A Little History of the World (Illustrated Edition)
E. H. Gombrich's Little History of the World, though written in 1935, has become one of the treasures of historical writing since its first publication in English in 2005.
Gombrich was of course the best-known art historian of his time, and his text suggests illustrations on every page. This illustrated edition of the Little History brings together the pellucid humanity of his narrative with the images that may well have been in his mind's eye as he wrote the book. The two hundred illustrations are not simple embellishments, though they are beautiful. They emerge from the text, enrich the author's intention, and deepen the pleasure of reading this remarkable work.
Creative Bead Jewelry: Weaving, Looming, Stringing, Wiring, Making Beads
“One of the more...stylish beading books to appear recently. ...Taylor covers barebones information and guidance initially, then...builds up the reader’s knowledge and confidence by introducing progressively more difficult tasks, methods, and designs. Included are color photographs of results, black-and-white illustrations of techniques, and materials lists.” —Booklist.
