Modernistic Architecture of the Texas Coast
Jim Parsons and David Bush
In the 1920s, as Houston was beginning its transition from medium-sized Southern city to major American metropolis, local business and civic leaders made a conscious decision to create a new image for their community. For many, modernistic architecture symbolized their best hopes for Houston's future. As the Roaring Twenties gave way to the Great Depression, Art Deco zigzags and Art Moderne streamlining reshaped the city's stores and skyscrapers, factories and apartment buildings.

Ironclad Signatures
Jane Pattie
In the American West, cattle rustling was a killing offense and the cattle brand a rancher’s inviolable mark of ownership. Today, as for 4,000 years, mankind has used branding to mark private property. Branding iron art, historically and across many cultures, has featured common symbols such as moon and star, pitchfork or heart, letters or digits, with bars or slashes to render them lazy, flying, or rocking. Cattleman Leonard Stiles, during his career with the legendary Texas King Ranch, collected over 1,000 branding irons. These clever, rustic, and artistic “iron signatures” appear as detailed drawings in Cattle Brands... More » | | | |  Hard Cover
