Great new stuff in the DVD section

This week I added four of my very favorite titles to our DVD collection: Pyramid, Roman City, Castle and Cathedral. These are all video adaptations of the books by David Macaulay, in which he illustrates the construction of all of these through his wonderful drawings and clear explanations. He uses a fictional setting to describe real techniques: the Roman city, for example, never existed but is a kind of composite of what Roman provincial towns were like and how they were built. I have shown these every year in my art history classes and can't wait to do so here. If you want a sneak preview, though, they are ready and waiting for you to watch them.
