101 Great Games for Kids: Active, Bible-Based Fun for Christian Education by Jolene L. Roehlkepartain, ISBN 0687087953

This volume, a collection of 101 active games for Christian education programs suitable for children ages 3 -- 12, will help dispel any boredom. Divided into four sections, 101 Great Games for Kids brings Scripture to life through active games that get kids up and moving rather than sitting in their chairs.

Cast-Iron Furniture by Georg Himmelheber, ISBN 0856674621

Iron seemed to be suitable for everything - from railway lines to steam kettles, jewellery and furniture. Beds, chairs, tables, benches and small items of furniture made of cast-iron, the most modern and versatile material of its time, were available due to its durability and low price.
The art-historical development of cast-iron furniture has long been neglected and this book offers a systematic illustrated record of the many diverse forms featuring two major names: Karl Friedrich Schinkel of Germany and Christopher Dresser of the United Kingdom.
With over 460 types of iron furniture presented among 160 pages of illustrations, Georg Himmelheber provides furniture experts and dealers, designers and collectors with the first complete and international survey of this very popular furniture. This book is also an important contribution to the cultural history of the 19th century. Cast-Iron Furniture by Georg Himmelheber, ISBN 0856674621

Op to Pop: Furniture of the 1960s by Cara Greenberg, ISBN 0821225162

From Joe Colombo's "kitchen in a cart" to Olivier Mourgue's Djinn chairs from 2001: A Space Odyssey, from the lipstickted touch shaped like Marilyn Monroe's lips to Eero Aarnio's space-age Ball chair, sixties furniture still has the power to statle and to delight. Op to Pop is a thorough guide whose original, readable scholarship places sixties furnishings in their social and design contexts, sorting the good from the fad and providing names, dates, and other documentation. From fashion to film, the sixties refuse to fade away and for good reason, as Greenberg proves. A fun, colorful survey of the design of the decade, Op to Pop will enthrall those who lived through the sixties as well as those who are discovering those years a new.
