|  | The Complete Works by Peter Buchanan
This second volume on Renzo Piano provides an illuminating study of the architect's working method followed by a presentation of his projects from the period 1987 to 1993. In an interview recorded specially for this book, Piano talks about his early career as a designer, his attitudes towards technology and his continuing evolution of what Buchanan has called 'a natural architecture'. Many of the completed buildings featured in this volume are located in and around Piano's home town of Genoa, from the soaring structures associated with the 1992 Expo in the old docks to the ground-hugging form of his own laboratory-workshop in Vesima.

 | American Abstract Art of the 1930s & 1940s by Robert B Knott
After attending Wake Forest University on an athletic scholarship, J. Donald Nichols played professional baseball with the Baltimore Orioles. From there he went into the real estate development business. He has built more than 175 shopping centers throughout the country, and his company, JDN Realty, is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Nichols first began collecting American Impressionist paintings in the 1970s, buying one painting as his personal reward for each shopping center he built. After ten years, he began looking for a new area in which to collect. The J. Donald Nichols Collection is now recognized as perhaps the finest collection of American abstract art of the 1930s and 1940s ever assembled. AUTHOR: Robert B Knott
