Review An Engineer Imagines / Artemis:Now in paperback, this is Peter Rice's autobiography. Rice was widely acclaimed as the greatest structural engineer of his generation, a man whom, in Renzo Piano's words, could design structures 'like a pianist who can play with his eyes shut'. Working with many of the world's greatest architects on buildings that became icons of contemporary architecture, he brought a uniquely poetic feeling to his work.

Review Mahmoud Farshchian / NYU Press:On account of their extraordinary draftsmanship, their wide coloristic range and innate sense of the decorative aspect, the drawings and paintings of Mr. Mahmoud Farshchian are in the true tradition of the great Iranian painters. - Dr. Richard Ettinghausen, Director, The Department of Islamic Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1969- 1979I am always amazed at the beautiful draftsmanship and the skill displayed in the paintings by Farshchian. - Dr. Harold P. Stern, Director, Smithsonian Institute, Freer Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, 1971-1977It is a pleasure to show the imaginative creations of Mr. Farshchian, who surely must be considered among the most talented contemporary artists. - Daniel M. MacMaster, former President, Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, IL The latter-day inheritor of the long and illustrious tradition of classical Persian painting, Mahmoud Farshchian is a recognized master of every element of this medium, from architecture and figure painting to arabesques, ornamental animals, still life, and cloud-bands. [+]In this unprecedented and lavishly produced volume, Farshchian presents his most powerful and influential works. A scholar artist steeped in the classical Persian repertoire, Farshchian first received international recognition with an exhibit at the Art Institute of Istanbul in 1960 and, later that same year, through another one-man exhibit at the Golestan Museum in Teheran. Since then, major exhibitions of his work have been held in Milan, Rome, Munich, Vienna, Algiers, Paris, Washington, DC, New York, Chicago. This unique volume highlights this remarkable career.

Publication date: 1931
Review Modern architecture;: Being the Kahn lectures for 1930, (Princeton monographs in art and archaeology) / Princeton University Press:Modern Architecture is a landmark text-the first book in which America's greatest architect put forth the principles of a fundamentally new, organic architecture that would reject the trappings of historical styles while avoiding the geometric abstraction of the machine aesthetic advocated by contemporary European modernists. One of the most important documents in the development of modern architecture and the career of Frank Lloyd Wright, Modern Architecture is a provocative and profound polemic against America's architectural eclecticism, commercial skyscrapers, and misguided urban planning. The book is also a work of savvy self-promotion, in which Wright not only advanced his own concept of an organic architecture but also framed it as having anticipated by decades-and bettered-what he saw as the reductive modernism of his European counterparts. Based on the 1931 original, for which Wright supplied the cover illustration, this beautiful edition includes a new introduction that puts Modern Architecture in its broader architectural, historical, and intellectual context for the first time. The subjects of these lively lectures-from "Machinery, Materials and Men" to "The Tyranny of the Skyscraper" and "The City"-move from a general statement of the conditions of modern culture to particular applications in the fields of architecture and urbanism at ever broadening scales. Wright's vision in Modern Architecture is ultimately to equate the truly modern with romanticism, imagination, beauty, and nature-all of which he connects with an underlying sense of American democratic freedom and individualism.

Review Computer-Generated Concordance to the Syriac New Testament / Brill Academic Publishers:The publication of this Concordance to the Syriac New Testament (Peshitta) is a landmark in Syriac scholarship. It fills a lacuna in the field which has long been felt by Syriac scholars. George Kiraz's new computer-generated Concordance (in vocalized serto script) is based on the standard British and Foreign Bible Society's edition of 1920, and will at once take its place as an essential reference tool for New Testament and for Syriac studies. Notably, it marks a very successful union of Syriac scholarship with the `Electronic Age', specifically the field of Linguistic Computing, since the author has academic qualifications in both computer engineering and Syriac studies. Finally, it witnesses the very welcome alliance of Syrian Orthodox and Western academic scholarship. It is designed to be of service not only to western scholars and students, but also to clergy and laity of the Syriac churches, for whom the Peshitta is their `Authorized Version. ' FR From the Foreword: `The publication of George Kiraz's Concordance to the Syriac New Testament may be said to constitute a triple landmark in the history of Syriac studies. In the first place, it most satisfactorily provides what has long been felt by Syriac scholars to be an urgent desideratum. Based on the best text available, this concordance will not only take its place at once as an essential tool for both Biblical and Syriac studies, but it will also open up the way to new developments in Syriac scholarship, not feasible hitherto. Secondly, it marks a very successful marriage of Syriac scholarship with the `Electronic Age', specifically the field of Linguistic Computing. [+]George Kiraz has academic qualifications in both computer engineering and Syriac studies. Thirdly, but by no means the least important, it witnesses the very welcome coming together of Syrian Orthodox and Western academic scholarship: it is a notable feature of this concordance that it has been designed so that it will be of service, not only to scholars, but also to the clergy and laity of all the Syriac Churches - Syrian Orthodox, Church of the East, Maronite, Chaldean, Syrian Catholic, Syro-Malabar, Syro-Malankara - for whom the Peshitta constitutes their standard traditional text of the New Testament.
