Book excerpt: Influential American architect Philip Johnson once mused, "All architecture is shelter; all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space." But with just a small swap of a key word, Johnson could well have been describing animal nests. Birds and insects are nature's premier architects, using a dizzying array of talents to build functional homes in which to live, reproduce, and care for their young. Recycling sticks, branches, grass, and mud to construct their shelters, they are undoubtedly the originators of "green architecture." A visual celebration of these natural feats of engineering and ingenuity, Architecture by Birds and Insects allows readers a peek inside a wide range of nests, offering a rare opportunity to get a sense of the materials and methods used to build them. Here, we see the kinds of places where nests are built--for instance, the house wren has been known to occupy cow skulls, flower pots, tin cans, and the pockets of hanging laundry, while the uglynest caterpillar prefers rose bushes and cherry trees. Inspired by the vast nest collection at the Field Museum, which features specimens gathered throughout North and South America, Peggy Macnamara's paintings are enhanced by text written by museum curators. This narrative provides a foundation in natural history for each painting, as well as fascinating anecdotes about the nests and their builders. Like so many natural treasures, nests are easy to ignore. But Macnamara's gorgeous paintings will undoubtedly change that. Architecture by Birds and Insects at last gives the tiniest engineers their rightful moment in the spotlight, and in so doing increases awareness and encourages the protection of birds, insects, and their habitats. Readers will never look at a Frank Gehry design, or a treetop nest, the same way again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the nature illustrations of a Renaissance polymath reflect his turbulent age This pathbreaking and stunningly illustrated book recovers the intersections between natural history, politics, art, and philosophy in the late sixteenth-century Low Countries. Insect Artifice explores the moment when the seismic forces of the Dutch Revolt wreaked havoc on the region’s creative and intellectual community, compelling its members to seek solace in intimate exchanges of art and knowledge. At its center is a neglected treasure of the late Renaissance: the Four Elements manuscripts of Joris Hoefnagel (1542–1600), a learned Netherlandish merchant, miniaturist, and itinerant draftsman who turned to the study of nature in this era of political and spiritual upheaval. Presented here for the first time are more than eighty pages in color facsimile of Hoefnagel’s encyclopedic masterwork, which showcase both the splendor and eccentricity of its meticulously painted animals, insects, and botanical specimens. Marisa Anne Bass unfolds the circumstances that drove the creation of the Four Elements by delving into Hoefnagel’s writings and larger oeuvre, the works of his friends, and the rich world of classical learning and empirical inquiry in which he participated. Bass reveals how Hoefnagel and his colleagues engaged with natural philosophy as a means to reflect on their experiences of war and exile, and found refuge from the threats of iconoclasm and inquisition in the manuscript medium itself. This is a book about how destruction and violence can lead to cultural renewal, and about the transformation of Netherlandish identity on the eve of the Dutch Golden Age.

Book excerpt: You can get FREE bonus book. All the information you will find on the last page. Yes, ideas! Ideas are beginnings, and they can be very fundamental in the realization of greater things. And so, this book could not only be used to serve as a resource of ideas for all you artists around and those who have the advanced set of skills in drawing, but also for those who are trying to discover the artist in them and to find their path in the realm of drawing. So, you might be thinking why you see a lot of words and letters on this page and in this book, so to speak, when this is a book of drawing. Well, you see, artists don't always talk with their brush or pencil. Non-drawers aren't forbidden to read this book, or else, this would be ridiculous. So, this is for all who can see and read. This can be a beginner's book on drawing as a few basics are also found in here. But as the title suggests, this is also book of ideas. Ideas are like little drops of water that later brings forth streams and rivers that nourishes life, both inanimate and animate, like the flowers and the trees and the insects that dwell around. Simple lines and circles make up something that can either please the eye and the soul, but sometimes they can also upset. Insects can be fascinating but also creepy. So, as a matter of precaution, this book may not be appropriate for those who are entomophobic, or those who fear of insects a lot.For those who are not, drawing insects can be fun. And by art, which means an expression of creative skill and imagination, this book is by no means intended to urge you what to do or not to do or to help you make a copy of these little creepy-crawlies around you, but hope to contribute to your imagination a little of something, from which you can build your own idea or even inspire you to make your own.Drawing insects brings about the artist in you and at the same time, gets you in touch with science too. It could also be a mental exercise and a good way to communicate your ideas as well. In whatever way you use drawing for, there can always be an effect, more or less, in you as the artist and on the viewer as well.
