amous in Japan for his three-dimensional pop-up art, Seiji Tsukimoto teaches you to make 15 amazing globe-shaped, customisable paper forms using only cutting and folding -- and then shows you how to turn each into unique pieces, adding your own embellishments, decorations, or words.

Holidays: Christmas; Easter. Special Celebrations: Birthdays; Weddings and more! Each design folds down to a flat surface and, when pressed at both ends, shifts to a sphere that features images, messages, and intricate patterns. You will learn to assemble forms with 3, 6, 10, and 18 rings in five difficulty levels -- super novice, novice, intermediate, advanced, and advanced designs with doors. Once you've mastered the designs, use the ready-to-assemble templates to customise your own spherical pop-up forms. Then display your creations or present them to family and friends, who will enjoy and treasure your personalised creations for years to come.

Fetch, Cat. Fetch! is an endearing message of patience and love mixed with a big dose of humour. Young children are encouraged to build reading comprehension skills and to gain confidence in this comical look at a special bond between a girl and her beloved cat. Through simple language and short sentences, he captures the laughter and joy of watching a sweet, patient child trying to teach her cat to do tricks. The illustrations, on the other hand, depict the lovable, stubborn, lazy pet cat who just wants to nap all day, refusing her attempts to play fetch, or to sit, shake, roll over, or do any other tricks that a dog would do. Subtle humor, sight words, and lots of repetition make this a unique and fun first independent reading book, and just when the reader thinks the cat will finally get his nap, a clever twist of irony will have children laughing hysterically. The girl finally gives up and asks the cat to stay, and that's when he finally gets up-and runs away!

A stunning photo book featuring portraits and summaries of masterpieces from 10,000-plus years of architectural history, from churches and temples, castles and caves to pyramids and palaces, walls, towers, and more! The iridescent play of light through Gothic windows. Skyscrapers gleaming in the sun. The worn steps of a Mayan pyramid. Indian temples rich in detailed reliefs.

Here, humankind's architectural masterpieces are presented in outstanding photographs, accompanied by texts that highlight interesting facts about each monument's history. Presented chronologically, this organization reveals often-overlooked parallels among cultures worldwide: Who would have thought that while the Romans were discussing politics at the Forum, life was flourishing in the Mexican city of Teotihuacán? Or that the Great Mosque of Djenné and St. Patrick’s Cathedral were built at the same time? This captivating book will take you on a global exploration of humanity's greatest architectural achievements, all of which bear witness to their time.

Color is a powerful force in our lives. It is a major influence in visual and verbal communication and on the decisions we make every day. Deep Color unpacks all the shades of the rainbow (plus black, white, and pink) with little-known facts, stunning visuals, and a critical perspective on color and the nonverbal meanings it carries. Essays explore the intriguing facets of color, such as imperial yellow in China or lapis lazuli in Egypt. Each hue is illustrated not just in words, but in historical and contemporary images that show how ancient ideas are still very much alive today—and also how color can take on new meanings. For creatives of all kinds, Deep Color helps us unpack the color-laden stimuli all around us and find new depth in our color choices.

Celebrating a wide range of punk design in vinyl cover art, posters, flyers, fanzines, and other ephemera, The Art of Punk highlights the movement primarily within graphic design and print, while also considering its impact on wider popular culture. Punk was based on immediacy—an often-inspired amateurism and underground, close-knit communities that burned brightly but were not intended to extend beyond the gig, the event, the scene, the moment. Punk songs by such legendary bands as the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, the Damned, the New York Dolls, the Germs, and the Clash tended to be short, fast, and aggressive, and the oft-repeated credo “If it can’t be said in three minutes, it’s not worth saying” was adopted as standard practice, extending in turn to an entire ethos for the whole subculture. The book is arranged chronologically, and by genre, and features more than 900 visual examples both by uncredited artists and internationally renowned designers and design groups, alongside interviews with, and commentary by, many of the artists concerned.

The year was 1941, and the flames of world war were threatening America's shores. President Franklin D. Roosevelt called for an "Arsenal of Democracy" and demanded fabrication of 50,000 warplanes per year. But first, sprawling new airplane factories were needed. Located in the heart of Columbus, Ohio, proved to be an ideal choice. The Columbus plant was home to a broad spectrum of fascinating aircraft. Curtiss-Wright moved in, and soon, thousands of SB2C Helldivers rolled out. The Korean War found North American Aviation (NAA) of Los Angeles as the new occupant. Advanced airplanes, many of them jets, were soon in high-rate production. Some, like the T-28 Trojan and T-2, were docile trainers. The Navy FJ Fury series augmented the dogfighting F-86 Sabre jets during the 1950s. The OV-10 Bronco was built rugged for close-in jungle combat during the Vietnam War. The supersonic Vigilante was a masterpiece of homegrown advanced technology. Production at Columbus ended in 1988 with major subassemblies for the Rockwell B-1B Lancer, a strategic bomber. This is the history of the Columbus plant from pouring concrete footings in 1941 until the plant was vacated in 1988.
