The Rise and Fall and Rise of Modern Dan

Dramatic, prize-winning photographs from 1942 to 1982 illuminate small everyday human happenings and make important historical events come alive again. The authors Sheryle & John Leekley interviewed each of the Pulitzer Prize photographers and exhaustively researched the story behind each moment. This book is timeless. What I love the most about it is that it's a great way to understand history as told from the photographers perspective. The foreword was written by the great Dan Rather. A true collectors item indeed!

Design and Aesthetics

This is a beautifully illustrated & detailed look at the life & works of one of the world's most exceptional artists ever. Often considered a rival to Da Vinci for the title of archetypal Renaissance man, Michelangelo was not only a prolific & talented sculptor - by the time he was thirty, he had already sculpted two of his best-known and most famous works, "David" & the "Pieta" - but also a renowned artist & architect. His scenes from Genesis on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel are some of the most influential works in the history of Western art, & his design for the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome revolutionized classical architecture. This wonderfully illustrated volume, packed with information & insights, is fascinating exploration into the life & works of Michelangelo - one of the world's most influential & important artists.
