Doors of Venice
Views of a Vanishing City
By Greg Miller
This captivating photo book, featuring nearly 200 sumptuous color images, showcases the fascinating, historical, and threatened doors unique to Venice, Italy.
A visit to Venice, a city with no cars, allows you to envision yourself back in time several hundred years ago, with traces of the City of Canals’ storied history on display wherever you look. However, the future of Venice is uncertain due to rising sea levels and overtourism. During a rare moment when tourism lulled due to the pandemic, photographer Greg Miller took advantage of Venice’s quiet streets to capture images that go beyond the expected views of the floating city.
Miller’s long-exposure images focus on Venice’s doors, uncovering the stories they reveal about the city’s past residents and its vanishing culture. Readers can luxuriate in the intricate details of the centuries-old doors that are captured on these pages. From the quality of the wood, to the patinas and colors, to the antique hardware and ornate architectural components, the wonders of these portals to the past are on full display.
But, due to Venice’s contemporary challenges, the doors themselves are under threat. As native Venetians leave the city and homes are rapidly purchased by corporate entities, these architectural gems risk being replaced or modified for cost-effective maintenance. This book serves as a visual preservation of these historical portals, providing a chance to appreciate their beauty and significance before they potentially disappear forever.
Greg Miller photographs a wide range of subjects, including bold and colorful landscapes, monochromatic artistic nudes, and commercial assignments. Miller has previously published three award-winning photography books. He lives in Middletown, New York.

The Adriatic Affair
A Maritime Hit-and-Run off the Coast of Nantucket
By Jennifer N. Sellitti
After seven years of research, shipwreck hunter Jennifer Sellitti has delivered the first and definitive account of the sinking of Le Lyonnais and the hunt for Jonathan Durham.
The American sailing vessel Adriatic collided with the French steamship Le Lyonnais on November 2, 1856, off the coast of Nantucket in what can best be described as a highseas hit-and-run. Adriatic’s captain, Jonathan Durham, rendered no aid and left the steamship to fend for herself. In total, 114 people died in the collision and in the days that followed. Durham did not count on a hero, French sailor Jean-Marie-Louis Choupault, who helped 18 Lyonnais passengers and crew adrift on a small lifeboat in the brutal North Atlantic. Starvation, intense storms, and bitter cold took the lives of two, but the others survived to tell the tale of Durham’s indifference. Durham fled to France to escape scrutiny. There, the authorities seized his ship as damages. He escaped again, this time by disguising Adriatic as another vessel, slipping port in the dead of night, and outrunning French warships. News of his daring escapades made Durham a celebrity in America. He never answered for Le Lyonnais. Instead, he went to Washington, DC, where he featured prominently in congressional debates about international maritime regulations before living out his latter years as a merchant sea captain. The Civil War ended further inquiry into what became known in diplomatic circles as “the Adriatic affair,” and the victims of the disaster never received justice. After seven years of research, shipwreck hunter Jennifer Sellitti has delivered the first and definitive account of the sinking of Le Lyonnais and the hunt for Jonathan Durham.
Jennifer Sellitti is a shipwreck hunter and USCG-licensed ship captain. A criminal defense attorney by profession, she spends her spare time locating, diving, and salvaging shipwrecks aboard D/V Tenacious, a dive vessel that she runs with her partner, Joe Mazraani.

The Definitive History of the Mysterious Supercar That Never Was
By Wolfgang Kalbhenn, Gerhard Heidbrink & Joachim Hack
A comprehensive, insider history of the C 111, the most famous Mercedes never produced.
In March 1969, the news that Daimler-Benz was developing a Wankel rotary-engine sports car hit like a bomb. Six months later, the C 111 was the star of the Frankfurt International Motor Show. Despite tremendous interest, Mercedes never put the vehicle into production. Various C 111s appeared over the next decade, featuring different engines, tweaked aerodynamics, and other modern developments.
Based on unprecedented access to the Mercedes-Benz Group Archives, this is a comprehensive history of the C 111 program.
• Includes 1,100 photos and diagrams in 520 pages.
• Features previously unpublished interviews with the people behind the car.
• Documents the Vision One-Eleven show car inspired by the C 111 and unveiled in June 2023.
This authoritative history was made possible through the support of Mercedes-Benz Classic, which granted access to the Mercedes-Benz Group Archives, the C 111 cars in the company’s collection, and contemporary witnesses who formed the development in the 1960s and 1970s.
Gerhard Heidbrink worked at the Mercedes-Benz Classic division for nearly 30 years. All remaining examples of the C 111 are retained under the stewardship of Mercedes-Benz Classic. He is based in Rot am See, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany.
Joachim Hack is a veteran automotive writer. He played a pivotal role in crafting the content and expertise provided by his coauthors into a cohesive manuscript. He lives in Germany.
Wolfgang Kalbhenn was an engineer assigned to the C 111 project. Specifically, he contributed to the design of the vehicle’s Wankel rotary engine. He is based in Rai-Breitenbach, Hesse, Germany.

The Unofficial Iron Maiden Bible
By Martin Popoff
Embark on a thrilling journey through the superlative recorded canon of one of the world’s most legendary heavy metal bands.
Music journalist Martin Popoff provides an intimate and scholarly look into the life and times of Iron Maiden. From their humble beginnings in the dingy clubs of East London to headlining arenas and festivals worldwide, the band’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and unrelenting dedication to remaining prolific and vital in the present day.
Dive deep into their music, stage performances, and the iconic figure of Eddie, their undead mascot. Readers will discover the stories behind all their albums—such as Killers, The Number of the Beast, and Powerslave, through to their most recent, Senjutsu (and all solo releases)—as well as the inspiring creative and commercial resurgence that the band experienced beginning with the return of Bruce Dickinson to the fold in 1999.
Anchored by the author’s 1995–2024 interviews with all band members over many years, this book is framed most pertinently as an analysis of each Iron Maiden album, one per chapter, every song discussed musically and at the literary end, along with the album covers and the finer points of the recording process.

It’s a must-read for any music enthusiast, a tribute to the indomitable spirit of Iron Maiden, and a celebration of the band’s enduring sixdecade legacy in the realm of heavy metal.

The Beatles in America
The Stories, the Scene, the Memories
By Spencer Leigh, Edited by Mike Evans
Written by one of the acknowledged experts on the Fab Four, Liverpool’s own Spencer Leigh, this volume includes interviews with fellow musicians, promoters, and audience members, together with rare photographs and memorabilia. Early in 1964, with Beatlemania raging in the UK, the Beatles topped the US charts with “I Want to Hold Your Hand” and became a sensation on American TV with The Ed Sullivan Show—on which they appeared no fewer than three occasions, on consecutive Sundays in February 1964.
In April 1964, they held all Top Five positions on the Billboard Hot 100 and were playing such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, and Shea Stadium. The band went on to do a full North American tour in 1964, a shorter tour in 1965, and a final, 13-date tour in 1966 (each of which is covered in detail), transforming them into global superstars—but when John Lennon commented that the band was “bigger than Jesus,” things turned sour, and there were public burnings of their records.
The final chapter and epilogue of the book take the story of “the Beatles in America” up to the band’s breakup and beyond, including John and Yoko’s June 1, 1969, “Bed-In” in Montreal and the release of the couple’s single “Give Peace a Chance.”
Spencer Leigh was born in Liverpool in 1945. His On The Beat program has been broadcast on BBC Radio Merseyside for 30 years, and he has contributed to several BBC music documentaries. He writes obituaries for the British newspaper The Independent, and features for several magazines including Country Music People, Now Dig This, and Record Collector

Saint Hildegard’s Guide to Wellness
Herbalism, Nutrition, and Health Advice from a Trailblazing Medieval Nun

Born in the German Rhineland, the 12th-century nun established a series of guidelines for holistic wellness that continue to be remarkably relevant nearly a millennium later.

• an overview of Hildegard’s understanding of how the human body operates;
• Hildegardian nutrition tips (eat spelt!);
• information on her 50 favorite herbs and medicinal plants and how they address various ailments—for example, bay laurel for gastrointestinal complaints, garlic to lower blood pressure, masterwort to combat fever, and rosemary to treat coughs and colds; and
• an introduction to her ideas on herbal cosmetics and gemstone medicine.
Sharing Saint Hildegard’s timeless knowledge with a modern audience, this sketch of the trailblazing nun promotes a holistic approach to well-being that continues to resonate even within the fast pace of our contemporary lifestyle.

KKAA
Kengo Kuma & Associates
By Kengo Kuma, Foreword by Michael J. Crosbie
Kuma’s gentle but commanding commentary, accompanied by hundreds of photos and diagrams, focuses on how architectural details reveal his identity across a journey of discovery. This evolution is told in six chapters—Fabric, Mineral, Green, Thatching, Bamboo, and Wood—and covers 38 projects from around the world. Each project has been carefully curated to tell specific developments in this coming-of-age story.
As he explains the details of each project, readers will see more of Kengo Kuma’s creative essence throughout his process. Concepts such as creating softness with hard materials, the relationship between openness and anti-volume, and how to use geometry to mitigate the natural contours of a building site offer clarity on his perspective as an architect.
What unfolds is an architectural vision of craft developed through the exploration of historical processes and expectations, craftsmanship, and artistic skill.
Kengo Kuma established KKAA Kengo Kuma & Associates in 1990. He is currently a university professor and professor emeritus at the University of Tokyo after teaching at Keio University and the University of Tokyo. KKAA projects are currently underway in more than 40 countries. Kengo Kuma proposes architecture that opens up new relationships among nature, technology, and human beings.

From design strategies and challenges to understanding zoning regulations to financing and material selection, this title covers the need-to-know basics on ADUs in addition to presenting expert advice from architects, builders, and homeowners.
Accompanying this information are extensive looks at 15 carefully designed ADUs from the US and Canada, complete with showstopping photos, floor plans, and informative text boxes. Readers will learn unique perspectives from each project, including green building solutions, practical architectural solutions to optimize limited space, and the pitfalls homeowners encountered and resolved.

Timeless Classics Modern Dress Wristwatches
By Steve Huyton
In the world of horology, many trends are transient, but dress-style watches have always appealed to a broad demographic. Here are featured numerous modern interpretations from this genre. Movie idols of the silver screen wore elegant timepieces, and these types of exquisite watches perfectly complement modern ultra-fitted tailoring. Certainly, at formal events, this style of timepiece is an absolute prerequisite.
Previously, gold, steel, and silver were the main materials used in traditional watchmaking. Modern brands are opting for more-contemporary choices such as bronze, carbon, and even sapphire crystal. Brands include LVMH, Richemont, Swatch, A. Lange & Söhne, Aerowatch, Azimuth, and GENUS.
Timeless Classics is probably the most comprehensive book of this type. It features numerous modern interpretations from this genre that illustrate exceptional design merit. As well as selections from the large groups, there are many small microbrands, all presented in high-quality images.
Steve Huyton is a multipublished award-winning author who has a passion for great design. As well as being an accomplished writer, he is also an artist and industrial designer.

A Celebration of Women Who Shaped North America’s Gardening Heritage By
Stefan White
Through tales of invention, creativity, dogged research, innovation, perspiration, and inspiration spanning from the early 1700s to the mid-1980s, Heroines of Horticulture offers readers insight into 100 influential women who met and overcame obstacles to contribute a horticulture legacy that has helped shape the land that surrounds us today in North America.

• Annie Linda Jack (1839–1912): the first Canadian professional female garden writer. Upon her marriage, she had stipulated for 1 acre of land to be devoted to any department of horticulture she chose, the profits to be her own pocket money.
• Mary Gibson Henry (1884–1967): an American botanist and plant collector from Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, who also served as president of the American Horticultural Society. The daylily Hymenocallis henryae is named in her honor.

Just then, Max learns how invaluable the power of magic and his own imagination is, and has a BIG change of heart. Now go away, so Max can read his picture books!

