Nonfiction |
||||||
| The Man Who Changed His Skin is the first complete biography of John Howard Griffin. In 1935, Griffin journeyed from Texas to France alone at age 15, to study. When the Nazis invaded France, he helped get French, German and Austrian Jews to safety. Before he was 21, he was on Gestapo death lists. He returned to the U.S., joined the Air Force and was stationed on a remote island in the South Pacific. His eyesight was damaged in a Japanese air attack and he became blind for 10 years. Suddenly, it came back. He then turned his skin black and traveled throughout the south in 1959-1960. His book, Black Like Me, became an instant American classic and was published in 65 countries. This biography is published on the 50th anniversary of Black Like Me. | ||||||

what we wanted for our covers and interior design and corrected mistakes
we didn't realize we were making. Prompt and professional! We have a
beautiful book, thanks to her help. I can't wait to work with her again
and would never recommend anyone else for book design.” |

Type + Code: Processing for Designers by Yeohyun Ahn and Viviana Cordova Foreword by Ellen Lupton ISBN: 978-0-578-01143-1 Published by Maryland Institute College of Art |
|||||
| This book explores the typographic
possibilities of Processing, the computer language created by Casey Reas
and Ben Fry and Case Reas. Processing is a simple but deceptively powerful
programming language that can generate startling visual effects. Processing
users are finding new ways to use its flexibility every day, sending their
interpreted data to objects as varied as drawing machines, architectural
facades, and cell phones. Learning to work with code can be as fundamental
to the designer's education as learning to bind a book or print with letterpress,
particularly for those who wish to work with non-traditional media. For more information about the book and the author, visit Yeoahn.com. To purchase the book, click here. |

| "Jill Ronsley did
a magnificent job on the interior design of our book, Success
and Happiness. Jill is the consummate professional, and
she was extremely helpful throughout the design process. She knows the
right questions to ask, including those you may not think of on your
own. Jill gave our book the distinctive look we were hoping for. In addition,
it is a pleasure to work with Jill, and she always responds promptly
to any questions or requests. I’m doing another book now, and I
have already put it in Jill’s hands. I know that I can count on
her to do an excellent job." —Jeff Keller, contributing author |

Emperor Showa by Izumoi Aki |
|||||
| "Having personally witnessed the tragic
consequences of World War I, Emperor Showa vowed to devote himself to the
cause of everlasting world peace. His opposition notwithstanding, Japan
went to war, was defeated and experienced the horrific effects of two atomic
bombings. Emperor Showa was directly responsible for Japan’s miraculous
postwar revival. He caused a nation that had been reduced to ashes to rise
again, like the proverbial phoenix. The miracle can be attributed to the
example set by the Emperor’s selflessness and infinite compassion
for his people." (note from the author) Click here to download a sample. |
