A new classic gets the deluxe treatment! Following the success of
Obi Kaufmann’s bestselling The California Field Atlas, this
Deluxe Edition features a larger format showcasing Kaufmann’s
sumptuous watercolors and lettering. In addition to its larger
size, the Deluxe Edition has illustrated endpapers, a ribbon
bookmark, premium paper, and gold embossing on a luxurious
leather-like cover. This is a must-have for any book lover, or for
fans of nature guides, atlases, and works that fuse science and
art. Plus, with a limited print run and deluxe materials, this
edition makes a stunning gift. A winner of multiple awards,
including the 2018 California Book Award (Notable Contribution to
Publishing) and the NCIBA Book of the Year Award (Regional
Interest), and a #1Â San Francisco
Chronicle bestseller, The California Field
Atlas is unlike any other book. Artist-adventurer Obi
Kaufmann takes readers beyond normal conceptions of California,
blending science and art to illuminate the state’s multifaceted
array of living, connected systems. Kaufmann unveils layer after
layer of the natural world, depicting its myriad ecologies,
topographies, and histories in exquisite maps and trail paintings.
The effect is staggeringly beautiful: a California made up of
dancing tectonic plates, watersheds, and wildflower gardens. In
addition to maps, this atlas offers spirited illustrations of
wildlife, keys that explain natural phenomena, and a clear-sighted
but reverential text. Full of character and in a class all its
own, The California Field Atlas is the ultimate love
letter to the Golden State.
The Spitz book of hours is one of the finest French books of hours
in the collections of the Getty Museum. It is also one of the most
original and inventive manuscripts painted in the International
style. The Spitz Master, its primary illuminator, allows the
narrative of the miniatures to fill the borders, bringing its pages
alive in a fresh and engaging manner.
In new art-historical research, Gregory Clark places this
manuscript's vivid, even witty, imagery in the turbulent context of
Parisian culture around 1420. Clark also examines the book of hours
in the context of medieval culture, the book trade in Paris, and
the role of Paris as an international center of illumination. The
Spitz Master: A Parisian Book of Hours is the first study devoted
entirely to the manuscript and reproduces all the book's glowing
miniatures in full color. It will serve as a lively introduction to
the Spitz Hours for scholars and the general public alike.
