One of the world's finest collections of Chinese art is housed in Toronto at the Royal Ontario Museum. For the first time, many of its most important and spectacular treasures are published in full colour with accompanying text.
From a prehistoric jade bird 5000 years old to nineteenth-century scrolls, nearly 300 objects are illustrated in 140 large, full-colour photographs specially taken for this volume.
The selection of objects and the accompanying text have been prepared by curatorial staff of the Museum's Far Eastern Department. There is a general introduction to the collection. Thereafter, each section has an introduction discussing the medium concerned, and each illustration has its own extensive description.
Full notes and catalogue entries, with a detailed bibliography, make this a valuable book for scholars and serious collectors as well as a joy to the eye for anyone who delights in the arts of China's past.

How does a country dress itself? From Montreal's 'Retail Mile,' to Ontario's millinery trade, to how war and television can effect the garment industry or whether tailoring can make a cultural impact, Alexandra Palmer gathers together some of the top curators, designers, fashion writers, historians, and artists in the country to create a truly dynamic and thought-provoking collection of essays.
Controversial and unconventional, Fashion: A Canadian Perspective challenges readers to consider aspects of Canadian identity in terms of what its citizenship has chosen to wear for the last three centuries, and the internal and external influences of those socio-cultural decisions. Covering a broad range of topics — such as the iconic Hudson Bay Blanket Coats, garment factories of the late 1800s, specific Canadian fashion couturiers whose influences reach international stages, and the contemporary role of fashion journalists and their effect on trends — this collection breaks new ground in producing multiple perspectives on fashion and fashion dress.
In a country that has given birth to such global fashion corporations as Club Monaco, Roots, and MAC, Fashion: A Canadian Perspective develops the first intriguing and readable historiography that links past to future, couture vision to trade trends, and heritage costuming to FashionTelevision.

Kathleen Kenyon died in 1978 without having published final reports on her excavations in Jerusalem. These are being now published in five volumes. This volume concentrates on finds outside the walls of the Iron Age city, and particularly on the enigmatic, pottery-rich depositis in Caves I and II to the south east of the city. Eshel's analysis of the pottery leads him to suggest a 7th-century BC date. Although fragmentary figurines and other cult' objects were found, the general character of the pottery is utilitarian and Eshel suggests that the caves probably were either merchant or adminisatration store-rooms.
