Dusk till Dawn: A History of the Evening Dress

Publisher: Scriptum Editions
Description: From Renaissance courtesans swathed in gold cloth to Victorian debutantes corseted in rich silks: from flappers swinging beaded hems and Hollywood starlets draped in lame to today`s red-carpel goddesses, women have transformed themselves for night. Even Coco Chanel, renowned for her comfortable daywear, saw evening fashion as something quite separate, not to be constrained by matters of practicality. `Be a caterpillar by day and a butterfly at night`, she advised. `Nothing could be more comfortable than a caterpillar and nothing more made for love than a butterfly`.

Donald Worster
Dust Bowl: The Southern Plains in the 1930s

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the mid 1930s, North America`s Great Plains faced one of the worst man-made environmental disasters in world history. Donald Worster`s classic chronicle of the devastating years between 1929 and 1939 tells the story of the Dust Bowl in ecological as well as human terms. Now, twenty-five years after his book helped to define the new field of environmental history, Worster shares his more recent thoughts on the subject of the land and how humans interact with it. In a new afterword, he links the Dust Bowl to current political, economic and ecological issues--including the American livestock industry`s exploitation of the Great Plains, and the on-going problem of desertification, which has now become a global phenomenon. He reflects on the state of the plains today and the threat of a new dustbowl. He outlines some solutions that have been proposed, such as `the Buffalo Commons,` where deer, antelope, bison and elk would once more roam freely, and suggests that we may yet witness a… [detailed...]

Arkadii Dragomoshchenko
Dust

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Arkadii Dragomoshchenko, Russia`s leading founder of Language poetry, in his new collection of essays fuses seemingly disparate elements of poetry, philosophy, journalism, and prose in an attempt to capture the workings of memory. At stake is not what he writes about—whether memory, Gertrude Stein, immortality, or a walk on Nevsky Prospect—but how he writes it. Formally, Dragomoshchenko never tires of digression, creating playful games of patience and anticipation for his reader. In so doing, he pushes story and closure into the background—arriving, finally, but not to a destination. Ultimately, Dragomoshchenko `carefully seeks out the dust of traces from the period of oblivion,` which evidently lead to the oblivion of minds. [detailed...]

De Zwarte Hond is a large and wide-ranging bureau with branches in Groningen and Rotterdam, and has one of most extensive and eclectic portfolios of built projects in the Netherlands. The bureau is unique in its down-to-earth design mentality that is inspired by the conviction that the best design is the result of a thorough study of task, program, and context. The book concentrates on the design process and the resulting solutions for a series of projects within recent years. This focus on `process` and `result` is approached in two ways: on one hand, by means of a substantial reflection on their methodology in which craftsmanship and research are at least as important as the end result, on the other hand, by means of a complete overview of all 500 projects in their… [detailed...]

Dutch Seventeenth-Century Genre Painting: Its Stylistic and Thematic Evolution

Description: The appealing genre paintings of great seventeenth-century Dutch artists – Vermeer, Steen, de Hooch, Dou and others – have long enjoyed tremendous popularity. This comprehensive book explores the evolution of genre painting throughout the Dutch Golden Age, beginning in the early 1600s and continuing through the opening years of the next century. Wayne Franits, a well-known scholar of Dutch genre painting, offers a wealth of information about these works as well as about seventeenth-century Dutch culture, its predilections and its prejudices. The author approaches genre paintings from a variety of perspectives, examining their reception among contemporary audiences and setting the works in their political, cultural and economic contexts. The works emerge as distinctly conventional images, Franits shows, as genre artists continually replicated specific styles, motifs and a surprisingly restricted number of themes over the course of several generations.

Duty and Desire

2006 y.
Publisher: Touchstone
Description: Jane Austen`s classic novel Pride and Prejudice is beloved by millions, but little is revealed in the book about the mysterious and handsome hero, Mr. Darcy. And so the question has long remained: Who is Fitzwilliam Darcy? Pamela Aidan`s trilogy finally answers that long-standing question, creating a rich parallel story that follows Darcy as he meets and falls in love with Elizabeth Bennet. Duty and Desire, the second book in the trilogy, covers the `silent time` of Austen`s novel, revealing Darcy`s private struggle to overcome his attraction to Elizabeth while fulfilling his roles as landlord, master, brother, and friend. When Darcy pays a visit to an old classmate in Oxford in an attempt to shake Elizabeth from his mind, he is set upon by husband-hunting society ladies and ne`er-do-well friends from his university days, all with designs on him-some for good and some for ill. He and his sartorial genius of a valet, Fletcher, must match wits with them all, but especially… [detailed...]

Bush, the 41st President of the United States: discipline, duty, ethics, commitment, courage, honor, honesty, loyalty, and responsibility. And it looks at the ways the Bush family legacy has made Prescott Bush, former President George Bush, George W.

Description: Book Description Buildings that Last provides the layperson with a basis for participating in the discussion about sustainable housing. This book is not about bricks and adobe, nor about cladding with aluminum or glass, nor about the difference between natural and mechanical ventilation. While these are all important aspects of sustainable building, the real key is for the partners in the construction process--including the commissioning bodies--to consider early on the physical, social, and cultural environment in which they want to be accommodated. This first thinking stage can lead to the unearthing of surprising solutions that are considerably more sustainable than what has been the norm until now. Real estate is still too often thought of as aquestion of meeting the demand for floor space in square meters (or feet, depending)--and little else.

Description: Anyone who has admired Gainsborough`s Blue Boy of the Huntington Collection in California, or Rembrandt`s Aristotle Contemplating the Bust of Homer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York owes much of his or her pleasure to art dealer Joseph Duveen (1869–1939). Regarded as the most influential—or, in some circles, notorious—dealer of the twentieth century, Duveen established himself selling the European masterpieces of Titian, Botticelli, Giotto, and Vermeer to newly and lavishly wealthy American businessmen—J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, and Andrew Mellon, to name just a few. It is no exaggeration to say that Duveen was the driving force behind every important private art collection in the United States.
