 | Wallbangin' by Susan A. Phillips
Graffiti is as ubiquitous as telephone poles in America's cities; it is as old as the earliest civilizations. The most public medium in the country today, graffiti can signal territory, love, or liberation. Ironically, graffiti is understood by only a fraction of those who encounter it. Usually read as a sign of urban decay and as a loss of control over the physical environment, graffiti has become one of the most potent cultural languages of our age. Wallbangin' is an unprecedented, in-depth look at this phenomenon as it is embodied in the neighborhoods of one of its epicenters, Los Angeles. AUTHOR: Susan A. Phillips

 | City Icons by Beth Dunlop
Antonio Gaudi's Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia, the Grand Central Terminal by Whitney Warren and Charles Wetmore and the Sydney Opera House by Jorn Utzon are all instantly recognizable buildings and symbols of national and metropolitan pride. They are, however, much more than just civic monuments -- they have set new standards, breaking with all precedent in their unique three-dimensional forms. Each building is an enduring source of inspiration for students and fellow architects, and bears witness to the free-ranging imagination and genius of its architect. Together, they provide valuable insights into the role of civic architecture. AUTHOR: Beth Dunlop

 | Emma by Adela Pinch, C. E. Brock, Carroll Moulton, H. M. Daleski, James Kinsley
First published in 1816, EMMA is about an unconventional heroine who possesses beauty, power, confidence, and wealth. She is also opinionated and judgmental, scheming and cunning. She attempts to match an orphaned young woman, Harriet Smith, with someone of a higher-born class, instead of the farmer Harriet prefers. The novel follows the two women as they weave in and out of love relationships that mirror the social climb. Denied any other way to advance, the women in Austen's novels must marry to get ahead. AUTHOR: Adela Pinch, C. E. Brock, Carroll Moulton, H. M. Daleski, James Kinsley
