Seitz was given unprecedented access to Stone’s personal archive, and these interviews are accompanied by never-before-seen material that dates back to Stone’s childhood in the 1950s, including personal snapshots, private correspondence, annotated script pages and storyboards, and behind-the-scenes photography. At once a complex analysis of a master director’s vision and a painfully honest autobiography, The Oliver Stone Experience promises to be as daring, intense, and provocative as Stone’s films.

harles M. Schulz believed that the key to cartooning was to take out the extraneous details and leave in
only what’s necessary. For 50 years, from October 2, 1950, to February 13, 2000, Schulz wrote and illustrated Peanuts, the single most popular and influential comic strip in the world. In
all, 17,897 strips were published, making it ‘arguably the longest story ever told by one human being,’ according to Robert Thompson, professor of popular culture at Syracuse University. For Only What’s Necessary, renowned designer Chip Kidd was granted unprecedented access to the extraordinary archives of the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa, California. Reproducing the best of the Peanuts newspaper strip, all shot from the original art by award-winning photographer Geoff Spear, Only What’s Necessary also features exclusive, rare, and unpublished original art and developmental work – much of which has never been seen before.
Chip Kidd is a graphic designer and writer, and editor-at-large for Pantheon. A three-time Eisner Award winner, he has written and designed over a dozen books on comics including Peanuts: The Art of Charles M. Schulz. His novels, The Cheese Monkeys and The Learners, were national bestsellers, as was True Prep: It’s a Whole New Old World (with Lisa Birnbach). Other books include Go: A Kidd’s Guide to Graphic Design and the forthcoming Judge This. Geoff Spear is an award-winning photographer who has collaborated with Chip Kidd on over a dozen books and numerous book jackets.

Though far from the spotlight, that was merely Turing’s second act on the world stage: Before the war he launched modern computer science with his creation of the universal Turing machine, and for his third act he created an artificial intelligence test that bears his name and remains the gold standard. Turing kept his codebreaking work a secret to safeguard his native England, but didn’t hide his homosexuality, which led to his tragic death at the hands of the country he sacrificed so much to protect.
