 Symbol Sourcebook: An Authoritative Guide to International Graphic Symbols Famed industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss recognized the importance of symbols in communicating more quickly and effectively; for many years he and his staff collected and codified graphic symbols as they are used in all walks of life throughout the world.  State Names, Seals, Flags, and Symbols Chapters on mottoes, flowers, trees, birds, songs, holidays, and license plates are just a sampling of what is covered, and the format is such that the concisely written material can be found as expeditiously as possible. DK Handbooks: Flags A handy little volume that provides attractive illustrations and brief information for more than 300 flags, including all the U.S. state and Canadian provincial flags. Flags of the World The selection of flags pictured in this book is fascinatingly diverse. Here's a sampling of entities whose flags are depicted: the province of Simbu in Papua New Guinea; Santa Clara County, California; the City of London, England; the Solidarity movement in Poland; the Getty Oil Company; the Smithsonian Institute; and many, many more. |
