Harvard lecturer of design Denman Waldo Ross discusses the attributes, temperature and tone of the colors, in a manner comprehensive to amateur and professional painters alike. A superb introductory text to color theory and art methodology, The Painter's Palette consists of brief yet salient information, presented alongside illustrative charts. The quantity and quality of the light present in each color is crucial to artists seeking to imbue a work with a certain mood or ambiance, or create phenomena such as shadows or rays of light being upon certain objects. Ross classifies and scales the colors with a simple, effective system whose utility cannot be doubted. Together with his educational books on art theory and composition, Ross worked as a lecturer and later as professor of art in Harvard University. His interests ranged through the history of art, such that he was appointed as trustee of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Although he died in 1935, Ross's works remain both relevant and useful to artists in the modern day: his incisive style is suitable as a qualitative supplemental reference for amateurs, students, and the experienced.

This book takes a view of New England's landscapes that goes beyond picture postcard-ready vistas of white-steepled churches, open pastures, and tree-covered mountains. Its chapters describe, for example, the Native American presence in the Maine Woods; offer a history of agriculture told through stone walls, woodlands, and farm buildings; report on the fragile ecology of tourist-friendly Cape Cod beaches; and reveal the ethnic stereotypes informing Colonial Revivalism. Taken together, they offer a wide-ranging history of New England's diverse landscapes, stretching across two centuries. The book shows that all New England landscapes are the products of human agency as well as nature. The authors trace the roles that work, recreation, historic preservation, conservation, and environmentalism have played in shaping the region, and they highlight the diversity of historical actors who have transformed both its meaning and its physical form. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, including history, geography, environmental studies, literature, art history, and historic preservation, the book provides fresh perspectives on New England's many landscapes: forests, mountains, farms, coasts, industrial areas, villages, towns, and cities. Illustrated, and with many archival photographs, it offers readers a solid historical foundation for understanding the great variety of places that make up New England.
