Barry Trotter And The Dead House
Barry Trotter is pretty disreputable and unpleasant. Imagine what he was like as a teenager. Here's the beginning of the whole sorry tale. Did Barry and Ermine do it? (Their homwork, that is.) How exactly did Lon end up with a hole in his head that whistles when the wind blows? Was Lord Valumart always that crass? And where did that ridiculous German accent come from? As funny and twisted as the first two books, BARRY TROTTER AND THE DEAD HORSE is also as affectionate towards JK Rowling's originals. This has lead to the books gaining a devoted following amongst fans of Harry Potter as well as being a welcome antidote for the over-egging (eeuwww) of the boy wizard. A process that we're not a part of at all. Oh no. Not even a tiny bit.

Mapping Graphics
Revised edition featuring all-new designs.
Maps and charts are needed by both businesses and society in order to make complicated information and data comprehensible. The art of mapping has therefore become one of the core graphic design practices. However, very little literature exists on this subject and the few books available fail to address all the issues involved.
Mapping Graphic Navigational Systems offers a comprehensive study of all areas of cartography from nautical charts to subway systems, from websites to calendars. This guide reveals the visual language of location, direction, spatial and structural relationships which are central to the information design discipline. Featuring in-depth essays as well as inspiring visuals and case studies, this book will be welcomed by professional information designers and design students everywhere. This revised edition offers a timely update to the subject, and features brand-new material.

Semple Panic Stations
n this collection of illustrations and cartoons, Sempé explores some of his favourite themes, such as unspoken truths, failed communications and hidden talents. There are men talk who to their cars, while others hope to communicate with creatures from distant planets, as well as women yearning for long-vanished civilisations, girls dreaming of pop stardom and children getting up to no good, as usual.
Most famous in the English-speaking world for his instantly recognizable New Yorker covers, Jean-Jacques Sempé has delighted readers in France and beyond with his witty drawings and keen eye for the finer points of the human condition for over 40 years. Now, his sharply observed and beautifully drawn cartoons are available in English for the first time. The pithy captions were translated from the original French by Anthea Bell, who also translated the Asterix comics into English.

Balcony And Terrace, Evergree
Terraces and balconies have always been essential architectural features - they are effectively the continuation of a dwelling outdoors. Terraces are mostly related directly to the landscape surrounding a building. They can frame a view - for instanc
e, through canopies or side walls - they can imitate particular landscape elements on their own more human scale, or they can enable the landscape to be perceived and experienced in a different way. Unlike terraces, balconies are first and foremost a
structural element of a house, epitomising the character of the building and its architectural style. The balcony can be the crowing glory of a house - the extension of the living space outdoors. This book introduces terraces and balconies from all
over the world that have been created by well-knowm architects and designers and that are particulary original or successfully unite aesthetics and functionaly.

R. M. Schindler
R.M. Schindler (1887-1953) is a pivotal Modernist architect who, during his career, remained largely unrecognized by the critical establishment. This text provides a comprehensive evaluation of his entire career as both a designer and a theoretician, during which time Schindler designed more than 500 projects, over 150 of which were built, most of these in the Los Angeles area. Judith Sheine, herself a practising architect, takes a more expository than theoretical approach to Schindler's work, and concentrates on the uniqueness of Schindler's Space Architecture - an architecture to be experienced directly, through occupying the interior space. The volume is an analysis of Schindler's work, influences and buildings, rather than a strict biographical account of his life. It features archival material and new photographs of important buildings, as well as over 150 redrawn plans, sections and diagrams.

Worldwide Graphic Design Asia
In this new series we're presenting contemporary graphic design from different parts of the world. Even though during the last decades globalization seems to have resulted in the different cultures and societies moving closer together, and although communication and cultural exchange has increased, many regional designs still retain distinctive characteristics that reflect their origin.
The third volume of the series is dedicated to an entire continent: Asia. The selected designs originate from regions all over the continent, from Israel in the west to Japan in the far east. They represent an enormous diversity of styles, scripts, forms and visual languages. Recurring motivs are floral images and ornaments, while architecture – a dominating element in so many European designs – is almost absent. Nature, faces, script and myth play an important part in many works. It's a fascinating visual journey!

1000 Icons, Symbols, and Pictograms
Pictorial symbols are, in some respects, superior to words as a form of communication. If well-designed, they can be understood by people of all different races and cultures and can be recognized by children literally years before they learn to read. Symbols can be identified more quickly than words, making them especially useful in situations where fast reactions are required (e.g., control panels in airplanes.) As a result, symbols are of the utmost importance to graphic designers and their ever-present challenge to create effective visual communication for their clients. Like Rockport’s other “1,000” series books, this collection of designs provides a virtual catalog of ideas for designers to look to for creative inspiration. No matter what type of job or client presents itself, designers can view the work of 1,000 other talented designers to find unique and distinctive elements and influences.

Admirers of Dali’s work will recognize the imagery that lies beneath much of his erotic work yet many will be surprised by the quality of his sketches, which rival his paintings in their technical brilliance. Printed on quality stock and designed to imitate an artist’s sketchbook—down to the cardboard cover and delicate red ribbon tie—this exquisite volume will please fans of Dali as well as erotic art collectors.
