History of Furniture: Ancient to 19th C.
No one is better qualified to discuss the evolution of fine furniture from ancient Egypt to Victorian England--with full details of its construction, decoration, use, and historical context--than Michael Huntley. As the Head of Furniture Restoration and Conservation at Sotheby's and author of the acclaimed "History of Furniture" articles in Furniture and Cabinetmaking magazine, he speaks with authority on every style and every period. With the aid of color photographs from Sotheby's unrivaled archives, he gives everyone interested in the subject--collectors, dealers, curators, museum-goers--a book that is both a magnificent gallery they'll visit from cover to cover, and a definitive reference they'll return to again and again.
Asheville and Western North Carolina in World War II
World War II served as a rallying call in Asheville and Western North Carolina, putting the citizens back to work. Asheville's two strongest economic sectors, tourism and medicine; its beautiful isolation; and advanced hospitals served the nation's needs during the Second World War. The United States secreted German and Japanese businessmen, federal agencies, and valuable art in these mountains, and recuperating soldiers found solace in the camps and inns. Meanwhile our citizens-black and white men, women, and children-offered themselves up for service. Images of America: Asheville and Western North Carolina in World War II tells their stories, from Pearl Harbor's bombing to the study of the long-term effects of radiation on the Japanese, from the far Pacific to stateside support groups and local sacrifices.
