The most accessible and complete visual arts guide available, and an indispensable resource for art students and enthusiasts alike.

Kathryn Shields is an art historian who specializes in modern and contemporary art. Over 800 illustrations 27.5 x 21.5cm 624pp ISBN 978 0 500 239438 September ÂŁ39.95

This bestselling and comprehensive introductory book uses a four-part structure to cover all aspects of the visual arts. Part 1 introduces the visual language of art, while Part 2 explains how art is made, from such traditional media and processes as stone carving, fresco and oil painting, to contemporary approaches, such as digital and conceptual art and installations. Part 3 offers an overview of the history of art from prehistoric times to the 21st century in all parts of the world. Finally, Part 4 examines art through the major themes that, across cultures and throughout history, have inspired artists to create great works of art. The book features more than 800 images of art, which offer stimulating insights into the visual arts. Additionally, the authors have selected eight iconic works that represent the extraordinary variety of art created throughout time and around the world. As these great works are examined from different points of view in the four parts of the book, the reader gains a deeper understanding of the skill involved in artistic creation, and the endless expressive possibilities of art. This is a beautifully illustrated, dynamic and accessible book that emphasizes the astonishing diversity of art in all its forms. It will appeal as much to the art lover as to those looking for an outstanding educational resource.

Bill Viola John G. Hanhardt and Kira Perov

The first comprehensively illustrated monograph on the work of Bill Viola, one of the most original and poetic artists of his generation.

John G. Hanhardt is a consulting senior curator of ﬁlm and media arts at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC. Kira Perov is executive director of Bill Viola Studio. She has worked closely with Bill Viola, her husband and partner, since the late 1970s. 350 illustrations 28.5 x 26.0cm 260pp ISBN 978 0 500 093924 September £40.00

Bill Viola began experimenting with video art in the early 1970s; today, he is considered one of the foremost proponents of the medium, captivating audiences around the world with his profound and beautifully wrought explorations of the human condition. Bill Viola is the first monograph to chart the artist’s career in full, from his education in Syracuse, New York, to the inauguration in 2014 of Martyrs (Earth, Air, Fire, Water), a work specially commissioned for St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. John G. Hanhardt outlines the key visual, literary, and spiritual influences on Viola’s work, together with his changing approach to the moving image in response to advances in technology. Woven into the discussion are numerous illustrations of Viola’s most significant works, including Information (1973), The Greeting (1995) and Going Forth By Day (2002), as well as reproductions of his sketches and notebook entries, which bring his working methods to life. Bill Viola offers a rare and fascinating account of one of contemporary art’s most powerful creative minds.

One of the world’s most powerful creative practitioners reflects on the ideas, processes and histories behind his craft.

Antony Gormley on Sculpture Antony Gormley

Antony Gormley, sculptor and installation artist, was awarded the Turner Prize in 1994 and has been a Royal Academician since 2003. A former editor of Aperture magazine, Mark Holborn is the author of several books, including Shape of Things to Come: New Sculpture (with Meghan Dailey). 119 illustrations 21.6 x 17.2cm 240pp ISBN 978 0 500 093955 October £19.95

Edited by Mark Holborn

Antony Gormley occupies an unusual position as a highly popular sculptor – known especially for his Angel of the North (1998), a national landmark in the UK – who is also widely regarded as one of the most intellectually engaged artists working internationally. He is grounded in archaeology and anthropology, and looks to Asian and Buddhist traditions as much as to Western sculptural history, which he believes reached a punctuation point with Rodin. This is the first book to focus on Gormley’s thoughts on sculpture, positioning his career and artistic philosophy in relation to its history. The book is structured thematically over four chapters: the first, ‘Body Space and Body Time: Living in Sculpture’, explores Gormley’s thoughts on the body, time and space in relation to examples of his own work. The second chapter, ‘Sculptors’, was first delivered as a series of lectures for the BBC; in each, Gormley discusses a sculpture he considers to be of huge creative importance: Epstein’s Rock Drill (1913–15), Brancusi’s Endless Column (1935–38), Giacometti’s La Place (1948–49), Joseph Beuys’s Plight (1985) and Richard Serra’s The Matter of Time (2005). In the third chapter, ‘Mindfulness’, Gormley outlines the influence of Buddhist and Jain sculpture on his work and ideas. The fourth chapter, ‘Expansion’, explores some of the artist’s most recent sculptures. Beautifully packaged in a cloth-bound reading-book format, and presented in Gormley’s own voice, this book captures the universal resonance of an artist with an unerring ability to tap into the public consciousness.

Listening to Stone The Art and Life of Isamu Noguchi Hayden Herrera

A critical biography of one of the most prolific and original artists of the 20th century, Isamu Noguchi. ‘A sweeping portrait of a rebel genius who was able to make a difference doing the work he most loved’ L. Steven Sieden, author of Buckminster Fuller’s Universe: His Life and Work

‘An engrossing tale of the most inventive artist of the 20th century’ Nicholas Fox Weber, author of The Bauhaus Group: Six Masters of Modernism

Hayden Herrera is the author of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated Arshile Gorky: His Life and Work; Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo; and Matisse: A Portrait. Her biography of Frida Kahlo was made into an Academy Awardnominated ﬁlm in 2002, directed by Julie Taymor and starring Salma Hayek. 132 illustrations 24.0 x 16.5cm 592pp ISBN 978 0 500 093986 September £24.95

Isamu Noguchi was a vital figure in 20th-century art and design. From interlocking wooden sculptures to massive steel monuments to Zen-like granite gardens and the elegant Akari lamps, he became a master of what he called the ‘sculpturing of space’. Combining the personal correspondence of and interviews with Noguchi and those closest to him – from artists, patrons, assistants and lovers – Hayden Herrera has written the authoritative biography of the man. Noguchi was elusive, forever uprooting himself to reinvigorate what he called the ‘keen edge of originality’. Yet Herrera locates him in his friendships with artists such as Buckminster Fuller and Arshile Gorky, and in his affairs with women such as Frida Kahlo. Herrera reveals his playfulness and his intense immersion in his work, from designing sets for Martha Graham to creating the Noguchi Museum in Queens. A rich meditation on art in a globalized milieu, Listening to Stone is a moving portrait of an artist compulsively driven to reinvent himself as he searched for his own ‘essence of sculpture’.

Weatherland Writers and Artists Under English Skies Alexandra Harris

A ground-breaking book by the winner of the Guardian First Book Award that explores English literary and artistic responses to the weather over a thousand years. ‘A dazzling journey through the weatherworlds of English culture and history’ Robert Macfarlane

‘In Alexandra Harris’s deeply felt, richly observed and brilliantly articulated book the weathered life of England is superbly on view … Prepare to be drenched and delighted in equal measure by the best written downpour England has ever witnessed’ Tim Dee

Here is the story of English culture over a thousand years told through the creative responses to the weather. Writers and artists across the centuries, from Chaucer to Ian McEwan, and from the creator of the Luttrell Psalter in the 14th century to John Piper in the 20th, looking up at the same skies and walking in the same brisk air, have felt very different things and woven them into their novels, poems and paintings. The weather is vast and yet we experience it intimately, which is why Alexandra Harris builds her remarkable story from small evocative details. There is the drawing of a 12th-century man in February, warming bare toes by the fire. There is the tiny glass left behind from the Frost Fair of 1684, and the ‘Sunspan’ house in Angmering that embodies the bright ambitions of the 1930s. Harris catches the distinct voices of compelling individuals. ‘Bloody cold’, says Jonathan Swift in the ‘slobbery’ January of 1713. Percy Shelley wants to become a cloud, and John Ruskin wants to bottle one. Weatherland is both a sweeping panorama of cultural climates on the move and an intimate account rich with evocative details – for although weather, like culture, is vast, it is experienced physically, emotionally and spiritually; as Harris so cleverly reveals, it is at the very core of what it means to be English.

7 Alexandra Harris is a cultural historian and writer. Since winning the Guardian First Book Award and a Somerset Maugham Award for Romantic Moderns (2010), she has written a short biography of Virginia Woolf as well as many essays and reviews. She is a Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Liverpool and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. Over 60 illustrations 22.9 x 15.2cm 384pp ISBN 978 0 500 518113 September £24.95

A many-faceted history of selfportraiture, telling the vivid history of the artworks that offer the deepest insights into an artist’s personal, psychological and creative world. ‘There is never a dull passage in this book … Hall manages to retain the intellectual high ground while writing with verve and enthusiasm’ Frances Spalding, The Guardian

The Self-Portrait A Cultural History James Hall 8 James Hall is an art historian, lecturer and broadcaster, and is a visiting research fellow at the University of Southampton. He is the author of four critically acclaimed books, including The World as Sculpture: The Changing Status of Sculpture from the Renaissance to the Present Day and The Sinister Side: How Left-Right Symbolism Shaped Western Art. 120 illustrations 22.9 x 15.2cm 288pp paperback ISBN 978 0 500 292112 August £18.95

In this broad cultural survey, James Hall brilliantly maps the history of selfportraiture, from the earliest myths of Narcissus and the Christian tradition of ‘bearing witness’ to the prolific self-image-making of today’s contemporary artists. Along the way he reveals the importance of the medieval ‘mirror craze’; the confessional self-portraits of Titian and Michelangelo; the role of biography for serial self-portraitists such as Courbet and van Gogh; themes of sex and genius in works by Munch and Bonnard; and the latest developments in our globalized age. Hall covers the full range of self-portraits, from comic and caricature self-portraits to ‘invented’ or imaginary ones, and looks deeply into the worlds and mindsets of the artists who have created them. Offering a rich and lively history, this is an essential read for all those interested in this most enduringly popular and humane of art forms.

The Munich Art Hoard Hitler’s Dealer and His Secret Legacy Catherine Hickley

The world’s leading journalist in the field of Nazi-looted art tells the story of Hitler’s art dealer, Hildebrand Gurlitt, and his incredible collection.

In February 2012, in a Munich flat belonging to an elderly recluse, German customs authorities seized more than 1,280 paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures by artists including Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Otto Dix and Paul Klee. When Cornelius Gurlitt’s trove became public in November 2013, it caused a worldwide media sensation. Catherine Hickley has delved into archives and conducted dozens of interviews to uncover the story behind the headlines. Her book illuminates a dark period of German history, untangling a web of deceit and silence that has prevented the heirs of Jewish collectors from recovering art stolen from their families more than seven decades ago by the Nazis. Tracing the origins of the Munich hoard takes us from the street-corner battles of Kristallnacht in Breslau, Silesia, to modern-day Madison Avenue in New York; from the charred ruins of post-war Dresden to the cosy prosperity of the Swiss capital Berne in 2014. We witness the shady dealings of the Paris art world in the 1940s and listen in on political debates in modern-day Berlin, as politicians and lawyers puzzle over the inadequacies of a legal framework that to this day falls short in securing justice for the heirs of those robbed by the Nazis.

