Wine by Design (Interior Angles)
There is a revolution currently underway in the world of wine. Established and new vintners are discovering the dual marketing advantage of coupling exquisite, name-brand designer architecture with the winery tour. Internationally renowned architects, such as Frank Gehry, Herzog & de Meuron, and Santiago Calatrava, have all designed wineries that focus on the experience of wine production for the visitor while providing brand recognition in the form of architecture. Celebrating the new alignment that the wine industry is making with design, Wine by Design highlights the most exciting new designs for wineries and spaces of wine from throughout the world including Australia, Chile, USA, Canada and the established vineyards of Europe. It also emphasises the way design is making headway into wine retail and wine bars, as well as the trend for conspicuously displayed spaces for the storage and consumption of wine..

Web Application Design Handbook: Best Practices for Web-Based Software (Interactive Technologies)
The standards for usability and interaction design for web site design and those also for software interaction design are well known. While not everyone uses those standards, or uses them correctly, there is a large body of knowledge, best practice, and proven results in those two large fields, and a good education system for teaching professionals "how to." For the relatively new field of web application design, however, what we mostly have are designers reusing the old rules in a new platform: no new best practices yet exist. This book, written by designers with a significant contribution to web-based application design, deliver both a thorough treatment of the subject for many different kinds of applications, plus a quick reference for designers looking for some fast design solutions and opportunities to enhance the web application experience..

Portraits of the Ptolemies: Greek Kings as Egyptian Pharaohs
"This study of Ptolemaic royal statuary will be an outstanding resource for scholars and of considerable interest to the general reader. As an Egyptological reference and as a model for the application of the methodology of art historical analysis, it should stand unchallenged for many years.... a work of encyclopedic breadth and impeccable scholarship." —Jack A. Josephson, author of Egyptian Royal Sculpture of the Late Period, 400-246 B.C.
As archaeologists recover the lost treasures of Alexandria, the modern world is marveling at the latter-day glory of ancient Egypt and the Greeks who ruled it from the ascension of Ptolemy I in 306 B.C. to the death of Cleopatra the Great in 30 B.C. The abundance and magnificence of royal sculptures from this period testify to the power of the Ptolemaic dynasty and its influence on Egyptian artistic traditions that even then were more than two thousand years old. In this book, Paul Edmund Stanwick undertakes the first complete study of Egyptian-style portraits of the Ptolemies. Examining one hundred and fifty sculptures from the vantage points of literary evidence, archaeology, history, religion, and stylistic development, he fully explores how they meld Egyptian and Greek cultural traditions and evoke surrounding social developments and political events. To do this, he develops a "visual vocabulary" for reading royal portraiture and discusses how the portraits helped legitimate the Ptolemies and advance their ideology. Stanwick also sheds new light on the chronology of the sculptures, giving dates to many previously undated ones and showing that others belong outside the Ptolemaic period. .

Moon Dogs
Nick has just completed his drowning-simulation treatment at the spa, and the near-death experience should give him a sense of inner peace ... but it isn't working. Instead of sitting alone in the woods by a small fire set by the clinic assistants, Nick moodily wanders off in the dark ... in search of nothing ... expecting nothing. The beautiful woman he spies bathing in a moonlit stream is more of a mystery than his own dark reverie, and Nick is compelled to brave the dangers of her mechanical canine companions to uncover the secrets of her past. Locus Poll Award Nominee, Hugo Award Nominee, HOMer Award Nominee, Asimov's Reader's Choice Award Nominee.