The Astrology of Nations
Casting and Interpreting Charts for Nations, Politics, and Economies
By John Michael Greer
Discover the art of casting and interpreting astrology charts for nations, politics, and economies with this complete guide to the history and practice of mundane astrology. `
The Astrology of Nations explores the little-understood art of mundane astrology— making predictions about the political and economic condition of nations on the basis of planetary movements. Mundane charts are cast in the same way as natal charts, but their delineation—that is, the analysis of factors and their synthesis into a complete picture—follows different rules. Suitable for astrology students of every level, this complete guide
• takes readers from initial theory to practice;
• explores the planetary meanings, houses, and aspects as specific to mundane astrology;
• discusses historical case studies for major planetary happenings and political events; and
• teaches readers how to cast and interpret mundane charts for insights on past, present, and future political events.
The practices of mundane astrology span back through 5,000 years of human history and insight. With The Astrology of Nations, discover more about this fascinating practice and how the stars will continue to influence nations and politics today and beyond.
John Michael Greer is a widely respected authority on Western esoteric spirituality and is the author of more than 70 books and a weekly blog. He is an initiate of a variety of Masonic, Hermetic, and Druidic lineages and lives in Rhode Island.

Have you ever wondered about the mysterious and ancient practice of casting lots and how it might hold the key to unlocking deeper insights in your own life?

The Field Guide to Embroidery
52 North American Animal and Plant Designs for Nature Lovers
By Jessica Kemper
Connect to the wildlife of 7 North American ecosystems by stitching these 52 stunningly beautiful designs, from bears to manatees to prairie dogs and more.
With this fun collection of projects in field-guide format, stitch your favorite animal, bird, fish, and plant species based on the ecosystems you love or live in.
Organized according to seven North American ecosystems—desert, mountain, forest, waterways, prairie, ocean, and urban—the 52 beautifully accurate designs by naturalist Kemper include popular species (think bears, manatees, puffins, and river otters) and some that are less well known or are potentially threatened.
Beginner-level patterns coexist with intermediate and advanced patterns. Learn the materials, stitches (including the one-of-a-kind “fur stitch,” which renders mammal fur beautifully!), and techniques. Measuring approximately 3 inches, the creatures are perfect to adorn any stitchable surface.
A denim jacket with a snappy alligator? A cap featuring a herring gull and ocher sea stars? A tote sporting a Gila monster? Or perhaps there’s a shirt pocket calling for a badger. These designs bring nature anywhere and allow you to wear your favorite wildlife species sustainably.
Jessica Kemper brings awareness to threatened species via wildlife-themed embroidery. She holds degrees in horticulture and environmental studies and has worked at zoos and conservation organizations. Her business Field Guide Embroidery sells hand-embroidered goods featuring her designs. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

Magical Crochet
13 Charming Patterns for Imaginative Crowns, Wings, Unicorns, and More
By Jeanette Bøgelund Bentzen
Stitchers of all skill levels will escape to a place of wonder as they crochet 13 imaginative projects for children.
The 13 projects are eye-catchingly original and range in difficulty from simple to complex. Each features elements made from yarns that are shiny or glittering or offer some other magical gleam. All offer variations and customizing options for the creative crochet fan to enjoy, and result in beautiful items that can be used to decorate, wear, or play with.
The projects are useful anywhere, from living rooms to fantasy worlds, and include essentials like a play crown that can be made in two heights, a backpack with a range of motifs to choose from, a banner perfect for any room, a protective sun hat, a rideable hobbyhorse unicorn, and a set of amazing wings to wear.
These delightful designs reflect the reliably successful patterns and instructions that the author’s known for among her design customers on Ravelry, at her shop aircrochet. com, and on her social media channels. The 13 projects here are inspired by the author’s eureka moment early in her motherhood, when she noticed that children always choose the option that has glitter, and that they agree it’s always better to be a unicorn.
Jeanette Bøgelund Bentzen began crocheting in 2011 and has never looked back. Her careers in furniture design and digital design led her to found the design firm aircrochet.com, where she teaches and sells knitting and crochet designs. She lives in Svendborg, Denmark.

