Fantastic Plastic. It's plastic. It's fantastic. Fantastic Plastic is devoted to the weird, the wonderful, the odd, the radical, the exotic and the just plain cool vehicles that have been captured in polystyrene (and resin) over the past half century. A celebration of science, engineering, daring and imagination, what follows is a chronicle of Man's highest aspirations as expressed through his flying machines, both real and imagined. 10:41:04 AM     |

Art and Architecture. The life and works of Antonio Gaudi. Thanks to Peter Blake for the link. The Catalan architect Antonio Gaudi has in recent years attracted increasing interest outside of Spain. The purpose of this volume is to make available in English a description of his works and an evaluation of his place in the architecture of his day and of our own. For the specialist there is included what is believed to be a definitive inventory and chronology of his works and a selective bibliography of books and articles on Gaudi and his period. Most of his extant works are illustrated with photographs selected for their architectural qualities. In addition, a number of little-known and recently discovered works by Gaudi will be found among the illustrations. 10:20:12 AM     |
