A richly illustrated sourcebook of two-dimensional pattern and three dimensional ornamentation, presenting more than 1,000 historic and contemporary examples from around the world.

The wealth of surface pattern and three-dimensional ornamentation in the many objects that enrich our lives is testament to the inventiveness of designers and craftspeople around the globe and throughout history.

This richly illustrated, easy-to-navigate sourcebook presents more than 1,000 historic and contemporary examples of pattern and ornamentation from around the world, each one succinctly identified and explained. Arranged thematically, it is unique among pattern books, as it includes examples not only of surface pattern but also of three-dimensional ornamentation and embellishment.

Two-dimensional pattern is ubiquitous, no matter what the age of an object or where it was created. From Japanese kimono and William Morris fabrics to Chinese porcelain and contemporary furniture, such works reveal humanity's unceasing desire to combine pattern with design. Just as prevalent are examples of three-dimensional embellishments that go far beyond the requirements of their practical use: an acrylic handbag has a carved motif of insects and wildflowers, a cobalt-blue pottery ewer has a dragon's-head spout and an early 19th-century fruit plate is shaped like a seashell.

Designers working today are as fascinated and inspired by pattern and ornament as they have always been. This expertly compiled selection will appeal to designers, artists, illustrators and other creatives from all disciplines as well as anyone interested in visual and material culture.

great book! Very informative and helped me clarify My Views
Format: Paperback
Excellent read. Informative and thought-provoking and helped me clarify my position, which is a Believers need to continue in his sanctification. It's not optional as some teach. We cannot rely or just rest on our initial experience of sanctification which is our justification. We are to "pursue Holiness (sanctification) without which no one will see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14). too many teachers are going too far and making scriptures say what they don't say. We need to look at the full counsel of God. The Bible teaches the goodness and severity of God (Romans 11:22). The Bible is full full of warnings for believers not to go back and defile themselves and practice unrighteousness as those that do will not inherit (or enter) the kingdom of God. Ephesians 5, Galatians 5, 1st Corinthians 6, Romans 11, the whole book of Hebrews, the hold of 2nd Peter, 1st John 3, Jude, Revelation 21 and 22 to name only a few. We can't cut out or ignore the warnings. As you read the five views of sanctification be aware of those that think you can actually stop at justification.! and that you will only lose Rewards if you don't continue in your sanctification. The whole Bible is shouting repentance and continued faith. Jesus said, he that endures to the end will be saved. She also Romans 1:16, John 3:16( love this purse and the Romans 1:16 use the present participle in the which means "believing" or ongoing faith) Hebrews 10: 36-39. We have got to let God's word speak and believe what we read not read what we already believe

Good teaching on intricate yopics
Format: Kindle
I bought this Kindle edition as a textbook for a Master's level class. The comparison and contrasts of the various theologies are well treated and insightful. I highly recommend this book.

Good introductory text.
Format: Paperback
As is obvious from the title, five of the major Protestant evangelical views of the doctrine of sanctification are presented. An adherent of each one presents a chapter explaining their position, and each of the other four present their response. What stands out immediately on this topic is how much agreement there is. There is minimal disagreement and it primarily stems from the differences in soteriology and pneumatology that one would expect between Reformed, Wesleyan, and Pentecostal theologians. Although I expected a very tedious, detailed theological argument, each of the presentations were quite clear. Not every position is defended with equal skill, but each author explains his position well. However, I must admit that my understanding of the distinctions was helped more by the responses at the end of the chapters than the chapters themselves. As a side note, it is interesting to observe how the approach of each author tends to reflect the strengths/weaknesses of their particular theological disposition. Good book from an excellent series. Anyone interested in refining their understanding of this doctrine should read it.
