From the Dust Jacket: "In this witty, far reaching, and utterly original work, Allucquère Rosanne Stone examines the myriad ways modern technology is challenging traditional notions of gender identity Not a traditional text, but rather a series of intellectual provocations: from busy cyberlabs to the electronic solitude of the Internet, from phone sex to 'virtual cross dressers,' from the Vampire Lestat to the trial of a man accused of having raped a woman by seducing one of her multiple personalities. Throughout, Stone wrestles with the question of how best to convey a complex description of a culture whose chief activity is complex description. Writing eloquently of creating a 'text that breaks rules,' serving as a 'sampler of possible choices,' she employs elements from a wide range of disciplines and genres, including cultural and critical theory, social sciences, pulp journalism, science fiction, and personal memoir. Each chapter of the book can be read as a kind of performance piece, with its own individual voice and structure. In the final chapter, stone threads the various narratives together". First Edition.

From the rear cover: "Robert Mark plumbs the mystery of the great buildings of ancient Rome, the High Gothic era, and the Renaissance, revealing the astonishing depth of knowledge the ancient builders possessed. His findings provide a stronger technological focus for architectural history and a basis for more rational criticism of contemporary design." "Guided by a sleuth's compulsion, Mark has left no stone unturned to explain how the Pantheon and Hagia Sophia domes really work, how and why the French Gothic cathedrals evolved, the subtlety of the design of St. Paul's Cathedral, and the variety of more or less correctly designed high-rise structures of our time. This book should be carefully read." -- Mario Salvadori, ARCHITECTURE. "Students of architecture and the history of art, as well as architects, can benefit from this book - one of the most objective historical accounts of structure and form we are likely to find." -- Philip Arcidi, PROGRESSIVE ARCHITECTURE. .

Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2021 Hard Cover. 208 pp. There's more to Banksy than the painting on the wall: the first in-depth investigation into the mysteries of the world's most famous living artist. Banksy is the world's most famous living artist, yet no one knows who he is. For more than twenty years, his wryly political and darkly humorous spray paintings have appeared mysteriously on urban walls around the globe, generating headlines and controversy. Art critics disdain him, but the public (and the art market) love him. With this generously illustrated book, artist and critic Carol Diehl is the first author to probe the depths of the Banksy mystery. Through her exploration of his paintings, installations, writings, and Academy Award-nominated film, Exit through the Gift Shop, Diehl proves unequivocally that there's more to Banksy than the painting on the wall. Seeing Banksy as the ultimate provocateur, Diehl investigates the dramas that unfold after his works are discovered, with all of their social, economic, and political implications. She reveals how this trickster rattles the system, whether during his month-long 2013 self-styled New York "residency" or his notorious Dismaland of 2015, a full-scale dystopian "family theme park unsuitable for children" dedicated to the failure of capitalism. Banksy's work, Diehl shows, is a synthesis of conceptual art, social commentary, and political protest, played out not in museums but where it can have the most effect--on the street, in the real world. The questions Banksy raises about the uses of public and private property, the role of the global corporatocracy, the never-ending wars, and the gap between artworks as luxury goods and as vehicles of social expression, have never been more relevant.
