Dinosaurs of Eastern Iberia
Written for the general reader, this book is both a colorful introduction to the history and study of dinosaurs and an eye-opening survey of dinosaur discoveries in Spain. At the time of the dinosaurs, Iberia was in the process of becoming a peninsula of Continental Europe and looked very different than it does today. Now an area only slightly larger than Vermont and New Hampshire, Eastern Iberia contains one of the richest fossil records of Mesozoic vertebrates in Europe. This record spans an 80-million-year period that includes key moments in Earth's history, such as the extinction events at the Jurassic-Cretaceous and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundaries. Dinosaurs of Eastern Iberia tells the story of Iberia's tumultuous geological history and presents a detailed synthesis of the region's dinosaur discoveries, with fact sheets and reconstructions of each species found there. This volume also describes the flora and fauna that made up the ancient ecosystems and explores the paleobiogeography of this dynamic region.
The Sauropod Dinosaurs
The best illustrated and most comprehensive book ever published on the largest land animals the world has ever known. From The Land Before Time to Jurassic Park, images of fantastically large, long-necked, plant-eating dinosaurs have captured our imaginations. These are the sauropods: centerpieces of museums and gentle giants of the distant past. Imagine what it must have been like to crest a hill and see in the valley below not just one sauropod, but an entire herd, feeding its way across the landscape. The most massive land animals ever to have lived, sauropods roamed widely across the continents through most of the "Age of Dinosaurs" from about 220 to 65 million years ago. They reached in...
Shirin Neshat
"Not only is this book filled with breathtaking imagery, commentary is included to get a better glimpse into the creative process of one of the most original artists of our time." "Zinke" Magazine"[H]er eponymous new book is anything but simplistic; Shirin Neshat chronicles the artist's exploration of complex themes such as exile and the role of gender within Islam." National Public Radio[A] handsome and provocative monograph ... a powerful and moving group of artistic snapshots that undoubtedly will make readers interested in viewing the original film and video works in their transcendent and spiritually absolute glory." Fest21.com"Shirin Neshat's work has never been afraid of tackling the binaries pulling us in opposite directions, whether they be tensions between East and West, men and women, faith and reason."

Women of Allah
As an Iranian woman, Shirin Neshat's startling photographs convey a power that is more than merely exotic. Veiled women brandish guns in defiant stances, with Arabic calligraphy drawn upon the background of the photos. Though their non-Western iconography may at first disorient the viewer, these pictures have a boldly stylized look that is utterly compelling.
Shirin Neshat
"In her profoundly beautiful films Shirin Neshat raises the most pressing converns and predicaments of humanity: the conflict between madness and civilization, freedom and constraint, order and change, inhibition and release, despair and rage. This book documents the visusal, philisophical, and moral complexity of her uncompromising artistic quest."--Back cover.
