Arata Isozaki by Arata Isozaki and Ken Tadashi Oshima (Hardcover - Oct 1, 2008)
Arata Isozaki (b. 1931) is one of the most influential architects practicing today. His work blends an Eastern architectural style with emerging global trends, and his theories have been important in bringing Western architecture to Japan. This book presents the most comprehensive selection available of his built and unfinished projects from the beginning of his career to the present day, and is extensively illustrated with drawings, silkscreens, sketches, and models from the Isozaki Office Archive. Each chapter features introductory essays by Ken Tadashi Oshima and theoretical texts by Isozaki, most of them published here for the first time.

From Egypt to Babylon: The International Age 1550-500 BC by Paul Collins (Hardcover - Oct 15, 2008)

For those who believe that globalization is a purely modern phenomenon, this book holds a startling and absorbing lesson. From Egypt to Babylon immerses readers in a world of exotic empires and states as they waxed and waned and interacted in a period of extraordinary internationalism—all before the rise of the Persian Empire.
The ancient Egyptians, Minoans, Mycenaeans, Hittites, Canaanites, Hurrians, Aramaeans, Israelites, Urartians, Mannaeans, Assyrians, Phrygians, Kassites, Chaldaeans, Elamites, Scythians, Medes, and Persians: these are the societies who for a millennia peopled the world from the Aegean and Egypt in the west to what we know now as Iraq and Iran in the east. In a concise introduction, illustrated with objects drawn largely from the collections of the British Museum, this book takes the reader through the vast and varied landscape of this period, where a far-flung world was linked by military expansion, diplomatic relations, and movement of goods and peoples that brought about profound cultural exchanges and technological and social revolutions. The story brings the reader from the foundations of the Egyptian empire through the turmoil at the end of the second millennium bce to the unprecedented political unification of the whole region by kings of Persia.
From Egypt to Babylon weaves together the political histories of the region’s diverse societies for the first time, tracing shifting fortunes and burgeoning colonies, trading connections and cultural pressures in what was truly the world’s first international age.

India: In Word and Image by Bharati Mukherjee and Eric Meola (Hardcover - Oct 14, 2008)
Product Description
India is rapidly becoming one of the pre-eminent leaders of the twenty-first century. For more than a decade, Eric Meola has returned repeatedly to India, photographing the people, temples, landscapes, architecture, celebrations, and art of this uniquely exuberant and incredibly diverse country. Meola's journeys took him from the Himalayas and monasteries in the North to the temples of Tamil Nadu in the South, from the color and pageantry of Rajasthan in the West to the tea plantations of Darjeeling in the East. Over 200 photographs (edited from more than 25,000 images) will fill this beautifully printed, large-format book. The photographs will be accompanied by dozens of essays, stories, and poems by contemporary and classical Indian writers.

Advanced Painter Techniques by Don Seegmiller (Paperback - Sep 2, 2008)
Traditional art instruction books often start with a blank canvas and, through a series of images, show how to construct a painting or drawing. Advanced Painter Techniques takes a similar approach, but with a somewhat backward twist.
Each chapter starts with a compelling, detailed digital painting. Painter Master and expert Don Seegmiller then deconstructs individual sections showing how he created and painted the effect or object. The focus is not on how to duplicate or imitate the original image, but on the method, reasons, technique, and thinking that goes into such an image, and how that can be adapted to individual artistic needs.
This process, by necessity, involves featuring Painter’s tools and how to use them, but a lot of time is devoted to why something is done and how it may be adapted for personal use. Painter users of all stripes will be drawn to Seegmiller’s insight -- from web, film, and video game artists to traditional print artists, furniture designers, and those in medical visualization. Photoshop, 2D and 3D artists alike rely on the power of Painter to create textures and material maps for their models, and will find the advanced knowledge in this book a key component they have been missing.
