Since publication of the first edition of the Serials Cataloging Handbook, a number of major changes have occurred in the world of serials cataloging, making it more complex than ever. As a result, the definitive guide to cataloging and classifying serials has been completely updated and expanded. This thoroughly revised edition incorporates the changes in serials cataloging resulting from the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, Second Edition, 1988 revision, along with the 1993 Amendments. Other changes have resulted from the LCR Rule Interpretations (LCRI) as well as enhancements to the USMARC formats, the implementation of Format Integration in 1995 (phase I) and in 1996 (phase II), and from the need to provide access to various types of electronic resources. The Serials Cataloging Handbook, Second Edition merges the new rules and interpretations into a case method and problem-centered approach to discussing situations encountered in actual serials cataloging. This comprehensive revision covers all aspects of current serials cataloging practice and methods, and all of the previous edition's sections have been updated with new examples and problems. Anyone who needs to know the latest rules on serials cataloging and how to apply them everyday, will consider the new Serials Cataloging Handbook a must-have volume.

Through the 1940s and 1950s, PAGON (Progressive Architects Group Oslo Norway) was an alliance of young CIAM-affiliated Norwegian architects known for their innovative joint projects. As a group, PAGON went on to become largely overlooked in the history of modern architecture, even though its individual members – which included Sverre Fehn, Jørn Utzon, Arne Korsmo, and Christian Norberg-Schulz – became defining figures in Scandinavian and international modernism. This book tells the story of PAGON for the first time, offering an impressive account of the group's projects, buildings, and approach, and demonstrating why PAGON's projects are ripe for reappraisal in the international history of modern architecture. It shows how PAGON's architecture constitutes a unique continuity between the Scandinavian functionalism of the late 1930s and the modern movement in the US, and an important transitional stage before the emergence of the better-known neo-avant-garde groups within CIAM and Team 10. Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked modernist architects, this book fills a gap in our understanding of mid-century modern architecture and highlights the internationally diverse nature of the modern movement.

This book examines the impact of states and their policies on visual art. States shape the role of art and artists in society, influence the development of audiences, support artistic work, and even affect the very nature of artistic production. The book contrasts developments in the United States with art policies in Britain and in the social democratic states of Norway and Sweden. In addition, it analyzes revealing transitions - the changes brought about in East Germany after unification and the experiences of artists who left the Soviet Union for the west. The result is a significant contribution to the sociology and the political economy of art.