Catherine Hickley is the world’s leading journalist in the ﬁeld of Nazi-looted art. In a sixteen-year career at Bloomberg News, she reported on arts and culture from Berlin for eight years, following stints as a reporter covering German politics, as Berlin bureau chief and as the editor managing European government news. 40 illustrations 23.4 x 15.6cm 272pp ISBN 978 0 500 252154 September £19.95

Picturing People The New State of the Art Charlotte Mullins

Charlotte Mullins is an art historian, writer and broadcaster. A former editor of Art Review, V&A Magazine and Art Quarterly, she has written numerous books on visual art including Painting People, also published by Thames & Hudson. 201 illustrations 27.5 x 23.0cm 192pp ISBN 978 0 500 239384 September £24.95

Figurative art is riding high in the zeitgeist. Contemporary works of figuration grace the walls of public institutions and commercial galleries alike. From the champions of paint such as Katherine Bernhardt and Adrian Ghenie to photographic artists such as Gillian Wearing and Cindy Sherman, from the drawings of Charles Avery to Grayson Perry’s tapestries and Kara Walker’s silhouettes, artists everywhere are exploring new ways to depict the human form. In Picturing People Charlotte Mullins explores the reasons behind this resurgence and considers what the figure means to the artists who use it in their practice. Some ask questions about how marks coalesce into figures. Some draw on photographic imagery, some on art’s own history to make sense of the digital present. Some seem to be influenced by scientific developments or philosophy as they invent parallel worlds; others lose the individual in critiques of capitalist or communist socio-economic models. This accessible introduction is a companion to Mullins’s hugely popular book Painting People. It features recent work by 70 new artists, all of whom successfully employ the figure to help make sense of the mercurial, fastpaced and challenging world we live in.

Rubens in Private The Master Portrays His Family Edited by Ben van Beneden

The first ever book dedicated to the private work of the most public painter of the 17th century.

Ben van Beneden is the Director of the Rubens House, Antwerp. 200 illustrations 29.0 x 24.3cm 272pp ISBN 978 0 500 093962 July £35.00

Michelangelo regarded portraiture as a trivial genre, and Peter Paul Rubens did not instantly develop a preference for it either. Yet Rubens succeeded, as none other, in endowing his portraits with an almost palpable sense of immediacy, and was to become one of the greatest portraitists of all time. This book, which accompanies the major exhibition at the Rubens House in Antwerp, takes a fresh look at Rubens’s most intimate works, re-examining their functions and meanings, and reconsiders them in the context of the master’s life and his social and artistic concerns. His most beautiful and surprising portraits are those of his immediate family. These intimate pictures were not intended for public display and are therefore considerably freer and more experimental than the likenesses he painted of influential patrons. Nothing about these private images seems idealized. They are uncommonly honest and veracious and at the same time expressive of great tenderness. While the hundreds of letters he wrote reveal very little about his emotional life, Rubens’s portraits of family members testify in a special way to the affection he felt for his first and second wives, his brother and his children.

An engaging account that places Cézanne’s drawings and watercolours at the heart of the artist’s endeavour.

Paul Cézanne Drawings and Watercolours Christopher Lloyd

Christopher Lloyd, formerly Surveyor of the Queen’s Pictures, is the author of numerous books and catalogues, including Edgar Degas: Drawings and Pastels and In Search of a Masterpiece: An Art Lover’s Guide to Great Britain and Ireland, also published by Thames & Hudson. 226 illustrations 22.9 x 15.2cm 320pp ISBN 978 0 500 093870 August £24.95

Also available

978 0 500 093818 £24.95

Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) was the greatest painter of his day. Honouring tradition while also challenging it, his novel approach was announced and practised as much in his drawings and watercolours as in his paintings. This book uses the works on paper to trace the development of Cézanne’s style and to explore the character of his art. Throughout his life the painter made hundreds of drawings in sketchbooks, but many of the watercolours dating from the 1890s were undertaken as works of art in their own right. These watercolours – most of them landscapes and still lifes executed in Provence in the south of France – rank among the finest achievements from any period in that difficult medium. Cézanne’s works on paper are diverse in subject matter and execution, extending through copies after other masters, studies of his immediate family and their domestic surroundings and preliminary ideas for finished compositions. The practice of drawing was for Cézanne a vital and lifeaffirming aspect of his overall approach to art, revealing him as someone deeply committed to devising a process for comprehending and recording the world as he saw it as objectively as possible. The result is some of the most absorbing art ever created.

Piet Mondrian: The Studios Amsterdam, Laren, Paris, London, New York Edited by Cees W. de Jong

An exploration of Piet Mondrian’s instantly recognizable work, inspired by the cities that influenced him.

Cees W. de Jong is a designer, publisher and curator. Illustrated in colour throughout 27.0 x 21.0cm 240pp ISBN 978 0 500 239353 September £29.95

Here is a visual journey through Piet Mondrian’s life and career via the artist’s studios, following his path from Amsterdam to Laren, and then Paris, London and New York. Each location represents a distinct stage in the development of Mondrian’s art, from the naturalistic paintings of the 1890s and the experimental neo-Impressionist works of the early 20th century, to his involvement with the De Stijl movement and his famous grid paintings, and finally the bold dynamism of his late work in the United States, inspired by the rhythms of jazz and the buzzing metropolis. Mondrian saw his studios as more than just workspaces; they were the embodiment of his artistic and philosophical ideas. As his art took simplification of form to an extreme, the walls of his studios became ever-changing planes up which coloured rectangles climbed. Illustrated by a wealth of paintings as well as personal photographs, documents and texts written by Mondrian himself, the book captures every facet of this uncompromising artist’s quest to represent the spirit of the modern world.

Francis Bacon Five Decades Edited by Anthony Bond 18

An engrossing introduction to the life and work of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

Anthony Bond was assistant director and head of international art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales from 1992 to 2013. He is now a freelance art writer and curator. Over 215 illustrations 27.5 x 22.0cm 240pp Paperback ISBN 978 0 500 291955 July £24.95

Francis Bacon (1909–92) was one of the great figurative painters of the 20th century. This book, newly available in paperback, provides a thorough account of the life and work of this complex and conflicted artist, whose paintings retain their visceral impact and relevance today. Essays by international scholars provide revealing insights into Bacon’s art and life, and some fifty art works from every decade of his career – from the pensive and shocking works of the 1940s to the exuberantly coloured and visceral large paintings of the 1970s and ’80s – show Bacon’s unique representations of the human body through his mastery of paint. Over 150 additional illustrations portray his studio, friends and lovers, and reveal the diversity of his source materials, from Velázquez to the motion photos of Eadweard Muybridge.

Intimate Geometries The Art and Life of Louise Bourgeois Robert Storr

The most comprehensive book on the work and life of Louise Bourgeois ever published, by the leading authority on the artist.

Louise Bourgeois was a prolific artist known for her highly personal body of work consisting of sculptures, installations, drawing and prints that deal with themes of memory, trauma, fear and hidden emotion. Bourgeois first received international acclaim in the 1990s, when the artist was in her eighties, for her ambitious series of Cells: small room-like sculptures containing arrangements of symbolic objects intended to elicit emotional and psychological responses in the viewer. Here, for the first time, her vast oeuvre is interwoven with a fascinating discussion of the full range of ideas, emotions and experiences that inspired the creation of her work. Renowned critic and curator Robert Storr, acknowledged as Bourgeois’s leading interpreter, presents a chronological account of the artist’s career, weaving in thematic discussions accompanied by sequential ‘portfolios’ of the artist’s work. An introduction outlining the artist’s career is followed by chapters examining her childhood; Bourgeois’s education, early career and emigration to the US; her mid-career ‘disappearance’ and her gradual return to prominence during the 1980s; and her late career as high-profile celebrity artist, exhibiting across the world until her death in 2011. The final chapter examines Bourgeois’s profound and ongoing artistic legacy.

Robert Storr is among the most esteemed curators and critical writers on art today. He was appointed professor of painting/ printmaking and dean of the Yale School of Art in 2006 and is also Consulting Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. 900 illustrations 33.0 x 28.0cm 752pp Hardback in a suitcase ISBN 978 0 500 093849 November £98.00

The long-awaited definitive monograph on one of the key proponents of Pop Art, Derek Boshier.

Derek Boshier Rethink/Re-entry Edited by Paul Gorman 20 Paul Gorman is a London-based author, blogger and cultural commentator. He has contributed to many leading magazines and national newspapers and is currently a writer for GQ. Gorman’s books include The Look: Adventures In Rock & Pop Fashion and Reasons To Be Cheerful: The Life & Work Of Barney Bubbles. 300 illustrations 28.5 x 23.0cm 288pp ISBN 978 0 500 093887 October £29.95

With a foreword by David Hockney

Taking as his subject icons of consumerism and American popular culture, Derek Boshier made his name in the 1960s as one of the key proponents of British Pop Art, along with contemporaries David Hockney, Peter Blake and Pauline Boty. Since then, his output has been exceptionally diverse, including collage, book design, set design and illustration, as well as photography, film and sculpture. Derek Boshier: Rethink/Re-entry traces Boshier’s formidable career. Beginning with his rise to prominence in the early 1960s, it follows his abandonment of painting in the 1970s and his experimentation with new modes of expression, such as collage and illustration, as exemplified by his iconic sleeve design for David Bowie’s album Lodger and his drawings for CLASH 2nd Songbook. The chapters on the 1980s detail Boshier’s return to painting, in particular his adoption of the Texan cowboy as the subject for his ‘Cowboy’ series. The 1990s saw him relocate to Los Angeles, where he encountered a culture and iconography that provided rich source material for his later works. Featuring essays by leading academics, curators, critics and practitioners – each of which is introduced by a new Boshier artwork – Derek Boshier: Rethink/Re-entry is the definitive monograph of this most distinctive of great British artists.

George Condo Painting Reconfigured Simon Baker

The definitive monograph on the iconoclastic painter George Condo.

With his arresting, unsettling style, George Condo emerged out of the dynamism of the New York art scene in the early 1980s, and he has been restlessly painting, drawing and sculpting – bringing forms into the world in one way or another – ever since. Reliably inconsistent, Condo’s references and inspirations, in both style and content, ricochet deliriously around the canon of western art history. Somewhere between his fake Tiepolos, reconfigured Manets, impossibly intricate paintings that seem to be abstract until you get up close, his perpetually screaming cubist hags and the orgiastic misdemeanours of Rodrigo, Condo has invented, mastered and expanded not just one painterly language but the whole lexicon. Working closely with the artist, writer and art historian Simon Baker has combined biographical, chronological and thematic approaches to survey George Condo’s work and career to date. An introductory essay on Condo’s contradictory nature and a chapter exploring his early career are followed by three thematic chapters that look at the years from 1984 to the present, tracing Condo’s different systematic approaches to the language of painting, exploring his relationship to the concept of abstraction, and probing the darker side of his psychological iconography.

Simon Baker is Curator of Photography and International Art at Tate. Prior to becoming Tate’s ﬁrst curator of photography in 2009, he was Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Nottingham. Over 300 illustrations 31.0 x 26.0cm 288pp Flexibound ISBN 978 0 500 093948 October £48.00

Art & Religion in the 21st Century Aaron Rosen

A timely and thought-provoking survey of the relationship between art and religion in contemporary culture, illustrated by some of the most compelling and provocative works from across the globe.

