Rowman & Littlefield A Visual Dictionary of Decorative and Domestic
Book SynopsisThis full-color visual dictionary contains an unambiguous vocabulary for the parts of handcrafted decorative, domestic, and artistic items. Terminology for a broad array of object types is accompanied by original color illustrations.Trade ReviewWith roots in the quest for orderly terminology by pioneer conservator (and Monuments Man) George Stout, beginning in 1938, and continuing through the Getty's Art and Architecture Thesaurus of the 1980s, a 21st-century vocabulary is now available in A Visual Dictionary of Decorative and Domestic Arts. We thank respected conservator Nancy Odegaard and talented graphic illustrator Gerry Crouse for this guide to 'just the right word' to describe the indescribable details of candlesticks, frames, historical jewelry, and much much more. -- Joyce Hill Stoner, PhD, Edward F. and Elizabeth Goodman Rosenberg Professor of Material Culture, University of DelawareThis visual dictionary is an excellent resource for curators, registrars, and collection managers for use in condition checking artworks or cataloging collections. -- Diana Pardue, Chief Curator, Heard MuseumAs anyone involved in the cataloging of decorative arts knows, there are myriad ways for objects to be described. Nowhere, however, can one turn to an easily understood and comprehensive compendium of commonly employed terms. This volume sets out to change that by defining easily understood descriptive terms for common classes of material objects. These terms are then tied to exploded drawings of common classes of decorative arts to show the reader how they might be employed. Finally, a resource that provides a common descriptive terminology for everyday use. A must for the bookshelf of museum curators, serious collectors and auction professionals. -- C.

Book SynopsisMost Americans give little thought to their county's size, population, when it was created, or how its name came about.

If a county is named for a geographical featureriver, mountain, lake, etc.the origin of the name and the meaning of any Indian or foreign words is provided. For those counties that were named after a specific individual, a brief sketch of the person's life is provided, including updated biographical information from previous editions. The Introduction has been expanded to address such topics as counties with similar names, persons who have more than one namesake county, the paucity of counties named for women, the practice of creating counties in uninhabited regions, and legislators naming counties for each other. At the request of many readers, the 6th edition contains new appendices ranking all counties nationally by population and area, as well as an appendix listing counties that have been eliminated.
