The inspiring story of law through the ages is told in this beautiful volume through the media of painting, photography, fiction, essay, poetry, and much more. Brough together for the first time in a lavishly illustrated, large-format book are excerpts from great writings in law, such as Justinian's the Digest of Roman Law, Cicero's Laws, and Paine's Common Sense. The 198 illustrations, 113 of which are exquisitely reproduced in full color, draw upon enduring works of art related to the law, including Rembrandt's Moses and the Tables of the Law, Trumbull's The Signing of the Declaration of Independence, and Shan's The Passion of Sacco and Vanzetti.

There are 304 pages of photos.The Art Quilt is a glorious gallery of the best of this fascinating new art form and the first comprehensive overview of the ambitions and achievements of quilt artists in America, Europe, and beyond. The book's lively text traces the evolution of the quilt from bedcover to museum piece, the quiltmaker from homemaker to academically trained artist, and the workshop from kitchen to studio. The art quilt continues to reinvent itself as the quilters, many of whom are profiled here along with discussions of their signature techniques, search for innovative methods of construction, use of non-traditional materials, and personally meaningful subject matter. Many of the artists speak about their work in their own words, and the quilts themselves in turn speak about the artists.

With an engaging text by renowned Michelangelo scholar William E. Wallace, Michelangelo: The Complete Sculpture, Painting, Architecture brings together in one exquisite volume the powerful sculptures, the awe-inspiring paintings, and the classical architectural works of one of the greatest artists of all time. Including everything from his sculptures Pietàs and David to his beautiful paintings of the Sistine Chapel and the Doni Tondo, the book provides an opportunity to view Michelangelo’s work as never before, and to more fully understand the artist who, through his work, spoke of his life and times. The frescoes are specially printed on onion skin paper to recreate the actual appearance of light reflecting off of the plaster walls. The stunning black-and-white photography of the sculptures is printed in four colors to bring out the rich details of the marble.