How NASA, the Smithsonian, and the Aerospace Community Helped Launch Star Trek
By Glen E. Swanson, Foreword by Margaret A. Weitekamp
Boldly discover how NASA, the Smithsonian, and the aerospace community helped craft, legitimize, and popularize the beloved television show Star Trek.
Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry sought to create a work of science fiction that would immerse viewers not only through clever storylines and modern visual effects, but also by presenting the story in a scientific and technological context that felt believable. To this end, Roddenberry, a former WWII combat pilot, used his connections in the aerospace industry to seek out the latest and greatest technology.
This book, authored by Glen E. Swanson, former chief historian at the NASA Johnson Space Center, uncovers the story of how NASA, the Smithsonian, and the aerospace industry helped craft, legitimize, and popularize the beloved television show Star Trek. Further context is provided through the discussion of additional factors behind the success of the show, including merchandising and syndication.
Glen Swanson discovered the connection between NASA and Star Trek during his time as chief historian at the Johnson Space Center, a position he held from 1998 to 2002. He is also the founder of Quest: The History of Spaceflight Quarterly, the world’s only peer-reviewed journal focusing on the history of spaceflight, which is now entering its 30th year of continuous publication. He lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The Resurrected Pirate
The Life, Death, and Subsequent Career of the Notorious George Lowther
By Craig S. Chapman
Readers will be launched into the midst of high adventure on seas filled with vile marauders, heroic mariners, and one man who was a little of both.
George Lowther was a mutineer and a pirate, one of the most prolific during the golden age of piracy. His first mate, Edward “Ned” Low, went on to establish himself as perhaps the most sadistic and depraved of all pirate captains. Virtually all popular sources specify Lowther’s death being by suicide in 1723, while marooned on the small island of Blanquilla, off the coast of Venezuela.
While researching the War of Jenkins’ Ear, historian Craig Chapman found repeated references to “Lowther the Pirate” in primary source material. This Lowther was pardoned and commissioned as a Royal Navy lieutenant in 1741. Further research revealed that this was indeed George Lowther.
In this biography, readers will experience the adventures and examine the motivations of this most unusual mariner and come to understand how George Lowther was “resurrected” as a Royal Navy officer, nearly 20 years after the death of his pirate career.
Craig Chapman, an avid researcher and award-winning author, has published three military histories, one of them directly tied to this subject. His style of engaging scholarship is ideally suited to bring an authoritative yet gripping story to readers and keep them turning the pages. Prior to becoming a full-time writer, Craig completed dual careers in information technology and the US Army / National Guard. His work in networking sales and as an infantry officer provided ample experience in public speaking that he has used to promote his past publications on radio broadcasts and before live audiences. He lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his wife, Mary Ann.

Stone Tapestry
A Visual and Historical Guide to the West Point Cemetery
By Robert Holcomb
Full-page profiles of 180 men and women buried at West Point accompany a walking tour of the grounds.
The West Point Cemetery is one of the most beautiful military cemeteries in the world. It is also the resting place of more Medal of Honor recipients per acre than any place in the United States.
Author Robert Holcomb was born on the grounds of the US Military Academy at West Point, graduated from the academy, and served in the US Army for 20 years. His parents are buried at the West Point Cemetery, and it was during his father’s funeral that he was inspired by the great beauty and serenity of the place.
Hundreds of original photographs accompany a walking tour of the cemetery, including the Old Cadet Chapel and the Caretakers Cottage.
However, this is not only a guide to the grounds but also a highly readable and informative historical work. Through the detailed biographies of 180 men and women buried at West Point, Holcomb goes beyond the headstones to provide an insight into the greater history of the academy and of the US Army.
Robert Holcomb (Lt. Col., Ret.) was born on the grounds at West Point. He graduated from the US Military Academy in 1973. His parents are buried in the West Point Cemetery. Holcomb has a PhD in information technology and lives in Virginia.
