“The Voyage of the Century.”

—San Francisco Chronicle “ Storms, sharks, isolation, injury, and illness are standard hazards for anyone attempting a Pacific crossing by sailboat, but de Rothschild is proposing to do it in an experimental craft made from materials that have never been tested against ocean waves.”

—from a profile in the New Yorker

Plastiki Across the Pacific by Plastic: An Adventure to Save Our Oceans • By David de Rothschild

Explorer, global green leader, and eco-TV host David de Rothschild recounts the extraordinary journey of the Plastiki, an innovative and mostly untested sixty-foot catamaran that floats on 12,500 reclaimed plastic bottles. It was a voyage that took de Rothschild and a five-person crew 10,000 miles from the U.S. to Australia, sailing through rarely traveled, dangerous waters, risking their lives to call attention to our fragile oceans. Their exploration included urgent study of ocean pollution, island nations threatened by rising seas, damaged coral reefs, and the acidifying ocean itself—and their discoveries are a call to action. Packed with exciting narrative, images, maps, journal entries, plans, and sketches, this is the only firsthand account of what may be the most important adventure of our time.

David de Rothschild is the founder of Adventure Ecology, an organization that harnesses the power of dreams and adventures to urge us to move toward a smarter and more sustainable way of living. In 2006, de Rothschild spent over 100 days crossing the Arctic, becoming the youngest Plastiki

Bullet Proof . . . I Wish I Was

Sketchbook with Voices

The Lighting and Stage Design of Andi Watson • By Christopher Scoates Foreword by Thom Yorke • Essays by Dick Hebdige and J. Fiona Ragheb

Prompts and Inspiration from Contemporary Artists Edited by Eric Fischl with Jerry Saltz

Thousands attend stadium rock concerts around the globe and experience the artistry of lighting designer Andi Watson through his work with bands like Radiohead and Oasis.

This visually arresting monograph presents a decade’s worth of his extraordinary designs through hundreds of stage photographs. The foreword by Radiohead’s Thom Yorke reveals the relationship between band and lighting designer, while other critical essays elucidate the history of stage lighting. An ideal book for devoted Radiohead followers and those interested in the intersection of contemporary art and pop culture.

A gem brought back into print, Sketchbook with Voices puts a postmodern spin on the classic artist’s journal. Gleaned from a series of interviews between the authors and artists, this sketchbook is packed with assignments and points of entry that encourage exploration. Art and design enthusiasts will be enamored of the roster of 60 of today’s leading voices in contemporary art—including John Baldessari, Chuck Close, Barbara Kruger, Richard Serra, and Cindy Sherman. While the stars of postmodern practice provide the inspiration, the empty space inside these pages invites the user to draft ideas in whatever form they may take!

Thom Yorke is the lead vocalist and songwriter for Radiohead.

Christopher Scoates is the director of the University Art Museum, California State University, Long Beach. He lives in Southern California.

Eric Fischl is a painter and sculptor living in North Haven, New York.

Covering a button with fabric really is as easy as 1-2-3.

MATERIALS

• Fabric • Fabric-cutting template • Pencil or fabric pen

• Fabric scissors • Button-covering tool • Button front and back

2 ➝ Cut

How-To

1. Trace the pattern. Choose the part of the fabric you want

3 ➝ Press

to show on the front of the button. Using the fabric-cutting template found at the back of this booklet, cut out a circular template and place it over the desired spot on the fabric.

Trace around the circle’s edge with a pencil.

2. Cut the fabric. Using sharp fabric scissors, cut out the circle.

Voilá!

Button in an instant!

3. Cover the button. Place the fabric circle facedown in the rubber mold of the button-covering tool. Place the button front, curved-side down, on top of the fabric and press into the rubber mold. You want some fabric peeking out around the button edges, but if it looks like there’s a lot, snip away the excess.

Tuck the fabric toward the center and place the button back, with pin facing up, over the fabric. Using the plastic pusher, press the button back into the front. Pop the button out and repeat with the next button!

Tip

If you use a thinner fabric or one with a slightly open weave, paint the silver button front white (or another color) to eliminate seeing the silver metal through the fabric.

