Sinossi

Evolution of Public Art charts the fascinating journey of how sculpture moved beyond gallery walls to become a vital component of our public spaces. The book examines the historical, social, and artistic factors driving this evolution, revealing how public art reflects and influences our shared consciousness. It highlights the changing idea of what "public" means, how patronage affects art, and how art engages with social and political issues.

 
Did you know that technological advancements significantly contributed to the creation of large-scale, durable artworks suitable for outdoor display? Or that public art can foster a sense of belonging, making urban environments more vibrant and inclusive?

 
This book argues that public art is more than just decoration; it actively shapes our understanding of place, identity, and community.

 
Beginning with the historical roots of public art, from ancient monuments to modern plazas, Evolution of Public Art progresses through key themes, offering case studies to illustrate its points. It adopts a scholarly yet accessible tone, making complex ideas understandable for a wide audience, including art historians, architects, and anyone interested in art's role in public life. The book also addresses contemporary issues like funding and community involvement.

Fahrenheit-182 - A Memoir

Mark Hoppus, Dan Ozzi

A smart, funny, and refreshingly candid memoir from Mark Hoppus, the vocalist, bassist, and founding member of pop-punk band blink-182. Narrated in his own voice, the audiobook offers an intimate and immersive experience that fans won’t want to miss. 
This is the story of an angst-filled kid from the desert, navigating the chaos of his parents' bitter divorce and searching for his place in the world. Each move across the country was a chance to reinvent himself, switching identities from dork to goth to skate punk, and eventually meeting his best friend who just so happens to be his musical soulmate. 
With sharp humor and raw honesty, Fahrenheit-182 takes readers through Mark's formative years as a latchkey kid in the 1980s, hooked on punk rock, skateboards, and MTV. Along the way, Mark reflects on his lifelong battle with anxiety, his celebrated career with blink-182, and his public fight with cancer, in a voice that’s both relatable and unmistakably his own. 
Threaded with heartfelt grit, Fahrenheit-182 is more than just a memoir for blink-182 fans. It’s a funny, smart, and deeply human story for anyone who’s struggled, reinvented themselves, wanted to quit but kept going.
