Synopsis

Public Artworks explores the powerful role of sculpture in redefining urban landscapes and shaping cultural identity. It investigates how monumental sculptures in public spaces contribute to our understanding of place, while also examining the historical evolution of public art from symbols of power to contemporary works that encourage dialogue. These artworks often serve as more than mere decoration; they actively participate in the cultural development of communities. The book uniquely integrates art history with urban planning and community engagement strategies. Through visual analysis, historical research, and sociological studies, Public Artworks guides readers through the definition of public art, its historical context, and case studies of specific works across diverse geographic locations. By exploring the interplay between art, architecture, and society, the book encourages a more thoughtful approach to commissioning and interpreting public artworks. Progressing logically across chapters, the book delves into ethical considerations, community engagement, and responsible stewardship. It offers an innovative perspective, valuable for art enthusiasts, architecture students, urban planners, and community leaders, on how art can transform urban spaces and shape cultural narratives.

Baskerville - The Biography of a...

Simon Garfield

A compact and charming history of the classic Enlightenment font by the New York Times bestselling author of Just My Type. 
 
 
 
When Baskerville was first created in 1757, there was concern that it would damage readers' eyes with its combination of thin and thick strokes and tapering serifs. Yet 250 years later, it remains one of the most commonly used typefaces in books of all kinds. As bestselling author Simon Garfield tells it, the tale of this elegant typeface is one of painstaking dedication. The font's creator, John Baskerville, was a maverick lacquer maker and master printer who made it his life's mission to achieve the font's perfection. His efforts culminated in his magnificent Bible, acclaimed as the finest ever made. Garfield explores why Baskerville's own body was dug up and buried many times before finally being allowed to rest in peace, and examines his legacy through the work of his wife, Sarah Baskerville—one of the first powerful women in the printing world—and the archivists and enthusiasts working to preserve the font's original steel punches today.

Mike Ayers, Jim James

An ironically upbeat book that asks some of today's most inimitable musicians which song they would choose to be the last one they ever hear 
 
 
  
If you could choose the last song you'd hear before you died, what would it be and why? Your favorite song of all time? Perhaps the one you danced to at your wedding? The song from that time you got super stoned and just let the chords speak to you? It's a hard question that Mike Ayers has thought about for years. 
 
 
  
In One Last Song, Ayers invites thirty musicians to consider what song they would each want to accompany them to those pearly white gates. Weaving together their explanations with evocative illustrations and poignant interludes—what your song to die to says about you, what songs famous people have died to, and more. The book offers insight into the minds of famous artists and provides an entry point for considering how integral music is to our own personal narratives.
