20th Artist Century Great Life
 Shell Chic: The Ultimate Guide to Decorating Your Home With Seashells by Marlene Hurley Marshall, X Lucky Sea Bean, Purple Unicorn, Pink Scallop Moon, Crab's Eyes, Yellow Landsnail, Pearly Nautilus -- splendid names for natural works of art that have captured the imaginations of artists, architects, society collectors, and beach worshipers for centuries. In 18th-century England, shell mania knew no limits. Country estates were outfitted with grottoes, where every surface was covered with intricate layers and patterns of shells. Later, throughout much of the 19th century, shell-encrusted furniture was displayed in upper-class homes, and sailors' valentines were brought from Barbados to waiting sweethearts. In the 20th century, Frank Lloyd Wright was greatly influenced by a univalve design while working on plans for the Guggenheim Museum. "Certainly, " said Wright, "Divinity is manifest here in these shells in their humble form of life, such greatness with such simplicity." Clearly, shells capture a romance and an exotic flavor that continue to enchant and inspire. Now Shell Chic brings the design and imagination of today's shell enthusiasts and artisans to the home. This is a book to be savored for its eccentric decorative flair, its lavish sense of fun, and its practical instructions for shell projects and design ideas that will work in any home decor. Frames, chandeliers, unusual boxes, mirrors, a child-size clawfoot tub -- all are fabulous possibilities for shell encrustation. Memories of peaceful beach vacations become ravishing decorative items when glued to lampshades and screens. In all, 14 step-by-step illustrated projects and 20 design ideas cover everything readers need to know to create richly marvelous objects. To lend inspiration, there are profiles of contemporaryshell artists photographed with their creations. One profile features Marian McEvoy, editor of House Beautiful, who has embellished her Manhattan apartment with an estimated 15,000 shells.
 David Boring (En Espanol): David Boring Meet David Boring: a nineteen-year-old security guard with a tortured inner life and an obsessive nature. When he meets the girl of his dreams, things begin to go awry: what seems too good to be true apparently is. And what seems truest in Boring's life is that, given the right set of circumstances (in this case, an orgiastic cascade of vengeance, humiliation and murder) the primal nature of humankind will come inexorably to the fore. Daniel Clowes' cartooning is eerie and dramatic-full of the world as we know it, but as seen from an angle available only to the artist, an angle from which this slice of Boring's life becomes at once a realistic (if paranoid) whodunit and a surrealistic fantasy. Clowes vividly captures the feeling of being young and filled w/ennui, living at the end of the 20th century. This is a tale of rich, kaleidoscopic weirdness certain to delight not only lovers of comics, but also fans of great storytelling, intriguing characters, and compelling suspense.
