Elements: Architecture in Detail
Elements is the second volume in the 'Architecture in Detail' series, which presents a collection of new projects in which the designer's ideas are evident in the minor moments of space, such as the curve of a handrail, the profile of a cabinet, the form and texture of a wall. The images feature staircases to doors and windows, all used to shape a broad variety of residential, commercial, and institutional environments. The details often challenge our perceptions of elemental form, in some cases creating fanciful hybrids of many elements in one. All are records of the enormous conceptual presence a detail can hold as well as its power to infuse architecture with effects of poetry, delicacy, tension, and surprise.

Last Days Of Night
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A thrilling novel based on actual events, about the nature of genius, the cost of ambition, and the battle to electrify America—from the Oscar-winning screenwriter of The Imitation Game and author of The Sherlockian NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST AND THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER • SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING EDDIE REDMAYNE New York, 1888. Gas lamps still flicker in the city streets, but the miracle of electric light is in its infancy. The person who controls the means to turn night into day will make history—and a vast fortune. A young untested lawyer named Paul Cravath, fresh out of Columbia Law School, takes a case that seems impossible to win. Paul’s client, George Westinghouse, has been sued by Thomas Edison over a billion-dollar question: Who invented the light bulb and holds the right to power the country? The case affords Paul entry to the heady world of high society—the glittering parties in Gramercy Park mansions, and the more insidious dealings done behind closed doors. The task facing him is beyond daunting. Edison is a wily, dangerous opponent with vast resources at his disposal—private spies, newspapers in his pocket, and the backing of J. P. Morgan himself. Yet this unknown lawyer shares with his famous adversary a compulsion to win at all costs. How will he do it? In obsessive pursuit of victory, Paul crosses paths with Nikola Tesla, an eccentric, brilliant inventor who may hold the key to defeating Edison, and with Agnes Huntington, a beautiful opera singer who proves to be a flawless performer on stage and off. As Paul takes greater and greater risks, he’ll find that everyone in his path is playing their own game, and no one is quite who they seem. Praise for The Last Days of Night “A satisfying romp . . . Takes place against a backdrop rich with period detail . . . Works wonderfully as an entertainment . . . As it charges forward, the novel leaves no dot unconnected.”—Noah Hawley, The New York Times Book Review “This captivating historical novel illuminates a fascinating American moment.”—People “A fascinating portrait of American inventors . . . Moore crafts a compelling narrative out of [Paul] Cravath’s cunning legal maneuvers and [Nikola] Tesla’s world-changing tinkering, while a story line on opera singer Agnes Huntington has the mysterious glamour of The Great Gatsby. . . . Moore weaves a complex web. . . . He conjures Gilded Age New York City so vividly, it feels like only yesterday.”—Entertainment Weekly “A model of superior historical fiction . . . Graham Moore digs deep into long-forgotten facts to give us an exciting, sometimes astonishing story of two geniuses locked in a brutal battle to change the world. . . . [A] brilliant journey into the past.”—The Washington Post “Mesmerizing, clever, and absolutely crackling, The Last Days of Night is a triumph of imagination. Graham Moore has chosen Gilded Age New York as his playground, with outsized characters—Edison, Tesla, Westinghouse—as his players. The result is a beautifully researched, endlessly entertaining novel that will leave you buzzing.”—Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl “It’s part legal thriller, part tour of a magical time—the age of wonder—and once you’ve finished it, you’ll find it hard to return to the world of now.”—Erik Larson, author of The Devil in the White City

Atlas Maior - Anglia
The Atlas Maior, the cartographical masterpiece of the Baroque period, was brought out between 1662 and 1665 by the Amsterdam publisher Joan Blaeu, one of Holland’s leading cartographers. Originally appearing in Latin, the atlas comprised 594 maps in 11 volumes, which depicted the whole of the world as known to early modern Europe. It was the largest and most expensive book published during the 17th century. For more than 100 years it remained the definitive atlas of the world, and today is among the most sought-after and valuable antiquarian rarities. This reprinted edition in six volumes is based on the hand-colored, gold-heightened copy in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, thus ensuring the best possible detail and quality. Alongside Joan Blaeu’s original commentaries on the individual maps, a new text by Peter van der Krogt explains the historical and cultural associations and introduces the reader to the fascinating world of early modern cartography.This two-volume set features all 58 maps of England and 55 maps of Scotland and Ireland and the text is in English, French, and German.

