BOND Photographed by Terry O’Neill Terry O’Neill; edited by James Clarke Terry O’Neill was given his first chance to photograph Sean Connery as James Bond in the film Goldfinger. From that moment, O’Neill’s association with Bond was made. It was O’Neill who captured gritty and roguish pictures of Connery on set, and it was O’Neill who framed the super-suave Roger Moore in Live and Let Die. His images of Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore are also important, celebrating the vital role of women in the James Bond world. But it is Terry O’Neill’s casual, on-set photographs of a mischievous Connery walking around the casinos of Las Vegas or Roger Moore dancing on a bed with co-star Madeline Smith that show the other side of the world’s most recognizable spy. Terry O’Neill opens his archive to give readers – and viewers – the chance to enter the dazzling world of James Bond. Lavish color and black and white images are complemented by insights from O’Neill, alongside a series of original essays on the world of James Bond by BAFTA-long listed film writer, James Clarke; and newly conducted interviews with a number of actors featured in O’Neill’s photographs.
Iconic portraits and contact sheets from Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, Live and Let Die, Golden Eye and the Bond spoof Casino Royale, published to coincide with the new James Bond film, No Time to Die.

Stones From the Inside Rare and Unseen Images Bill Wyman As soon as Bill Wyman was given a camera as a young boy, he quickly developed a passion for photography. After joining what would become the world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band, Wyman continued his hobby. When he didn’t have his bass, he had his camera. The result is an arresting, insightful and often poignant collection of photographs, showing his exclusive inside view of the band. From traveling to relaxing, backstage and on, Stones From the Inside is a unique view captured by a man who was there, every step of the way. Along with the images of the band at work and play, Wyman includes remarkable images of those along for the ride, from John Lennon, Eric Clapton, David Bowie and Iggy Pop to John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. To accompany his photographs, Wyman offers up wonderful insights, anecdotes and behind-thephoto stories, giving all of us a front-row seat and backstage pass to what it was like to be there, as music history was made as a member of The Rolling Stones.

Colonists, Citizens, Constitutions Creating the American Republic James Hrdlicka; Foreword by Ruth Bader Ginsburg Colonists, Citizens, Constitutions highlights documents that tell the story of American constitutionalism from the founding era through the turn of the twentieth century. Accompanying a major exhibition at the New-York Historical Society and the Museum of the American Revolution, the book features federal and state constitutional materials – including a rare, privately owned copy of the original 1787 US constitution – that offer essential windows onto the history of the United States. Remarkably numerous and impressively diverse, constitutions enabled Americans to create revolutionary governments of, by, and for the people. Weaving both well-known and less familiar documents into a compelling narrative, the accessible text reveals how Americans have exercised their constitutional powers to shape their communities and why democracy remains an on going process, one in which citizens must constantly strive to create ‘more perfect’ unions among themselves.

Nothing Has Changed Portraits of the US Larry Niehues & Andrew Pogany. Foreword by Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) “I’m proud to say I’m from the USA because I’ve really seen it with my own eyes – all the beauty and the destruction, the tradition and the innovation, the loud cities and the quiet little spaces.” – Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys). Larry Niehues, a French-born photographer who lives in the United States, traveled around the country for 5 years photographing modern day America while seeking out the continuing presence of a timeless post-war ‘old America’. Photographed using 35mm film, his portraits of people and iconic small town life (motels, diners, gas stations, cars), evoke mid-century American life in a way that is both authentic and powerful in the tradition of William Eggleston, Dennis Hopper, Bruce Davidson, and Robert Frank.

Kaiser Karl The Life of Karl Lagerfeld Raphaëlle Bacqué On the last morning of his life, Karl Lagerfeld’s only companion was Sébastien, his bodyguard and right-hand man. The king of fashion insisted on being cremated, along with his universally recognizable ‘gear’ – the dark glasses and high starched collar that served as a bastion for his secrets. It is only now that witnesses have begun to talk. Thus emerges the story of Karl Lagerfeld: his father’s past in the heart of wartime Germany, his rivalry with Yves Saint Laurent (enflamed by his only love, Jacques de Bascher) and the networks he forged with the biggest luxury manufacturers in the world as he compiled his vast fortune. Truly an unparalleled icon in the history of fashion, Lagerfeld’s legacy lives on today.

The Grotta Home by Richard Meier A Marriage of Architecture and Craft Edited by Tom Grotta A ‘vessel for living’ – such were the words Glenn Adamson used to describe this remarkable residence. Richard Meier designed the Grotta home to house Sandra and Louis Grotta’s collection of contemporary studio jewelry and significant works in wood, ceramic and fibre. The building was conceived around the collection, framing the objects within the open architecture, which comprises an equal blend of glass and concrete. Nature, visible from many vantage points, plays an essential supporting role. The Grotta Home by Richard Meier is rich in photographs of the collection and provides impressive insights into this exceptionally personal project. The accompanying essays afford the reader a greater sense of how the Grottas have not simply acquired art, but have immersed themselves in it.

Architecture as Space Research Yung Ho Chang Yung Ho Chang is famous for his innovative concepts and his experimental spirit when it comes to design. He strongly believes that creating a better spatial experience between people, buildings, and the city, as a whole is an important part of the design method. In his view, space is not an enclosed room, but rather a series of relationships. The very movement of people in a building has a certain influence on the surrounding space. While spatial experience is a personal thing, Chang believes that architects have a responsibility to set the direction. Containing more than 60 architecture projects from his impressive work portfolio with a particular focus on architecture and space design, this book explores Chang’s own investigations and research on space while also covering his unique design language.

New Houses in Asia Inspired Architecture and Interiors for the Modern World Edited by The Images Publishing Group
Space Variation: Louis I. Kahn Zhang Jing
VI Design for Children’s Spaces Joseph Sung
In architecture, as in many fields, the best method of learning is to learn from the experts. Here, author Zhang Jing, using modern drawing software, has redrawn the plans, elevations, sections, and axonometric drawings from 138 architectural works by the renowned Louis I. Kahn, one of the most important architects of the 20th century in the United States. In so doing, the author arrives at a new and objective perspective to understanding Kahn and his work, and creating an invaluable resource for future study. By working through and observing the sketches in a chronological order, Kahn’s spatial characteristics and variations can be seen in a holistic way.
Smart brand design and careful placement can do much to enhance a sense of identity and create customer loyalty, as well as providing striking and effective ways to attract attention. VI Design for Children’s Spaces provides an informative look at a wide range of contemporary VI (Visual Identity) design for a variety of children’s spaces all over the world. These include learning spaces (such as schools, after-school care, and kindergartens), as well as more general spaces such as a kids’ café, children’s hospitals, sports clubs, bookstores, and libraries for children. The designers analyze each design project to reveal the interplay of the design process.
This list of the best contemporary examples of modern designer houses in Asia charts important trends in modernity while providing a guide to how architects meet the challenges, and forming an important reference guide.
This book provides an innovative and intimate new look at Kahn and his architectural work.
This is a must-have book for designers who pay attention to VI design of children’s spaces and is also of interest to those who run or manage spaces for kids.

