Samenvatting:The specimens, as things of beauty, are greatly to be prized…. The workis valuable and unique." -The Boston Globe, on the original editionCulled and assembled by Romeyn Beck Hough between 1888 and 1913 in whatstill remains and stunning and unparalleled achievement, American Woods-originally published in 14 volumes, with actual specimens mounted oncard stock-is a work of breathtaking beauty that has set the standard forstudy of trees and wood. TASCHEN's Wood Book reproduces, in painstakingfacsimile, all of the specimen pages from the original volumes; for thispurpose we have obtained the use of an extremely rare original set ofvolumes in very good condition, with minimal damage to the wood cuts. Foreach tree, three different cross-section cuts of wood are represented(radial, horizontal, and vertical), demonstrating the particularcharacteristics of the grain and the wealth of colors and textures to befound among the many different wood types. Also included in this specialedition are lithographs by Charles Sprague Sargent of the leaves and nutsof most trees, as well as texts describing the trees' geographicalorigins and physical characteristics. Interior designers, craftsmen,nature enthusiasts, and artists alike will enjoy this beautifulcollection of wood samples which includes many trees that are now veryrare or completely extinct.

The first and most authoritative work of its kind, this book tells the complete story of wood type, beginning with the history of wood as a printing material, the development of decorated letters and large letters, and the invention of machinery for mass-producing wood letters. The 19th-century heyday of wood type is explored in great detail, including all aspects of design, manufacture, and marketing, and the evolution of styles. Many related trades interacted with wood type production; the book examines the influence of lithography, letterpress, metal-plate and wood engraving, sign painting and calligraphy, poster printing, and type-founding.

A brief epilogue on the use of wood letters in the 20th century documents a curious phenomenon: a hundred-year gap between the original wood letter designers and contemporary graphic designers who once again realized the rich design qualities of wood type. The figure-ground properties of many 19th-century wood types show a visual sophistication uncommon in any of the arts of the period.

Long out of print, the book is still regarded by scholars and designers as an invaluable resource for a rich legacy of typographic art. More than 600 specimens of wood type are classified and annotated, as are more than 100 specimens of complete fonts. This reissue includes a new foreword by David Shields, Design Curator of the Rob Roy Kelly Wood Type Collection at the University of Texas at Austin, discussing the renewed interest in the subject since the mid-1990s as well as ongoing research into the history of wood type. In addition, the reissue includes the essay "Search and Research" by Rob Roy Kelly about the many years he spent pursuing wood type fonts, researching their origins, and writing and producing his book.

"Wood is renewable and sustainable, solid and attractive. Wood can be bent and shaped to the most modern of designs. It is the material of the moment for contemporary architecture and this new volume allows readers to get a glimpse of the most exciting and dynamic new uses of wood in architecture from all over the world. Like earthen architecture, the use of wood is almost as ancient as building itself. The columns of Greek temples are stylized trees. Today’s wooden buildings do all kinds of surprising things, and most of all, they are as “green” as they come.

Not so very long ago, some might have considered wood a material of the past, long since replaced by more modern components such as concrete and steel. The truth is radically different. Bolstered by new manufacturing techniques and ecological benefits, wood has seen a fabulous resurgence in contemporary construction. This double-volume survey explores how architects around the world have created and invented with this elementary material. Featuring follies, very large buildings, and ambitious urban renewal schemes, it celebrates the diverse deployment of wood from architects in China, Chile, and everywhere in between. We see how wood can at once transform urban spaces, as in the Metropol Parasol in Seville by Jürgen Mayer H, and allow for sensitive interventions in natural environments, as at the Finnish Forest Research Institute by SARC Architects, or the Termas Geométricas Hot Springs Complex by Germán del Sol. True to all Taschen architecture tomes, the book pays tribute to many emerging international talents, as well as to such renowned figures as Tadao Ando to Renzo Piano. It celebrates each of these architect's vision and innovation, as well as investigating the techniques, trends, and principles that have informed their work with wood. It examines the computer guided milling that has allowed for novel new forms, the responsible harvesting that allows wood to align with our environmental concerns, and, above all, wood's enduring appeal to our senses and our psyche, comforting hectic modern lives with a sense of Arcadian beauty and simplicity.
