...exhibit's extraordinary range of colors, from the full lush tangerine to white that shines with the intensity of the noon sun on Himalayan snow, comes partly from Persia (where shades of muted pistachio and oleander pink originated), partly from the British raj (all those brown and khaki earth tones) and partly too from what Curator Singh calls "the fugitive color palette"--the homespun miracle that would occur when a villager, out of necessity, dyed and redyed the same piece of cloth. Serendipity and splendor then: fashion as tradition. Fashion, indeed, as the warp of the social fabric...

...dynasties. Cheops, Tutankhamen, eleven Ramseses, a dozen Ptolemys and Cleopatra enliven a history that contains the seeds of the Western imagination. Polish Professor Michalowski links chapters on anthropology, language, society and craft with more than 100 pages of diagrams and maps.

...fewer local brews. Yet, as The English Pub by Rob Anderson (Viking; 111 pages; $25) makes intoxicatingly clear, a good deal of old English charm remains. More than 30,000 public houses continue to offer wayfarers in England an inimitable hospitality, glowingly captured in Photographer Andy Whipple's color pictures. Pub exteriors may go from Tudor austerity to Victorian baroque, and the signs swing from the Cat and Custard Pot Inn to the Parson's Nose.
