Frampton - the Bible for the History of Modern Architecture
This is the Bible for the History of Modern Architecture. I lived with this book in graduate school during the '80's, and is still relevant, important and has been up-dated to address the last 30 years of Architectural ideology and design. A must have for students ...

The Photograph as Contemporary Art (World of Art)

Charlotte Cotton

Thames & Hudson, 2009

I love this book so much that I bought this second edition for my student
This is a great survey of the themes that have emerged in contemporary photography. Very easy to read and understand, but by no means a superficial survey. An excellent text for beginning traditional or digital photography students.

Mexico: From the Olmecs to the Aztecs, Sixth Edition

Michael D. Coe, Rex Koontz

Thames & Hudson, 2008

Mexico: a civilization that predates Israel & Western Europe
This book makes it clear that the bulk of Mexican history (and Central America) has NOTHING at all to do with Europeans or anything "Latin American." In fact, only 5 centuries of Mexico's archeological history has any European trace, vs. 28,000 years of indigenous ...

Chanel: Collections and Creations

Daniele Bott

Thames & Hudson, 2007

A Glorious Chanel Chocolate Box
Chanel: Collections and Creations is an utter delight from cover to cover. The book itself is beautifully presented, printed on heavy stock and bound tightly. Unlike some other "coffee table books" I've bought, it feels like it was made to last. This book is a real ...

The Art of Mesoamerica (World of Art)

Mary Ellen Miller

Thames & Hudson, 2006

An Excellent Survey of Mesoamerican Art and Culture
Note: You're "helpful" votes are appreciated. One Mormon reader likes to automatically give my reviews negative votes because of my negative reviews of books on the Book of Mormon. Oh, well, and Thanks. Miller's book is a must for anyone interested in the cultures ...

The Maya, Seventh Edition (Ancient Peoples and Places)

Michael D. Coe

Thames & Hudson, 2005

Informative Book on Maya History and Culture
This book contains a lot of information, but it is written in a way that should be accessible to most. Coe, as the author and someone who has contributed so much to knowledge of the subject himself, adds a personal touch to it. He always attempts to present multiple ...

student review
This book was recommended for the senior-level art history course at the art academy I currently attend. Clear, erudite reading, followed by colorful reproductions and chronological tabs. The visual breakdowns are though-provoking, often raising more than one opinion ...