Artists discussed include Ai Weiwei, Francis Alÿs, Vanessa Beecroft, Maurizio Cattelan, Cristo and Jeanne-Claude, Olafur Eliasson, Tracey Emin, Antony Gormley, Mona Hatoum, David LaChapelle, Richard Long, Annette Messager, Mariko Mori, Grayson Perry, Richard Serra, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Bill Viola, Mark Wallinger and more

Aaron Rosen is the lecturer in Sacred Traditions and the Arts, King’s College, London. He is the author of Imagining Jewish Art and the editor of Religion and Art in the Heart of Modern Manhattan. 240 illustrations 27.0 x 22.6cm 256pp ISBN 978 0 500 239315 October £32.00

Contrary to the expectations of 20th-century rationalists, religion has not faded away in the 21st century, but roared back onto the scene with renewed vitality. This survey shows how religious themes and images continue to permeate the work of contemporary artists from across the globe. Some exploit the shock potential of religious imagery, but many also reflect deeply on spiritual matters. The introduction outlines the debates and controversies that the art– religion connection has precipitated throughout history. Each of the book’s ten chapters opens by introducing a theme – ideas about creation, the sublime, wonder, diaspora and exile, religious and political conflict, ritual practice, mourning and monumentalizing, environmental art and sacred space – followed by a selection of works of art that develop that theme. The book encompasses a wide range of media and genres, from sculpture to street art, and considers faith in its broadest sense – from Islam and Christianity to Aboriginal mythology and meditation. Art & Religion in the 21st Century is essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary art and culture.

Joana Vasconcelos Material World With texts by Enrique Juncosa and Crispin Sartwell

A monograph on Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos, focusing on her extraordinary work with textiles.

Enrique Juncosa is a writer and a curator based in Spain. He was director of the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, from 2003 to 2012. Crispin Sartwell teaches philosophy at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. 294 illustrations 32.0 x 29.0cm 344pp ISBN 978 0 500 970720 October £70.00

Joana Vasconcelos has become one the most respected and sought-after artists of the 21st century. She is known for using non-traditional materials, and particularly textiles, to create monumental and expansive works that intrigue, inspire and entertain the viewer: her chandelier decorated with tampons caused a sensation at the Venice Biennale in 2005, and she has since had solo exhibitions at Versailles and Manchester Art Gallery. Vasconcelos aims to re-present and subvert everyday objects, often manipulating scale and form, and is keenly interested in the role of women and items associated with them. This book focuses on her extraordinary works in textiles. It highlights in particular her ‘Valkyries’ series, vibrant patchwork extravaganzas that weave together knitting and crochet with silk, velvets, recycled clothes and industrially produced textiles embellished with Portuguese tassels, crystals and beads. Enrique Juncosa and Crispin Sartwell offer thoughtful and in-depth overviews of her work and its development over the past fourteen years.

Anselm Kiefer Dominique Baqué

A new monograph that examines the foundation of Kiefer’s work: memory and our response to it.

Dominique Baqué writes widely on art and photography, is the author of a number of books on those subjects. 250 illustrations 32.0 x 24.5cm 300pp ISBN 978 0 500 093993 November £48.00

The work of Anselm Kiefer begins with a crucial question. How, after the Holocaust, can one be an artist within the German tradition? Born at the end of the Second World War, Kiefer’s career represents a quasi-existential quest to redefine Germanness. This new monograph examines the foundation of Kiefer’s work: memory and our response to it. Kiefer’s work is informed by great literary works, myths, tales and legends, and particularly the world of Kabbalistic mysticism. This book explores his passion for alchemy, his admiration for great female figures obscured by history, and his relationship with the landscape and nature, a notable topic of his most recent works. Steeped in culture, Kiefer mixes many forms and media. The ‘total work of art’ has characterized his work for more than four decades. Art historian Dominique Baqué highlights an aspect of Kiefer’s work here that has received very little critical attention before now: his conceptual understanding of the book and photography. She also considers the often overlooked performance element of his work, starting with his first ‘actions’ from the end of the 1960s.

Abstract Expressionism David Anfam Abstract Expressionism is the most important art movement since the Second World War. Although it is often considered a revolution in painting alone – for the images created by such leading figures as Jackson Pollock, Clyfford Still, Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko remain altogether extraordinary – its radical spirit extended further, encompassing the sculpture of David Smith and Aaron Siskind’s photography. Along with other key artists such as Barnett Newman and Franz Kline, these artists formed a nucleus united not just against the tensions of American society from the 1930s onwards, but also in their aim to forge diverse new visual languages. David Anfam, curator of the major Abstract Expressionism show at the Royal Academy in 2016, explores the movement in terms of its political implications and rich cultural contexts, bringing many fresh insights to the works themselves. Taking into account a wealth of scholarship, this new edition also has nearly one hundred works reproduced in colour.

An essential guide to art practice since 1989, written by one of the most exciting new voices in cultural criticism.

Art Since 1989 Kelly Grovier The last few decades have seen a complete untethering of what art can be, who makes it and where it can be found, which has been matched by a reassessment of art’s appropriate place in society and the financial value that should be attached to it. Here, Kelly Grovier surveys the dynamic developments in art practice worldwide since 1989, going in search of those artists who have undertaken to shape a fresh visual vocabulary and whose work reflects on these turbulent years. The book’s ten chapters examine the key themes in contemporary art, from portraiture in the age of face transplants and facial recognition software, to political activism, science and religion. Artists discussed include Jeff Koons, Louise Bourgeois, Damien Hirst, George Condo, Marlene Dumas, Sean Scully, Cindy Sherman, Banksy, Ai Weiwei, Antony Gormley, Christo and Jean-Claude, Jenny Holzer, Chuck Close and Cornelia Parker. The final chapter, a timeline, traces the evolution of art practice in this period by looking closely at one key artwork from each year. Kelly Grovier is a brilliant new voice whose writing conveys the excitement, relevance and universality of contemporary art. His new book will become essential reading for all students of contemporary art and art history, as well as anyone with an interest in contemporary visual culture.

Bio Art Altered Realities William Myers

The first authoritative guide to an emerging field of artistic practice at the boundary of art and science.

Bio Art is an emerging art practice that responds to the new and often distorting realities revealed by the advance of the sciences. Presenting work by more than sixty contemporary artists who blend techniques from the laboratory – such as tissue culturing and genetic engineering – with traditional art-making, this book traces the roots of bio artistic practice and explores this expanding field. The results, both beautiful and alarming, offer new meanings for our lives in the wake of scientific discovery, and evoke an ominous future where human manipulation of the natural world has altered cultural norms. Four thematic chapters probe the key areas in which biotechnology has had an impact on today’s world, from ecology and biomedicine to designer genomes and evolutionary theory, profiling works by artists, collectives and organizations from countries including France, Germany, the US, the Netherlands, Canada, Mexico and Japan. Interviews with eight leading bio artists and technologists provide a deeper insight into the ideas and methods of this new breed of creative practitioner. Bio Art will appeal to artists and scientists interested in cross-disciplinary practice, as well as critics, students and anyone with a fascination for the evolving cultural perception and representation of scientific change.

William Myers is a writer, curator and teacher based in Amsterdam. He is the author of BioDesign: Nature + Science + Creativity, also published by Thames & Hudson. Currently he mentors students at the Design Academy Eindhoven and serves as the jury chairman for the Bio Art and Design Awards in the Netherlands. 311 illustrations 25.5 x 21.0cm 256pp ISBN 978 0 500 239322 October £29.95

Monet’s Trees Paintings and Drawings by Claude Monet Ralph Skea

A celebration of one of the best-loved landscape painters of the last 150 years, exploring Monet’s work through his life-long fascination with the natural world.

Ralph Skea is former Senior Lecturer in European Urban Conservation at the University of Dundee. He is the author of Vincent’s Gardens and Vincent’s Trees, both published by Thames & Hudson. 75 illustrations 23.0 x 16.0cm 112pp ISBN 978 0 500 239407 October £12.95

‘I perhaps owe it to flowers’, wrote Claude Monet (1840–1926), ‘that I became a painter.’ One of the leading figures of the Impressionist movement and perhaps the most celebrated landscape painter of his age, Monet dedicated his life to capturing the subtleties of the natural world. Trees – willows enveloped in the eerie mists of the Seine, palm trees beneath the bright Mediterranean sun or poplars heavily laden with snow – became a significant motif in his work, and he used them to experiment with an extraordinary variety of tones and colours. Ralph Skea’s account is split into five main chapters, each focusing on a different theme: Monet’s earliest drawings and paintings of trees; his atmospheric use of rivers and coastlines, from the English Channel to the Italian Riviera; the fields, farmlands and orchards of France; parks and gardens in both the city and the countryside, including his series of paintings featuring trees reflected in his water-lily pond; and his muted depictions of trees in winter. The result is a succinct and highly accessible exploration of some of the best-loved landscapes in art.

The Evolution of Type A Graphic Guide to 100 Landmark Typefaces Tony Seddon

Examines 100 landmark typefaces, from the type used by Johannes Gutenberg to produce his 42-line Bible to the latest digital fonts.

Tony Seddon is a freelance designer, project manager and writer. He has written or co-written nearly ten books, among them Type Team and Greetings from Retro Design, both published by Thames & Hudson. Stephen Coles is an editor, typographer and author of The Anatomy of Type. Illustrated throughout 24.6 x 19.0cm 256pp ISBN 978 0 500 241486 August ÂŁ19.95

Foreword by Stephen Coles

The Evolution of Type takes the reader on a journey through the development of type design and typographic style from the mid-15th century to the present day, by way of 100 typefaces. Chosen to represent the key elements of style and form used by the punch cutters, calligraphers and designers of their day, and presented in chronological order according to release date, each typeface is discussed in terms of its origins and its impact on the design and print industry, and latterly the additional considerations for screen use. Versions released in metal-foundry type for hand-setting, as hot-metal type for the monotype and linotype machines, as phototype, and as digital revivals or originals, are covered in detail alongside information about the people responsible for the design and development of each adaptation of the typeface. Key glyphs from each face are annotated to indicate the specific features that mark out how typeface design has evolved over the last 500 or so years, and visual comparisons illustrate how typefaces created years ago have influenced the design of many contemporary releases. For the general reader, this book offers a thorough history of the typefaces we have been reading for decades; for typographers and designers, it is a valuable resource that will help to inform their choice of the most appropriate typeface for a project.

Dennis Stock: James Dean Dennis Stock 36

An intimate visual portrait of the starcrossed Hollywood icon James Dean through the eyes of one of his closest friends, Magnum photographer Dennis Stock.

Dennis Stock was a member of Magnum Photos from 1951 until his death in 2010. Joe Hyams was a Hollywood columnist. He wrote or co-wrote some thirty books, including James Dean: Little Boy Lost in 1992. 97 photographs 30.0 x 23.0cm 144pp ISBN 978 0 500 544518 November £24.95

Introduction by Joe Hyams

In the words of the Life magazine article that accompanied the first publication of these photographs, James Dean was ‘the most exciting actor to hit Hollywood since Marlon Brando’. But at the time they were taken, he was still poised on the brink of fame, a charismatic figure more isolated and alone than recognized and celebrated. Dennis Stock and James Dean struck up a friendship in the winter of 1954–55, and the idea of a collaboration formed. It was Stock’s ambition to ‘reveal the environments that affected and shaped the unique character of James Byron Dean.’ And indeed, Stock captures the essence of James Dean in a stunning series of images of the actor in the midst of family, friends and colleagues as well as alone, reading, sleeping, lost in thought, in the frozen fields of Indiana, on a rainy day in Times Square. It was an extraordinary collaboration of two people, Stock and Dean, in full command of their respective talents, to the extent that the project and their friendship have been dramatized in a feature film, itself called Life, directed by Anton Corbijn and starring Robert Pattinson as Stock and Dane DeHaan as Dean. These iconic photographs taken at the dawn and high noon of a brief and brilliant career are presented with Dennis Stock’s original text and a later introduction by Joe Hyams, the author of the definitive biography of Dean. Dennis Stock: James Dean is the most intimate and searching visual portrait of the incandescent but star-crossed Hollywood icon.

Woody Allen A Retrospective Tom Shone

The definitive illustrated monograph on one of modern cinema’s major auteurs. ‘I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.’ Woody Allen

He is the author of Blockbuster: How Hollywood Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Summer, In the Rooms and Scorsese: A Retrospective, the last also published by Thames & Hudson.

Woody Allen is a uniquely innovative performer, writer and director with nearly 50 movies to his credit, from cult slapstick films and romantic comedies to introspective character studies and crime thrillers. Classics such as Annie Hall, Manhattan, Stardust Memories, Broadway Danny Rose and Hannah and Her Sisters still resonate, and more recently Midnight in Paris and Blue Jasmine have been notable successes. Famously indifferent to award ceremonies, and having never accepted an Oscar in person, Allen has won numerous accolades for his directing and writing, including four Oscars, nine BAFTAs, two Golden Globes and, in 2014, the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille award for his contribution to cinema. In this timely retrospective, Tom Shone reviews Woody Allen’s entire career. His informed commentaries are combined with many classic quotes from Allen that define the director’s self-deprecating humour and acute thinking about his life and times. Superbly illustrated with more than 250 key images, this is a fitting tribute to one of the masters of modern cinema, published to mark his 80th birthday.

Lee Miller A Woman’s War Hilary Roberts

Tells the story beyond the battlefields of the Second World War by way of Miller’s extraordinary photographs of the women whose lives were affected.

Hilary Roberts is the Imperial War Museum Curator of Photography. Antony Penrose is Lee Miller’s son. Among his other titles are The Lives of Lee Miller, a biography of his mother, and the children’s book The Boy Who Bit Picasso. 176 illustrations 28.0 x 23.0cm 224pp ISBN 978 0 500 518182 October £29.95

Introduction by Antony Penrose

Lee Miller photographed innumerable women during her career, first as a fashion photographer and then as a journalist during the Second World War, documenting the social consequences of the conflict, particularly the impact of the war on women across Europe. Her work as a war photographer is perhaps that for which she is best remembered – in fact she was among the 20th century’s most important photographers on the subject. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Imperial War Museum, Lee Miller: A Woman’s War tells the story beyond the battlefields of the Second World War by way of Miller’s extraordinary photographs of the women whose lives were affected. Introductions by Hilary Roberts and Antony Penrose, Lee Miller’s son, precede Miller’s work, which is divided into chronological chapters. Miller’s photographs, many previously unpublished, are accompanied by extended captions that place the images within the context of women’s roles within the landscape of war.

Also available

978 0 500 051818 £24.95

978 0 500 251393 £24.95

Juliet Hacking has been programme director of the MA in Photography (Contemporary and Historical) at Sotheby’s Institute of Art, London, since 2006. She was the general editor of Photography: The Whole Story, also published by Thames & Hudson. 120 illustrations 24.6 x 18.6cm 304pp ISBN 978 0 500 544440 September £28.00

While certain photographs have become world-famous images indelibly printed on the cultural consciousness, the stories of those who have taken them have been all too often distorted, obfuscated or overlooked, the social and political environments misunderstood or forgotten. By evoking the lives and backgrounds of the great pioneering photographers, Juliet Hacking forges a greater understanding of each one and sheds new light on their work. Here are figures working in reportage, portraiture, fashion and fine art: Diane Arbus, Claude Cahun, Lewis Carroll, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Man Ray and Robert Mapplethorpe are just a few of those featured. Beginning with a rarely seen portrait or self-portrait, each biographical entry also features some of the most iconic images ever created by the photographer. Taken together, the entries form a holistic examination that, while drawing attention to the contributions of each individual, adroitly guides the reader through the major innovations, movements and developments in the history of photography with authority, dexterity and zeal. Compact and portable, Lives of the Great Photographers is one of those rare examples of a beau livre that is also a thoroughly engaging read.

Lois Greenfield: Moving Still William A. Ewing

The first new monograph in 17 years from the world’s most accomplished and respected photographer of human motion.

William A. Ewing has been an author, lecturer, curator of photography and museum director for more than forty years. He previously collaborated with Lois Greenﬁeld on Breaking Bounds and Airborne, also published by Thames & Hudson. 158 photographs 30.5 x 25.5cm 224pp ISBN 978 0 500 518038 October £39.95

Lois Greenfield’s unique approach to photographing the human form in motion has redefined the genre of dance photography and transcended its limitations. Rather than shooting literal moments from a dance, Greenfield captures splitsecond movements created specifically for her camera. Her astonishing images of dancers in mid-flight appear to defy all laws of physics, with her performers seeming to levitate and assume incredible sculptural forms. Moving Still charts Greenfield’s shift to colour photography and from shooting with a film camera to a digital camera. It also illustrates the evolution of her individual style pioneered in her previous books, Breaking Bounds and Airborne. The book showcases more than 150 breathtaking new images featuring leading contemporary dancers and well-known dance companies. Divided into four picture sections, the free-flowing, rhythmic design of the book reflects the dynamism and grace of Greenfield’s photographs. William A. Ewing contributes an interview with the photographer about her work, as well as an introduction. Greenfield herself, through commentaries on the photographs, offers fascinating insights into her creative process behind the camera and the challenges she faces in shooting these images. The result is an absorbing journey through Greenfield’s work that celebrates not only contemporary dance, but also the transformative power of photography.

Harry Gruyaert Foreword by François Hébel

The first retrospective of Harry Gruyaert’s work.

François Hébel is the curator of the recent Harry Gruyaert show at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie. He has been producer, curator and author of numerous exhibitions and books. 87 illustrations 27.0 x 29.0cm 144pp ISBN 978 0 500 544488 July £40.00

Born in Antwerp in 1941 and a member of Magnum Photos since 1982, Harry Gruyaert revolutionized creative and experimental uses of colour in the 1970s and 1980s. Influenced by cinema and American photographers, his work defined new territory for colour photography: an emotive, non-narrative and boldly graphic way of perceiving the world. In 1972, while living London, Gruyaert created the striking series TV Shots by turning the dial on a television set at random and photographing the distorted images he saw there. A later series, Made in Belgium, portrays his ambivalent relationship with his homeland in a palette of saturated tones. In his most recent work, he embraces the possibilities of digital photography, taking further creative risks to capture light in new ways. Gruyaert’s images are autonomous, often independent of any context or thematic logics. This volume, the first retrospective of his work, is a superb overview of his personal quest for freedom of expression and the liberation of the senses.

Louis Stettner’s poetic photographs of the now-gone Penn Station, published in book form for the first time. ‘But finally, all of these echoes, however truly they ring in these pictures – echoes of a lost time, echoes of changing classes, the reverberation of the loss of great public architecture – can’t conceal the truest bell that sounds when we look at these photographs, and that is the bell of the one right person caught in the single telling moment’ Adam Gopnik

Louis Stettner: Penn Station, New York Louis Stettner 46

Louis Stettner (b. 1922) is one of the last living members of the avantgarde New York School of Photography. Adam Gopnik has been a staff writer on The New Yorker since 1986. He has published many books, including Paris to the Moon.

Introduction by Adam Gopnik

Essay by Raphaël Picon

Louis Stettner took a photograph in Penn Station in 1957 of a girl in a party dress stepping from one circular patch of sunlight to another across the vast floor of the station, moving away from the photographer toward the farther reaches of the station interior. The image inspired the photographer to return a year later and create the series of Penn Station photographs. For Stettner, the station ‘was a spacious and dramatic arena where people in the act of travelling went through a mixture of excitement, a silent patience for waiting, and an honest fatigue’. The Penn Station series is a richly evocative and poetic statement about a lost time and place in New York of the 1950s. Though the station makes itself felt by its shadowy spaces and glowing surfaces, the work is not a portrait of the building, but rather a study of the people within it, at once in transit and in suspension. Deemed unpublishable at the time he took the series – Life magazine rejected the photographs for not being newsworthy or unusual enough – the Penn Station series has since come to be recognized as a profound and compelling work of art which is published here in volume form for the first time.

The Memory of Time Contemporary Photographs at the National Gallery of Art Sarah Greenough and Andrea Nelson

Explores the work of contemporary artist photographers who investigate the complex relationship of photography to time, memory and history.

In the decades since 1990 the concepts of time and memory have made a strong return in the work of many photographers who seek not simply to reflect the world but to illuminate how photography constructs our understanding of it. The Memory of Time explores the work of 26 contemporary artists from across the world – Sophie Calle, Moyra Davey, Idris Khan, Sally Mann, Susan Meiselas, Mikhael Subotzky and Patrick Waterhouse, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Carrie Mae Weems among them – who investigate the richness and complexity of photography’s relationship to time, memory and history. Unlike many media, photography possesses the remarkable ability to represent the past in the present, often cited as one of its essential characteristics. Yet its relationship to the past is by no means straightforward. Many photographs seem to depict a single moment in time, when in reality each image contains multiple layers: the instant of exposure, the moment of viewing and the lapse in between. From a shared fascination with photography’s past, including early techniques, to an engagement with the literal passage of time and the fleeting evidence of cultural change, these 76 works examine how photographs not only evoke our time and place but also create powerful visual histories of our relationship with the land, ourselves, and each other.

Sarah Greenough is senior curator and head of the department of photographs and Andrea Nelson is assistant curator in the department of photographs at the National Gallery of Art. 130 illustrations 27.3 x 24.4cm 176pp ISBN 978 0 500 544495 July £35.00

The World of Charles and Ray Eames Edited by Catherine Ince

A wide-ranging survey of the work and legacy of the pioneering design duo, published to coincide with a major exhibition at the Barbican Gallery in London.

Charles (1907–1978) and Ray (1912–1988) Eames are among the most important designers of the 20th century, and the story of the Eames Office embodies the development of visual and material culture of the post-war, modern period. The World of Charles and Ray Eames charts the history of their inspiring and prolific world and brings together key works and ideas explored at the Eames Office throughout its extraordinary history. Published to accompany a major international exhibition, this definitive monograph explores the era-defining work of the Eames Office, an active ‘laboratory’ for over four decades, where the Eameses and their collaborators produced a vast array of pioneering and influential projects – from architecture, furniture and product design to film, photography, multi-media installation and exhibitions, as well as new models for arts education. Drawing on new sources and unpublished material, and with newly commissioned texts by leading design experts, The World of Charles and Ray Eames brings together contemporaneous reviews and magazine articles, writings by Charles and Ray Eames themselves, personal correspondence and a thorough reference section to offer the most comprehensive overview of the designers in many years.

Walking on Art Explorations in Carpet Design Deirde Dyson

A jargon-free introduction to the techniques of contemporary carpet design and creation.

Lady Dyson met her husband James when both were students at the Byam Shaw School of Art. She has a store on the King’s Road in London, and in 2013 was the winner of ‘Best Studio Artist Design’ at the DOMOTEX Carpet Design Awards. Professor Sir Christopher Frayling is Professor Emeritus of Cultural History at the Royal College of Art. 167 illustrations 33.5 x 25.0cm 192pp ISBN 978 0 500 518052 July £38.00

It is comparatively rare for a practitioner to present their thought processes, inspirations and techniques in their own style in a straightforward, no-nonsense, jargon-free way. Deirdre Dyson’s book is a welcome exception. This book describes her journey from figurative painting into carpet design and carefully explains the thoughts, questions and challenges that occurred along the way, and the techniques required to support them. A foreword by Professor Sir Christopher Frayling contextualizes Dyson’s award-winning work within discussions about art and design, and then Dyson herself reflects on her long experience of designing exquisite luxury carpets. The chapter ‘Techniques’ introduces the traditional methods she uses to create these carpets, and how these conventions can be manipulated to create stunning effects. ‘Process’ then explores the steps – from inspiration to making, that lie behind any design. These chapters are followed by Dyson’s collections. Illustrated in full, they demonstrate her love of colour and her range of inspirations, from butterflies to sea shells. Dyson’s carpets are at their best works of art and works of design. They are also examples of superb craftsmanship. And, as this book reveals, they are extremely pleasurable as well, on many different levels.

Classic Contemporary The DNA of Furniture Design Tim Gosling

Classic contemporary design by one of the UK’s leading interior designers, set within the context of historical styles from the 18th century to the 21st.

Foreword by Michael Palin

Tim Gosling has an international reputation for designing exquisite interiors and beautifully crafted furniture for a range of public and private clients. Whether it is a Georgian town house or a Victorian mansion, a Venetian penthouse or a Florida residence, Gosling’s response to the architecture as well as to the needs of those who commission him results in a look that is both classic and contemporary. Every element is produced using the finest materials and to the most exacting standards by highly skilled British craftsmen. In Classic Contemporary, Gosling discusses the historical sources, from the 18th century to the 20th, as well as the work of his contemporaries that have influenced him and his work. By analysing in DNA-type depth what made historic styles so successful, so long lasting and often so beautiful, he is able to show how they can be adapted for contemporary tastes. Through these pages, Regency, Victorian, Art Deco or Modernism can be viewed in a new light, resulting in a book that provides a unique insight into the work of one of today’s most popular and respected designers.

Tim Gosling is a British furniture designer and interior designer. He carries out private commissions worldwide as well as commercial projects, such as the interior of The Goring, one of London’s most prestigious hotels. 235 illustrations 30.0 x 25.7cm 240pp ISBN 978 0 500 517833 October £45.00

How to Thrive in the Next Economy Designing Tomorrow’s World Today John Thackara 56 John Thackara is a writer and event producer who has spent a lifetime searching for live examples of what a sustainable future can be like. He writes about these stories at his blog, Doors of Perception, and organizes festivals that bring the project leaders he has met together.

Is there no escape from an economy that devours nature in the name of endless growth? John Thackara’s answer is a rousing ‘yes, there is!’ Drawing on a lifetime of travel in search of real-world alternatives that work, he describes in this book how communities the world over are creating a replacement economy from the ground up. Each chapter is devoted to the creative ways people in diverse contexts tackle timeless needs: restoring the land, sharing water, making homes, journeying, growing food, designing clothes, caring for each other. From Bali to Brazil, as well as Delhi, London, and California, Thackara writes of soil restorers and river keepers, seed savers and de-pavers, cloud commuters and e-bike couriers, care farmers, food system curators, fibreshed stewards, money designers and more. Read together, these encounters add up to a joyful new story about what an economy is actually for. In place of an obsession with stuff, money and endless growth, this book describes social practices that cherish all-of-life, not just human life. Marvelling at the power of small actions to transform the bigger picture, Thackara believes that a great transition is under way. It’s the end of one civilization – but the birth of another.

Why You Can Build It Like That Modern Architecture Explained John Zukowsky

An engaging and very accessible re-examination of iconic and iconoclastic modern architecture.

In Why You Can Build It Like That, John Zukowsky examines buildings from the past seven decades or so that pushed the boundaries of what was architecturally acceptable when they were built. 100 striking international examples of modern architecture are categorized into thematic chapters that reflect form as well as society. Zukowsky explores the history of these buildings and their makers, presenting relevant biographical factors and socio-cultural influences that impacted on the distinctive designs. The book includes the works of heroic early modernist architects such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright, alongside long-established architectural firms such as Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. It also features mavericks of the past and present – Bruce Goff, Shin Takamatsu and Shigeru Ban – and singular architectural wonders that reflect their own times. Readers will find out why all the featured buildings look the way they do, and why they were created when and where they were. Zukowsky’s original text unravels the rich and complex stories that exist behind the design of some of the world’s more unconventional monuments, revealing exactly why each building is one of a kind.

John Zukowsky was curator of architecture at the Art Institute of Chicago from 1978 to 2004, and has since held several executive positions at institutions in Chicago, New York and Ohio. 100 illustrations 19.7 x 14.0cm 224pp Flexibound ISBN 978 0 500 291788 September £9.99

New Swiss Architecture Introduction by Hubertus Adam Project texts by Maya Birke von Graevenitz Edited by Nathalie Herschdorfer

A major survey of contemporary Swiss architecture, showcasing the nation’s advanced engineering, superlative craftsmanship and stunning natural scenery.

Hubertus Adam is Director of the Swiss Architecture Museum in Basel. Nathalie Herschdorfer is Director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Le Locle, Switzerland. Maya Birke von Graevenitz is an architecture writer based in Zurich. c. 400 illustrations 28.0 x 26.0cm 304pp ISBN 978 0 500 343036 October £35.00

Established on the global stage by the international success and influence of architects such as Peter Zumthor and Herzog & de Meuron, today’s generation of architects in Switzerland draws on the country’s distinctive landscape of alpine peaks, crystalline lakes and efficient cities, and fuses traditional Swiss materials with new high-tech tools and innovative construction methods. New Swiss Architecture documents fifty of the most important buildings of the last decade through architectural photographs that highlight their exceptional detail, attention to context and material experimentation. Because of their isolated locations, many of these buildings are little known, despite having been designed by leading architects, including Christ & Gantenbein, Gigon/Guyer, Valerio Olgiati, Charles Pictet, Richter Dahl Rocha and Diener & Diener. The book is presented in two sections: the first comprises a photographic portfolio of projects organized into themes: Alpine, Infrastructural, Recreational, Rural, Suburban, Urban. The second section describes each of the featured buildings through drawings, plans and concise texts. Produced for design aficionados, this lavish publication will attract architecture practitioners and students seeking inspiration from work produced at the most sophisticated level.

SuperLux Smart Light Art, Design & Architecture for Cities and Buildings Davina Jackson

A timely survey of the ‘smart-light’ movement animating and enriching our urban spaces and nighttime environments around the world.

SuperLux is an international celebration of the ingenuity and artistry of the latest lighting technology and the ‘Smart Light’ movement. ‘Smart Light’ is an increasingly common term for the new technologies and ecological ideas that are being creatively applied by designers to transform atmospheres and social activities in urban environments at night. There is even a new genre of public Smart Light festivals – family-friendly, ethical, energy-audited celebrations. More than fifty public artworks, design installations and architectural-scale projects are presented in three main sections: animating buildings and architecture through illumination, media screens and projections; bringing light to former industrial zones and new public areas, including wayfinding and streets; interactive installations in urban spaces and public interiors. The sections are punctuated by essays by leading experts and designers in the field, including Peter Weibel, CEO of the ZKM Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe and Peter Droege, General Chairman of the World Council for Renewable Energy. As our buildings, public spaces and even homes become more interactive, smart-light design will become more relevant in our lives. This timely publication is an important step to ensure that practitioners of all design persuasions can see the light.

Landscape and Garden Design Sketchbooks Tim Richardson

A revealing glimpse into the private sketchbooks of the world’s leading landscape and garden designers.

Garden and landscape designers are adept at interpreting outdoor spaces and transforming them into creatively conceived environments. Their ideas rarely come spontaneously: rather, the thoughtful designer considers a space from different perspectives or for several seasons, working out spacing, planting, materials and colour schemes in detailed preparatory sketchbooks. For this publication, Tim Richardson, Director of the acclaimed Chelsea Fringe gardening festival in London, has selected thirty-seven talented landscape designers who are notable for the immense energy and creativity of their preparatory work. The best samples from the personal sketchbooks are presented alphabetically, along with concise profiles on their training, inspirations and process. From clear perspective drawings to more abstract, experimental compositions, and quick freehand squiggles on napkins to measured topographical mapping, many of which are works of art in their own right, Landscape and Garden Design Sketchbooks is an insightful, practical guide that allows a peek into the world of leading landscape designers.

Tim Richardson is the former landscape editor at Wallpaper*, gardens editor at Country Life and founding editor of New Eden. He is the author of numerous books on landscape design, including Futurescapes, Avant Gardeners and The Vanguard Landscapes and Gardens of Martha Schwartz, all published by Thames & Hudson. 688 illustrations 22.0 x 29.7cm 320pp ISBN 978 0 500 518045 October £29.95

Waterside Modern Dominic Bradbury Photographs by Richard Powers

An escapist visual sourcebook of modern interiors in waterside settings, from the creative duo behind Mediterranean Modern and Mountain Modern.

Waterside settings around the world, from the Mediterranean to the Pacific Ocean, the wide beaches of the Caribbean to the tropical idylls of Southeast Asia, provide glorious views and unforgettable experiences of nature. Capturing and distilling this essence in the contemporary home can produce the finest and most desirable forms of residential architecture. Waterside Modern explores homes that are original, stylish, full of character and respectful of the landscapes in which they are placed. Maximizing the link between inside and outside living, emphasizing local materials and environment, playing with the light effects that water produces, each house presented here has a unique relationship to its surroundings. Loosely grouped into three sections – beach houses, ocean belvederes and waterfront villas – the houses, created by leading international architects and designers, offer dazzling inspiration, wherever you are.

Arts of the Hellenized East From the Age of Alexander the Great to the Sasanian Era Martha L. Carter Contributions by Prudence O. Harper and Pieter Meyers

An informative and beautifully produced guide to one of the world’s most spectacular collections of Hellenistic and Islamic silverwork.

64 Martha L. Carter has taught and curated at institutions including the Cleveland Museum of Art and the University of Wisconsin. Prudence O. Harper is Curator Emerita in the Department of Ancient Near Eastern Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Pieter Meyers is an independent scholar and Senior Research Chemist at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. c. 350 illustrations 27.6 x 21.9cm 424pp ISBN 978 0 500 970690 October £45.00

The al-Sabah Collection, Kuwait, houses one of the world’s most spectacular collections of ancient silver vessels and other objects made of precious metals. Dating from the centuries following Alexander the Great’s conquest of Iran and Bactria in the middle of the 4th century bce up to the advent of the Islamic era, the beautiful bowls, drinking vessels, platters and other objects in this catalogue suggest that some of the best Hellenistic silverwork was not made in the Greek heartlands, but in this eastern outpost of the Seleucid empire. Martha L. Carter connects these far-flung regions from northern Greece to the Hindu Kush, tracing the common cultural threads that link their diverse geography and people. The last part of the catalogue, by Prudence O. Harper, deals with an important group of Sasanian silver vessels and gems, and some other rarities produced in the succeeding centuries for Hunnish and Turkic patrons. The catalogue is accompanied by an essay on the technology of ancient silver production by Pieter Meyers, who has performed a number of scientific tests on the objects, including a new metallurgical analysis that may help to identify their geographical origins.

