set of rules:
Make a delicious bowl of tea; lay the charcoal so that it heats the water; arrange the flowers as they are in the field; in summer suggest coolness; in winter, warmth; do everything ahead of time; prepare for rain; and give those with whom you find yourself every consideration.
A disciple remarked that this seemed elementary. Rikyu replied, "Then if you can host a tea gathering without deviating from any of the rules I have just stated, I will become your disciple." A Zen reply. Fascinating. --Robin Davidson, Amazon.co.uk [via]More editions of The Book of Tea:

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Bridge'Book summary:[via]With a new preface and afterword by the author and drawings by Lili Rethi.
Towards the end of 1964, the Verrazano Narrows Bridgelinking the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Staten Island with New Jerseywas completed. It remains an engineering marvel almost forty years laterat 13,700 feet (more than two and a half miles), it is still the longest suspension bridge in the United States and the sixth longest in the world. Gay Talese, then early in his career at the New York Times, closely followed the construction, and soon after the opening his book The Bridge appeared. Never before in paperback, it remains both a riveting human drama of politics and courage, and a demonstration of Taleses consummate skills as a reporter and storyteller. His memorable narrativeaccompanied, as then, by the astonishingly beautiful working drawings of Lili Rethiwill now captivate a new generation of readers.More editions of The Bridge:

Dery draws heavily on academic theorists such as Bataille, Foucault, Baudrillard and McLuhan, yet his writing style makes for a highly accessible book. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Gold by the Inch'Book summary:Lawrence Chua has long been praised for his astute cultural commentary and experimental prose. In his first novel, Gold by the Inch, he also proves himself as a vibrant and breathtaking writer of literary prose. The narrative follows a young gay man of Asian descent as he returns to Thailand from the United States for an extended visit and to recover from his father's death and a failed love affair. After becoming involved, well, obsessed, with a young male prostitute, the narrator has to confront issues he has long avoided: national identity, the exploitation of other people, and the endless clashes between Asian and Western cultures. Like the novels of Doris Lessing and Nadine Gordimer, Gold by the Inch attempts to wed the personal with the political, the emotional with the cultural. It is as much a novel of political ideas as it is a meditation on romantic and sexual relationships. Chua's prose is boldly literary and often shocking in its simplicity; he knows the power of words and has the ability to conjure up images that surprise and resonate. [via]

They took three billion man-hours to build. And even though most are crumbling today, they contain a magnificent scientific and cultural storyabout the geothermal forces that formed their stones, the tectonic movements that brought them to the surface, the glacial tide that broke them apart, the earth that held them for so long, and about the humans who built them.
Stone walls tell nothing less than the story of how New England was formed, and in Robert Thorsons hands they live and breathe. The stone wall is the key that links the natural history and human history of New England, Thorson writes. Millions of years ago, New Englands stones belonged to ancient mountains thrust up by prehistoric collisions between continents. During the Ice Age, pieces were cleaved off by glaciers and depositedoften hundreds of miles awaywhen the glaciers melted. Buried again over centuries by forest and soil buildup, the stones gradually worked their way back to the surface, only to become impediments to the farmers cultivating the land in the eighteenth century, who piled them into linear landfills, a place to hold the stones. Usually the biggest investment on a farm, often exceeding that of the land and buildings combined, stone walls became a defining element of the Northeasts landscape, and a symbol of the shift to an agricultural economy.
Stone walls layer time like Russian dolls, their smallest elements reflecting the longest spans, and Thorson urges us to study them, for each stone has its own story. Linking geological history to the early American experience, Stone by Stone presents a fascinating picture of the land the Pilgrims settled, allowing us to see and understand it with new eyes.More editions of Stone by Stone: The Magnificent History in New England's Stone Walls:
