Summary:
Coral & Tusk’s nature-inspired embroideries evoke joy with their whimsical animals, intricate habitats, and organic forms. Housley’s original designs are beloved by interior designers and design enthusiasts alike for their endearing imagery on table linens, pillows, and other decorative objects, such as their innovative pocket pillows filled with soft removable animal pals, seasonal decor for every holiday, a fox tooth fairy doll complete with felt pouch, and more. This book presents the alphabet via one adorable animal at a time, from A is for Anteater to Z is for Zebra. Each animal helps to form the shape of their letter. The range of animals is a wide and appealing menagerie, from F is for Fox and L is for Lemur to N is for Narwhal and V is for Vampire Bat. The lively creatures spring from one of Coral & Tusk’s most beloved designs, its alphabet quilt. Beautifully designed, the book makes the perfect shower present, baby gift, or birthday gift for a budding reader.

Summary:
A quirky trend of building designs inspired by bizarre animals has emerged in the last few years. Why and how has this happened? Is it because of new technical possibilities in materials and structural engineering? Or is the answer to be found in new social preoccupations in science? After a brief look at the historical precedents, the book focuses on contemporary examples from around the world and shows the various ways in which the organic/animal forms inform the architectural ones. Featured architects include Frank Gehry, Michael Sorkin, and Greg Lynn.
