Description:

Fiendishly difficult and spectacularly beautiful, Pete Dye’s golf courses are among the most exciting in the world. In this volume, 130 were selected to honor his 85th birthday—among them such famous marvels as Teeth of the Dog, PGA West, TPC Sawgrass, and Black Wolf Run, but also less well-known courses that will come as a revelation to golfers everywhere.

 

Magnificent course photographs, many made especially for this volume by Ken E. May, Dye’s photographer of choice, enhance a witty and irreverent text by golf writer Joel Zuckerman. Tributes by Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Greg Norman introduce Dye’s work and highlight his achievements and his place in the pantheon of great golf course architects. Anecdotes by golf pros, clients, and associates—often hilarious—help make this a must-read book about one of the most colorful characters in the history of the game.

Description: Mapmaking fulfills one of our most ancient and deepseated desires: understanding the world around us and our place in it. But maps need not just show continents and oceans: there are maps to heaven and hell; to happiness and despair; maps of moods, matrimony, and mythological places. There are maps to popular culture, from Gulliver's Island to Gilligan's Island. There are speculative maps of the world before it was known, and maps to secret places known only to the mapmaker. Artists' maps show another kind of uncharted realm: the imagination. What all these maps have in common is their creators' willingness to venture beyond the boundaries of geography or convention.
You Are Here is a wide-ranging collection of such superbly inventive maps. These are charts of places you're not expected to find, but a voyage you take in your mind: an exploration of the ideal country estate from a dog's perspective; a guide to buried treasure on Skeleton Island; a trip down the road to success; or the world as imagined by an inmate of a mental institution. With over 100 maps from artists, cartographers, and explorers, You are Here gives the reader a breath-taking view of worlds, both real and imaginary.

Description: Amazon Best of the Month, December 2008: From Kentucky to California, the construction of tens of thousands of big box stores over the past few decades has transformed the American landscape. What happens when one of these stores goes bust or moves to a super-sized retail center a few miles down the road? Right now communities across the country are confronted with the challenge of repurposing these enormous physical structures, their acres of parking lot, and the accompanying network of roadways. Intrepid artist and writer Julia Christensen traveled all over the United States to discover the surprising story of how some of them have creatively met that challenge. Big Box Reuse--an appropriately big, square book--describes in words, photographs, and building plans the reincarnation of 10 former retail behemoths into facilities ranging from an indoor raceway and a Spam museum to a health center, library, and charter school. In each case study, Christensen documents and reflects deeply on the big box transformation with respect to each locale's particular socio-economic, political, and cultural history. Big Box Reuse presents "outside the box" thinking on American culture and commerce, community activism, and savvy and sensible redesign of our built environment. --Lauren Nemroff
