I am pleased to share information about two new publications related to
the University of Cincinnati that might be of interest to
art/architecture libraries:
1. The University of Cincinnati: Architectural Transformation --
Tradition and Innovation.
http://www.magazine.uc.edu/1107/photoperfect.htm
Photographer Robert Flischel has spent several years documenting the
signature architecture program on the UC campus. Order information:
http://www.uc.edu/sas/parents/Flischel_book.html
2. "EarthWorks: Virtual Explorations of the Ancient Ohio Valley"
CD-ROM for Windows or Mac
"EarthWorks" is a virtual journey among the enormous, precisely
engineered monuments built by Native Americans across the Ohio Valley
region two thousand years ago. Stunning computer model animations of
ancient landscapes reveal mounds, effigies, and huge geometric and
hilltop enclosures as they were first imagined by their builders. An
engaging "interactive video navigation" format allows users to explore
the sites and their features, plus multiple interpretations of their
uses, their meanings, and their makers. Behind two-and-a-half hours of
video content are full hypertext resources including source credits, an
interactive timeline, map guides, a glossary/index, and a bibliography.
"Spectacular. Incredibly rich and deep. Everything that interactive
media should be!"
-- Awards Jury, The Columbus International Film and Video Festival
("Chris" Awards)
"An exquisite piece of work."
-- Dr. Anthony Aveni, Professor of Anthropology and Astronomy, Colgate
University
"The first visually-rich, thorough, and engaging treatment of this
important topic in many decades: the best thing since Squier and Davis'
Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley of 1848!"
-- Roger G. Kennedy, Director Emeritus of the Smithsonian National
Museum of American History