2 Years 8 Months
"NEW YORK TIMES "BESTSELLER From Salman Rushdie, one of the great writers of our time, comes a spellbinding work of fiction that blends history, mythology, and a timeless love story. A lush, richly layered novel in which our world has been plunged into an age of unreason, "Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights" is a breathtaking achievement and an enduring testament to the power of storytelling. In the near future, after a storm strikes New York City, the strangenesses begin. A down-to-earth gardener finds that his feet no longer touch the ground. A graphic novelist awakens in his bedroom to a mysterious entity that resembles his own sub Stan Lee creation. Abandoned at the mayor s office, a baby identifies corruption with her mere presence, marking the guilty with blemishes and boils. A seductive gold digger is soon tapped to combat forces beyond imagining. Unbeknownst to them, they are all descended from the whimsical, capricious, wanton creatures known as the jinn, who live in a world separated from ours by a veil. Centuries ago, Dunia, a princess of the jinn, fell in love with a mortal man of reason. Together they produced an astonishing number of children, unaware of their fantastical powers, who spread across generations in the human world. Once the line between worlds is breached on a grand scale, Dunia s children and others will play a role in an epic war between light and dark spanning a thousand and one nights or two years, eight months, and twenty-eight nights. It is a time of enormous upheaval, in which beliefs are challenged, words act like poison, silence is a disease, and a noise may contain a hidden curse. Inspired by the traditional wonder tales of the East, Salman Rushdie s novel is a masterpiece about the age-old conflicts that remain in today s world. "Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights" is satirical and bawdy, full of cunning and folly, rivalries and betrayals, kismet and karma, rapture and redemption. Praise for "Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights" Rushdie is our Scheherazade, inexhaustibly enfolding story within story and unfolding tale after tale with such irrepressible delight that it comes as a shock to remember that, like her, he has lived the life of a storyteller in immediate peril. . . . Readers are going to admire the courage of this book, revel in its fierce colors, its boisterousness, humor and tremendous pizzazz, and take delight in its generosity of spirit. Ursula K. Le Guin, "The Guardian" Erudite without flaunting it, an amusement park of a pulpy disaster novel that resists flying out of control by being grounded by religion, history, culture and love. "Los Angeles Times" [A] rambunctious, satirical, and bewitching metaphysical fable, perhaps his most thoroughly enjoyable to date . . . fantastically inventive, spirited, astute, and delectable. "Booklist "(starred review) A composite of magic realism, mythology, science fiction and straight-up fantasy . . . Like the best Rushdie novels, "Two Years" is playful and inventive, and also intellectually bracing. "The Globe and Mail" Incandescent . . . brilliant, ambitious . . . One cannot escape the feeling that all those years of writing and success have perhaps been preparation for this moment, for the creation of this tremendously inventive and timely novel. "San Francisco Chronicle" Translates the bloody upheavals of our last few decades into the comic-book antics of warring jinn wielding bolts of fire, mystical transmutations and rhyming battle spells. "The Washington Post"

