books by Thomas Hine     books:       Populuxe10 reviews Thomas Hine Overlook TP, 2007 Fun look at American History I found this book in college, used as a text for the Industrial Design dept. I was a Criminal Justice major myself, but found this a great look at American culture. This book could be a blueprint for the whimsical looks at the 50's seen on History Channel documentaries. Hines book is a fun, unpretentious look at the times that led to the designs. It is refreshing that the author didn't take the ...             Richard Neutra: And The Search for Modern Architecture4 reviews Thomas S. Hines Rizzoli, 2006 Excellent overall view of Neutra's work and his life story. The classic Neutra companion; very informative. Although I would have liked to have seen current color photographs of the great RJN's work along with the extensive B&W ones (actually I believe a volume of that nature is in the works), this retrospective is nonetheless very broad in its scope and has many interesting stories about the building of the structures during Neutra's life. Also ...             I Want That!: How We All Became Shoppers9 reviews Thomas Hine Harper Perennial, 2003 A lot in one small package... Thomas Hine's writing reveals a unique blend of history, marketing and pop culture savvy. Of course, anyone familiar with "Populuxe," his groundbreaking view of consumerism in the 1950's and early '60's, knows this full well. "I Want That!" continues in that vein. Immensely readable, the book chronicles the history of shopping and consumer behavior, examining *why* humans have liked to shop ...             Gregory Ain: The Modern Home as Social Commentary (Architecture) Anthony Denzer Rizzoli, 2008 Gregory Ain joined the ranks of the architectural elite when he was invited by The Museum of Modern Art to design an exhibition house?other invitees included Buckminster Fuller, Marcel Breuer, and Frank Lloyd Wright?but he was vastly different from these architects in his political engagement, counter-cultural leanings, and his commitment to designing for the middle class. A timely reexamination of Ain, this book explores his life and work. With ...             The Rise and Fall of the American Teenager11 reviews Thomas Hine Harper Perennial, 2000 Wow. I could not put this book down once I began reading it. It was entertaining, informative, and really made me question the way teenagers are classified today. The amount of both freedom and responsibility granted to younger adults in earlier generations is amazing in comparison to the idleness and lack of direction granted to them today. I'm fascinated by the evolution of the high ...             Frank Lloyd Wright The Houses17 reviews Alan Hess Rizzoli, 2005 Almost As Good As Being There This is a necessary book for all who study architecture. Why? Because the photography conveys something close to the reality of Mr. Wright's works, especially so when it comes to the interiors. When I was studying architecture in college in the 1970s, the BEST photography books about Wright's oeuvre were "In the Nature of Materials" and the very expensive Wendingen Edition. Both are ...             NASD Arbitration Solution: Five Black Belt Principles to Protect and Grow Your Financial Services Practice1 review Thomas J. Hine, John K. Brubaker Wiley, 2007 Must have for Financial Planners John Brubaker is an insightful, thoughtful author. If you are a FP, this is a MUST HAVE!             The Eames Lounge Chair: An Icon of Modern Design3 reviews Martin Eidelberg, Thomas Hine, ... Merrell, 2006 Lounging about At last a book about THAT chair. Thomas Hine, one of the contributors to this interesting book, writes a chapter about the way the chair kept popping up in all the right media and this probably helped it along to its iconic status. I was aware of the chair many years ago and kept seeing it in interior design photos, adverts, and anywhere that visually needed to project an upmarket ambience. ...             Modern American Houses: 50 Years of Design in Architectural Record1 review "Harry N. Abrams, Inc.", 2005 50 Years of Architectural Record The Architectural Record is the New York Times of architectural world. It is the journal of record with the best editors, writers and photographers. Starting in 1956, the Architectural Record began dedicating one issue a year to new houses. "Modern American Houses" is a fifty year compilation of the best and most important houses featured in the magazine. Some of the featured homes are ...             