Guy Bourdin's fashion photography placed him at the vanguardof fashion photography in the second half of the twentieth century;today he is hailed as one of the finest fashion photographers ofthe twentieth century. From his first provocative editorial featurein 1955, which pictured haute couture alongside butchered cowheads, Bourdin pushed fashion photography into then-unchartedterritory with his volatile mixture of violence, sex andsurrealism. In Between delves into Bourdin's career,charting the course of his artistic development from the 1950s tothe 1980s via over 200 superbly printed black-and-white and colorimages. It also reassembles many original editorial layouts as theywere first published, in magazines such as French Vogue , British Vogue and Harper's Bazaar , offering a newcritical contexts for approaching his work-for Bourdin tailored hiscompositions to the constraints of the printed page, bothconceptually and graphically, and the mirror motif famously centralto his work finds its formal

Hector Berlioz (1803-1869), considered the father of modern orchestration, possessed an intuitive musical genius all the more remarkable for his limited formal musieal education. A brilliant colorist, a master of the unexpected rhythmic break, he brought a new symphonie richness to Romantic tousle. Both danmed and venerated by his eontemporaries-Mendelssohn considered him devoid of talent, Paganini declared him the one true heir to the spirit of Beethoven-Berlioz seems to have sought in music a way to soothe and give voice to the turbulent psychological instabilities and contradictions which more than once brought him to despair. He pioneered in the development of what has eome to be ealled "program musie"-i.e., instrumental music with an extranmsieal signifieanee. He strove to communicate musically the experiences, psychological themes, scenic de*ions and literary allusions more commonly associated with the confessional writings of Romantic poets. This newest addition to Dover's critically

Fumihiko Maki's many buildings are characterized by a commitment to the ongoing project of Modernism as well as a humanist concern for the experience of the people who inhabit them. Both a thoughtful writer and a prolific builder, Maki was a founding member of the Metabolists, a highly influential group of Japanese architects in the 1960s who redefined how designers thought about large-scale urban planning. His own work, while sometimes vast in scale, is consistently responsive to the individual user. His 50-year exploration and expansion of the Modernist vocabulary has resulted in buildings that are technologically inventive, deceptively simple, and which carefully balance lightness and dignity. This book contains over 40 projects, extensively illustrated with drawings, photos, models, sketches, diagrams and computer renderings. These include the Spiral Building in Tokyo, the Fujisawa Municipal Gymnasium, the Kaze-No-Oka Crematorium in Nakatsu, and a tower currently under construction for the World Trade Cen
