The French Riviera of the 1920s and early ’30s was a haven for artists and writers from the far reaches of the world. This book revitalizes the now-legendary tale of personalities such as Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Picasso, Picabia, Cocteau, and Gerald and Sara Murphy as they are caught between a desire for creation, the quest for happiness, and the looming darkness of World War II. Extraordinary images taken from personal archives reanimate the lifestyles and artwork of some of the most influential artists of the twentiety century.

They also adopt a very pragmatic mindset, taking the point of view that appropriate practice is highly contextual. Research can provide us with evidence, but not necessarily conclusions.
Beyond the philosophical underpinnings, 'Making Software' outlines research results in a variety of areas. A good intro. However, this book ought not be in little hands! The bulk of the book is a common, unimaginative format of "A is for", etc. I would have to disagree with anyone who says it is a dying language. However outside my window there is a joyful abundance of spring migration arrivals, and I'd much rather be learning about a songbird or two. I rented this book for a class I enjoyed the subjects discussed and the way they were related back to artworks (past and current). I was looking for a foundation that would aid me in my readings and church attendance and I now feel like I have a guide that is so easy to follow. One of the better reference books out there. well done.. The suppre
