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 DavisAncient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley of 1848!”

-- Roger G. Kennedy, Director Emeritus of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History

 

To order the “EarthWorks” CD-ROM using a credit card, visit our website www.earthworks.uc.edu.  Or, a Purchase Order or check for $24.99 payable to “University of Cincinnati / CERHAS” may be sent to:
