The Golden Age of Photojournalism
Russell "Russ" Melcher came to Europe and photographed the superstars of the time, either during their visits to Paris and France or accompanied them on worldwide trips. He witnessed many world events from film festivals to terrorist attacks. Among the portrayed were royal families like the Windsors, Grace Kelly & the Monegasques, as well as film legends like Romy Schneider, Alain Delon, Burt Lancaster, Erol Flynn, Alfred Hitchcock, Sofia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, and music legends like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Harry Belafonte, and Yves Montand. In addition, there were political greats such as Charles DeGaulle, Fidel Castro, Nikita Khrushchev, the Shah of Persia, American presidents, and many more. Later Russ Melcher became director of the legendary photo agency MAGNUM and worked with photo legends Robert Capa, Henry Cartier-Bresson, Ian Berry, Bruce Davidson, Elliott Erwitt, to name a few. This large-format photo book is about the stories behind the images and personalities.
Entertaining, humorous, but also profound, Russ describes his way to the perfect photo, his individual perspective, up to the importance of photographic storytelling of this 'Golden Age of Photojournalism'. Russ Melcher is an important witness to that time, but also an American entertainer in Paris who encouraged his protagonists to do things that few photographers could manage, a true and trusted partner to the stars of that era through the ages. The book is organised according to the two decades and Russell's encounters with the stars of the time.

Bruce Gilden: Cherry Blossom
Bruce Gilden first set foot in Japan in 1994. On that trip and subsequent others, he explored the meandering streets of a country that had long fascinated him. From Tokyo to Osaka, he laid Japan bare in his own inimitable photographic style. Each image is a very close and powerful encounter with a story behind it. As ever, Gilden makes his approach, talks, tells stories, takes photographs, and paints a portrait of a unique street scene. In search of personalities as strong as his own, Gilden drew on the details around him to transcribe his vision of Japan: one man's suit, another's hat, or a woman's posture. All of these elements, which give strength to the images, form a captivating ensemble - on the margins, just like him.
In Cherry Blossom, Gilden tells the story of these voyages and the ties he maintains with Japan in a rare introductory text. The stories told alongside these pictures - whether an anecdote or a dialogue with their characters - render the American photographer's vision even more contemporary than ever.

The Double Life of Bob Dylan Volume 2: 1966-2021
The second volume of Clinton Heylin's magisterial biography takes us from Dylan's 1966 motorcycle accident to the present day. We meet a man who is determined to confound expectations; yet whatever he does only seems to confirm his iconic status to fans and critics alike.
There are peaks and troughs. Long periods of writer's block are followed by sudden bursts of creativity that produce some of the best work of his career, including perhaps his most celebrated album, 1975's Blood On The Tracks. There is the unpredictable recording process, with Dylan often including on his albums the worst takes and leaving off the best songs altogether. On the Neverending Tour he reinvents his songbook on a nightly basis, at times without recognition. Then there are the albums and songs that reveal the genius of an artist whose lyrics draw on centuries of American culture but who refuses to be shackled to his own past.
Today his voice is almost unrecognisable from his 1960s peak, and the man whose songs had been devoted to dissecting his romantic relationships has become focused on mortality, solitude and getting old. Yet his albums continue to top the charts, 2020's Rough And Rowdy Ways being his fourth No. 1 album of the twenty-first century.
There is no other living artist whose creative output has remained constantly intriguing, often baffling, sometimes infuriating but always fascinating for over sixty years. Clinton Heylin's definitive, scrupulously researched and revelatory life, based on unprecedented access to the official Tulsa archive and other new sources, paints the fullest and brightest portrait yet of an iconic figure that has defined contemporary culture.

Goodbye Russia
In 1940 Sergei Rachmaninoff, living in exile in America, broke his creative silence and composed a swan song to his Russian homeland. What happened in those final haunted years and how did he come to write his farewell masterpiece, the Symphonic Dances?
Rachmaninoff left Petrograd in 1917 in the throes of the Russian Revolution. He was 44 years old, at the peak of his powers as composer-conductor-performer, moving in elite Tsarist circles, as well as running the family estate, his refuge and solace. He had already written the music which, today, has made him one of the most popular composers of all time: the second and third Piano Concertos and two symphonies. The story of his years in exile in America and Switzerland, has only been told in passing. Reeling from the trauma of a life in upheaval, he wrote almost no music and quickly had to reinvent himself as a feted virtuoso pianist, building up untold wealth and meeting the stars- from Walt Disney and Charlie Chaplin to his Russian contemporaries and polar opposites, Prokofiev and Stravinsky.
Yet the melancholy of leaving his homeland never lifted. Using a wide range of sources, including important newly translated texts, Maddocks' immensely readable book conjures impressions of this enigmatic figure, his friends and the world he encountered. It explores his life as an emigré artist and how he clung to an Old Russia which no longer existed. That forging of past and present meets in his Symphonic Dances (1940), his last composition, written on Long Island shortly before his death in Beverly Hills, surrounded by a close-knit circle of Russian exiles.

Denim and Leather
In the late 1970s, aggressive, young bands are forming across Britain. Independent labels are springing up to release their music. But this isn't the story of punk. Forget punk. Punk was a flash in the pan compared to this. This is the story of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, a musical movement that changed the world.
From this movement - given the unwieldy acronym NWOBHM - sprang streams that would flow through metal's subsequent development. Without NWOBHM there is no thrash metal, no death metal, no black metal. Without the rise of Iron Maiden, NWOBHM's standard bearers, leading the charge to South America and to South Asia, metal's global spread is slower. Without the NWOBHM bands - who included Def Leppard, Motorhead, Judas Priest, Diamond Head and many others - the international uniform of heavy metal - the 'battle jacket' of a denim jacket with sleeves ripped off, and covered with patches (usually sewn on by the wearer's mum), worn over a leather biker jacket - does not exist: 'Denim and leather brought us all together,' as Saxon put it.
No book has ever gathered together all the principals of British heavy rock's most fertile period: Jimmy Page, Rick Allen, Michael Schenker, Robert John 'Mutt' Lange, Ritchie Blackmore, Rick Savage, Phil Collen, David Coverdale, Cronos, Biff Byford, Joe Elliott, Rob Halford, Ian Gillan, Phil Mogg, Robert Plant, Tony Wilson, Lars Ulrich, Pete Waterman to name a few.
In Denim and Leather, these stars tell their own stories - their brilliant, funny tales of hubris and disaster, of ambition and success - and chart how, over a handful of years from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, a group of unlikely looking blokes from the provinces wearing spandex trousers changed heavy music forever.
This is the definitive story about the greatest days of British heavy rock.

Fotók amelyek megváltoztatták az évszázadot
A fényképezőgép jelen volt, amikor a Wright fivérek repülőgépe elemelkedett a földtől, megörökítette Kennedy elnököt a végzetes merénylet előtt és elkísérte, Neil Armstrongot a Holdra. Testközelből látta az évszázad legnagyobb sztárjait: Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Marlene Dietrich, Charlie Chaplin vagy a Beatles tagjai gyakran néztek farkasszemet az objektívvel. Fotográfiák emlékeznek meg Ayrton Senna brilliáns sikereiről és tragikus haláláról, Charles Lindbergh óceán átrepüléséről, Jimi Hendrix színpadi eksztázisairól vagy Mihail Gorbacsov és Ronald Reagan történelmi jelentőségű kézfogásáról. A fényképezőgép részt vett a század valamennyi fegyveres konfliktusában, a tűzvonalból küldte képes jelentéseit, amelyek világraszóló diadalokról és szörnyű veszteségekről regéltek - kíváncsi szeme elől semmi sem maradhatott rejtve. Eme köny híres és látványos fényképek által, olvasmányos és lendületes kisérőszöveg segítségével kalauzolja át az Olvasót a mögöttünk álló évszázadon, sokszínű és izgalmas utazásra invitál.

Adrift
From deep winter to late autumn, from east to west, Adrift takes the reader on a tour of the people, politics, history and wildlife of London's canals and rivers. Blending nature writing, social observation and memoir, Helen Babbs invites you on an eye-opening journey into a different side of the city. From Walthamstow Marsh in the east to Uxbridge in the west, Helen Babbs journeys along London's waterways on a canal boat called Pike, putting down roots for two weeks at a time before moving on. Taking in the River Lea and the Lee Navigation, the Regent's Canal and the Grand Union, she explores the London landscape in all its guises: marshland, wasteland, city centre and suburb. Adrift charts a year of Helen's life on Pike, exploring the changes wreaked by the seasons as well as by developers, and recounting the practical trials of living aboard. It is a story of mapping and discovery, of escape and opting out, but also of making connections and finding home. Just as the coots and cormorants dodge the detritus of a large city, so too does Helen wend through the beauty and the dirt to reveal an intimate and unusual portrait of London and of life.

Eames
The creative duo Charles Eames (1907 1978) and Ray Kaiser Eames (1912 1988) transformed the visual character of America. Though best known for their furniture, the husband and wife team were also forerunners in architecture, textile design, photography, and film.
The Eames work defined a new, multifunctional modernity, exemplary for its integration of craft and design, as well as for the use of modern materials, notably plywood and plastics. The Eames Lounge Chair Wood, designed with molded plywood technology, became a defining furniture piece of the twentieth century, while the couple s contribution to the Case Study Houses project not only made inventive use of industrial materials but also developed an adaptable floor plan of multipurpose spaces which would become a hallmark of postwar modern architecture.
From the couple s earliest furniture experiments to their seminal short film Powers of Ten, this book covers all the aspects of the illustrious Eames repertoire and its revolutionary impact on middle-class American living.
About the Series:
Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Architecture Series features: an introduction to the life and work of the architect
the major works in chronological order
information about the clients, architectural preconditions as well as construction problems and resolutions
a list of all the selected works and a map indicating the locations of the best and most famous buildings
approximately 120 illustrations (photographs, sketches, drafts and plans)
Managing Oneself
We live in an age of unprecedented opportunity: with ambition, drive, and talent, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession regardless of where you started out. But with opportunity comes responsibility. Companies today aren't managing their knowledge workers careers. Instead, you must be your own chief executive officer. That means it's up to you to carve out your place in the world and know when to change course. And it's up to you to keep yourself engaged and productive during a career that may span some 50 years. In Managing Oneself, Peter Drucker explains how to do it. The keys: Cultivate a deep understanding of yourself by identifying your most valuable strengths and most dangerous weaknesses; Articulate how you learn and work with others and what your most deeply held values are; and Describe the type of work environment where you can make the greatest contribution. Only when you operate with a combination of your strengths and self-knowledge can you achieve true and lasting excellence. Managing Oneself identifies the probing questions you need to ask to gain the insights essential for taking charge of your career. Peter Drucker was a writer, teacher, and consultant. His 34 books have been published in more than 70 languages. He founded the Peter F. Drucker Foundation for Nonprofit Management, and counseled 13 governments, public services institutions, and major corporations.

