Shulman Modernism
A fittingly huge tribute to the man who captured Modernism in western America and especially in California. I thought the beauty of these three large books (check out the weight and dimensions in the Product Details section) was the way they are organized: ...

Mark Twain
University of California Press

Delightful bit of Fun from Mark Twain!

By the end of the 15th century, the remains of the ancient gods littered the landscape of Western Europe.
