Book excerpt: Houses and schools, Ferris wheels and carousels, stores and factories, temples and theatres, gas stations and bridges, banks and garages, an ice rink and a bowling alley, Grant's Tomb and the Chicago Water Tower, the early structures of Queens NY, and churches in beautiful great number - the buildings of real or envisioned communities were rendered by largely anonymous persons from the late 19th century until about 1950. A remarkably unexplored area of our material culture, American folk art buildings reveal much about history, architecture, imagination, and clever craftsmanship. Hundreds of examples from the nation's largest collection show a remarkably rich range of structures. A first-ever explication of this American artifact conveys reasons, provenance, actual building referents, and apparent delight over decades of making even small a place of one's own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the natural folk art tendencies of children, who love to collect buttons, bottle caps, shells, and Popsicle sticks to create beautiful, imperfect art, this activity guide teaches kids about the history of this organic art and offers inspiration for them to create their own masterpieces. The full breadth of American folk art is surveyed, including painting, sculpture, decorative arts, and textiles from the 17th century through today. Making bubblegum wrapper chains, rag dolls, bottle cap sculptures, decoupage boxes, and folk paintings are just a few of the activities designed to bring out the artist in every child. Along the way kids learn about the lives of Americans throughout history and their casual relationships to everyday art as they cut stencils, sew needlepoint samplers, draw calligraphy birds, and design quilts. Important folk artists such as the last surviving Shakers, the legendary Grandma Moses, and the Reverend Howard Finster are also explored in sidebars throughout the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Written by a recognized authority in the field and illustrated with many specially commissioned full-color photographs, the book proudly present the spirit of the American nation as it has been expressed by generations of American craftspeople. The nation's symbols--the eagle, the flag, Uncle Sam, Liberty--and its ideals--freedom, home, religion--have been worked and reworked in many dramatic forms for more than two hundred years. Each artist has imbued his work with his generation's understanding of what the country stands for. The variety of forms of patriotic folk art is matched only by the variety of the artists. Painting and sculpture, carved weathervanes and whirligigs, ceramics, quilts and rugs, toys, painted furniture, shop signs, and religious symbols have been created by men and women of all ages and social levels, some working to earn a living, some working only for the joy of creating. Each chapter covers one symbol or ideal and shows how it has been reproduced in various forms that range from home-spun simplicity to ingenious sophistication, evoking the individuality, self-confidence, and optimism that are central to the American experience."--book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the arid deserts of Tucson, Arizona to the icy forests of Poori, Finland to the tropical beaches of New South Wales, Australia to the urban jungle of downtown Manhattan, critics Alanna Stang and Christopher Hawthorne have travelled to the farthest reaches of the globe to find all that is new in the design of sustainable, or "green" homes. The result is more than thirty-five residences in fifteen countries, and nearly every conceivable natural environment, designed by a combination of star architects and heretofore unknown practitioners including Santiago Calatrava, Shigeru Ban, Miller/Hull, Rick Joy, Lake Flato, Kengo Kuma, Glenn Murcutt, Pugh & Scarpa, Werner Sobek, and many others. Projects are presented with large colour images, plans, drawings, and an accompanying text that describes their green features and explains how they work with and in the environment. The Green House is not only a beautiful object in its own right, but is sure to be an indispensable reference for anyone building or interested in sustainable design.