Világverseny a berekben
A könyv címe többféleképpen is értelmezhető, erre utal a két kötőjeles írásmód. Ha tehát titkos számítógépek történetét várja az Olvasó, éppúgy nem fog csalódni, mintha a számítógépek titkos történetét szeretné megismerni. E könyv célja ugyanis éppen az, hogy ne maradjanak örökre titokban a számolás �gépesítésének� kevesek által ismert, titkos vonulatai. Az eVilág Kiskönyvtár sorozat új kötetét bátran nevezhetjük hiánypótlónak, nemcsak mert eddig kevésbé ismert kísérletekről és eredményekről rántja le a leplet, hanem mert a számolás technikájának kétezer éves kronológiáját követi nyomon, a kínai maradéktételtől a holografikus memóriáig. E kísérletek részben megelőzték a közismert Neumann-féle számítógépek történetét, részben azzal párhuzamosan fejlődtek, a láthatatlan �színfalak mögött�, a rejtjelfejtés, vagy éppen a csendes magány titkos birodalmában. A történet ugyanis bizonyos ponton összefonódott a rejtjelfejtés próbálkozásaival, amelyek a titkosszolgálatok féltve őrzött kincseit képezve maradtak a XX. század rejtett tanúi. Így bontakozik ki e könyv lapjain egy napjainkig titokban, vagy éppen az elhallgatás homályában tartott számítógép-történet, amely talán teljesen megváltoztathatta volna a mai számítástechnika e-világunkat behálózó képét. A kötet tartalma ma már megismerhető tényekre épül, mégis megdöbbentő az a gondolatkísérlet, amelyre csábítja az Olvasót. Vajon milyen lenne (lehetne) e világunk, ha a titkos történet válik mindennapjaink valóságává, ha a Szilícium Völgyben D. N. Lehmer és fia D. H. Lehmer, vagy A. Turing korukat jóval megelőző konstrukcióira épülő csipek hódítják meg a világ egyik legnagyobb üzletágát? Vajon az az alapelveiben párhuzamos architektúra, amely akkor a számítógépek működésének természetes alapjává vált volna, ma milyen technikai korlátokat ostromolna? Vajon e merőben más számítógép-felépítés esetén, milyen távolságban lenne ma a mesterséges és a természetes intelligencia? A történet nyilvánosságra kerülése még indokoltabb, ha figyelembe vesszük, hogy 2002-ben volt Charles Babbage 210., Alan M. Turing 90., 2003-ban Blaise Pascal 380., Neumann János 100., 2004-ben pedig Norbert Wiener 110. születési évfordulója. Hiszen e mozaikokból válik érthetőbbé annak a számtalan kisebb-nagyobb óriásnak a szellemi nagysága, akiknek munkássága végül a XX. század kihívásaira adott napjainkig ható választ. A kötet tehát a �teljes információ� rögzítésének teljesíthetetlen igényével farag �holografikus szobrot� eme óriások tiszteletére.

Fables 9
Une tortue, un corbeau, un lièvre, une fourmi, un lion, et même un pot au lait : autant de figures familières qui peuplent, parmi tant d'autres, notre imaginaire, resurgissent régulièrement, et que nous devons toutes au fabuleux talent de Monsieur de La Fontaine. Il est le prince des poètes, lui qui a su transformer une tradition un peu rigide, celle de la fable, en un art exceptionnel, qui charme l'oreille tout en réjouissant l'esprit, réveille les bois, anime les animaux et parvient à toucher tous les hommes. Moralité : on aurait tort de ne pas se replonger dans la lecture des Fables, qui ravissent les enfants et enchantent les adultes ! Leur pertinence impertinente est sans doute à l'origine de leur succès ininterrompu : qu'on les récite, comme à l'école, qu'on se les répète pour soi seulement ou qu'on se les "mette en bouche", comme le fit avec un bonheur évident le comédien Fabrice Luchini, on ne résiste pas au petit plaisir d'une fable. --Karla Manuele
