Nylon, the Manmade Fashion Revolution by Susannah Handley
This history of fashion traces the evolution of nylon and other manmade materials, starting in the late 19th century when rayon was invented. The author describes American manufacturers' marketing efforts of the 1940s, explaining how it was not until the mid-1950s, when Christian Dior and other famous designers began to experiment with synthetic fibers, that nylon became a retail success. A survey exploring the creative clothes of several late 20th-century designers--including Rei Kawakubo, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and Helmut Lang--reveals the numerous fashion and function possibilities of synthetic blends.

Symbol & Magic in Egyptian Art by Richard H. Wilk
There is scarcely an Egyptian temple, pyramid, obelisk, wall painting, or sculpture that does not possess some hidden meaning -- meaning that can only be understood by reference to the fundamental symbolic code used by ancient Egyptians. Symbol and Magic in Egyptian Art reveals the language of this ancient code, which endured for thousands of years. Its formulae include the symbolism of shape and size, the significance of location, color symbolism, the magical meaning of numbers, hieroglyphic signs, and the language of the body. This authoritative guide, the first-ever thematic treatment of this aspect of Egyptian art, will appeal to the art lover, traveler, Egyptophile, and anyone fascinated by the mysteries of the ancient symbols.