ARCHITECTURE

Sinan Architect of Süleyman the Magnificent and the Ottoman Golden Age John Freely and Augusto Romano Burelli • Photographs by Ara Güler

A magnificent survey of Sinan’s buildings, including the greatest of Turkish mosques, the Süleymaniye and the Selimiye, complemented by authoritative texts.

Sinan was the greatest architect of the Ottoman Golden Age in the 16th century. While Michelangelo was working on St. Peter’s, Sinan completed the greatest of Turkish mosques, the Süleymaniye and the Selimiye. His style marks the apogee of Turkish art. Sinan designed hundreds of buildings: mosques, palaces, tombs, mausolea, hospitals, schools, caravanserai, bridges, aqueducts and baths. As he himself said, ‘with time each edifice became – with the help of Allah and thanks to the generosity and benevolence of the State – the very image of the world in the lands ruled by the Ottoman dynasty.’ In his greatest works he adapted Byzantine and Islamic styles to produce something quite new: a centralized organization of absolute space unhindered by pillars or columns and covered by a soaring dome. An architect of genius in a dynamic new empire expanding into both Asia and Europe, he was a true man of the Renaissance. Opulent colour photographs, many taken specially by Ara Güler for this publication, pay tribute to the extraordinary space and light of Sinan’s buildings. Texts by the most important specialists in this field complement the handsome visual material and offer new interpretations of Sinan’s art. The result is a magnificent testament to the achievement of a man who stamped his imprint on an entire culture.

John Freely has taught physics and the history of science at Bogazici University (formerly Robert College) in Istanbul since 1960. Augusto Romano Burelli was the Director of the Department of Architectural Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice from 1991 to 1997. Ara Güler is one of Turkey’s – indeed the world’s – greatest photographers. 100 colour illustrations 32.6 x 24.0cm 144pp ISBN 978 0 500 343111 August £28.00

An Anthology of Decorated Papers A Sourcebook for Designers P.J.M. Marks

An exquisite selection of decorated papers dating from the 16th to the 20th century. Published in association with The British Library.

P.J.M. Marks is curator of bookbindings at the British Library. Her previous books include The British Library Guide to Bookbinding, Treasures in Focus: Decorated Papers and Beautiful Bookbindings. c. 450 illustrations 29.6 x 23.6cm 256pp ISBN 978 0 500 518120 October £38.00

Rich in ornamentation, decorated papers have been in use for centuries – as wrappers and endpapers for books, as the backing for playing cards, and even as linings for chests and cases. Yet despite the many contexts in which they can be found, they often go unnoticed. This remarkable new book not only showcases several hundred of the best and most exquisite examples of decorated paper, but also provides a fascinating introduction to their history, traditions and techniques. They may all have had different uses, but what unites all the papers in the book is the richness of their ornamentation and the thin, flexible characteristics of the original sheets. They are all further united by having been collected by Olga Hirsch (1889–1968), a trained bookbinder who left her collection of some 3,500 papers to the British Library, where they remain one of the largest and most diverse collections of decorated papers in the world. The collection has never previously been extensively published. This new, beautifully designed album of the best and most exquisite papers in the collection will be a revelation and an inspiration to designers, bibliophiles and anyone with a love of pattern and ornamentation.

The Khalili Collection of kimono comprises over 200 garments and spans 300 years of Japanese textile artistry. Its extraordinary range includes formal, semi-formal and informal kimono, undergarments and jackets, worn by women, men and children. Represented are the sophisticated garments of the imperial court, samurai aristocracy and affluent merchant classes of the Edo period (1603–1868), the shifting styles and new colour palette of Meiji-period dress (1868–1912) and particularly the bold and dazzling kimono of the Taisho (1912–26) and early Sho-wa (1926–89) eras, which utilized innovative techniques and drew fresh inspiration from both past traditions and the modern world. Here, an international team of authors – including the former curator of textiles, Tokyo National Museum – examine the art and evolution of the kimono in the historical context of the 17th to the 20th centuries, under the editorship of Anna Jackson, Keeper of the Asian Department at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

Christian Dior achieved immortality with his first collection in 1947. His ‘New Look’ amazed the world as it emerged after wartime austerity, and reset the boundaries of modern elegance.

The resonance between classic archive photographs and the latest most up-to-date frames is fresh and compelling.

Fashion and the Art of Pochoir The Golden Age of Illustration in Paris April Calahan and Cassidy Zachary

A celebration of the hand-stencilling technique pochoir, used to create some of the most rarely seen and luxurious fashion illustrations of the early 20th century.

The 1910s and 1920s witnessed an outpouring of luxury publications that used a hand-stencilling technique known as pochoir (French for ‘stencil’). The highly refined and painterly technique, which consists of applying layers of gouache paint or watercolour to achieve bold blocks of saturated colour, produced works of visual artistry formerly unrivalled in the history of illustration, and it became the medium of choice for avant-garde couturiers seeking to stand apart and cultivate an elite readership. Organized chronologically by publication and showcasing a carefully curated selection of the most exceptional illustrations from couture albums and highend magazines, Fashion and the Art of Pochoir is the definitive tribute to the artists and couturiers who first united to redefine luxury, inaugurating the enduring alliance between fashion and art, from Schiaparelli and Dalì to Vuitton and Murakami today. Closing with biographical notices of illustrators and fashion designers, it offers a unique chance for illustrators, artists, designers and fashion enthusiasts to discover the rarely seen images that defined a brief but magnificent golden age.

April Calahan is Special Collections Associate at the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York, where she serves as the curator of rare books and periodicals.

The Parisian Gentleman Hugo Jacomet

A luxurious celebration of the craftsmanship behind the timeless French brands whose rich heritage is the cornerstone of men’s style.

Photographs by Andy Julia

Paris and style are synonymous. Home of haute couture and the world’s leading fashion houses, the city and its inhabitants exude flair all year around. While high fashion most often captures the limelight, Paris’s debonair men bespeak decades of sartorial tradition and refinement. The Parisian Gentleman presents twenty of the leading men’s style-makers, from hidden ateliers and little-known studios to internationally renowned names such as shirt-makers Charvet, shoe-makers Berluti and recently revived trunk-makers Moynat. The histories of each house, and the creatives and craftsmen behind them, bring alive the clothes, capture fading traditions, and celebrate an unceasing dedication to quality. Author Hugo Jacomet, founder of the cult ‘Parisian Gentleman’ website, personally knows many of the leaders of these sought-after marques, so the portrait he paints of each maker derives from first-hand knowledge. Impeccable photography, much of which was shot exclusively for this publication, provides an exquisite complement to each story. A luxurious celebration of the craftsmanship and elegance behind the timeless French sartorial artisans, from tailoring, shirt-making and shoe-making to perfumery, jewelry, luggage and accessories, The Parisian Gentleman is an essential addition to the well-dressed man’s private wardrobe.

Hugo Jacomet is a pioneer of the menswear revival that celebrates well-crafted clothing and elegant gentlemen. His digital magazine, Parisian Gentleman, is a worldwide reference for sartorial updates. Andy Julia is a freelance photographer. c. 350 illustrations 34.5 x 27.5cm 256pp ISBN 978 0 500 518014 October £45.00

Patricia Corbett, former European editor of Connoisseur, is the author of Verdura, also published by Thames & Hudson. 250 illustrations 28.0 x 26.0cm 240pp ISBN 978 0 500 517901 October £50.00

In 1919 Suzanne Belperron began her lifelong journey designing jewelry so unique she rarely signed her name to it; her colourful compositions of gems and pure, sensual, organic forms became her unmistakable trademark, recognizable at a glance. Illustrated here is a splendid array of Belperron’s work, from the earliest sketches made while she was a student and designs made for René Boivin in the 1920s and 1930s to the original designs she created for Hollywood clientele such as Clark Gable, Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra and Lauren Bacall as well as fashion icons and the cream of British aristocracy. Numerous hand-coloured drawings and original designs, selected from the largest archive of her work (nearly all unpublished), are matched with an impressive range of finished pieces. Based on years of research through private records from the Belperron family and those of the expert craftsmen with whom she collaborated, here are some of the rarest, most delicate and most refined examples of her work, combined with the best of over 4,000 sketches from the Belperron Archive. This is the complete and indispensable guide to the jewelry marque that defined modern French chic.

When Life Nearly Died The Greatest Mass Extinction of All Time Michael J. Benton

Popular science writing at its best – a dramatic story and a compelling pageturner that effortlessly communicates a wealth of information. ‘A superb book that tells a gripping tale … a dénouement worthy of Hercule Poirot’ The Times Higher Education Supplement

‘Brings to Earth Science a sense of adventure. A wonderfully good read’ James Lovelock

Michael J. Benton is Professor of Vertebrate Palaentology and Head of Department of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol. Among his other books are Vertebrate Paleaontology, Basic Palaeontology and The Age of Dinosaurs in Russia and Mongolia. 46 illustrations 19.8 x 13.0cm 336pp paperback ISBN 978 0 500 291931 September £14.95

Some 250 million years ago, 90 per cent of life on earth was wiped out. It was the greatest mass extinction ever. What caused this catastrophe? In this revised and expanded edition of a classic account, Michael J. Benton assesses the competing claims for a meteorite impact or a volcanic eruption in Siberia and brings the story thoroughly up to date. Hundreds of geologists and palaeontologists have been investigating all aspects of this astonishing event, conducting fieldwork around the world, especially in South China and Russia. New details allow us to demonstrate the close tie between the acid rain crisis on land and the anoxia in the oceans. Importantly, our view of the timing of the crisis has advanced enormously, with not only far greater precision in dating, but also the demonstration that there were two peaks of extinction, and then repeated crises for five million years afterwards. A great deal of new research has focused also on the slow recovery of life to a more normal state. New sections explore how the great Mesozoic sea dragons became established at the tops of the marine food pyramids, and how, unexpectedly, the crisis set in motion one of the greatest events in palaeontological history: the origin of the dinosaurs.

Human includes excerpts from these interviews, alongside essays by eminent journalists and human rights activists, including Desmond Tutu, Malala Yousafzai and Ron Suskind. With its collection of inspiring, spectacular images, allied to the unforgettable testimonies of mankind, Human is a landmark achievement and a compelling portrait of humanity at the beginning of the 21st century.

The book covers the giant sea-spiders that prowled the shallow seas until 250 million years ago; the sharks that have changed little over 400 million years; the giant carnivorous dinosaurs that roamed North America in the Cretaceous Period; the perching birds, ancestors of modern-day garden birds; the evolutionary story of the horse, and more. Accompanying the essays are amazing photographic features that investigate the characteristics of individual organisms in detail. Our understanding of evolution has a profound effect on our underlying comprehension of nature – from our own human heritage to the way we believe climate change will affect tomorrow’s world. Evolutionary theorists, intrepid fossil-hunters, paleontologists, paleoecologists, molecular biologists, geneticists, climatologists – and the occasional lucky amateur – have all contributed to unravelling this most complex and challenging subject. Evolution: The Whole Story contains everything we need to know about the development and survival of life on Earth.

Bog Bodies Uncovered Solving Europe’s Ancient Mystery Miranda Aldhouse-Green Foreword by Val McDermid

Miranda Aldhouse-Green uncovers the hidden truths behind bog bodies and delivers an immensely compelling, true-crime-style study. ‘Fascinating … Miranda Aldhouse-Green whets our appetite with the big picture of where, when and how these bodies began to turn up, and delves under the shroud of mystery that surrounds them’ Val McDermid

Miranda Aldhouse-Green is Emeritus Professor of Archaeology at Cardiff University. She is the author of The Celtic Myths, Dictionary of Celtic Myth and Legend, Exploring the World of the Druids and, with Stephen AldhouseGreen, The Quest for the Shaman, all published by Thames & Hudson. 78 illustrations 23.4 x 15.6cm 224pp ISBN 978 0 500 051825 September £18.95

Over the past two centuries, peat cutters in the bogs of northern Europe have periodically unearthed the remains of prehistoric men, women and children so well preserved that they are often mistaken for victims of modern crime. In many cases their skin, hair, nails, and marks of injury survive, betraying the violence that surrounded their deaths. Who were these unfortunate people, and why were they killed? Archaeologists, armed with the latest analytical techniques, are today investigating these cold cases to reveal much about our distant past. Forensic science allows us to deduce the age, physical condition, status, cause and time of death of these ancient victims, helping to answer the fundamental questions that they pose: were these people executed, simply murdered, or victims of human sacrifice? Who selected them? Who delivered the killing blow, and why? It is time for a new book about bog bodies. The number of known bodies is growing. Lindow Man, the famous ‘Pete Marsh’ discovered in Cheshire in the 1980s, has been joined by new finds from Ireland and elsewhere. Drawing on all the latest evidence and research, Miranda Aldhouse-Green has written an engrossing detective story, uncovering the hidden truths behind these murder mysteries. In the pages of this book we come face-to-face with our ancestors and can begin to understand their ancient lives – and deaths.

Three highly acclaimed archaeology titles, now available in a mass-market paperback format.

Ancestral Journeys The Peopling of Europe from the First Venturers to the Vikings Jean Manco ‘Ambitious and lucid … a base line for future debates’ J. P. Mallory, author of In Search of the Indo-Europeans

Now brought completely up to date with all the latest findings from the fast-moving fields of genetics, DNA and dating, Jean Manco’s highly readable account skilfully weaves multiple strands of evidence to produce a startling new history of Europe and its people.

The Neanderthals Rediscovered How Modern Science is Rewriting their Story Dimitra Papagianni and Michael A. Morse ‘The first complete chronological narrative of the species from emergence to extinction…. a gem’ Nature

In a compelling narrative, this book takes a fresh and engaging look at the whole story of the Neanderthals, setting out all the evidence, redressing the balance and arriving at a fairer assessment of a species that was closely related to us – and in so doing addresses what it is to be human.

Jean Manco is a building historian with an inter-disciplinary approach, having been trained within an archaeological unit. She is also the author of Blood of the Celts (see p.88). 116 illustrations 19.8 x 13.0cm 312pp Paperback ISBN 978 0 500 292075 August £9.99

Dimitra Papagianni is the author of Middle Paleolithic Occupation and Technology in Northwestern Greece. Michael A. Morse’s book How the Celts Came to Britain was selected as one of TLS’s Books of the Year for 2005. 70 illustrations 19.8 x 13.0cm 208pp Paperback ISBN 978 0 500 292044 August £9.99

Digging for Richard III How Archaeology Found the King Mike Pitts ‘An entertaining, knowledgable and forensic examination of one of the most extraordinary archaeological digs ever!’ Sir Tony Robinson

In the hands of a leading archaeologist and awardwinning journalist, the search for a king’s grave becomes the page-turning, entertaining, informed narrative and the must-read title on the most sensational archaeological find for generations.

Mike Pitts is the editor of British Archaeology magazine, and the author of peer-reviewed research on subjects that range from Easter Island to Stonehenge. 41 illustrations 19.8 x 13.0cm 208pp Paperback ISBN 978 0 500 292020 August £9.99

The Making of the Middle Sea A History of the Mediterranean from the Beginning to the Emergence of the Classical World Cyprian Broodbank ‘An almighty achievement … wonderfully elegant prose … fascinating, intelligent and well-written but also provocative and challenging’ The Guardian

New in paperback, the joint winner of the Wolfson History Prize 2014. ‘A major intellectual feat … sets new standards in scholarship, coherence and readability’ Colin Renfrew, The Times Literary Supplement

Cyprian Broodbank is John Disney Professor of Archaeology at the University of Cambridge. His previous book, An Island Archaeology of the Early Cyclades, won the James R. Wiseman award of the Archaeological Institute of America (for all ﬁelds of archaeology), and the Runciman Prize (for all ﬁelds of Hellenic Studies). 387 illustrations 24.6 x 18.6cm 672pp Paperback ISBN 978 0 500 292082 August £24.95

The Mediterranean has been for millennia one of the global cockpits of human endeavour. World-class interpretations exist of its Classical and subsequent history, but there has been remarkably little holistic exploration of how its societies, culture and economies first came into being, despite the fact that almost all the fundamental developments originated well before 500 BC. This award-winning book is the first full, interpretive synthesis for a generation on the rise of the Mediterranean world from its beginning, before the emergence of our own species, up to the threshold of Classical times. Extensively illustrated and ranging across disciplines, subject matter and chronology from early humans and the origins of farming and metallurgy to the rise of civilizations – Egyptian, Levantine, Hispanic, Minoan, Mycenaean, Phoenician, Etruscan, early Greek – the book is a masterpiece of archaeological and historical writing.

Blood of the Celts The New Ancestral Story Jean Manco

A vivid and compelling voyage of discovery from the deepest origins of the ancient Celts to the modern Celtic Revival. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Jean Manco is a phenomenon. In Blood of the Celts she sieves the swirling murk of academic specialisms (linguistics, literature, genetics and archaeology) to extract the gold. Once again she proves to be an excellent interpreter of interesting timesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; David Miles, Former Chief Archaeologist, English Heritage

New discoveries in genetics have overturned the dogma of decades about the Celts. Debate continues about who the Celts exactly were, where ultimately they came from, and whether the modern Celtic-speakers of the British Isles and Brittany are related to the Continental Celts we know from ancient history. So a fresh approach is needed. Blood of the Celts meets this challenge, pulling together evidence from genetics, archaeology, history and linguistics in an accessible and illuminating way. Jean Manco has written a vivid and compelling account that takes the reader on a voyage of discovery from the origins of the ancient Celts to the modern Celtic Revival. What emerges may seem startling. Earlier attempts to trace historical and prehistorical movements using only modern DNA from living people have been proved dramatically wrong by findings from ancient DNA. Lovers of war, wine and song, the historical Celts strike us as a people with a great gusto for life. Yet they did not fear death, for they believed in an afterlife. Fate has granted them more kinds of immortality than they had in mind. As long as any Celtic language is still spoken, the linguistic chain from the ancient Celts remains unbroken. As long as the earliest Celts have living heirs, there is also an unbroken chain of DNA. Blood of the Celts will be essential reading for anyone interested in their Celtic ancestry and also for everyone fascinated by the Celts and their world.

Jean Manco is a building historian with an inter-disciplinary approach, having been trained within an archaeological unit. She is the author of Ancestral Journeys (see p.83). 97 illustrations 23.4 x 15.6cm 240pp ISBN 978 0 500 051832 September Price ÂŁ18.95

HISTORY

Samuel Pepys Plague, Fire, Revolution Edited by Margarette Lincoln

A compelling illustrated book on the passionate diarist, published to accompany a major exhibition at the National Maritime Museum marking the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London.

Margarette Lincoln was Deputy Director at Royal Museums Greenwich from 2007 to 2015. She is also the author of British Pirates and Society, 1680–1730, Naval Wives and Mistresses and Representing the Royal Navy: British Sea Power, 1750–1815. c. 250 illustrations 21.0 x 15.0cm 288pp ISBN 978 0 500 518144 October £29.95

Introduction by Claire Tomalin

Samuel Pepys (1633–1703) lived through one of the most exciting and troubled times in British history. He saw the people rise up in the name of liberty and execute their king. During the plague of 1665 he endured months of terror when friends and neighbours fell prey to an epidemic disease for which there was no cure, and the following year he witnessed the Great Fire of London. Towards the end of his life Pepys – and the country – suffered further upheaval when his patron, the Catholic James II, was ousted by the Protestant William III and Queen Mary in the ‘Glorious Revolution’ of 1688. This book, published to coincide with a major exhibition at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, explores the public and personal worlds of Pepys, not only a famous diarist whose description of the Fire of London is unequalled, but also an energetic and talented man who rose from modest beginnings to become the greatest naval administrator of the age. With an introduction by Claire Tomalin, Pepys’s award-winning biographer, engaging essays on a range of key topics, and illustrated throughout with a rich variety of paintings, engravings and objects, Samuel Pepys: Plague, Fire, Revolution provides a fascinating portrait of the later Stuart Age through the life of someone uniquely placed to experience its triumphs and disasters.

The London County Council Bomb Damage Maps, 1939 – 1945 Laurence Ward

The complete World War II bomb damage maps of Greater London, now available to the general public for the first time.

The aerial bombardment of London during the Second World War is one of the most significant events in the city’s modern history. Between 1939 and 1945, London and its environs experienced destruction on a huge and deadly scale, with air raids and rocket attacks reducing entire buildings and streets to rubble. The London County Council Bomb Damage Maps, meticulously hand-coloured to document the level of damage being wrought on London’s built environment, represent a key record of the destruction, the impact of which can still be seen in the capital’s urban and social landscapes. Featuring new, high-quality reproductions of each of the 110 maps that make up the set, this book marks the first occasion on which these truly remarkable documents – part historical artefacts, part social history – have been published for a general audience. An introduction sets the maps in the full historical context of the terrible events that gave rise to them. Also included is a series of extraordinary photographs of the damage done to the City of London in particular, taken with a sympathetic yet unflinching eye by police constables Arthur Cross and Fred Tibbs. Complete with additional archival photographs and tables of often grim statistics, this landmark publication offers an invaluable graphic representation of one of the most dramatic and affecting episodes in the history of London.

Laurence Ward is Principal Archivist at the London Metropolitan Archives. 200 illustrations 36.5 x 26.5cm 288pp ISBN 978 0 500 518250 August £48.00

Sita Ram’s Painted Views of India Lord Hastings’s Journey from Calcutta to the Punjab, 1814–15 Edited and with an introduction by J. P. Losty

Lord Hastings’s journal of his travels through pre-colonial India, beautifully illustrated with watercolours by Sita Ram.

