The Ruins of Palmyra and Baalbek

Volumes I-II Robert Wood First published in the 1750s, The Ruins of Palmyra and The Ruins of Baalbek contain over 100 engravings of the classical architecture of these two ancient cities. The volumes were unique in providing systematic discussion of the sites' physical and human geography alongside two kinds of pictorial evidence: views of the ancient sites and detailed plans, with measurements, of architectural features. The volumes had great influence upon Neoclassical architecture in Britain, Europe and North America. This new edition features reproductions of all the engravings from the original publications and includes a new introduction by noted scholar, Benjamin Anderson (Cornell University, USA).

South Korean Film

Critical and Primary Sources 3-Volume Set Edited by Hyon Joo Yoo, The University of Vermont, USA South Korean Film: Critical and Primary Sources is an essential three-volume reference collection representing three distinct phases in the development of South Korean national cinema. Volume I covers the “Golden Age”, referring to the cinematic era that covers the postKorean War period from 1955 to 1972. Volume II comprises the phase that produced what critics sum up as New Korean Cinema produced since the 1990s, and which has led to the commercial and critical success of recent South Korean cinema. Volume III, while continuing the thematic and stylistic development distinct in New Korean Cinema, calls for a new epochal conceptualization that emphasizes South Korean film’s global location.
