Approximately 28 pages. 24 pages divided into 5 sections so that physiognomies of 24 Presidents could be 'mixed and matched'. Presidential timeline. Cover has some wear and soiling. Signed by author (Amy Pastan) on title page. This was published in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution, America's foremost authority in history, science, and art. This is a Smithsonian book that lets you mix and match the faces and philosophies of 24 presidents. This interactive volume allows people to gain a new perspective on the American presidency, from George Washington to George W. bush. Starting with twenty-four portraits of America's favorite commanders in chief, each cut into five sections--forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, and chin--the reader can reposition the features to create a wealth of amusing and unique composites. Biographies of the featured leaders, famous quotations reflecting their political views, and a timeline of the American presidents make this a useful reference also. Mathematically, it is possible to make nearly eight million new presidents without ever casting a vote! An independent editor, photo researcher, writer, and book producer, Amy Pastan has been responsible for the publication of hundreds of titles. Before starting her own business in 1998, she held staff positions at the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian Institution Press, where she developed an award-winning list of books in photography and fine arts. In addition to creating and producing works in all genres for print publishers, she is currently writing features for the Web and providing content for film and digital media. Linda McKnight is currently President McKnight Design, LLC 2003 - Present. She has been a photographer (Linda McKnight Photography 2010 - 2014), an Art Director at the School Publishing Division of the National Geographic Society 2000 - 2001, an Art Director at Time Life Books 1999 - 2000, and a Designer for the Smithsonian Institution Press 1986 - 1999.
