Architectural Digest at 100: A Century of Style

Product Information

E., in the 20 years since the publication of the first edition of this text, has established himself as one of the most insightful interpreters of ‘visuality’ in the ancient world. The period which the book treats is one of profound change in the Roman world: developments in the imperial system, the shift of power away from Rome itself, and (of course) the rise of Christianity and the decline of polytheism. E. reacts against a narrative of decline from the idealised ‘classical’: rather than seeing the rise of Christian art as a rupture with the pagan past, he shows a gradual process of adaptation and natural development. Indeed, there are remarkable continuities despite (and sometimes, precisely because of and in reaction to) great social and political upheaval. The book, therefore, is less about the technical development of art over the period, and more an exploration of the visual in cultural history. None of the preceding paragraph is a quote, just an effort to imitate somewhat the feel of the text. But I will also quote from the actual text, as follows: Written in the elevated quality that only the editors of Architectural Digest can master so well, [this] is the world's newest guide to the best and brightest designs to inspire your next big home project." -- The Editorialist Written in the elevated quality that only the editors of Architectural Digest can master so well, AD at 100: A Century of Style is the world's newest guide to the best and brightest designs to inspire your next big home project."--The Editorialist

For some peculiar reason, Goodreads (which seems to me to be getting more cranky and less accurate) currently (in 2023) lists these two books as by a different "Avram Davidson," one who only published these two books. We all know what advertising is: paying a fee to have your product placed in front of potential customers. But how can ads help new authors find readers? And once an author is established, how can ads help grow a reading audience over time?

A survey of how Americans have lived—and how American life has changed—over the past 100 years.”— Los Angeles Times This is volume 1 of 2. It is a collection of the unpublished and uncollected short stories of Avram Davidson. The introduction starts with very helpful instructions. 'If you have never read an Avram Davidson story, put this book down immediately and buy a copy of the "Avram Davidson Treasury". Start there." The book is really a survey of how Americans have lived – and how American life has changed – over the past 100 years.”— Los Angeles Times At Reedsy, we recognize how valuable a solid marketing strategy can be for authors, which is why we’ve added book advertising specialists to the marketplace. They know these platforms and they’ve run successful advertising campaigns before. They can help you figure out what type of advertising is most likely to work for your book (it will heavily depend on your genre and price point), and they can then help you get started with a campaign — or multiple campaigns — of your own.

Yes, absolutely. There are wonderful stories in that book. My favorite of the Davidson novels that I have read is The Phoenix and the Mirror. It is fantasy, as is much of Davidson's work. Some of the other novels are science fiction. I very much like most of his non-fiction, but I realize that many people would not. Art served to unify and give direction to the diverse cultures of the empire, whether that was through religious iconography, symbols of political power, or even the depiction of the beard. Hadrian started the trend for facial hair, and, as the author reveals, the fashion ‘caught the mood of the times’. But art was not created just from the top down. Provincial influence remained strong and was strengthened further as the centre of imperial power shifted from Rome to cities on the edge of empire. Art and architecture incorporated the styles of the East, which became increasingly significant with the rise of Eastern mystery religions, in particular Christianity.
