Review The Painted Tombs of Oaxaca, Mexico: Living with the Dead (Res Monographs in Anthropology and Aesthetics) / Cambridge University Press:The Painted Tombs of Oaxaca, Mexico examines ancestor veneration and the mural paintings produced over a 3000-year period by the Zapotec, one of pre-Columbian America's most visually rich cultures. Providing an art historical and technical analysis of Zapotec mural art in tombs and on temples, Arthur Miller then examines these powerful images from the vantage point of family and lineage rituals related to the cult of the dead. Among his contributions are strikingly new observations on tomb reuse and the repainting of mural programs. More than a definitive record of a fading pre-Columbian visual tradition, this interdisciplinary study of funerary practice cogently demonstrates that the Zapotec tombs were, in effect, made to satisfy the needs of the living. Moreover, it documents the religious and social continuities, as well as changes, between ancient and contemporary Zapotec communities.

Review The Hagia Sophia: From the Age of Justinian to the Present / Cambridge University Press:With its vast scale, immense cost, extraordinary speed of erection, and stunning interior space, the creation of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul between 532-537 is unparalleled in premodern, Western architecture. As such, the achievement begs answers to three important questions: the nature of the theoretical and material resources available to the early designers to achieve this great building; the behaviour over the centuries of its much modified structure under the action of environmental loadings; the ability of the present-day structure to withstand a major earthquake. In this volume, scholars and professionals from different disciplines exchange ideas and new information pertaining to the historical background, physical environment, design, and the state of the Hagia Sophia building structure over time.

Review Arts & Architecture, 1945-54: The Complete Reprint / TASCHEN America Llc:Ten years, ten boxes, 118 issues, 6,076 pages!The seminal architecture journal resurrected in facsimileThe first part (1945-1954) of our facsimile edition of John Entenza's groundbreaking magazine, which launched the Case Study House Program; in ten boxes, each containing one year's worth of magazines"A&A was instrumental in putting American Architecture on the map. ""A legendary West Coast magazine. " Newsweek, New York From the end of World War II until the mid-1960s, exciting things were happening in American architecture: emerging talents were focusing on innovative projects that infused low-cost materials and modern design. This trend was most notably incarnated in the famous Case Study House Program, which was championed by the era's leading American journal, Arts & Architecture. Focusing not only on architecture but also design, art, music, politics, and social issues, A&A was an ambitious and groundbreaking publication, largely thanks to the inspiration of John Entenza, who ran the magazine for over two decades until David Travers became publisher in 1962. The era's greatest architects were featured in A&A, including Neutra, Schindler, Saarinen, Ellwood, Lautner, Eames, and Koenig; and two of today's most wildly successful architects, Frank Gehry and Richard Meier, had their debuts in its pages. A&A was instrumental in putting American architecture and in particular California Modernism on the map. Other key contributors to the magazine include photographers Julius Shulman and Ezra Stoller, writers Esther McCoy and Peter Yates, and cover designers Herbert Matter and Alvin Lustig, among many luminaries of modernism. This collection comes with ten boxes, each containing a complete year s worth of Arts & Architecture magazines from 1945-1954. That s 6,076 pages in 118 issues reproduced in their entirety beginning with Entenza s January 1945 announcement of the Case Study House program. [+]Also included is a supplement booklet with an original essay by former A&A publisher David Travers, translated from the English into German, French, and Spanish; all the covers and contents; and a selected index to articles. Arts & Architecture 1945-54 will be followed in the future by a second volume, 1955-1967, bringing together all the existing issues of the modern era. This new TASCHEN publication, limited to 5000 copies, provides a comprehensive record of mid-century American architecture and brings the legendary Arts & Architecture back to life after forty years.

Review Le Corbusier - Polychromie Architecturale / Princeton Architectural Press:When the Swiss wallpaper company Salubra asked Le Corbusier to design color schemes and patterns for their use-as they did of many famous modern artists-he created two collections: "Claviers de couleurs" in 1931 (43 colors) and the "Salubra Collection" in 1959 (20 colors). Available to the public for the first time, both color collections by Le Corbusier are reproduced in this stunning three-volume set through a high-quality printing process with 13 sample cards, four slide bands and 63 full color plates. Not only is this an unbelievably beautiful book, but also an indispensable tool for all those who wish to tackle color in architecture on both a theoretical and practical basis.

Review The Panarion of Epiphanius of Salamis: Book II and III (Nag Hammadi and Manichaean Studies) (Nag Hammadi and Manichaean Studies) / Brill Academic Publishers:Epiphanius, bishop of Salamis on Cyprus from about 367 until 402, was a witness to and participant in the troubled era after the Council of Nicaea.
