SEGD_Design - (Page 15) no. 23 Hot Reads What are You Reading? “This book focuses on my long-standing interest in what makes people happy, and why some countries seem happier than others.” Maps: A Visual Survey and Design Guide—Michael Southworth and Susan Southworth “I haven’t found anything else that puts the entire gamut of maps together in one place, and so well.” —PETER BAIN Signage and Wayfinding Design—Chris Calori “This always gets my mind going in the right direction.” The Complete Works of William Shakespeare “Thus we play the fools with time; and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.” —JEFF RUTHERFORD, CENTURY SIGN BUILDERS The Art of the Market: Two Centuries of American Business As Seen Through Its Stock Certificates—Bob Tamarkin and Les Krantz “This has always been a great book—even timelier right now—so I pulled it off the shelf and started re-reading it. It’s filled with tons of images of certificates and other legal notes from when stocks were worth something! If only I had bought AT&T back then…” —DAVID RAU, 3NORTH Death in a Prairie House—William R. Drennan “I have long wondered how one of the most notorious mass murders in Wisconsin history—at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin—escaped the critical eye of the architect’s biographers. Drennan digs deep to reveal how the tragic event affected Wright’s life and work. A riveting read!” —MIMI EDGEVALE The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World—Eric Weiner “This book focuses on my long-standing interest in what makes people happy, and why some countries seem happier than others. The author is very insightful, has a wonderful sense of humor, and comes to some surprising conclusions.” —PHIL MUSSELWHITE, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Hugo Haase: Karussellkönig aus Winsen (Hugo Haase: Carousel King from Winsen) —Darijana Hahn “Hugo Haase was the creator of extraordinary amusement park rides at the turn of the century. The presentation and surroundings of his rides were over the top and he may well have been the first to exploit fairgrounds lighting. This small book does a good job summing up Haase's importance.” —BARBARA FAHS CHARLES, STAPLES & CHARLES Palladian Days: Finding a New Life in a Venetian Country House—Sally Gable and Carl I. Gable “A first-hand account of an Atlanta couple who buy a Palladian Villa in Italy as a second home. From concerts on the lawn to scorpions in the bed sheets, historical research in Venice to home improvement woes…it’s all there, written more like a diary than a novel. A great read for history buffs, architects, artists, travelers, Italophiles, and home improvement aficionados.” —JIM DOUSSARD, HOK 12 segdDESIGN
