Including over 50 images reproduced in full color, many never published before, as well as original contributions by Armi Ratia and Janis Kravis, founder of Toronto's Karelia, this book is essential reading for those wishing to understand mid-century design and the social relationships at the heart of global culture. Based in Helsinki and a household name around the world, Marimekko has made important contributions to fashion since the 1960s and is particularly noted for brightly colored printed fabrics and simple styles, used both in women's garments and in home furnishings.

Résumé:
The Irving Oil Company has long played an important role in the economic and cultural landscape of Eastern Canada. Its holdings, ranging from the country's largest refinery to the western hemisphere's first deep-water terminal, also include the ubiquitous Irving gas station. Thaddeus Howlonia, with his trademark panoramic photography, has documented dozens of these structures over twenty five years, often photographing the same station years apart. His work reveals the complex interaction these boxy modernist structures with their material clutter have with a region known for its traditional, picturesque vernacular.

Résumé:
Alison Nolen's intricate welded architectural installations reconstitute monumental, 20th-century sites of leisure, fantasy and cultural artifice, such as the Crystal Palace, Luna Park, Brighton Pier, and Las Vegas. Sensational and fantastic spaces have always inspired Norlen, from her early theme park sculptures and pinball landscapes, to her series of drawn Floats with their tangled collisions of rural fairgrounds, roadside attractions, and construction sites. 64
