Crescent City Snow is part guidebook, part diary, and part biography of fifty snowball stands and their customers in the greater New Orleans area. Keep a copy of Crescent City Snow in the car for when you want to try a new place, and use the table in the back to record your own observations. From the Introduction: "Now that I'm older, my favorite thing about snowballs is that they are icy, sweet tokens of affection. You can show your feelings for someone better with a snowball than you can with a card. Think of how you felt when a friend brought you a snowball to the hospital, like my friend Erin Johnson did for me? Or when your grandfather picked you up from summer camp and took you for a surprise one? How about when you were on a date and the person you were with remembered what flavor you liked and how you liked it dressed?

While mortuary ruins have long fascinated archaeologists and art historians interested in the cultures of the Near East and eastern Mediterranean, the human skeletal remains contained in the tombs of this region have garnered less attention.

Through the intricate art of paper collage, Megan Fullmer Perry’s The Overlook Book invites children and adults alike to explore diverse perspectives and engage in meaningful conversations about friendship, love, and kindness. Our initial view of a situation doesn’t always allow us to see the whole picture. Only by looking at an issue from a different perspective can we gain a better understanding. The Overlook Book: Change Your Perspective, Change the World encourages readers to see things from a different perspective in a very literal way. Showing scenes from one viewpoint and then pivoting to an aerial view helps readers understand what is really going on in each scene and what vital details we might be missing with our limited view. Author and illustrator Megan Fullmer Perry’s colorful artwork is created using paper collages, so the images have a degree of depth, shadow, and texture from the layers of paper that mirror the layers of our understanding. The Overlook Book invites readers to open their minds to new perspectives and explores concepts of friendship, family, support, love, inclusion, peace, and kindness.

Expanding Fields of Architectural Discourse and Practice presents a selection of essays, architectural experiments and works that explore the diversity within the fields of contemporary architectural practice and discourse. Specific in this selection is the question of how and why architecture can and should manifest in a critical and reflective capacity, as well as to examine how the discipline currently resonates with contemporary art practice.

The volume argues that the initial aims of the journal – to explore and celebrate the myriad forms through which architecture can exist – are n...
