 | A Weekend with Renoir by Rosabianca S. Venturi
I have put on my little round hat (which I wear quite often, in fact), combed my white beard and put on my best navy-blue suit. I am wearing my favorite necktie, too. Surely, you can see at once that I am a painter. I am so pleased that you have come to spend the weekend with me, to hear me talk about myself and my friends--they are painters also. What I am about to tell you is my own true story--the story of my life and my work. You will have to step back with me into the past--before you were born, yes, but not so very long ago. Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Pierre-Auguste Renoir. AUTHOR: Rosabianca S. Venturi

 | Form Follows Finance by Carol Willis
Seldom does a title summarize so tersely and completely the contents of a book as does that of Carol Willis's brisk, lucid investigation into the forces that shaped the prodigious tall buildings of America's two major turn-of-the-century metropolises.... Never before have the economic specifics of vertical construction been laid out as tellingly as Ms. Willis does here, making this a reference book that future historians will find indispensable . -- Martin Filler, New York Times Book Review Zoning ordinances and commercial real-estate values might appear to be odd sources for architectural history, but Ms. Willis writes convincingly that they shaped skyscrapers more than architectural trends . -- Thomas Sullivan, Washington Times A fascinating document for banker, developer, and architect alike . -- Matthew Barnett Howland, World Architecture AUTHOR: Carol Willis
