In entirely new photographs taken especially for this book by two leading architectural photographers under the direction of co-editor David Larkin, such internationally famous buildings as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Fallingwater and Wright's homes Taliesin, Taliesin West, and the Oak Park Home and Studio are seen afresh, benefiting from the photographers' special access. Several lesser-known residences, such as Auldbrass Plantation in South Carolina, an array of wooden buildings that is Wright's American alternative to antebellum architecture, the William H. Winslow house in River Forest, Illinois, one of the architect's earliest and most surprisingly decorative houses, and the Kenneth Laurent house in Rockford, Illinois, a masterful curvilinear design, are seen in full color and demonstrate dimensions of Wright's work less often seen before. Public buildings, such as the dramatic concrete, glass, and steel Marin County Civic Center and Beth Sholom Synagogue show Wright as engineering virtuoso as well as creative architect. In addition to these existing masterworks, only the most famous of which are open to the public, the book covers buildings that have been demolished, notably the Larkin Company Administration Building, Midway Gardens, and the Imperial Hotel, which are represented here by drawings and rich archival photographs. Each of the buildings is presented from conceptual sketch, plan, or drawing to finished masterwork, and each is accompanied by an in-depth essay detailing the development of the work. Extensive quotes from Wright's writings, unpublished talks, and private letters to the clients give valuable insight into the architect's own thinking about each commission. Never before has Wright's architecture been presented so elaborately in one volume. / Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer was an apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright and is currently a trustee and Director of the Archives for the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in Scottsdale, Arizona. He is the author of Frank Lloyd Wright Drawings and Treasures of Taliesin and editor of the highly praised series The Collected Writings of Frank Lloyd Wright. David Larkin is the co-author and designer of such celebrated illustrated books as Classic America and Shaker and publisher of Barn and Wooden Ship. Paul Rocheleau and Michael Freeman have contributed the new photography included in this book." - Publisher. Size: 4to.…

Excavations at many important sites have enabled scholars to recover the most important ancient civilizations of mankind. 'While these have importance in their own right, public interest in this area and its history has always been especially strong because of its close association with the Bible. Much of the new material, however, remains inaccessible to the general reader. But between the extremes of the scholar's scholar trapped in his own specialized language, and the professional popularizer who cannot control his sources of information or distinguish fantasy from fact, there is happily an occasional writer whose work is both scholarly and readable. The journal The Biblical Archaeologist has been successful in discovering such scholar~authors, and some of the most important of their work has been brought together in this volume. The articles selected center in the relationship between biblical and pagan religion in the ancient world. Articles like those on Manna and The Musical Instruments of Israel, on the Flood and on Sodom and Gomorrah, bear closely on the Bible; others, like those on the pagan religions and on the techniques of carbon dating, are indirectly related thereto. All of them are at once authoritative and very readable. There are sixteen pages of illustrations . Contributors = W. F. Albright, The Johns Hopkins University~ F. S.