With Intention to Build The Unrealized Concepts, Ideas, and Dreams of Moshe Safdie Safdie Architects; text by Michael J. Crosbie Moshe Safdie explains that probably more than fifty percent of his work is unbuilt, and he considers his unbuilt work to be some of the most significant work he’s done! In this richly illustrated book, replete with detailed diagrams, sketches, models and studies, Moshe Safdie explains that for those who design in order to build, not succeeding in building is not a failurethere are many different reasons why things don’t get built – as they are part of the evolution of an architect’s work. This volume is a fascinating track through Safdie’s thoughts and career; also a historical reference of the social and political forces at play at the time. It is not only a treatise on Safdie’s unrealized concepts but also a wonderful account of how there is valuable heritage to be mined in the unbuilt.

O12 - Haus Frize Philipp von Matt For many years, artist Bernard Frize has lived in Paris in a bourgeois, typically French apartment with various fanciful elements. But now Swiss architect Philipp von Matt has built a residence and studio for him in Berlin’s rough city center, the complete opposite of his other home. The cathedral made of exposed concrete is an austere, massive structure with windows overlooking smoking chimneys. The exterior though, gives little hint of what to expect inside as the building gets narrower towards the rear and appears longer than it actually is. The use of raw wood throughout contrasts with its bare walls and the staircase, designed as an extended living room and reception hall, connects all four floors spectacularly. This book, for the first time, provides a complete overview of the building, presenting a wealth of texts, layouts, models, and architectural photographs.

Architecture of the 1950s to 1970s in the Ruhr Tim Rieniets, Christine Kämmerer, StadtBauKultur NRW The boom years from the 1950s to the 1970s were marked by a drive for innovation in the Ruhr district as well as in many other European regions. Modern buildings,while created as a visual expression of a hope for a better future are now falling into decay and seen as symbolic of failed social utopias. As a result, such architecture does not enjoy the appreciation it deserves. This guide explores the forgotten architectural gems of this period in the Ruhr district. Overall, it includes 54 structures, throughout 17 cities, all specially selected, photographed, and described for this publication. Together they offer a vivid and comprehensive panorama of their era.

Farmhouse by Lake Zurich Käferstein & Meister Käferstein & Meister The reconstruction plays with the given structural elements of the farmhouse and brings with a double circulation a diverse rhythm of movement into the house. The barn floor becomes a lofty entrance hall, the hayloft a summer room. The large kitchen on the ground floor and the wine cellar in the basement exceed the scale of the formerly small house. The rooms on the upper floors are rather compact, but by means of bilateral connections to neighboring rooms they were given second paths, which repeatedly allow axial references and transverse views. In the bedrooms built-in bed niches reflect the traditional rural alcoves.

Frei & Rezakhanlou De aedibus Heinz Wirz
The building on Oberwiesenstrasse draws upon a rich vein of traditional building methods, but these references are subtly interpreted. This is not a nostalgic or post-modern quotation, although the employment of rounded arches might at first glance lead us to think so. On closer inspection it is apparent that this building is rooted in a contemporary set of circumstances. The role brickwork plays as a cladding and the moments where it is stretched emphasize this point. But the stretcher courses of the typical wall conditions render the role brick plays most explicit. As Hans Kollhoff observed, with the economic and thermal demands made on contemporary construction, it would be inconceivable to make a brick wall in any other way, at least in the case of normative buildings.
In 2010, the two Lausanne architects Eric Frei and Kaveh Rezakhanlou produced an exceptional school facility in Chermignon, Lower Valais. Like a Greek temple, it has the power to combine the landscape, topography, urban morphology and building type. The architects have also designed further projects with great architectural qualities.

We had the opportunity to photograph 12 residences by Kahn and this issue illustrates the current state of these homes. From his first house designed before World War II, to the house completed as the last work during his lifetime, these projects are presented through images published for the first time, and original drawings. Also included are a series of drawings that were recently found in the basement of the Fisher House that document the design process over 5 different schemes to the final design. A transcription of a conversation with Mrs. Fisher describes his views on housing and architecture. This edition is notable for the number of rare interior views that show furnishings and inside of the homes.

a+u 11:06, 489 Geoffrey Bawa - Essence of Sri Lanka Edited by A+U Publishing Considered the foremost contemporary architect in Sri Lanka, Geoffrey Bawa’s work continues to have lasting influence on multiple generations of Asian architects. Working mainly in Sri Lanka and tropical Asia, he adapted vernacular elements, materials, and construction methodologies before current ideas of sustainability and climate-responsiveness came about. For him, the spatial and visual experiences of a building were far more important than its physical form. The result is an architecture that is responsive to its climate and landscape, with carefully orchestrated spaces blurring interior and exterior boundaries. The ability to combine local elements with contemporary designs has allowed his work to bridge seamlessly between vernacular traditions and modernity. Bawa’s projects are sensitive to their context and remain relevant to this day.

JA 114 Summer, 2019 Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP Edited by The Japan Architect The 114th issue of JA is the first monograph devoted to Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP and features 31 projects since its founding in 2002. From an early age, Nakamura was impressed with how architecture takes shape by building connections between various elements. This led to a design process that seeks to foster better relationships among people, between people and the local community, and people and nature. He achieves this through an analysis of climate, local industry, and landscape to create designs that connect with the behaviors and emotions of the inhabitants. This results in complex forms as in the housing project Dancing Trees, Singing Birds where existing trees are retained and become part of the design.

Kengo Kuma is a globally acclaimed Japanese architect whose prodigious output possesses an inherent respect and value of materials and environment, often creating a harmonious balance between building and landscape. He masterfully engages both architectural experimentation and traditional Japanese design with 21st-century technology, resulting in highly advanced yet beautifully simple, gentle, human-scaled buildings.

Mr Percy: Portrait Modeller in Coloured Wax The Miniatures and Tableaux of Samuel Percy Ruth Ord-Hume This is the first biography and reference book dedicated to Samuel Percy, a modeler who produced an impressive oeuvre of wax portraits and tableaux in the mid-to-late 18th and early 19th century. Based in part on the author’s own substantial collection of Percy waxes, this book follows Percy from his beginnings in Dublin, at the Dublin Society Drawing Schools, working with the famed statuary John Van Nost; to England, where he journeyed from town to town, putting advertisements in regional newspapers. As well as a chronological narrative of Percy’s life, this book commits an entire chapter to an area of his work that has never been studied before: his miniature tableaux. These portray various subjects, both religious and secular, from Christ on the Cross, to playing children. They are catalogued in an appendix, and almost 30 are illustrated. Based entirely on original research, Mr. Percy: Portrait Modeller in Coloured Wax features over 100 illustrations, celebrating both Percy’s accomplishments and the works of other modelers for comparison.

