Virgil Exner: Visioneer: The official biography of Virgil M. Exner, designer extraordinaire
The official biography the man who brought his own personal style to the world of industrial design, from automobiles to powerboats Some 50 years after his design masterpieces wrested styling leadership away from General Motors' Harley Earl. Thirty four years after his untimely death, Virgil Exner's name still remains inexorably linked to the Chrysler Corporation in the minds of car enthusiasts worldwide. For an all too brief period, Exner's name epitomized all that was great and exciting in America. His thrilling automobile designs from the mid-fifties took the world by storm and put Chrysler at the top. His work was nothing less than a revolution. Exner introduced to Chrysler, first with his "idea cars" then with production models, vehicles that were wanted for their looks but at the same time, were soundly engineered; automobiles that carried classic proportions and gave the illusion of movement even while stationary. His design of the 1947 Studebaker established the design pattern for all modern cars and was a huge success. With many previously unseen works of art and family photos among the 150 color images throughout, this is a unique and fascinating insight into a pivotal player in the development of the modern automobile. .

Cartographica Extraordinaire: The Historical Map Transformed
David Rumsey's collection of historical maps is one of the largest and most complete of its kind. Focused for the most part on North and South America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the collection is comprised of more than 150,000 items: maps, atlases, and contextual supporting documents. Unlike similar collections, the delicacy and rarity of which necessitate careful storage and restricted use policies, The Rumsey Collection is available in its entirety on the Web and it is this conjunction of old and new technologies that is the heart of Cartographica Extraordinaire. The maps selected for Cartographica Extraordinaire tell a hundred distinct, exciting, important, and sometimes controversial stories, along two main paths of inquiry: how did a continental wilderness become a civilization, and how has the development of cartographic science changed the ways we perceive, describe, study, and use that land?Geographic information systems have come, as part of the digital revolution, to dominate the cartography of today, but GIS didn't leap into being out of nowhere; all its processes and capabilities have precursors in historical maps. Old maps can therefore tell us not only the stories of their subject matter, but stories about the nature of mapmaking as well: its exigencies and limitations, trends and developments-its theory and practice and what that tells us about the people we were, are, and will be..

Politician Extraordinaire: The Tempestuous Life and Times of Martin L. Davey
This carefully researched and engagingly written political biography marks the first full treatment of Ohio native and politician Martin L. Davey. An important figure on the local, state, and national political scene in the early decades of the twentieth century, Davey served as mayor of Kent, Ohio, was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, and completed two terms as Ohio governor.As Frank Vazzano shows, Davey, a maverick Democrat, did things his way no matter the consequences, often alienating his own party as well as his Republican foes. His independence, feistiness, and hot temper exasperated even President Franklin Roosevelt, who worried that Davey's machinations in Ohio might hurt the national ticket in 1936. Davey was a New Deal - era politician and a key depression-era governor known for his keen business sense, political savvy, and self-promotion and remembered for his controversial and scandal-ridden governorship.Rich with Ohio history and politics, this biography of an influential businessman and politician will be important reading for both scholars and the general public..

Histoires Extraordinaires (Dodo Press) (French Edition)
Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) est un poète, romancier, nouvelliste, critique littéraire, dramaturge et éditeur américain, ainsi que l’une des principales figures du romantisme américain. Connu surtout pour ses contes - genre dont la brièveté lui permet de mettre en valeur sa théorie de l’effet, suivant laquelle tous les éléments du texte doivent concourir à la réalisation d’un effet unique -, il a donné à la nouvelle ses lettres de noblesse et est considéré comme l’inventeur du roman policier. Nombre de ses récits préfigurent les genres de la science-fiction et du fantastique. Sa carrière littéraire débute humblement par la publication anonyme d’un recueil de poèmes intitulés Tamerlan et Autres Poèmes (1827), signés seulement ” par un Bostonien ”. Après l’échec de son roman Les Aventures d’Arthur Gordon Pym, Poe réalise son premier recueil d’histoires, Les Contes du Grotesque et de l’Arabesque, en 1839. La même année, il devient rédacteur au Burton’s Gentlemen’s Magazine, puis au Graham’s Magazine à Philadelphie. C’est à Philadelphie que nombre des oeuvres parmi les plus connues ont été publiées..