Instrument Photographs by Pat Graham • Foreword by Johnny Marr

Often when Pat Graham photographs musicians, he’ll also pay special attention to their instruments and the stories told by the signs of wear—the chips, scratches, and modifications that personalize the instruments to their owners. Instrument collects the most evocative and beautiful of these photographs of instruments alone and with the musicians who have played, beaten on, bled over, and loved them, including members of The Smiths, Sonic Youth, REM, New Order, Wire, Fugazi, Built to Spill, Band of Horses, Modest Mouse, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and many more. Featuring 200 color photographs and first-person anecdotes and stories by the musicians themselves, Instrument will fascinate fans seeking a physical connection to music in a digital age.

Pat Graham’s work has appeared in Rolling Stone, Spin, Artforum, The Village Voice, Washington Post, and VICE. He lives in London.

After the death of his mother in 1990, he wrote a series of poems that he added to the notebook as inspiration [image xx].

In the notebooks for Caroline we see a writer playing with form. The child of professional musicians (his father a clarinetist, his mother a bassonist), Kushner was familiar with the exigencies of rhyme and meter, but this was his first exploration of their possibilities. On some pages [image x] verses are written, scratched out, revisited, as Kushner finds his voice within the formal conventions. Words are shifted as much for their sound and tone as their meaning and weight. On another page [image xx] Kushner writes out a wordless rhythm.

Art Work Seeing Inside the Creative Process • By Ivan Vartanian

A book that equally illuminates and inspires, Art Work reveals the artistic notetaking habits of an astonishing range of artists, filmmakers, writers, designers, and other creators by granting rare access to the journal pages and other visual materials they use to capture and foster their work. Twenty-five creators—including Wes Anderson, Ingmar Bergman, Louise Bourgeois, Will Self, Richard Serra, Blek le Rat, Tony Kushner, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Merce Cunningham, and others—are profiled through a generous selection of images and essays that give context to their work in general as well as to the project being illustrated.

Eat Like a Man The Only Cookbook a Man Will Ever Need • Edited by Ryan D’Agostino • Foreword by Tom Colicchio • Introduction by David Granger

So long, dude food. Most men who love food have a roasting pan and a decent spice rack, but they’re still looking for that one book that has all the real food they love to eat and wish they could cook. Esquire food editor Ryan D’Agostino is here to change that with his unapologetically male-centric Eat Like a Man—a choice collection of 75 recipes and food writing for men who like to eat, cook, and read about great food. It’s the Esquire man’s repertoire of perfect recipes, essays on how food figures into the moments that define a man’s life, and all the useful kitchen points every man needs to know. Satisfying, sexy, definitive, and doable, these are recipes for slow Sunday mornings with family, end-of-the-week wind-down dinners with a lady, Saturday night show-off entertaining, poker night feeds, and game-day couch camping. Or, for when a man is just hungry.

Ryan D’Agostino is articles and food editor at Esquire, where he edits the magazine’s “Eat Like a Man” column. He cooks and eats like a man in his tiny New York City kitchen.

I Feel Relatively Neutral About New York

By Avery Monsen & Jory John

New York is a pretty okay city! Take for instance the Empire State Building—it’s like the 15th tallest building in the world. New York–style pizza is totally delicious . . . just as delicious as the pizza you can get in Tampa, Des Moines, or Guam. And Saturday Night Live is really funny, sometimes, depending on the season. I Feel Relatively Neutral About New York is an affectionate skewering of the cult of New York as the center of everything—from fashion to baseball to finance to soft pretzels—delivered in a hilariously sustained neutral tone, a witty and informed text, inarguable charts, deadpan photographs, and more. Both a straight-faced love letter to and shrugging takedown of the Big Apple, this funny broadside will draw opinionated debate from both locals and armchair travelers, whether they “heart” New York or not.

Avery Monsen and Jory John are the authors of All My Friends Are Dead. One of them lives in New York.

Beer A Genuine Collection of Cans • By Dan Becker and Lance Wilson

Ever crack open a can of Chief Oshkosh of Wisconsin, or sample Pabst’s Big Cat Malt Liquor? Remember the original St. Pauli Girl, Tennent’s bevy of lager lovelies, or Olde Frothingslosh (“the pale stale ale with the foam on the bottom”)? Presented alphabetically by brand, the nearly 500 cans collected here come from thirty-two countries and range from the iconic to the obscure to the downright bizarre. From long-forgotten brews to classic brands that have changed their look but never gone out of style, Beer offers a peek into the last century of beer culture, exploring what we drank, how we drank it, and why we picked it off the shelf. While it may not be as refreshing as a frosty cold can of Bud, cracking open this book is certain to stimulate beer lovers and design fans alike.