Wyndham Payne Design William Connolly/Paul Payne Wyndham Payne’s career as an illustrator began in the early 1920s, gathering momentum with a series of book illustrations for renowned Charing Cross publisher Cyril Beaumont. Working in the tradition of Claud Lovat Fraser – and others – Payne nurtured a reputation for freedom of line, illustrating books, calendars, greetings cards and advertisements, often with toys – soldiers, model theaters, and trains – as a subject. Aside from creating illustrations for the Beaumont Press, Payne was also commissioned by Oxford University Press and Hodder & Stoughton, among others. For The Bodley Head, he designed covers for Agatha Christie titles, whilst his celebrated jacket for The Wind in the Willows was produced for Methuen. Wyndham Payne presents a detailed survey of the artist’s work: lino cuts, woodcuts, drawings in pen, watercolors, silhouette painting on glass, and later, when his health became too poor for commercial work, models – including automata – for his children and grandchildren. The book also includes a biography of the artist, covering his life and work.

The Ghent Altarpiece Art, History, Science and Religion Danny Praet, Maximiliaan P.J. Martens a.o. The Ghent Altarpiece or the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, by the Van Eyck brothers (1432), is recognized worldwide as a great work of art, and one of the most influential paintings ever made. It was the world’s first major oil painting, and it is laced with religious mysticism. The work almost reads like an A to Z of Christianity – from the Annunciation to the symbolic sacrifice of Christ, with the ‘Mystic Lamb’ on an altar in a heavenly meadow, bleeding into the Holy Grail. For the first time, this book gathers together diverse insights on the Ghent Altarpiece, the monumental poliptych that the brothers Hubert and Jan van Eyck realized with the assistance of a large workshop and advisers on the painting’s subject matters. This book has the same aim: to bring together experts from the most diverse disciplines. Only by combining the perspectives of (art) historians, philosophers, religious studies scholars, mathematicians and specialists in optics can one fully understand the riches and depth of this masterpiece. Lavishly illustrated, including details that have come to light using state-of-theart techniques during the current conservation project and are not always visible to the naked eye.
An interdisciplinary approach to a major work in art history – the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, by the Van Eyck Brothers – offering the latest insights from scholars and conservators.

El Greco Carnets d’Expo (Decouvertes Hors-Series) Charlotte Chastel-Rousseau The last great master of the Renaissance, Domenikos Theotokopoulos (1541-1614), known as El Greco, ‘The Greek’, holds a singular place in the history of art. Born in Crete, trained in the Byzantine tradition, El Greco continued his apprenticeship in Italy, in contact with Venetian aesthetics and Roman mannerism. It was in Spain, where he settled in the 1570s and where he imported his Italian influences (Titian, Tintoretto, Michelangelo) that he revealed the extent of his talents. In Toledo, he painted both secular and altar paintings, such as his masterpiece, The Burial of the Count of Orgaz.

Rarities From The Himalayas to Hawaii Thomas Murray This book presents a personal collection of ancestor sculpture and protective deities, following the ancient migratory and trade routes of the Austronesian, Southeast Asian Bronze Age, and Hindu-Buddhist peoples. The author, Thomas Murray, has spent a lifetime studying this art through his endeavors as a peripatetic dealer, collector, and field researcher. The objects illustrated come from a swath of widely varied cultures from Nepal eastward to Hawaii, with the overwhelming majority from Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Murray’s eye is highly informed and based on an unusually large sampling of objects to which his experience and research have exposed him. The artworks documented represent some of the top examples he has acquired and retained over the course of a long career. They are characterized by sculptural balance and a harmony of line, as well as a rare quality of expressiveness. Each ranks high in terms of aesthetics and desirability within its own particular style as perceived by the art market and by other western aficionados.

Kurt Wanski Jürgen Köhler In the early 20th century, critics who focused on the works of so-called dilettantes, self-taught artists, and lunatics increasingly challenged the canon of works consecrated by the history of art. The art of these ‘outsiders,’ for which Jean Dubuffet coined the term ‘Art Brut’, was special in its instinctive directness. Today, Kurt Wanski (1922-2012) remains one of the least known major outsider artists of Art Brut, despite having been a renowned and respected figure in East Berlin’s art scene. From the outset, Wanski spent his life in asylums and hospitals before finally moving to the safe haven of a Catholic mental health institution, always remaining independent as an artist. A captive of his own world, Wanski primarily used magazines and journals as models for his drawings. Although he redrew the motifs in a rather clumsy way, his works are more magical than the original designs. For Wanski printed pictures were an unlimited source of inspiration linking the real world with his imagination.

Trading Paintings and Painters’ Materials 1550-1800 Anne Haack Christensen and Angela Jager The papers in this volume were presented at the CATS international technical art history conference ‘Trading Paintings and Painters’ Materials 1550-1800’ which explored international markets for paintings and artists’ materials in the early modern period and their implications for artistic production. Questions central to these papers include: did preferences exist for artists’ materials and paintings from specific geographical areas in particular places and if so why? How did the import of painting materials and artworks impact local production, connoisseurship and art theory? In what conditions were these artists’ materials and finished artworks produced and traded in early modern Europe and beyond? The lavishly illustrated contributions in this volume deal with the above questions and shed light on different trades, products, countries and timeframes by combining a large variety of methods and sources, including visual analyses, written sources, pigment analyzes and archeological excavations.

Claus Bury The Poetry of Construction Volker Fischer Sculptor Claus Bury (b. 1946) has been enhancing public spaces in Germany for more than four decades with his monumental sculptures, which by now total more than 100. His canon of forms is comprised of geometric basic corpuses, such as squares and cubes, triangles and pyramids, rectangles, rhombuses and segments, which he employs in a contemporary Archaic style oriented on the antique structures of Egypt, Greece and Mexico. Bury’s sculptures are almost always accessible, and the contingent changes in perspective do not only thematize the basic requirements of the human experience of form and space; they also articulate people’s experience in their surroundings, impressively underpinning Hegel’s theory that the world has a ‘house character’ and that man is fundamentally a domestic creature. A spectacular review of Claus Bury’s monumental works in ships, gates, houses, arches, bridges and temples.

Gunnar S. Gundersen Jan Kokkin Gunnar S. Gundersen (1921-1983) was one of the most important Norwegian artists of the post-war period. Together with several other artists, he was part of a modernist breakthrough. He started abstract painting in 1947, and by around 1960 his art had evolved towards a fully non-figurative form. Gundersen became one of the few Concrete artists in Scandinavia, together with Richard Mortensen in Denmark and Olle Bonniér and Olle Bærtling in Sweden. An important part of his oeuvre consists of the many rich, colorful wall paintings made from 1950 to 1980. Despite Gundersen having exhibited all over the world, an international breakthrough eluded him. A gallery dedicated to his art was opened in Høyanger in Western Norway in November 2018.

Gitagovinda An Indian Love Story Edited by Caroline Widmer; Museum Rietberg The tale of the shepherd girl Radha and the Hindu god Krishna is probably the most famous love story in India. Written by Jayadeva at the end of the twelfth century, the Gitagovinda narrates the highs and lows of Radha and Krishna’s relationship. As a vivid metaphor for the human yearning for god, the work is today closely associated in India with the religiosity of Krishna. In the eighteenth century, in the former princely residence of Guler, the artist family of Nainsuhk and Manaku created the outstanding picture series of the second Guler Gitagovinda of 1775/80, which recounts the love story with an unparalleled elegance. This book retells the story using selected pieces from this series (printed in original size) and whisks the reader off into the atmospheric world of Indian miniature painting and poetry.