The Total Package: The Secret History and Hidden Meanings of Boxes, Bottles, Cans, and Other Persuasive ...9 reviews Thomas Hine Back Bay Books, 1997 You buy, therefore you must read this book. My community college graphic design students read this book for a class, so I've read it six or seven times now. Every year I look forward to it. It is a wonderful way to get my (mostly) American students to think their role in an economy they've rarely questioned. They learn about how products have been adorned and contained over the centuries and they also learn why great cities thrived with ...             The Great Funk: Falling Apart and Coming Together (on a Shag Rug) in the Seventies9 reviews Thomas Hine Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007 Remembering a decade we'd like to forget Toward the end of Thomas Hine's terrific new book, "The Great Funk", he reminds us that even after 225 pages of historical remembrances about the Seventies, this was a truly awful decade. For those of us who came of age then, Hine's offering is a cheerful, if whimsical look back...for others who were not alive at the time, this may be the best (and only) chance to get to know it. "The Great ...             The Harvard Guide to African-American History: Foreword by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (Harvard University Press ... Harvard University Press, 2001 This landmark guide covers research into every aspect of African-American life and work, offering a compendium of information and interpretation about almost 400 years of African-Americans' experiences as an ethnic group and as Americans. The first part of the Guide contains 12 essays on historical research aids, from traditional archival and reference materials to the Internet. The second and largest part presents comprehensive and ...             Irving Gill and the Architecture of Reform: A Study in Modernist Architectural Culture3 reviews Thomas S. Hines Monacelli, 2000 A visionary way ahead of his time. To look back at the work of Irving Gill is a revelation. His buildings could come out of the architecture studio of today with their pared down facades, sparse oranamentation, and uniquely angled roof lines. His hotel in Torrance, Ca looks like something that a circa 2000 urban planning commission would commend--with its pedestrian friendly entrance, and urbane appearance. If Gill were alive ...             New Land Marks : Public Art, Community, and the Meaning of Place1 review Penny Balkin Bach, Lucy R. Lippard, ... Grayson Publishing, 2000 New?Land?Marks New*Land*Marks: Public Art, Community, and the Meaning of Place, edited by Penny Balkin Bach, is the book version of an exhibition of models and proposals for an ambitions public art project in Philadelphia, undertaken by the Fairmount Park Art Association. In a way, the show and book are virtual public art: the photographs, texts, and models are a vision of what could happen, not only in this ...             William Faulkner and the Tangible Past: The Architecture of Yoknapatawpha (California Studies in the History ... Thomas S. Hines University of California Press, 1997 The world of William Faulkner is seen from a new perspective in Thomas Hines's imaginative and many-faceted study. Hines assesses the impact of the built environment on Faulkner's consciousness and shows how the architecture of the writer's fictional county of Yoknapatawpha reflects the actual architecture of Oxford, Mississippi, and neighboring areas. Over 110 distinctive photographs, in both color and black-and-white, beautifully complement ...             Burnham of Chicago: Architect and Planner1 review Thomas S. Hines University Of Chicago Press, 1979 A Page Turner! Thomas Hines is one of the best professors at UCLA; his classes on architectural history remain some of my very favorites from my four years at the school. This book is a fascinating account of architect Burnham's personal and professional life, and is bound to be interesting to students both of architecture, history and human nature.             The Shorter Bartlett's Familar Quotations Warner Books Twig, 1995 Bartlett's Familiar Quotations expanded multimedia edition gives you all 22,000 quotations in Bartlett's plus hundreds of picture, sound, and video quotations.

Hine, as he demonstrated in "Populuxe" which is a bit of a classic at this point, has a good feel for an uncommon general topic. What he kind of lacks is intense depth and profound insight, and I don't think he sees that as his job, and thank-you to him. He generally conveys (and well) his delight in the interesting details about a subject. Placed alongside a lot of the overwrought and highly ...              search for books african-american, arbitration, architect, architectural, architecture, california, commentary, community, containers, evolution, faulkner, financial, foreword, meanings, modernist, persuasive, populuxe, practice, principles, quotations, reference, services, seventies, shoppers, solution, tangible, teenager, together, university, yoknapatawpha books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
