no. 27 Hot Reads What are You Reading? Naked Airport: A Cultural History of the World’s Most Revolutionary Structure—Alastair Gordon “I frequently ﬂy into and out of Washington National airport. Like so many airports, it’s layer upon layer of different architectures and systems. After reading this book, I understand the history and philosophy behind the layers. Fascinating!” —ANN MAKOWSKI, SEGD “After reading this book, I understand the history and philosophy behind the layers. Fascinating!” The Nasty Bits: Collected Varietal Cuts, Usable Trim, Scraps, and Bones—Anthony Bourdain “I like his style of writing and the subject matter. Having lived overseas, I am fascinated with regional foods that are far removed from my conservative upbringing.” —CHRIS BARKER, WALT DISNEY IMAGINEERING Designage: The Art of the Decorative—Arnold Schwartzman “A must-have for your list. It’s a fantastic resource showing signage exquisitely integrated into architecture, in the century prior to the arrival of SEGD.” —MARK OATIS, YESCO LAS VEGAS Thinking with Type: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students—Ellen Lupton “A great read with various visuals that are engaging, each in their own way depending on the topic. Integrating history of typography, notable typographers, and basic elements, styles, and trends of the trade, this book is not only enticing at a student level, but to a revisiting professional as well. Deﬁnitely one of those ‘should be on every designer’s bookshelf’ kinds of read.” —Sarah Prechtl, GNU GROUP Life Without Lawyers—Philip K. Howard “Well written by a lawyer seeking reform, yet a real reminder of how sad our state of affairs when it comes to doing the right thing.” —JUAN CARLOS CASAS The Outlander—Gil Adamson “I recently holed up with this novel while I was sick. So cinematically written that you could easily track the heroine, 19-year-old Mary Boulton, as she makes her way alone across Canada’s brutal West, running from the law, Victorian-era conventions, and her own feelings of powerlessness. Quite a read.” —PAT MATSON KNAPP, SEGDDESIGN 10 segdDESIGN
