Myth: Scandanavian and Germanic Studies is an academic book published by Cambridge Scholars Press in England discussing the mythology of not only ancient, but modern Germanic and Scandanavian people. The authors wanted a cover that would evoke the modern, 20th century mythology that has evolved.
The resulting cover is an homage to Herbert Bayer's work while a member of the staff in the Bauhaus, the short-lived, but fundamentally influential German art school so hated by the Nazis. It uses the dynamically rotated, rigid grid structure that characterizes much Constructivist design, down to the bar code on the back.