James Tower Ceramics, Sculptures and Drawings Edited by Timothy Wilcox James Tower (1919-1988) is best known for his elegant forms in glazed earthenware. During a career spanning four decades, from the 1950s to the 1980s, he worked unceasingly in a wide variety of media to achieve an elusive harmony of shape and surface, form and decoration, inert material and active design. His personal understanding of the purpose and meaning of abstraction embodies a perpetual dialogue between the visible world and the unseen dynamics which shape it. This centenary volume of essays considers Tower’s entire output from a wide variety of perspectives, embracing paintings and drawings, as well as sculpture in bronze, terracotta and fibreglass. The contributions of leading critics and historians approach his work, situated at the junction of art, craft and design, in a broad historical and cultural context, illuminating key episodes in postwar British art, and Tower’s unique place within it.

David Bowie’s Tintoretto The Lost Church Of San Geminiano Christina Currie, Xavier F. Salomon, Ben van Beneden e.a. This beautifully illustrated book examines Jacopo Tintoretto’s masterpiece Angel Foretelling the Martyrdom of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, painted between 1560 and 1570 for the Church of San Geminiano in Venice. It was displayed in this location for some 250 years until the church was demolished in 1807, and in 1818 the painting was sold into private hands. It was the centerpiece of the late rock star David Bowie’s collection, being one of the first artworks he acquired. In 2016 it was purchased at auction by a private collector and donated to the Rubens House in Antwerp, where it is on long-term loan. This book accompanies the display of the painting, back in Venice for the first time in 200 years as part of an exhibition at Palazzo Ducale.

Red Hood - Blue Beard Colour in Fairy Tales Schimma, Sabine; Stohler, Peter for the GRIMMWELT Kassel (eds) The eye of the beholder is fascinated by colors. Their symbolic and cultural historical meanings, which have often developed over centuries and are reflected in various narrative forms, are found to be equally fascinating. Thus in traditional folk tales and in literary fairy tales, colors are not just attributes or superficial manifestations but rather have a deeper significance. Why, for example, is the head covering of a little unimposing girl, of all things, red, and why is the beard of a knight who kills women blue? Why does Cinderella wear grey clothing, and what power does Peter Schlemihl’s sold shadow have? The publication traces – color by color – these and other exciting questions, all richly portrayed with numerous prints and illustrations from historical fairy tale books.

Titian’s Hidden Double Portrait Unveiled After 500 Years Jaynie Anderson, Larry Keith, Irina Artemieva This book recounts the fascinating history of Titian’s unfinished portrait, A Lady and her Daughter (possibly his mistress Milia and their daughter), which dates from the early 1550s. After Titian’s death in 1576, it was repainted in his studio with a more saleable image of Tobias and the Angel. Often presented as Titian’s work but in a style which made the attribution suspect, the painting has had a succession of owners. It was not until the mid20th century that an x-ray examination uncovered the beautiful painting underneath, an undisputed work by the great master himself. The painstaking restoration process, begun in 1983, took 20 years. Notable art historians and conservators have contributed essays that offer an in-depth examination of this exceptional and mysterious painting.

The Supermarket of Images Edited by Peter Szendy, Emmanuel Alloa and Marta Ponsa Art and economics have entertained a complex and decisive relationship since ancient times. But for over a century, what is at stake goes far beyond the mere art market: what we face now is the commodification of all that is visible. The question of storing images, managing them, circulating them and transporting them, their weight, the fluidity or viscosity of their exchange, fluctuations in their values – in short, the whole business of the image economy – is more pertinent now than ever before. Illustrated with photographs, drawings, paintings, videos, films, digital works and multimedia installations, including artists such as Martin Parr or Sophie Calle, Yves Klein or Andy Warhol, this book explores a wide range of perspectives on the economics of the image and images of the economy.

Design Fusion Deconstructing West and East Jamy Yang
Refashioning Concrete Design by Bentu Xu Gang
Beauty of China Show the World Zhu Zheqin Dadawa
Jamy Yang, an award-winning designer with major partnerships to his credit, began his career in the industrial design department of the German manufacturer Siemans. Returning to China permanently in 2004, he founded his own company, Yang Design, which is now considered the most influential product strategy and design consultancy in China.
Bentu is an award-winning, cutting-edge Chinese design company founded in 2011. It is known for innovative and engaged product and lighting design and manufacturing, with an emphasis on day-to-day functionality and attention to raw materials. The design teams have experimented extensively with the detritus of industry, including concrete, ceramic, metal and plastic pipes, and terrazzo.
This book explores Yang’s creative ideology in 15 thematic chapters, beginning with ‘minimalism’ and ending with ‘kindness’. It expands on his theories about the purpose of design, the dislocations that exist today in Chinese culture and aesthetics, as well as the differences between Chinese and Western design.
In this beautifully photographed book, the evolution of a product is shown, more than told. A stunning series of photos of raw materials and work sites follows the process from beginning to end, creating a visual storyline of environmental impact, innovative design, sustainability, reusability, local sourcing, and usage.
Zhu Zheqin, also known as Dadawa, is a well-known Chinese singer, artist, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. She has made significant contributions to Chinese culture, not only in her internationally distributed music albums, but also as the 2009 Chinese Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations Development Program.

Alison Watt In Conversation with… Allan Ramsay Alison Watt, Julie Lawson, Tom Normand & Andrew O’Hagan In a series of brand new paintings, renowned artist, Alison Watt, responds to the paintings and drawings of 18thcentury Scottish artist Allan Ramsay. The new works are particularly inspired by Ramsay’s wonderful and much-loved painting of his wife, but also consider some seldom seen drawings from Ramsay’s 1755-57 sketchbook. Watt’s response is made through a series of interpretations in her own style, while developing a great appreciation of the remarkable delicacy in Ramsay’s work. While offering a fresh and modern perspective on the historical works of one of Scotland’s outstanding portraitists, this book also reveals insight into how one of today’s leading artists looks at and is inspired by the art of the past.

Elia Nurvista Feeding the Scene Nicola Müllerschö, Christoph Tannert Elia Nurvista (born 1983 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia) focuses on the intersection between art and research-based community projects in her artistic practice. In Berlin, the artist visited a range of initiatives and projects for refugees to learn more about how they see our society. The works resulting from this experience address our frequently ambiguous attitude to what is foreign to us: whereas ‘exotic’ luxury items and food such as tropical fruit are regarded as positive and precious, people who come to us as refugees from the same countries are often rejected as being ‘foreign,’ and their ‘exotic’ nature is sometimes even perceived as a threat.

In the Service of Krishna Illustrating the Lives of Eighty-four Vaishnavas from a 1702 Manuscript Emilia Bachrach.

The volume will appeal to scholars and students of Indian art and literature, to those who have grown up in the Pushtimarg tradition, and more broadly to those with an appreciation for the distinct ways in which pictures can tell stories that unite the everyday with intimate experiences of the Divine.

Thread and Fire Textiles and Jewellery from the Isles of Indonesia and Timor Linda S. McIntosh Thread and Fire is a fascinating journey through the centuries-old trade networks that developed across a group of archipelagos along the equator. With the arrival of Europeans in the early 16th century, global trade and connections grew rapidly. Spices and forest & sea products were the focus of foreign interests, and textiles were the currency for their acquisition. These textiles soon became part of the region’s social fabric. Thread and Fire explores and illustrates those ancient connections and traditions through Indonesian and Timorese textiles, regalia and jewelry from the Francisco Capelo collection, assembled over a 20-year period and now part of the permanent collection of Casa AsiaColecao Francisco Capelo in Lisbon.

Lightning by M.F. Husain Edited by Marguerite Charugundla Lightning was created in 1975, during a very controversial period in India’s history, to be the backdrop of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s Emergency speech. The masterpiece was made up of 12 massive panels with 10 wild, white horses charging through an open space. Created in honor of the artist, the book includes anecdotal stories and interviews, and selected authors address the painting and its creator from various angles. It is an attempt to reveal the painting’s mysteries: every brush stroke and every inch of the canvas has a story, secretly tucked away in the midst of the powerfully rendered horses, that is left for the beholder to decipher. Published in association with TamarindArt, New York, and Asia Society Museum, New York.

Sam Kramer Jeweler on the Edge Toni Greenbaum Despite being one of the most influential – and indeed most eccentric – of the American modernist jewelers, Sam Kramer (1913-1964) has received little recognition. His expressive, organic work and surreal workshop, located on West 8th Street in New York’s Greenwich Village, paved the way for other midtwentieth century metalsmiths, and for many more working today. Sam Kramer: Jeweler on the Edge investigates Kramer as both a seminal artist and a cult personality. Through lavish color photographs of rarely seen works as well as newly discovered archival material, the story of this unique individual is told against a backdrop of post-Second World War America, from the late 1940s to the early 1960s. Mirroring both the existential angst and quirky humor of the Beat Generation, Sam Kramer embodied the iconoclastic spirit of his era.

Margit Hart Mindscapes. Jewelry and Photography Carl Aigner, Nina Schedlmayer Over the past twenty-five years, the Austrian artist Margit Hart has created an extremely diverse oeuvre of contemporary jewelry. Mindscapes, the name of her latest group of works, is synonymous with her ever changing jewelry objects. Since 2009 Margit Hart’s work – parallel to her jewelry – has extended into abstract photography, resulting in a mutual dialogue between both disciplines. In her Schattenflug [Fleeting Shadows] works, she goes beyond illustrating the purely representational to create imaginary three-dimensional pictorial spaces that immerse us in mysterious worlds of light and shade. This monograph showcases the interplay between both modes of artistic expression in a tangible way.

Seladon im Augenmerk Jadegleiche Porzellane und ihre Meister in Longquan, VR China Anette Mertens; Mareile Flitsch Ever since at least the 9th century, the Chinese province of Zhejiang has been known for its fine celadon porcelain with wonderful shimmering surfaces in qing, the magnificent shades of green, but by the end of the 19th century celadon had almost completely disappeared. It was not until the 1950s that this style of pottery was successfully brought back to life. In the 1990s changes to the market economy forced porcelain artisans to reorient; to this day they have been able to successfully align themselves, similar to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage system, as ‘Living State Treasures’ with their unparalleled celadon glazes. Seladon im Augenmerk offers an exciting social anthropological insight into the cultural history, technology and sociality of celadon production in the porcelain metropolis of Longquan, PR, China, up to the present day.

Glassworks The Art of Frederick Birkhill Contributions by Samantha De Tillio, Dr. Dedo Von Kerssenbrock-Krosogk, Amy Schwartz, Stuart Reid, and Doreen Balabanoff Glass as an art form has an ancient tradition; the archaeological record suggests that artisans in Egypt and Mesopotamia were fabricating glass vessels and ornaments during the fourth millennium BCE. Its durable nature, range of colors, malleability, and most of all, its optical transparency are qualities that have made glass a premiere art medium. Over a lifetime, Frederick Birkhill has explored the unique qualities of glass and the numerous techniques and intricacies of working with it. The result of these decades of study is a body of work that is extraordinary in scope, technical expertise, and sheer virtuosity. The Artist Book Foundation is delighted to announce the upcoming publication of a new monograph honoring this gifted artist: Glassworks: The Art of Frederick Birkhill.

The Persian Carpet The Forgotten Years 1722-1872 Hadi Maktabi This publication sets out to investigate a significant yet overlooked era of carpet weaving in Iran. The time-span stretches between two highly significant dates, which are exactly 150 years apart. The first, 1722, marks the downfall of the Safavid dynasty. The second date, 1872, represents the formal start of the modern carpet revival, when increased demand attracted European attention and changed the industry’s structure. Prevailing opinion has hitherto been that in-between not much happened and that there was an overall decline in carpet production. Thankfully that is not the case, otherwise this book would not exist. New evidence brings to light a period of design evolution, thriving workshops and prestigious commissions. Through careful study of documentary sources, artworks in different media but first and foremost the hand-knotted rugs themselves, the glory of this forgotten age of the Persian carpet is brought to life.

This year’s edition was designed by the Zurich design studio Hi.

Chow! Secrets of Chinese Cooking Cookbook Dolly Chow The provinces of China are united by their love of a good meal. Each has their own specialties and methods of preparation – all of which are, of course, purported to be ‘the best’. Rather than attempting to cover the entirety of Chinese cuisine, this charming little book instead focuses on recipes born from melding the author’s favorite family menus with tips on traditional preparation and table etiquette as dictated by Confucius 2500 years ago. The result is an informative and delicious peek into the Chinese food culture of the early twentieth century. Requiring only minimal materials and expertise, the recipes are accessible and flavorful, while the insights into traditional Chinese eating customs will be of use for travelers hoping to dine authentically while abroad. Chow! guides the reader through the basics – how to wash rice, serve tea and make noodles from scratch – before introducing them to a variety of dishes based around meat, seafood and vegetables. Whether you seek familiar tastes or adventurous dishes, Chow! has it all: from stuffed mushrooms and fried rice to minced pigeon, crab fat with green vegetables and duck tongue soup.

Louis XIII Cognac – The Thesaurus Karen Howes First exhibited at the Exposition Universelle (Paris, 1900) Louis XIII has embodied sophistication for over a century. Each bottle is a unique work of art, from the decanter – each of which requires eleven craftsmen to blow the crystal, apply the ornamentation and wrap the 20-K gold collar around its slender neck – to the cognac itself. Composed of up to 1200 eaux-de-vie from the first cru of the Cognac region, Grande Champagne, Louis XIII balances notes of myrrh, honey, dried roses, plum, honeysuckle, cigar boxes, leather, figs and passion fruit in an unmatched, ambrosial blend. This book is an ode to the cognac, sung by some of its earliest and most vibrant devotees. We delve into the diaries and letters of two passionate travelers aboard the America-bound cruiser Normandie, 1935; the agenda of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth on their visit to Versailles in 1938; and the first-hand account of a young millionaire who, while on a trip to Constantinople in 1928, requested that the Orient-Express stop so that the surface of his brandy might lie still. Tracing the history of the iconic decanter from the pewter flask found after the Battle of Jarnac to the inspired glass vessels that captivated the royal courts of Europe, Louis XIII Cognac – The Thesaurus promises an elegant and entertaining glimpse into this prestigious cognac and the characters who drank it.
Collecting testimonies from early twentieth-century letters and diaries, this book honors the timeless reputation of Louis XIII, the luxury cognac from Rémy Martin.

The Mughal Feast Recipes From The Kitchen Of Emperor Shah Jahan Salma Yusuf Husain
Wazwaan Traditional Kashmiri Cuisine Waza Sharief, Waza Shafi, Waza Rafiq, Rocky Mohan
Kashmiri Cuisine Through the Ages Sarla Razdan
The Mughal Feast is a delightful transcreation of the original handwritten Persian recipe book Nuskha-e-Shahjahani from the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan’s time. A culinary journey into the Mughal imperial kitchen, where food was cooked with just the right amount of spices to enhance the base flavors of the dishes, this book is divided into seven sections and includes a plethora of recipes, ranging from the familiar shami kabab and baqlawa to the more exotic amba pulao (tangy mango lamb rice) and indersa (sweet, deep-fried rice-flour balls). The book also provides helpful tips for cooking, including methods to clean fish and soften bones, throwing light on the creativity of the Mughal cooks.
When Timur invaded India in the fifteenth century, he unknowingly introduced to the country a cuisine that is perhaps unrivalled in the world – wazwaan. The elaborate preparation and ceremonial presentation of lavish meals, often comprising 36 courses, makes wazwaan a sumptuous and royal repast. Seven dishes typically form an indispensable part of the feast – tabakh maaz, rista, Rogan Josh, dhaniwal korma, Aab gosh, marchwagan korma and ghustaba. Firin and kahwah (Green tea) round off a never-to-beforgotten culinary experience. For the first time ever, the exotic treasury of secret recipes from the renowned family of waza – The master chefs of Kashmir – are made available to all those who love the cuisine of the beautiful Valley.
Kashmiri Cuisine: Through the Ages is not just a cookbook but also showcases the splendor of Kashmir through beautiful vintage and new photographs bringing alive the history and culture of the place. A collection of authentic, comprehensive and easy-to-make recipes, popular within the Kashmiri community, makes this book indispensable to all lovers of good food. A section on low calorie Kashmiri food is a treat for the health conscious!

Kashmiri cuisine is one of the most delectable and ancient cuisines in the world because of the many foreign influences. People are still a trifle inhibited about cooking it, because, like any delicacy, it demands a delicate sense of instinct after you have measured ingredients by the spoon or the ladle. But Sarla Razdan’s book will chip away the inhibitions and introduce you to a world that cannot be described at the inadequate level of mere words.

Exeter Cathedral The Garden of Paradise Jonathan Foyle with Diane Walker Nine hundred years ago, foundations were dug for a great church in Exeter, which would develop into the beautiful cathedral that still marks the heart of the city. It is distinctive among English cathedrals for its twin transept towers, and unbroken vault stretching from the entrance to the high altar, and the sheer profusion of carving of plants and animals throughout. Exeter is a heavenly garden in stone, and this new book, illustrated with specially commissioned photography, draws on archeology, archives and imagery to explain what its builders in a surprisingly cosmopolitan city were trying to tell us about their understanding of the world, and the realm they envisioned beyond us.

London Underground 1970-1980 Mike Goldwater Think of the London Underground and what comes to mind? Shuffling human traffic, trains whirring through tunnels, tired silent faces. Mike Goldwater’s pictures taken in the ‘70s and ‘80s, capture the moments of tenderness and life that lie beneath that: the kisses goodbye, the man cradling a cat, another smoking deep in thought, the homeless man curled up next to his belongings. We also see old ticket booths (before Travelcards existed), retro carriages, whisky adverts and bell flares. These images, full of human interaction, take us back to a time when it was fine to talk (and smoke) on our beloved Underground.

Out of the Blue Fifty Years of Designers Guild Tricia Guild Out of the Blue unravels Tricia Guild’s unique and creative approach, focusing in on her inspiration, her intuitive design methodology and the techniques, processes and materials used. Frustrated with the lack of truly contemporary fabrics and wallpapers for interiors, Tricia’s vision was to create a lifestyle. Tricia showed people how to put the different elements of a room together; how color, pattern, texture and form can combine to create a harmonious space. Readers will be able to see where Tricia’s inspiration comes from – her travels to India, Japan and Scandinavia – and how this is translated into collections of fabrics, wallpaper, furniture and accessories. Her inspiration may come from ancient Indian textiles, Renaissance-style velvet or a Swedish Gustavian wall treatment, but the resulting interiors are never drawn solely from one traveler’s tale and are never just a reworking of an old document. Instead, each is an eclectic amalgam in which a harmony exists between East and West, present and past.

Ten residential projects by Bernd Gruber.
Countryside Living Edited by Wim Pauwels Country living has long been associated with a rustic way of life and a sense of tradition. This strong appreciation of rural traditions does not mean, however, that all country homes are relics of the past. Contemporary solutions and innovative ideas work equally well when old spaces are given over to new uses, converted, renovated or just revived. A country house is intimately connected to the land and all its seasons and is built to last using natural, indigenous materials. These are the core qualities of the countryside style, whether old or new. Full of inspiration on how to achieve that highly desirable ideal of comfortable country living combined with the clean lines and edited design of today, Countryside Living shows work by architects and designers who have helped evolve the country house look.

The Lobkowicz Collections Music Series Highlights Kathryn Libin with Petr Slouka The Lobkowicz Collections, housed in Prague, rank among the oldest and largest privately owned collections of art, music and archival documents in Central Europe. Family members who were not only patrons, but also enthusiastic collectors and performers assembled the Music Archive, comprising some 5,000 items, over three centuries. The personal affinities and tastes of these aristocratic amateurs are reflected in such musical treasures as 18th-century lute tablatures; oratorios and operas in manuscript and early prints; performing parts for symphonies and quartets by Beethoven, Haydn and Mozart. All of these objects preserve a history of devotion to music, and cultivation of a vibrant music culture. This book offers an introduction to the rich musical traditions of the Lobkowicz family, and to highlights from its music collections.

Canova: Four Tempos Texts by Prince Domenico Antonio Pallavicino, Vittorio Sgarbi, photographs by Luigi Spina The full-size plaster models that represented the passage from a preliminary designing phase to the production of the marble sculpture were of great significance to Italian sculptor Antonio Canova’s creative process. As the subtitle emphasises, the temporal dimension holds great importance in the neoclassic sculptor’s creative and productive phases: the plaster artifact posits a before and an after. Before comes the preparatory study; after is the finished work. Plaster stands in between; it is central. The plaster forms are not the finished works, however they contain all their power and potential. This volume explores this meaningful and little-known phase in the creative process of Antonio Canova, along with quality close-up photo sequences that expose the plaster surfaces, bringing a greater focus and appreciation to the plaster form.

