Los Angeles photographer Marvin Rand created iconic images of some of the most celebrated architectural creations of his time, photographing buildings by the likes of Modernist masters Craig Ellwood, Louis Kahn, and Frank Lloyd Wright to capture the essence of their work - and, in doing so, played a critical role in shaping the Mid-Century California style now worshiped the world over. The discovery of Rand's archive has brought a treasure trove to life, and California Captured showcases it - and the period - as never before.

Описание: The Drowning of the Moon is a vast panoramic novel whose major characters are drawn from the aristocracy of 18th-century Mexico, an upper class made up almost exclusively of immigrant Spaniards and native-born criollos, the latter direct descendants of the first conquistadores, who legitimately lay claim to pure European blood. While the novel is a work of fiction and all the characters, (excepting historical personages) are entirely fictional as well, it should be understood, at the outset, that everything is solidly grounded in fact. All historical personages and events are treated with scrupulous regard to accuracy -- physical appearance, temperament, political stance and chronology. No one is found where he or she could not have been at that time. As for the differing viewpoints of events, they are based on a sympathetic study of letters, diaries and histories of all the nations involved - The United States, Mexico, Spain, Great Britain and France. Those already familiar with the histories of 18th-Century United States and New Spain will recognize several figures, who play important roles. Among them are Father Miguel Hidalgo, the visionary priest whose daring changed the course of his country's history and Baron Von Humboldt, explorer extraordinaire, who toured the great silver mines of Guanajuato in the autumn of 1804. Antonio de Ria o, Spanish-born Intendent of Guanajuato, who fought on the side of Yankee rebels against the British in Louisiana in 1777 and later took as his wife the renowned New Orleans' beauty and aristocrat, Victoria St. Maxent. And, General James Wilkinson, First Commander in Chief of the American Army, who appears as the hidden hand behind much early American diplomacy. The story of the main protagonist is set against colonial Mexico's little-known, but incomparably rich silver-mining industry, and the lavish life-style of its "silver lords." A family saga, The Drowning of the Moon is written to be equally fascinating to readers already familiar with Mexico's Spanish past and those coming upon it for the first time. Their drama sweeps from Guanajuato's inexhaustible mines to Mexico City and Upper California, from Acapulco and Manila to Santa Fe and south to an immense plantation above New Orleans. It traces the rise of this titled silver nobility to the brutal destruction of its gracious society -- a Gone with the Wind of Mexico. True historical figures mingle with fictional characters as both are involved in the daily tasks of such diverse professions as silver mining, silk raising, Church and convent, the Bourbon Army, Viceregal politics, the arts and the now almost unknown, but incredibly lucrative China Trade. Annually millions in Oriental luxuries and silver coin were carried from Manila to Acapulco and back, aboard the largest armed galleons afloat. By investing in the China Trade many mine owners financed the high cost of sinking their deepest shafts. But endangering this prospering and peaceful realm hang the dark threats of Napoleonic deceit, a land-greedy, expansionist government in Washington, and the venal prime minister of a cuckold Spanish king. The Drowning of the Moon re-creates Mexico's dazzling silver elite, giving readers a wealth of romance and dramatic conflict, that grows directly out of the period in which its story is set to present a true and even-handed view of their vanished world.

Although no less an authority than Joseph A. Schumpeter proclaimed that Antonio Serra was the world's first economist, he remains something of a dark horse of economic historiography. Nearly nothing is known about Serra except that he wrote and died in jail, and his 'Short Treatise' is so rare that only nine original copies are known to have survived the ravages of time. What, then, can a book written nearly four centuries ago tell us about the problems we now face? Serra's key insight, studying the economies of Venice and Naples, was that wealth was not the result of climate or providence but of policies to develop economic activities subject to increasing returns to scale and a large division of labour. Through a very systematic taxonomy of economic life, Serra then went on from this insight to theorize the causes of the wealth of nations and the measures through which a weak, dependent economy could achieve worldly melioration.
At a time when leading economists return to biological explanations for the failure of their theories, the 'Short Treatise' can remind us that there are elements of history which numbers and graphs cannot convey or encompass, and that there are less despondent lessons to be learned from our past. Serra's remarkable tract is introduced by a lengthy and illuminating study of his historical context and legacy for the theoretical and cultural history of economics.

Описание: The Master of Modern Discoveries from the Julius Shulman vaults The buildings burned in our memories, which to us represent the spirit of 50s and 60s architectural design, were those whose pictures were widely published in magazines and books; but what about those that got lost in the process, hardly or never appearing in publication? The exchange of visual information is crucial to the development, evolution, and promotion of architectural movements. If a building is not widely seen, its photograph rarely or never published, it simply does not enter into architectural discourse. Many buildings photographed by Julius Shulman suffered this fate, their images falling into oblivion. With this book, TASCHEN brings them to light, paying homage to California Modernism in all its forms. The abandoned files of Julius Shulman show us another side of Modernism that has stayed quiet for so many years. Bringing together nearly 300 forgotten masterpieces, Modernism Rediscovered pays tribute to these lesser known yet outstanding contributions to the modern architectural movement. It s like sneaking into a private history, into homes that have rarely been seen and hardly appreciated as of yet.About the series: Bibliotheca Universalis Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe at an unbeatable, democratic price!Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, the name TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible, open-minded publishing.
