Publisher's Notes
Pottery was for the patio, porcelain for the dinner table until the kilns of California began mass producing and distributing imaginative, brightly colored tableware in the late 1920s. Today, the inventive forms and playful shapes of California pottery make it a much sought after and highly prized collectible. Published to coincide with an exhibition at SF MOMA, CALIFORNIA POTTERY is the ultimate guide to the cultural forces and talented designers that shaped this movement. Their work includes not only the dishware we have come to associate with California, but also garden and agricultural pottery and iconic decorative tiles. Each piece reflects the flavor of the times from the sober Arts and Crafts style of the '20s right through to the aerodynamic Modernist styles of the '50s. With beautiful photographs featuring hundreds of unique pieces, CALIFORNIA POTTERY: FROM MISSIONS TO MODERNISM is an exquisite gallery showcasing the beauty and originality of California pottery.

Twentieth-Century Artillery
by Ian Hogg
Future military historians will surely look back upon the 20th century and say, "There was the zenith of artillery." Though it retains its importance on the battlefield, for sheer diversity of type and multiplicity of design, for size, numbers, and tactical influence, the likes of artillery as it stood in 1945 will never again be seen. Beginning with the guns that pounded the trenches in World War I, and the giant calibers of "Big Bertha," "Schalnke Emma," and the Paris gun, go through the century's most important hand-held and anti-tank devices, anti-aircraft guns, and World War II field pieces right up to the latest tactical and strategic missiles.