Alejandra Guerrero - Wicked Women Alejandra Guerrero & Violet Blue In the second decade of the twenty-first century we are witnessing an unprecedented exploration of female sexual power, while on the other hand reactionary cultural forces contrive to keep women as defenceless as possible. In this context, the work of photographer Alejandra Guerrero can be understood as a clarion call. Hers is a rarefied visual art that marks a turning point for female sexuality in erotica, her eloquent tableaux revealing the intricate ways in which women exert their erotic power. Here we see a future in which women dictate raw, yet refined desires. Each moment comes from the erotic fever dreams of the participants and the desires of the woman behind the camera. Sometimes, when Guerrero turns the lens upon herself, those moments are one and the same.

Australia 1872 How Bernhard Holtermann turned gold into a unique photographic treasure Christoph Hein Bernhard Otto Holtermann emigrated from Hamburg to Australia in 1858 as a destitute young man, where, in 1872, he unearthed the largest lump of gold in the world. Holtermann shared his newfound wealth with his adopted home. As he traveled through the settlements, he had the poverty-stricken life documented in spectacular images, and promoted Australia to the world. More than 150 of these impressive photos have now been published here, most for the first time, and are thus immortalized for eternity. Over more than 200 pages, the spectacular story of the German emigrant and his lucky discovery is told, with the images commissioned by him now available for the general public. Holtermann’s photos impressively document the drudgery of the gold mines and life in Australia during the 19th century. Several modern-day photos and representations of how contemporary artists interpret his work have been included in this coffee-table volume. Thanks to this book, Bernhard Holtermann’s legacy has been given the distinction it deserves for the first time.

The White Album of the Hamptons Photographs Christophe von Hohenberg, foreword by Jay McInerney Photographer Christophe von Hohenberg’s photographs give the impression of squinting against the glaring summer sun-bleached out details blur and feint gestures carve out the presence of figures against the vast oceanic expanse. Allowing himself to be “blinded by the light” von Hohenberg has found harmony on the beaches of the Hamptons, a place that cleanses, renews, and soothes. As delicate smears and ghostly shapes flesh out the familiar yet distant dreamscape of the beaches, von Hohenberg’s photographs intimate an ineffable feeling – haunting, serene, and sublime. The White Album of the Hamptons provides a visual record of von Hohenberg’s experiment in capturing the soul of the Hamptons and its unseen world of transcendent illumination through blackand-white photographs.
An original book of photography, which presents a unique, minimal take on the beaches of the Hamptons in black-andwhite.

The Silence of Dogs in Cars Martin Usborne As a child, photographer Martin Usborne was once left in a car. This was not for long, but he wondered if anyone would come back. Around the same age he fell in love with dogs - they could not speak, just as he felt he was silent in that car. Thirty years later the two experiences came together in this cinematic and darkly humorous project that looks at the way humans are able to silence the animals they love best. No dogs were harmed in the making of this project.

Sequence as a Dialogue Katja Stuke & Oliver Sieber Nadja Imail
Cosmic Culture Soviet Space Aesthetics in Everyday Life Dieter Seitz
Since their first visit to Japan in 2005, photographers Katja Stuke and Oliver Sieber have found their muse in the country’s subculture and pop scene, tracing the excesses of Contemporary Japanese society.
This book presents the results of in-depth research and extensive travel through a total of seven countries formerly part of the Soviet Union. Its prime focus is the impact of space exploration on everyday life in the USSR in its pioneering age between the late 1950s and the 1980s and the persistence of related concepts and utopian ideas in today’s society. Told as a visual story, it combines artistic and documentary photography, portraits of contemporary witnesses, landscape snapshots, and historical documents.
Stuke and Sieber are not interested in nostalgic settings. In their photo series and compositions, Japan emerges as a country of tarmac roads and sidewalks, of power lines and garage doors, a country of flickering TV screens and virtual realities.

Landscape Photography Saskia Boelsums The dramatic landscape photographs of Saskia Boelsums manifest a strong connection to the Dutch tradition of landscape paintings. She is inspired by nature, weather, and the seasons, with clouds and skies characterized by moody chiaroscuro and painterly monumentality. The reality of the changing climate, and what this will mean for the future, is a theme that runs throughout her work. She captures not only the beauty of the landscape, but also a vague sense of uncertainty and threat. As she says: “I am photographing when most people think the weather is too bad to go outside. By exploring different landscapes in all four seasons, I feel strongly connected to the universe. That feeling I’m trying to pass on through my landscape photos.” – Saskia Boelsums.

Passing Through Nigel Grierson Passing Through is a photography book concerned with nature, and our transient connection to it. Grierson’s work treads a fine line between reality and fiction, in his search for spirituality: “For Rudolph Steiner, the most direct route to spirituality for the adult, involves finding ‘the inner child’ via the occupation of ‘playing’. On a personal level this book represents a journey; a return to childhood, exploring woodlands, playing in the dirt, finding little treasures and taking something home as a souvenir; the photograph. I once heard it said that spirits are in fact traces or energies left behind when beings repeat the same actions over and over on the same pathways. Perhaps that is why we can sometimes hear voices in the woods, even after the people have long gone home”.

Nigel Grierson’s visual journey through the seasons treads a fine line between reality and fiction, in his search for abstraction and spirituality.
Lightstream Nigel Grierson Lightstream represents Grierson’s most recent foray into photographic abstraction as he makes long exposures of figures beside the light of the ocean. Taking the maxim from Dieter Appelt ‘A snapshot steals life that it cannot return. A long exposure (creates) a form that never existed’, Grierson makes beautiful illusory photographs which look almost painterly. However, it is important to him that these are un-manipulated photographs straight from the camera: ‘There’s a huge element of ‘chance’, and the embrace of the happy accident within this approach, which is a sort of photographic equivalent of ‘action painting.’ The marks and traces created by the moving light, at times have a simplicity like a child’s drawings. On occasion, the residue of a human figure might be reduced to little more than their posture or demeanor, which then seems more significant than ever, a sort of essence, whether that be elusive or illusive.

Oxford: The Last Hurrah Dafydd Jones Oxford University at the start of the eighties, rife with black ties and ball gowns. A change was on its way – best described by a newspaper as ‘the Return of the Bright Young Things’. At this time, Oxford University was synonymous with the wealthy, the powerful and the privileged. Many of the young people in these pictures moved on to have careers in the establishment – including Boris Johnson and David Cameron. In these photographs, however, their youth is undeniable: teenagers in full suits celebrate the rise of Thatcher in England and Reagan in America, in between punting on the river, chasing romance and partying through the night. Oxford shows a world that has been written about and dramatized, yet never photographed. Affectionate and critical, it pokes affectionate fun at its subjects while celebrating English eccentricity. From the architectural marvels of the colleges to misty mornings along the river at dawn, this is Oxford at its most beautiful – and the students of the 1980s at their most raw and honest.

From the North to the South Pole - Latitude Christer Löfgren This book of photographs by Swedish photographer Christer Löfgren explores the diverse and multifaceted world in which we live, from north to south. In comparing photographs of various cultures, diversity is more noticeable: the colors, clothes, and food point to the identity of each place. The further north or south of the equator you travel, colors are paler, and the food is milder and less spicy. The more extreme nature is, the more difficult the lifestyle. These vibrant photographs ask us to broaden our vision and grasp the complexity and beauty of the world as a global whole. This deluxe edition consists of three hardcover books in a slipcase.

