|  | Frank Lloyd Wright Master Builder by Bruce B. Pfeiffer
This book presents twenty-five of the most renowned and significant buildings of America`s premier architect, from his early Prairie work in Oak Park, Illinois, in the 1890s to his daring creations of the 1940s and 1950s. Published in association with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, this superbly illustrated volume features previously unpublished photographs for which renowned architectural photographers Michael Freeman and Paul Rocheleau gained unprecedented access to some of Wright`s masterworks. The book examines in unsurpassed detail a selection of Wright`s architecture that covers the phenomenal range of his work, including such internationally famous buildings as the Home and Studio in Oak Park, Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona, Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pennsylvania, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, as well as several lesser-known residences such as the Auldbrass Plantation in South Carolina and the Kenneth Laurent house in Rockford, Illinois. The works featured here are succinctly documented by one of Wright`s former apprentices, with text that details the development and execution of each commission. Also included throughout is a selection of Wright`s extensive writings, unpublished talks, and private letters. AUTHOR: Bruce B. Pfeiffer

 | The Matrix of Faith by Jeffrey C. Pugh
THE MATRIX OF FAITH begins by asking whether Christianity has a future. To illustrate the problem, Pugh calls to mind the hit movie The Matrix...which he believes exemplifies the postmodern situation in which we find ourselves. To answer the question, he turns to the insights of past theologians, including Augustine, Aquinas, Anselm, Luther, Schleiermacher, Bonhoeffer, and Barth. Pugh argues that the way ahead for faith does not rest in unthinking belief of doctrine or dogma, but in traditions of creativity, cultural engagement, and a living spirit of faith in Christ.
