This classic book offers a brief guide to Persian embroideries; and with many photographic examples would make a great addition to anyones bookshelf with an interest in the subject. Many of the earliest books; particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before; are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable; high quality; modern editions; using the original text and artwork.

Review
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. FascinatingBy BenBaroque science is a baroque style text: both in its purity and in its complexity. The way its authors Raz Chen-Morris and Ofer Gal display the seventeenth century paradigms creates an exciting story of inspiration; innovation and scientific courage. "Truth" gets a complex appearance; its validity becomes interdisciplinary; richer and vibrant. The ways science establishes itself illuminates human epistemology and creates a live picture of an era that transformed our culture; enlarged our cosmos and opened our eyes. Baroque Culture is a beautiful text; full of knowledge and data; clear and friendly and extremely fascinating.
