This text deals with some of the issues of site specificity, and while Kwon's approach also deals with land art, I think it's still a worthwhile read.
This is a great overview of public art from a populist perspective, and also has a great bibliography-lots of additional resources!
Lovely prose on all things language and linguistics. All of his books are great.
Puts grammar in historical context. Standard English changes, folks, so loosen up a bit.
Milgrom's book is a fantastic account of her journalistic travels through the world of taxidermy and its eccentric inhabitants. Ranging from the American Museum of Natural History to the workshop of Damien Hirst, it also includes fascinating descriptions of the now-defunct Mr. Potter's Museum of Curiosities.
Neat view of the social makeup of people in a society, and how connectors operate.
Perfect step-by-step guide to writing a great grant proposal. It's very accessible and DIY. Good for anyone from a beginner to a seasoned development associate.
Thompson has done more homework on Thai cuisine than many native chefs, and this book is a convenient compendium of well researched recipes. They're largely true to their origins--definitely not Thai-by-way-of-[Insert "hip" American city here]--making it a trustworthy English-language guide for those who like their Thai food unfiltered.
"Stories in Stone New York" is sort of like an AIA Guide to NYC for cemeteries. It's a cohesive almanac of cemeteries in the city with compact, but well-researched, descriptions for each.
"Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery" is where I would recommend starting if you're interested in exploring cemeteries in NYC, as Green-Wood is definitely the most beautiful, as well as the best documented in terms of walks and famous graves, cemetery in the five boroughs. The history of the place and how ties into New York's development as a metropolis is fascinating.
"Silent Cities" is a great place to start if you're interested in how cemeteries in America have transformed from churchyards to the sprawling rural gardens to the modern memorial parks we see today. It has intriguing details about individual cemeteries in the States, as well as an intelligent general overview. Lots of nice creepy cemetery photography, too.
A very comprehensive book with super detailed instructions for making many different kinds of books from simple to complex. I taught myself a lot of the structures I know from it. And if that's not enough, there are four other books in this five volume series, each with more book structures!
Blood, Bones & Butter gives great insight into the not-so-linear or clear-cut path, full of seemingly various and random life experiences, that sometimes leads the way to great chefdom.
Reading this now in preparation for Brook's upcoming class. A really fun, amazing series of anecdotes on some of history's most interesting (and largely forgotten) characters.