Wild Horses of Cumberland Island Anouk Masson Krantz; Oliver Ferguson (foreword) A longtime favorite getaway for America’s most influential families, Cumberland Island, off the Atlantic coast of Georgia, offers breathtaking white-sand beaches, rolling dunes, old-growth oak forests, and salt marsh tidal estuaries. At the center of it all is a population of horses that has thrived, untouched for generations, within this serene sanctuary. In Wild Horses of Cumberland Island, photographer Anouk Masson Krantz has captured the dramatic scenery and majestic horses as they have never been seen before. Her images show the remarkable animals in their naturally diverse ecosystems. A lone horse on a distant beach; four creatures peacefully grazing; a shy animal peering over its shoulder from a brushy thicket – Krantz’s portfolio, built over the last decade, is an intimate reflection not only of Cumberland Island’s exceptional beauty and spirited horses, but of the history and the safekeeping that have allowed both to flourish.

Rebel Lives Photographs from within the Lord’s Resistance Army Kristof Titeca The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), led by the infamous Joseph Kony, is a rebel group that was active in Northern Uganda from the second half of the 1980s. The rebellion became notorious for the use of extreme violence, in particular its large-scale abductions of civilians, of which more than half were children. Rebel Lives is a visual story about life inside the rebel group: based on photographs taken by LRA commanders between 1994 and 2004, the book documents life inside the group, and depicts the rebels as they wanted to be seen among themselves and by the outside world. This visual story is not only about the LRA. It is a story about conflict in all times, and all places, where the limits of victim and perpetrator have become blurred, where people struggle to survive and find their place, and where children in particular bear the brunt of this tension.

Hard Rock Hotel Tony Barrell With a finger on the pulse of the 20th century music scene – tapping along to the beat, in fact – the Hard Rock Hotel, previously known as the Cumberland, was second home to some of the brightest stars on record. From Bob Dylan to Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross, from Little Richard to Madonna and A-Ha, each suite is steeped in stories. Whether they were wining and dining, giving interviews to the press, or looking for a place within walking distance of Pye Studios, where some of the most iconic pop songs of the sixties and seventies were recorded, the Cumberland was the place to be. Hard Rock Hotel honors its roots with this incredible collection of shots, capturing the glamor, drama, sex, drugs and (of course) the rock ‘n’ roll.

Ever since, Peter has been photographing the weirdest, most puzzling letterboxes all over Belgium. Over six years he has built a collection of over 300 photos of the most exceptional examples.

Why We Stop Growing Etienne Geraert The study of differential growth in various animals, including humans, suggests that a similar growth pattern occurs throughout the bilateral animals. This growth pattern is based on the assumption that a quadratic equation describes the relationship between two body measurements, yielding a quadratic parabola in a graphic representation. The study of differential growth by using a quadratic parabola gives the answers to the questions ‘Why do we stop growing?’ and ‘Why are women shorter than men?’. The conclusions for various animals are amply illustrated by graphic representations.

111 Places in Manchester That You Shouldn’t Miss Julian Treuherz, Peter de Figueiredo
111 Places in Leeds That You Shouldn’t Miss Kim Revill, photography by Alex Compton Welcome to Leeds; a great northern powerhouse of a city that has reinvented itself from an industrial center of wool, textiles and coal to one of the UK’s biggest financial and commercial cities outside of London. Leeds is famous for its beautiful Victorian arcades, its magnificent architectural landmarks, its eclectic mix of shops and bars and its sporting venues. But scrape its bare bones and you will find it is a city rich in history, heritage and culture.
Medieval no-go zone, Victorian hell-hole, war-ravaged bomb site, 21st century shining city, the most exciting area in one of the most exciting cities in the world - the East End has often been London’s strange alter ego. Ed Glinert trawls through the strange stories, the crazed characters, the violent vignettes, the driedup docks, the imaginative immigrants, the proud philanthropists to give a different history of the most misunderstood sector of the capital, from the Princes in the Tower to the Ratcliffe Highway murders; from Jack the Ripper to the Kray twins; the Jewish ghetto to Banglatown; Cable Street to Canary Wharf; Mahatma Gandhi to George Orwell.
Manchester is far more than a grey provincial city preoccupied with the business of making money. The bales of cotton goods awaiting export have gone from the grand warehouses, and the cotton mills no longer hum with the sound of machinery. Yet the buildings remain in all their glory – converted to hotels, offices, chic apartments, hipster bars, fine eateries or gritty drinking dens. This book will also take you to alternative Manchester – Radical Manchester from Peterloo to the Pankhursts, Literary Manchester from Elizabeth Gaskell to Anthony Burgess, and of course to Madchester, the crazy music scene of Morrissey, Tony Wilson, the Hacienda and Factory Records.
Can you really sit in Her Majesty’s seat, catch a Dutch water taxi, go otter spotting in the center of town or get married on a tiny island in the city? Leeds offers so much to locals and visitors alike and you can discover the answers to these questions and much, much more in this guide to 111 places in the great city of Leeds.

111 Places in Fife That You Shouldn’t Miss Gillian Tait Fife is an ancient Scottish county, proudly known as the Kingdom. Its distinctive, selfcontained identity is summed up in the old adage ‘Bid farewell to Scotland, and cross to Fife!’ A compact peninsula shaped like the head of a Scottie dog nosing the North Sea, it boasts magnificent approaches from south and north via the celebrated bridges over the Forth and Tay. Tourists flock to the world-famous golf courses in the old university town of St Andrews. But Fife is packed with all manner of much less-visited treasures, places of stunning natural beauty as well as fascinating monuments of every era. You will discover a land where generations of the illustrious and the powerful, the humble and the hard-working have all left their mark.

Discover Thailand The Big Travel Handbook Edited by Monaco Books
Very Bangkok In the City of the Senses Philip Cornwel-Smith
This lavishly illustrated handbook will inspire your next trip through Thailand, a paradise whose fascinating culture and incomparable natural beauty draw travelers from all over the world. Its treasures include historic places like Sukhothai and Ayutthaya – with their temple ruins and giant Buddha statues – floating markets, splendid temples, and exotic landscapes. The lively chaos and high-octane nightlife of Thailand’s largest cities, Bangkok and Pattaya, are legendary. Away from the hustle and bustle, unique island worlds like Phuket enchant visitors with fabled beaches and lush tropical rainforests teeming with abundant and exotic fauna and flora. This journey around the ‘Land of Smiles’ features a selection of the most beautiful beaches and places to visit, with background information on the country and its customs.
Bangkok arrests the visitor with a bewildering juxtaposition of old and new, high-tech and impromptu, sacred and profane. While modernizing apace and a myriad outside influences, the Thai capital draws equal vigor from its historical communities, cultural diversity and contemporary urban tribes. Author of Very Thai and Time Out Bangkok, Philip Cornwel-Smith takes an alternative look at the subcultures of his adopted town in this practical thematic handbook. With the aid of maps, listings and references, the visitor can engage with Bangkok’s contradictory character according to their mood or interest.
