Bruce Goff is one of the most provocative architects of the twentieth century - yet his work is not sufficiently known. An early advocate of Frank Lloyd Wright's ideas on architecture, Goff quickly developed a more pluralistic approach in which each building was regarded as unique. Building his reputation on a series of unconventional house designs, Goff came to express an extraordinary range of interests. His scope is shown by a comparison of the stunning crystalline roof of the Religious Center at the University of Oklahoma and the economic use of standard I-beams in the famous "dream house" at Aurora. Goff's theatrical contribution to architecture through his use of color is evidenced by his own paintings and his decorative, architectural ornamentation. By synthesizing his personal development and architectural achievements, this book makes an important contribution to the appraisal of Goff's work.

Here are 100 b&amp;w photos that Current made over many years (and most of which appeared in the 1971 Pueblo Architecture of the Southwest in which the reproduction was somewhat better). Aside from Current's fine composition, these photos are most notable for their intense contrast. Biographical material is entirely new. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Lots of girls play Fairy Princess when they're little. Megan O'Reilly had no idea the real thing was like playing chess, guitar, and hockey all at once. Megan had known for a long time that she wasn't an entirely typical girl. But living with ADHD—and her mother's obsessions—was a very different thing from finding out she wasn't entirely human. Somewhere out there, in a completely different world, her father needs help. There's a conflict, revolving around Faerie seasonal rituals, that could have consequences for humanity—and if Megan's getting the terminology straight, it sounds like her family aren't even supposed to be the good guys. As she's further and further swept up in trying to save her father, Megan may be getting too good at not being human.

Addy's boss has been murdered. She's next. She's been folded into something that supernatural forces want, and it looks like she'll have no choice in the matter. Tab's been through hell to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen—literally. The red-winged Angel of Free Will cares vehemently about individual agency in human destiny. How much he cares about Addy herself may be another thing entirely, but at any rate, she has a better chance with him than with the rest of the Angelic family, Fallen or otherwise. In a run for her life and a race in which the involvement of the Devil himself is considered among the least of their worries, Addy must find enough moments of calm to unfold the Angel's Grace inside her, learn from the visions it provides, and find the keys to Heaven and Hell.

Airs & Graces (Angel's Grace)

Downey, A.J.

Tabbris, the Angel of Free Will, is in Hell. Worse, the keys to the gates of Heaven and Hell have gone with him. Now, the hounds of Hell are close on his heels as he fights a desperate battle to keep the keys out of infernal hands, while trying to reach Earth once again. At least he prevented Adelaide from being dragged down with him. Meannwhile, Adelaide is still possessed by the Angel of Visions, and Iaoel seems to be planning to stay, regardless what Addy wants. Now, she's in search of a rogue angel to try and find a way into the underworld to try and rescue Tabbris... Before all Hell breaks loose.

There But For the Grace (Angel's Grace)

Downey, AJ

The faeries are preparing for a war throughout worlds. But before the fighting comes the talking. May is approaching, but there's no way Megan O'Reilly can focus on plans for graduation and beyond when the ancient monsters called the Fomoire are about to break out of their frozen lake. As the ice melts in the Spring air, a conference of magical beings from around the world is being called. Apparently there are a lot of risks involved in properly equipping this kind of party. There are so many places--Earth, different mystic realms, the collective unconscious, an outright netherworld--to go, people to see, and things to be done. Megan is going to help. No matter how dangerous it gets.

A Fair Fight (Fair Folk Chronicles)

A clockwork raven. Two sets of irresistible teeth. A house brought to life by nanobots. A heart that won’t stop beating. All this and much more in the Writerpunk Press version of the beloved suspense stories by Edgar Allan Poe. We’ve pulled out all the stops this time around to bring you the very best punked versions of classic Poe tales, complete with shiny gears and tiny bots! In addition to the more familiar Cyberpunk and Steampunk, we’ve added Bio, Deco, and Dieselpunk genres to the mix. The resulting volume is a dynamic take on horror of which the Master of Macabre himself would be proud. Profits are to be donated to PAWS Lynnwood, an animal shelter and wildlife rescue located in the Pacific Northwest.
