Crafting a Modern World: The Architecture and Design of Antonin and Nomi Raymond

Still, it's curious that we keep hearing the same names again and again while so much inspiring work waits for its "moment" to be discovered. Antonin and Nomi Raymond are now ready for their close-up. Crafting a Modern World is the first comprehensive book in English on the duo that creatively transformed design from 1917 to 1966. Best known for a series of finely detailed structures built in Japan during the 1930s, the Raymonds had prolific careers that embraced designs from factories, office buildings, churches, and schools to furniture, fabrics, and graphic design.

The approach to studying and comparing religion taken by Nancy Clemmons, SNJM is to expand an ever-widening circle that begins with the teen's understanding of their own religious roots.
Beginning with Judaism and Christianity, Clemmons widens the circle further to discuss first another major monotheistic faith (Islam) before turning to other ancient religions of the world (Hinduism, Sikism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Shintoism)...
