《中国美术院校教材：潘思同水彩画直观教材选》所介绍的是潘思同20世纪五、六十年代在浙江美术学院水彩画教学中使用的部分直观教材。所谓直观教材就是上课时的图示和示范作品。由于上课的教学时间有限，不可能在课堂里做大量示范，所以在每堂课上课之前，作为备课，潘思同都要针对一、二个问题，画一些直观教材，上面配备必要的文字说明，一方面为了节省时间，另一方面也为了取得视觉效果。在直观教材中，有些图本身就是独立的作品，因此，下课后学生常常争先恐后地拿去观摩、临摹。对这些直观教材，学生反应很好，有些青年教师也常借去作为参考。当时许多同行建议让这些教材印刷出版，但由于当时彩色印刷费用高昂，会大大提高书价，而且印刷质量也大有问题，如果采用黑白图版则大大削弱教材的直观效果，因而始终未能出版面世1993年，“

Michelangelo’s classic David is one of the world’s most recognizable sculptures, a masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance that is also a pop-culture icon. In Michelangelo’s David, this timeless work is presented in an intriguing new light, with breathtaking original photographs and insightful writing.

One of the earliest of Verdi's operas remaining in the repertory, Rigoletto was a success from its first production in 1851 in Venice. Based on Victor Hugo's Le Roi s'amuse, the libretto appealed to Verdi immensely: in later years, he claimed it was the best that had ever come his way. In the story of the tragic jester and his daughter, Verdi found a subject magnificently suited to his talents. Grove's Dictionary notes: "The music is like a flood, carrying all before it. It is remarkable for bold characterization, for superbly effective dramatic strokes and for variety of eolour and atmosphere." Those qualities have kept the work in the forefront of the operatic repertoire for more than a century. This Dover volume, reproduced from the standard edition, offers a golden opportunity to legions of opera lovers to have the complete score of this masterpiece in an attractive, inexpensive format.

This is both a practical and theoretical guide to the visualization techniques used by contemporary product designers, including freehand sketching, digital rendering, information graphics, and presentation skills. Hundreds of hand-drawn sketches and computer models have been specially created to demonstrate critical geometry and show how to develop sketches into finished illustrations. Practical tutorials give guidance in creating simple and complex forms, as well as rendering and providing context using scenarios and storyboards. Insightful case studies of leading designers illustrate the full range of different visualization options available.
One of Bach's principal activities during his years in Leipzig was his direction, between 1729 and 1741, of the local collegium rnusicum, a voluntary association of professional musicians and university students who gave regular weekly public concerts. For these popular occasions, Bach composed the six concertos included in this volume. Important historically because they are among the first keyboard concertos ever written, they continue to be studied and performed because of their rare and exuberant musical qualities. The six concertos are: Concerto in C Minor for 2 Harpsichords, BWV 1060 Concerto in C Major for 2 Harpsichords, BWV 1061 Concerto in C Minor for 2 Harpsichords, BWV 1062 Concerto in D Minor for 3 Harpsichords, BWV 1063 Concerto in C Major for 3 Harpsichords, BWV 1064 Concerto in A Minor for 4 Harpsichords, BWV 1065 Several of the concertos are based on works Bach had previously composed for other instrumental combinations.
