Faux Real: Genuine Leather and 200 Years of Inspired FakesJoseph Henry Press, 2007 - Всего страниц: 288 "From formica, vinyl siding, and particle board to cubic zirconium, knockoff designer bags, and genetically altered food, inspired fakes of every description fly the polyester pennant of a brave new man-made world. Each represents an often passionate journey of scientific, technical, and entrepreneurial innovation. Faux Real explores this borderland of the almost-real, the ersatz, and the fake, illuminating a centuries-old culture war between the authentic and the imitative."--BOOK JACKET. |
