Filled with personal essays, recipes, DIY projects, and helpful advice on how to be inventive with a tight space, Erin shows that living simply is about making do with less and ending up with more in exchange—more free time, more time with loved ones, more savings, more things of beauty.

first to draw together her diverse and complex range of projects. Simon’s art is based around the equal use of photography, text, and graphic design. In the work represented in this book, she combines these elements in projects that range in focus and scope from a series of examinations of the United States legal system; to a four-year examination of politics, history, and individual agency on a global scale; to works based on obscure and little-known stories and archives addressing the nature of the production and circulation of knowledge. Along with the artwork, texts by a distinguished group of authors demonstrate Simon’s role as a preeminent exponent of a practice that engages equally with the modern world and the politics of representation.

Simon Baker is curator of photography at Tate Modern.

Covering every stage of the design process and including working drawings for many of Wilkinson’s most significant projects, including structures for the London Olympics, this book is a powerful demonstration of the importance of drawing in architecture.

Chris Wilkinson made his reputation with a series of long-span, lightweight structures rooted in the high-tech movement. After working with Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, and Michael Hopkins, he set up Chris Wilkinson Architects in 1983; it later became Wilkinson Eyre. The firm has twice won the Stirling Prize for the best building of the year by a British architect.

n Papua New Guinea, “spirit boards,” also known as gope, were carved from wood by important men of an

extended family or clan. Made from discarded canoes

and usually decorated with carved and painted designs on one side, these boards vary greatly in style. At the turn of the 20th century, when most of the boards featured here were collected, men lived apart from women and uninitiated boys; their houses had designated areas or shrines created to display items, such as spirit boards, that indicated personal status and clan identity.

Embodied Spirits is the first book devoted exclusively to spirit boards. Full-page photographs illustrate the boards of each region, and historical photographs show them in situ. The book also includes original essays by two noted scholars of Papuan Gulf art.

Virginia-Lee Webb is former research curator and senior research scholar at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in the Department of the Arts of Africa, Oceania, and Americas. Thomas Schultze-Westrum is a researcher, photographer, and videographer who has worked in New Guinea. Robert L.

n this new book, cleverly designed to look like a marble tombstone (complete with marble edge-stain), Charles

Saatchi relates often perversely entertaining stories that look at death and mortality in a coolly amused and detached way. In 52 brief essays—sometimes dark, sometimes droll—and including 50 illustrations, Saatchi spans a wide variety of topics; the Russian mafia, snakeeating spiders, Attila the Hun, the Wild West, being run over by your own dog, even laughing yourself into a heart attack.

Charles Saatchi has been one of the moving forces of the modern age, one of the most significant figures in global advertising, and one of the most influential collectors of contemporary art, while contradictorily remaining a reclusive, even elusive figure. Saatchi was selected by the BBC as one of 60 “New Elizabethans” who have

Like other bestselling nonfiction graphic novels such as Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics, Filmish tackles serious issues—sexuality, race, censorship, propaganda—with authority and wit, throwing new light on some of the greatest films ever made.

Edward Ross is a comic book artist, writer, and illustrator. Working alongside Dr James Hall, he has created many science-themed comics for universities, museums, charities, and research bodies.
