Description:
Architectural Press, 2000 4to (30.5 cm), VIII, 232 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. This volume presents a debate among some of the most famous architectural theorists, with modernism as the central theme--the most pressing issue of the 20th century. The book is a compilation of two Architectural Press titles. In the first, Pevsner and Richards argue that the austere rationality of the modern movement is ultimately losing ground. In contrast, Dennis Sharp examines the evidence to support the counter-argument.

Papers from the 1986 Summer Seminar, Empire, Province, and Village in Aztec History. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the economic and political geography of the Aztec empire. It is the fruit of a joint research project among ethnohistorians, archaeologists, and art historians. The authors researched every town in the Aztec empire, recording a set of standard information for each. They drew a new map of the empire by first plotting local towns and city-states and then grouping these by province. This map, the first complete map of Aztec territory since Robert Barlow's 1949 study, reveals new principles of provincial organization.

Description:
Cambridge University Press, 1998 4to (25.5 cm), xxix, 506 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (blank leaves at the back somewhat creased, canceled stamp of an institutional library on the title). From the blurb: "The societies of the European Bronze Age produced elaborate artifacts and were drawn into a wide trade network extending over the whole of Europe, even though they were economically and politically undiversified. Kristian Kristansen attempts to explain this paradox using a world-systems analysis, and in particular tries to account for the absence of state formation. He presents his case with a powerful marshalling of the evidence across the whole of Europe and over two millennia. The result is the most coherent overview of this period of European prehistory since the writings of Gordon Childe and Christopher Hawkes. A great strength of this book is the broad European perspective, which allows the author to address some of the larger questions that have been raised in the study of…

Yale University Press, 1997 4to (26.5 cm), 232 pp, Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "The story of Sir Austen Henry Layard's rediscovery of ancient Assyria and its fabled capital, Nineveh, is one of the great tales of the nineteenth century, uniting archaeological imperialism, genius, and romance. No less remarkable is the story of the collection, dispersal, and then frantic re-acquisition in the twentieth century of the world's greatest Assyrian collection ever to be in private hands. In this fascinating history of the reception of ancient Assyrian art in England and subsequently in America, John Malcolm Russell recounts the story of the huge collection of artifacts that Layard brought back to England. Much went to the British Museum, but much also to the fascinating Lady Charlotte Guest and then, via a Manhattan dealer and numerous competitive curators and millionaires, to the Metropolitan Museum. The last of Layard's Assyrian sculptures, discovered by the author in a private…

This work presents a comprehensive catalogue of the Hellenistic pottery found at Sardis by two archaeological expeditions. The main catalogue includes over 750 items from the current excavations; in addition, material from some 50 Hellenistic tombs excavated in the early twentieth century is published in its entirety for the first time. The early Hellenistic material consists of imports from Greek cities and close local imitations, along with purely Lydian wares typical of the "late Lydian" phase that followed the Persian conquest. By the late Hellenistic period, Sardis boasts a full range of Greek shapes and styles; indeed, the influence of new conquerors, the Romans, was felt as well. Thus the ceramic…

"This book deals with a transitional episode in Mesoamerican prehistory: the decline of Teotihuacan in the eighth and ninth centuries A.D. If René Millon is correct, that Teotihuacan influenced the entire civilized world of Mesoamerica, the demise of this great city triggered one of the most pervasive transformations in the long history of the region’s civilization. This book examines the cultures of that era and the effects that Teotihuacan’s decline had on them. Papers based on the 1984 Summer Seminar, Cultural Adjustments after the Decline of Teotihuacan."
