The Beautiful Necessity: Essays on Architecture. by Bragdon, Claude.;
A noted American architect of the early twentieth century discusses universal principles behind the harmonious forms and proportions of ancient and modern buildings. Seven essays by Claude Bragdon offer a master class in the architectural union of art, beauty, and science. His observations and analyses encompass a tremendous variety of buildings, from Gothic cathedrals to Giotto's Campanile to the Taj Mahal, and his examples extend far beyond architecture to the natural symmetry found in the feathers of a peacock's tail, snowflakes, plants, and the human face.""Art in all its manifestations is.

Snowflake Bentley / by Martin, Jacqueline Briggs,author.(CARDINAL)343801; Azarian, Mary,illustrator.(CARDINAL)525994; Houghton Mifflin Company,publisher.(CARDINAL)143617;
A biography of a self-taught scientist who photographed thousands of individual snowflakes in order to study their unique formations. Snow in Vermont is as common as dirt. Why would anyone want to photograph it? From the time he was a small boy, Wilson Bentley thinks of ice crystals as small miracles, and he determines that one day his camera will capture for others their extraordinary beauty. Often misunderstood in his time, he took pictures that even today reveal two important truths about snowflakes: first, that no two are alike, and second, that each one is startlingly beautiful. His story gives children insight into a soul who had not only a scientist's vision and perseverance, but a clear passion for the wonders of nature.--Publisher information.Elementary Grade.AD830LAD830LAccelerated Reader ARAccelerated ReaderAccelerated ReaderReading Counts RCReading Counts!ALA Notable Children's Book, 1999Caldecott Medal, 1999Outstanding Science Trade Books for Students K- 2 Award, 1999