Dan Becker is a Midwest-born designer who studied graphic design at the University of Cincinnati. He lives and works in San Francisco.

Lance Wilson is a designer residing in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Connections Between Japanese Art Then and Now

By Ivan Vartanian and Kyoko Wada

By Clare Rojas • Foreword by Natasha Boas

See/Saw offers a provocative new look at the origins of Japanese pop art. Often defined by its references to manga or anime, contemporary Japanese art in fact has much broader roots. By drawing parallels between the art of Japan past and present, this compelling volume reveals how current artists rework the traditional forms and techniques of Japanese art history. Modern takes on time-honored conventions are illustrated by the work of a star-studded roster of contemporary artists including Tabaimo, Makoto Aida, Takashi Murakami, Yoshitomo Nara, and Yayoi Kusama. Aficionados of both contemporary and traditional Japan are sure to appreciate this fresh perspective on art and the power of visual culture.

Collected here for the first time are the beautiful and exotic paintings of Clare Rojas. One of the San Francisco Bay Area’s most beloved art stars, Rojas is often associated with the Beautiful Losers artists and the Mission School art movement that includes artists Barry McGee, Chris Johanson, and Ed Templeton. Influenced by craft, folk art, and the beauty and wisdom of the garden, her work weaves together flowers, plants, animals, and various folk figures to create mysterious narratives. Through the language of flowers—delicate yet resilient, powerful yet flexible—Rojas tells enchanting stories with color.

Ivan Vartanian is an author and editor based in Tokyo, Japan.

Kyoko Wada is an art writer, critic, and historian living in Japan.

Clare Rojas is a multimedia artist known for her painting, installation, film, printmaking, quilting, and music. Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions around the world. She lives in San Francisco, California.

With an incisive text by New Yorker editor and Pulitzer Prize winner David Remnick, this comprehensive historical record of our time is an essential volume for anyone interested in world politics.

My Milk Toof The Adventures of ickle and Lardee • By Inhae Lee

When two baby teeth came knocking at her door, artist Inhae Lee did what anyone would do: she invited them to live with her and started photographing their hilarious, miniature antics. The resulting blog phenomenon has captivated legions of devoted fans with its refreshingly sweet sentiment and hip appeal. Featuring brand-new stories alongside classic adventures, My Milk Toof follows two baby teeth named ickle and Lardee as they navigate the pleasures and perils of being very small in a very big world. With perfect comedic timing, the photographic tales in this book explore the world from the tiny perspective of a baby tooth (or milk toof), from taking a bath to exploring the outside world.

Showcasing the intricate handcrafted universe that Lee has created, My Milk Toof has a quirky appeal that speaks to all ages. Whether they’re baking a cake or spending a day at the pool, these two little guys are achingly sweet—but without the cavities.

Inhae Lee is an artist and caretaker to two little milk teef.

She lives in Berkeley, California.

The Rogers & Littleton Guide to America’s* Douchiest Colleges *Including the Territory of Canada • By H. L. Rogers and Peter Littleton, Ph.D.

The question isn’t whether or not one will be a douchebag in college—we’re all a little douchey at college, to be honest. The more pertinent question for prospective students is, “What kind of douchebag do you aspire to be?” Here to help with this major life decision is the only college guide to rank and recommend schools based on their level of douchiness, including illustrated analysis of douchey student affectations, fashions, course offerings, school chants, pickup techniques, extracurricular activities, mascots, and much more. This rigorously researched, stereotypically accurate, gleefully offensive handbook celebrates douchbaggery as a many splendored thing—from yachty to sporty to thoughtfully bearded and beyond—and is sure to spark fits of pique and laughter among high school applicants, current students, and anyone who went to college.

H. L. Rogers and Peter Littleton, Ph.D., are the most trusted names in this sort of thing. They live in gated communities on the eastern seaboard.
