This visually stunning; conceptually rich and imaginative book investigates the cultural connection between new media and architectural imaging. Through a range of material; from theoretical texts to experimental design projects; Tierney explores notions of what the architectural image means today. Within the books visually imaginative design framework; Abstract Space engages discourses from architecture; visual and cultural studies to computer science and communications technology to present an in-depth multi-media case study. Tracing a provisional history of the topic; the book also lends a provocative and multivalent understanding to the complex relations affecting the architectural image today.

Human Anatomy Not for This ArtistBy Artist II purchased this book hoping to find a compendium of technical anatomical images for reference. I did not. There were very few images and the editor apparently did not catch all spelling errors. I would not recommend purchase of this book as a drawing reference.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A powerful resource for artists and health libraries alikeBy Midwest Book ReviewAnatomy for Artists could also have appeared in our Arts or Crafts section but is featured here because health libraries also should consider it. This reprints the 1849 classic on anatomy; re-creating a basic art guide to anatomy originally compiled for artists. It also adds a CD-ROM that includes every illustration from the book in a powerful resource for artists and health libraries alike.