J. P. Losty retired in 2005 after 34 years as a curator of Indian visual materials in the Asian department of the British Library. His major books include The Art of the Book in India, Calcutta City of Palaces, The Ramayana, Delhi from Red Fort to Raisina and Mughal India: Art, Culture and Empire. Over 200 illustrations 23.0 x 30.5cm 256pp ISBN 978 0 500 518274 November £35.00

Lord Hastings’s journal of his travels from Calcutta to the Punjab in 1814 records the events and views of this journey accompanied by more than 200 large watercolour illustrations by Sita Ram. This book includes an edited version of the journal charting his passage through the India of the early nineteenth century. Though Sita Ram’s picturesque paintings were a sharp departure from the accurate ‘Company’ views of Indian monuments, they nonetheless revealed his eye for architectural detail. Taking the readers along as part of Lord Hastings’s party, J. P. Losty brings alive the 17-month long expedition in a flotilla of 220 boats from Barrackpore past Patna, Benares, Allahabad and Cawnpore, and then overland to Lucknow, Delhi and the Punjab, through Sita Ram’s never-before-published paintings of Colonial India.

Panorama of the Thames A Riverside View of Georgian London John R. Inglis and Jill Sanders

A unique and charming record of London as viewed from the Thames at the end of the reign of George IV. John R. Inglis worked in the UK ﬁlm industry for forty years as an editor, cinematographer and director. Jill Sanders is a former journalist who is now involved with local groups to conserve and enhance the environment of the river Thames. Illustrated in colour throughout 24.0 x 28.5cm 256pp inc one 8pp gatefold ISBN 978 0 500 518151 October £29.95

In 1829, the London bookseller Samuel Leigh issued an unusual publication that consisted of two hand-coloured aquatint panoramas folded concertina-fashion between hard covers. It was sold as The Panorama of the Thames from London to Richmond. One panorama opened out to 60 feet, showing both banks of the Thames from Westminster to Richmond, and the other extended six feet and showed the City of London and the South Bank as viewed from the Old Adelphi buildings in the Strand. The Leigh panoramas are now rare and this book reproduces a selection of the finest and most interesting portions from both panoramas and makes them available to a wider audience for the first time. The book starts on the north bank at Twickenham, going down the river to Westminster, passing what were then just villages – Chiswick, Fulham and Chelsea, among others. Images from the six-foot Adelphi panorama continue the story round to the South Bank. Then the journey resumes back up the river along the Surrey bank past Wandsworth, Putney, Kew and elsewhere to Richmond. Each village section has an introductory history. All the waterside communities and most wharves, churches and stately homes are identified, and a gazetteer, divided by village, gives information on the most important landmarks. A special feature of the book is a fold-out reproduction of the entire View from the Adelphi panorama. With fascinating views of Georgian London, this is a history of how one of the world’s great cities has been shaped by the river that runs through it.

978 0 500 252024 £24.95

On 21 February 1968, Wally Herbert and his team of three companions and forty huskies set out from Point Barrow, Alaska, embarking on a journey that no one had ever attempted. Sixteen hard months later they finally set foot once more on solid land in Spitsbergen, having attained the North Pole and crossed the frozen Arctic Ocean for the first time. Travelling and living on ice that was in continual motion, sometimes buckling and breaking beneath them, they had endured extreme cold and months of winter darkness, and faced frequent encounters with polar bears. Though their achievement was overshadowed by the Apollo moon-landing, it stands today as one of the greatest expeditions of all time. Illustrated with unpublished photographs and other personal materials from the Herbert archive, as well as rare items from public and private collections, this exceptional photography book is a first-hand record of an astonishing journey – one that will probably never be repeated. An impressive team of experts – polar travellers, explorers and scientists – contribute their reflections on the Arctic wilderness and their appreciation of this remarkable feat of heroism, epic endeavour and scientific enterprise. Across the Arctic Ocean is a timely account of the last great frontier in a rapidly changing world, and will appeal to all those interested in exploration, polar science, the great outdoors and the spirit of adventure.

Author and illustrator Cristina Amodeo draws parallels between nearly twenty-five dogs and designer chairs in this fun and stylish book that matches iconic chairs with their corresponding breed of dog.

Who cares, when dogs and chairs make such elegant designer pairs!

COMMENTS:

CONCLUSION: (CIRCLE)

He was the coolest guy in my class. He had a shark-tooth necklace and a bowl cut. I fancied him secretly for years. One day I found HEARTBREAKER

a scribbled note in my cubby hole: ‘I Love You’. My friend Amanda was obviously jealous so she ripped up the note and told him in front of the whole class. James denied it but blushed furiously.

STILL CRUSHING

We didn’t really speak after that... but one year later he asked me to be a backing dancer for his Backstreet Boys choreography!

Beautifully designed and bursting with creativity, this book will be essential reading for swooning romantics and the angst-ridden lovelorn. 101

Crushes A Serious Study, Past and Present Louise Steyaert

Louise Steyaert has a degree in design from the University of the Arts, London, and has also studied in New York and Rio de Janeiro. Crushes is the outcome of a personal graphic project reflecting her own often tumultuous love life. Illustrated throughout 21.0 x 17.0cm 96pp paperback ISBN 978 0 500 420201 August £9.95

This book playfully adopts the methodology of social research and scientific investigation by using humorous survey forms and various rating systems to analyse past crushes and assemble the data into infographics. It starts with a crash course on the basic concepts of crushing. Louise Steyaert introduces her ‘International Scale of Crush Intensity’ (ISCI) to help readers detect whether what they’re enduring is a mere passing fancy or a mindblowing, heartwrenching, knee-trembling coup de foudre. Steyaert’s witty drawings illustrate seven predominant crush categories – the Hottie, the Player, the Traveller, the Funny Guy, the Smarty Pants, the Summer Fling and – of course – the Unattainable. At the book’s heart are fifteen ‘case studies’ for readers to fill in themselves, which will give them an overview of their ‘type’. This in-depth case file of secret crushes will make a great gift for swooning romantics everywhere.

The first book to focus on the big new global trend in graffiti and street art, written by a leading pioneer of lasting walls on a gigantic scale.

Mural XXL Claudia Walde Claudia Walde – aka the internationally renowned street artist MadC – is also the author of Sticker City and Street Fonts, both published by Thames & Hudson. 286 illustrations 31.0 x 26.0cm 192pp (includes 2 x 6pp gatefolds) ISBN 978 0 500 239308 September £24.95

In its early days, illegal graffiti and street art were of necessity modest in scale, hastily created in hours or even minutes, and destroyed just as quickly by authorities, vandals or the elements. Now, however, graffiti writers and street artists are able to take their work to an entirely new level, creating carefully planned, permanent works that cover entire buildings and add a new visual dimension to the world’s cities. Claudia Walde, better known as the record-breaking street muralist MadC, has selected more than 200 of the best XXL works and profiled nearly 30 artists who pioneered this trend. Working in dangerous conditions, often hundreds of metres above the ground, yet always keenly aware of the view from street level, these new street muralists are as fearless and technically skilled as they are creatively brilliant. This is a thrilling, super-sized, international celebration of one of the most visible new art movements on the streets of our cities.

The groundbreaking bible of the international street-art movement, now available in a compact edition.

Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant Martha Cooper has contributed the photographs for over twenty books and is Director of Photography at City Lore, the New York Center for Urban Folk Culture. Henry Chalfant is President of the Board of Directors at the same institution, and is also the author of Spraycan Art. 154 illustrations 33.5 x 23.4cm 128pp ISBN 978 0 500 292129 September £14.95

‘Many of the images are today iconic masterpieces … one of the most influential art books of its time’ Eye Magazine

In 1984, photographers Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant captured the imagination of a generation with Subway Art, a groundbreaking book documenting the work of graffiti writers who illegally painted subway cars in New York City. The 2009 edition of the book is now available in a new, slightly reduced format. Henry Chalfant’s images of the trains retain their impact, while Martha Cooper’s narrative pictures tell the story. In the introductions, the authors recall how they gained entry to the New York graffiti community in the 1970s and 1980s and describe the techniques that they used to photograph it. Afterwords report how the lives of the original subway artists have unfolded, and chronicle the end of the subway graffiti scene in the late 1980s and its unexpected rebirth as a global art movement. This is an essential book for all fans of graffiti, stunning photography and 1980s-cool.

The World Atlas of Tattoo Anna Felicity Friedman

Showcases the work of the top tattoo artists around the globe.

Foreword by James Elkins

The World Atlas of Tattoo is a vibrant and well-informed showcase of the top 100 tattoo artists at work in the world today, from Nazareno Tubaro in Buenos Aires to Colin Dale in Copenhagen, and from Susanne ‘Susa’ König in Amsterdam to Jill ‘Horiyuki’ Bonny in California and Steve Ma Ching in New Zealand. Organized geographically, each section is introduced by a concise overview of the types of tattooing traditionally practised in that region, enabling you to trace historical threads in the careers of some of the profiled contemporary tattooers, as well as marvel at how other artists have managed to create wholly new forms of tattooing. The styles and genres on show span a huge aesthetic range, from stark geometric blackwork to vibrantly coloured painterly masterpieces, and from tiny hand-tattooed shapes to vast machine-drawn designs that cover large areas of the body. The book also tracks the movement and development of styles from their indigenous settings, where they have often been transformed into creative, multicultural, hybrid designs. Written by an international team of experts, this comprehensive atlas will enlighten and excite anyone who is passionate about tattoo art in all its many forms.

103

Anna Felicity Friedman teaches at the University of Chicago, where she has conducted research on the history of tattooing. She has recently curated a travelling exhibition about tattoo history and culture. James Elkins is E.C. Chadbourne Chair of art history, theory, and criticism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Over 750 illustrations 23.5 x 22.0cm 400pp ISBN 978 0 500 517864 September £24.95

London Burning Portraits from a Creative City Author & Editor: Hossein Amirsadeghi Executive Editor: Maryam Homayoun Eisler

More than one hundred profiles of the leading creative personalities at the beating heart of the world’s cultural capital.

104

Hossein Amirsadeghi is a writer, publisher, editor and documentary film maker, and the driving force behind Sanctuary, Different Sames, New Vision, Istanbul Contrasts and Frozen Dreams, all published by Thames & Hudson. Over 700 illustrations 32.0 x 27.0cm 588pp ISBN 978 0 500 970713 October £58.00

Having invented the Swinging 60s, punk rock in the 70s and Cool Britannia in the 90s, London in the 2010s is firing up the engine of renewal yet again. London Burning celebrates Britain’s capital as today’s international HQ for creativity and innovation. London Burning traces the city’s sparking of change across architecture, cinema and theatre, literature, dance, fashion, media and music, technology, design, and the visual and culinary arts, also exploring the tribal dynamics that have always underpinned the city’s creative scene and the forces behind city’s unique drive. The capital today is a cultural Molotov cocktail fuelled by hedonism, money, power and ethnic combustibility: quite a backdrop to London Burning’s hundred probing interviews and profiles, which introduce creative personalities young and old, highbrow and populist, Establishment figures and newbies, set against the variegated scenes they inhabit. Profilees include Nicholas Serota, Antony Gormley, Peter Ackroyd, Jude Kelly, Alastair Spalding, Alan Yentob, David Chipperfield, Matthew Slotover, Fergus Henderson, Ruthie Rogers, Mark Hix, Alexandra Shulman, Jackie Wullschlager, Grayson Perry, Tinie Tempah, Roksanda Ilinic... the list goes on. Unlocking secret passions and embracing a range of lifestyles from the most outrageous to the most parochial, London Burning celebrates the feast of creativity being cooked by the people making tomorrow’s news.
