Of all the artists who have called Santa Fe home, Gustave Baumann is among the most beloved. For nearly five decades beginning in 1918, the renowned printmaker cultivated friendships with other art colonists that were full of the colorful, artistic, humorous, small town flavor brought to life in this delightful collection of holiday cards the artists made for each other and their families.B.J.O. Nordfeldt, Ernest Blumenschein, Will Shuster, Doel Reed, Willard Nash, and John Sloan, and many more, join Baumann in the Christmas and New Year greeting cards assembled here that range from satirical and whimsical to humorous and hopeful, with commentary about the current state of the world or the artist’s place in the world. Woodcuts, photo-engraving, lithography, etching―the hand-drawn, hand-printed and hand-colored cards show off the personalities of the artists and how the events of the world around them touched their lives in personal, often bemused ways.The cards will be part of an exhibition at the New Mexico Museum of History (opens November 2014) curated by Jean Moss and Palace of the Governors Press director and printmaker Thomas Leech.

This history of the bridges of Pittsburgh by Leech and Kaplan is a truly distinctive and valuable coverage of this topic. It explains when and where bridges were built, who built them, how they work, what else was happening in Pittsburgh at the time they were built, and how these bridges helped to transform Pittsburgh and the region. The book is well-written, loaded with many interesting facts and historical accounts and extremely accessible to the general reader. Leech and Kaplan dedicate this book to lovers of bridges, lovers of the history of technology, and lovers of Pittsburgh. These groups, and many others, will indeed enjoy reading this labor of love.

This collection of essays has been gathered in celebration of the 2013, 30th anniversary of the International Bridge Conference®. The spirit of the International Bridge Conference is captured in the words of the many contributors to this book. In this small book, notable bridge engineers and bridge architects from the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Canada, Japan, Peoples Republic of China and the US have offered personal reflections of singular or multiple events which have occurred during their careers in bridge construction and design during the 20th and 21st centuries. The reader is invited to relive some of these experiences and with the authors celebrate the achievements of these contributors and the bridge engineering community at large. The Engineers Society of Western Pennsylvania was founded in 1880 and is the third oldest engineering society in the United States, predated only by the Boston Society of Civil Engineers and the American Society of Civil Engineers. Earliest members included Andrew Carnegie and bridge engineer Gustav Lindenthal. Since its founding, the Engineers Society of Western Pennsylvania has continued its tradition of pursuing an educational and scientific mandate; this book has been authored in response to that mandate. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of this book will be donated to the Engineers Society of Western Pennsylvania, Scholarship Fund.