The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt
This classic biography is the story of seven men--a naturalist, a writer, a lover, a hunter, a ranchman, a soldier, and a politician--who merged at age forty-two to become the youngest President in history.
The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt begins at the apex of his international prestige. That was on New Year's Day, 1907, when TR, who had just won the Nobel Peace Prize, threw open the doors of the White House to the American people and shook 8,150 hands. One visitor remarked afterward, "You go to the White House, you shake hands with Roosevelt and hear him talk--and then you go home to wring the personality out of your clothes."
The rest of this book tells the story of TR's irresistible rise to power. During the years 1858-1901, Theodore Roosevelt transformed himself from a frail, asthmatic boy into a full-blooded man. Fresh out of Harvard, he simultaneously published a distinguished work of naval history and became the fist-swinging leader of a Republican insurgency in the New York State Assembly. He chased thieves across the Badlands of North Dakota with a copy of Anna Karenina in one hand and a Winchester rifle in the other. Married to his childhood sweetheart in 1886, he became the country squire of Sagamore Hill on Long Island, a flamboyant civil service reformer in Washington, D.C., and a night-stalking police commissioner in New York City. As assistant secretary of the navy, he almost single-handedly brought about the Spanish-American War. After leading "Roosevelt's Rough Riders" in the famous charge up San Juan Hill, Cuba, he returned home a military hero, and was rewarded with the governorship of New York. In what he called his "spare hours" he fathered six children and wrote fourteen books. By 1901, the man Senator Mark Hanna called "that damned cowboy" was vice president. Seven months later, an assassin's bullet gave TR the national leadership he had always craved.
His is a story so prodigal in its variety, so surprising in its turns of fate, that previous biographers have treated it as a series of haphazard episodes. This book, the only full study of TR's pre-presidential years, shows that he was an inevitable chief executive. "It was as if he were subconsciously aware that he was a man of many selves," the author writes, "and set about developing each one in turn, knowing that one day he would be President of all the people."

Christo & Jeanne-Claude
In February 2005, Christo and Jeanne-Claude completed a monumental work of art in New York City’s Central Park. First conceived in 1979 but rejected by New York City government in 1981, the project, featuring 7500 16-foot-high vinyl gates lining the park’s paths from which hang from saffron-colored fabric panels, was finally approved by the governor in 2003. Seen from the buildings surrounding the park, The Gates looked like a golden, flowing river, while those walking through them experienced the ambience of a fluid, golden ceiling. Financed entirely by artists through their C.V.J. Corporation, The Gates were fabricated and assembled in local factories and installed by local workers, thus providing employment for thousands of New York City residents. Unrolled on February 12, “Flowering Day,” The Gates remained in place for sixteen days, after which they were disassembled and the materials recycled. The installation was free for all visitors, who continued to use Central Park undisturbed during the whole process. This book, which documents the entire project from its beginnings in 1979 to its completion in 2005, is the perfect souvenir for who want to remember this ephemeral work of art.

Art by Tattooists
Tattoos and tattoo culture have gone mainstream in the last few years, with popular TV shows such as LA Ink, Miami Ink, and London Ink making celebrities out of tattooists and their clients. Highly skilled artists, many tattooists have moved beyond the artwork they draw on skin to create personal work on canvas. Art by Tattooists is the first book to showcase this art.The book features twenty-six international artists who use a variety of mediums, from ink, watercolor, acrylic paint, and oil to lino printing, painting on wood and board, and even examples of tattoo-style street art and skateboard graphics. Many of the artists are heavily influenced by the imagery they use as tattooists—roses, hearts, skulls, scrolls, birds, pin-ups, etc.—and carry this into their personal work. Other work features colors, themes, or subject matter that is more subtly related to tattoo styles.Given the current popularity of all things tattoo-related, the book will have a wide appeal, not only to anyone interested in tattoo art and culture but also to artists, illustrators, designers, and students.

Destination Morgue
« Le regard que j’ai toujours porté sur L.A. est celui d’un autochtone. Je n’ai jamais vu cette ville comme une terre étrangre dépeinte par des écrivains venus d’ailleurs. C’est l que j’ai grandi. Les données que je récoltais, je les passais au crible, je les transfigurais comme un gamin peut le faire. Il y en avait pour tous les gots. Les lignes conductrices qui reliaient entre elles les divers éléments, c’étaient la corruption et l’obsession… » En attendant le dernier volume de sa trilogie Underworld USA, James Ellroy continue la psychanalyse sauvage de sa propre vie et de sa ville natale dans des textes percutants, comme O je trouve mes idées bizarres (« C’est un Rubik’s cube. Le mécanisme interne affiche des souvenirs et des pensées. Des images remplacent les blocs colorés et trouvent leur cohésion en un clic. »), comme Ma vie de branleur (« Le sexe a failli me tuer. Le sexe que je parvenais pratiquer sans contact humain. »), ou J’ai les infos (« On veut savoir. Qui couche avec qui. Qui suce qui. Qui a le bras long et du pognon. Nous nous repaissons de faits épouvantablement authentiques. ») Il passe la boxe au crible dans Sport sanglant, et dans Stephanie, un texte aussi dérangeant que bouleversant, il redit sa fascination et sa compassion pour les victimes de crimes sexuels (« Son parfum qui subsistait malgré toutes ces années –ou une illusion née de votre désir de le capter »), enfin il ramne l’inénarrable Danny Getchell dans le truculent Baisodrome d’Hollywood. Il parle aussi de son pre, de la peine de mort, de la justice, de ses provocations, avec force, honnteté voire brutalité, dans ce style coup de poing qui n’appartient qu’ lui. C’est un alcool fort qui vous fracasse la tte. C’est du Ellroy.

Living Africa
A remarkable, intimate, one-of-a-kind visual document of the people, places, and wildlife of Africa today.In his new book, Steve Bloom expresses, as no photographer has ever done, the essence and the diversity of this gigantic continent. From the tallest sand dunes in the world in the Namibian desert to the lush green wetlands of Botswana's Okavango Delta, from the swirling markets of Zanzibar to the windswept rocks and gullies of South Africa's Table Mountain, he captures the colors and cultures of Africa today.More than 200 photographs of Africa's peoples and wildlife perfectly encapsulate the vibrancy of tribal traditions and the beauty of the landscape. Here are Mozambican miners who endure harsh working conditions nearly two miles underground, Ndebele women running community workshops, Surma and Mursi women with giant plates in their lips, and many others across the continent, north, south, east, and west.Alongside these stories of human fortitude and stamina, there are awe-inspiring photographs of African wildlife: cheetahs, their coats a blur of color against the sun-bleached background, vast flocks of birds scattered across bright blue skies, and herds of zebras gathered in the African moonlight. 200+ color photographs.

Vanessa és Virginia
Erősnek kell lenned, ha olyan húgod van, mint Virgina Woolf.
London, 1905. A város nagy változásokat él meg, és a Stephen testvérek e változások élharcosai. Vanessa, Virginia, Thoby és Adrian megválnak gyermekkori otthonuktól, és a zöldellő parkokkal tarkított, bohém hangulatú Bloomsbury negyedben bérelnek házat. Új otthonuk hamarosan fiatal értelmiségiekből és művészekből álló baráti társaság találkozóhelye lesz.
A társaság később híressé és sikeressé váló tagjai a történet kezdetén még pályájuk elején járnak. Vanessa Bell még egyetlen festményét sem tudta eladni. Húga, Virginia könyvkritikáját visszautasítja a The Times. Barátjuk, Lytton Strachey még semmit sem publikált. E. M. Forster ugyan befejezte első regényét, de a címmel nem sikerül dűlőre jutnia. Leonard Woolf köztisztviselő Ceylon szigetén, John Maynard Keynes pedig állást keres. E ragyogó elmék és tehetséges művészbarátaik elvetik a viktoriánus társadalom konvencióit, és a londoni bohémvilág zabolátlan szabadságát élvezik.
Ám hirtelen minden megváltozik, amikor Vanessa váratlanul beleszeret a baráti kör egyik tagjába. Húga, Virginia úgy érzi, magára maradt. A varázslatos személyiségű, karizmatikus és lángeszű fiatal lány, aki egész életében Vanessa óvó figyelmének középpontjában állt, mindent megtesz azért, hogy kisajátítsa nővérét. Érzékeny idegrendszere megsínyli a változásokat: egyre inkább az őrület határára sodródik. Árulás és bizalmatlanság ver éket a családtagok közé. Vanessának el kell döntenie, hogy hajlandó-e bárki mással szemben megvédeni a saját boldogságát.
Priya Parmar regénye izgalmas képet fest az első világháború előtti London szellemi pezsgéséről és a híres testvérpár, Vanessa Bell és Virginia Woolf nem mindennapi életéről.

This book is also part of the series that covers the decorative styles prevalent in Europe since the beginning of the western calendar. The series focuses on two dimensional designs. The dominant style of the 17th and half of the 18th century was the Baroque. The applied arts of this period were typified by the use of bold, sometimes overstated forms, including exaggerated curves and curls.
