Words becoming pictures: a rich typographical resource of images and inspiration for designers. Expressive lettering and illustrated words: here is a kaleidoscope of highly animated text and type from a broad spectrum of styles and effects. Psychedelia, Hip-Hop, Gothic, flowers, smoke, hair, electricity, and monuments are just a few of the creative allusions for the dramatic and intricate examples inspired by nature, history, and just about anything that is visually provocative. Beginning with an historical overview of ornamental type and how it has evolved through the major creative periods from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present, the book includes hundreds of contemporary examples from around the world, organized into three sections: History Lesson, Au Naturel, and Eclectic. Each includes a brief essay introducing the background, influences, and outstanding aspects of the graphic work so beautifully displayed. New Ornamental Type is an essential reference for practitioners and students, and for anyone who appreciates the sheer delight of type as illustration.

An extract from an international celebration charting the 20th century - stories of poverty and wealth, work and play, tales of changing environments - both urban and rural, in peace and wartime.

Forensic entomology is the study of insects associated with carrion in order to determine elapsed time since death in homicide investigations. Organisms (invertebrates) colonize the carrion in a predictable sequence in terrestrial and buried scenarios. This sequence is different if the body is submerged in a lake or stream habitat. This sequence of organisms colonizing the carrion, or corpse, can be used to determine time since submergence, which may aid in determining time since death. This research will be valuable in criminal investigations currently pending, as well as in the future.

This collection includes All Night, Bed and Breakfast, The Clear-Out, and Love You to Death.
