This book presents watercolor renderings along with a selection of the artifacts in the Index of American Design, a visual archive of decorative, folk, and popular arts made in America from the colonial period to about 1900. Three essays explore the history, operation, and ambitions of the Index of American Design, examine folk art collecting in America during the early decades of the twentieth century, and consider the Index's role in the search for a national cultural identity in the early twentieth-century United States.

Davidson traces the growth of the United States as reflected in drawings and paintings. He begins with 16th century views of the New World and progresses into colonial America, the Revolutionary War, westward expansion, the growth of cities and commerce, and so on up to the modern age. Mostly in black and white -- charcoal, ink and pencil sketches -- but a few watercolors and pastels add splashes of color, the artwork illuminates the historical background. ISBN 0-8109-0807-7 : $50.00.

This fully revised portfolio includes field sketches, drawings of footprints, and four-colour photographs of more than 60 species of North American animals taken in their natural habitats. Rather than a drawing manual, this is a reference geared toward artists of any media interested in drawing animals. The hundreds of detailed sketches and photographs capture the true nature of the species. Flat artists can use this guide as a starting point for larger compositions, while sculptors and woodcarvers can use it to define natural-looking poses for their subjects. This replaces 1565231430.

"This fable lifts a great freight of ideas effortlessly…The story of an expedition driven on by wishes of possession and power but guided internally by myths of America whose sources lie in the late 20th century." —Guardian Following the energy crisis of the late twentieth century, America has been abandoned. Now, a century later, a small group of European explorers returns to the now climatically mutated continent. But America is unrecognizable—the Bering Strait has been dammed and much of the country has become a desert, populated by isolated natives and the bizarre remnants of a disintegrated culture. The expedition sets off from Manhattan on a cross-country journey, through Holiday Inns and abandoned theme parks, to uncover a shocking new power in the heart of Las Vegas.
