Art History: A Very Short Introduction
This clear and concise new introduction examines all the major debates and issues using a wide range of well-known examples. It discusses the challenge of using verbal and written language to analyse a visual form. Dana Arnold also examines the many different ways of writing about art, and the changing boundaries of the subject of art history. Topics covered include the canon of Art History, the role of the gallery, 'blockbuster' exhibitions, the emergence of social histories of art (Feminist Art History or Queer Art History, for example), the impact of photography, and the development of Art History using artefacts such as the altarpiece, the portrait, or pornography, to explore social and cultural issues such as consumption, taste, religion, and politics. Importantly, this book explains how the traditional emphasis on periods and styles originates in western art production and can obscure other critical approaches, as well as art from non western cultures.
Think
This is a book about the big questions in life: knowledge, consciousness, fate, God, truth, goodness, justice. It is for anyone who believes there are big questions out there, but does not know how to approach them. Think sets out to explain what they are and why they are important.
Simon Blackburn begins by putting forward a convincing case for the study of philosophy and goes on to give the reader a sense of how the great historical figures such as Descartes, Hume, Kant, and Wittgenstein have approached its central themes. Each chapter explains a major issue, and gives the reader a self-contained guide through the problems that philosophers have studied. The large scope of topics covered range from scepticism, the self, mond and body, and freedom to ethics and thearguments surrounding the existence of God.
Lively and approachable, this book is ideal for all those who want to learn how the basic techniques of thinking shape our existence.

The Accidental Apprentice
In life you never get what you deserve: you get what you negotiate… What would you do if, out of the blue, a billionaire industrialist decided to make you the CEO of his company? No prior business experience necessary. There is only one catch: you need to pass seven tests from the 'textbook of life'. This is the offer made to Sapna Sinha, an ordinary salesgirl in an electronics boutique in downtown Delhi, by Vinay Mohan Acharya, one of India's richest men. Thus begins the most challenging journey of Sapna's life, one that will test her character, her courage and her capabilities. Along the way she encounters a host of memorable personalities, from a vain Bollywood superstar to a kleptomaniac Gandhian. At stake is a business empire worth ten billion dollars, and the future she has always dreamt of. But are the seven tests for real or is Acharya playing a deeper game, one driven by a perverse fantasy? From the acclaimed author of Slumdog Millionaire, one of the biggest films of the decade, comes this compelling, suspenseful tale of the power of dreams, the lure of money and the universal need to know who we are.

Paris - Roman einer Stadt
Der Meister des Monumental-Epos entdeckt Paris neu Von der Gründung in der Antike bis zum 20. Jahrhundert zeichnet dieser Roman die Entwicklung von Paris anhand des Schicksals vierer Familien nach - farbenprächtig, detailgenau und reich an historisch bedeutenden Episoden. Die Niederschlagung der Pariser Kommune spielt dabei ebenso eine Rolle wie die Errichtung des Eiffelturms, der Leser bekommt Einblicke in das Napoleonische Zeitalter wie in die Zeit der deutschen Besatzung 1940. Edward Rutherfurd erzählt von sechs Familien, deren Schicksale sich über Jahrhunderte mit der großen Historie von Paris verweben Da sind die adligen Le Cygnes, deren monarchistisches Weltbild in der Französischen Revolution ins Schwanken gerät und die im 20. Jahrhundert die Résistance unterstützen. Da sind die Brüder Thomas und Luc Gascon, die in den Hinterhöfen von Montmartre zu Hause sind und bei der Errichtung des Eiffelturms Glanz und Elend erleben. So unterschiedlich sie in ihrem Temperament sind, halten der ehrbare Handwerker (Thomas) und der Luftikus mit zweifelhaften Einnahmequellen (Luc) doch zusammen, bis sie als alte Männer, zur Zeit der deutschen Besatzung, zu Feinden wider Willen werden. Und schließlich sind da die Blanchards , die im Napoleonischen Zeitalter im Handel ihr Glück machten und später die großen Warenhäuser und Konsumtempel der Stadt leiten. Aber auch Kunsthändler (Jacob), Kurtisanen (Louise) und eine Familie (Le Sourd), die immer auf Seiten der Revolutionäre mitwirkte, spielen eine tragende Rolle in diesem gewaltigen Epos.

Wood Architecture Now! 2
Living material - You'll be amazed what wood can do. As soon as the first men bravely moved out of their protective caves, they surely built protective structures out of wood. The ultimate renewable resource for architecture is thus the oldest, but also the most modern of materials. Thanks to computer-driven design and manufacturing techniques, wood can be cut and carved in the most astonishing new ways. Such innovative contributors to the work published in this volume as the German professor Achim Menges are showing the way to the creation of complex, almost living wood structures. Others like the young architects from WMR who are based in Santiago, Chile, show just how it is possible to build a dramatic two-story wood cabin overlooking the Pacific for just $ 30,000. Or imagine how an innovative polyurethane-coated wood canopy can cover and renew a whole area of the historic city of Seville (Metropol Parasol by Jurgen Mayer H.). Just as it can be simple and evocative, wood can be part of sophisticated structures like Snohetta's Norwegian Wild Reindeer Pavilion, with its CNC-milled timber wall. Economical, ecological, and fundamentally warm, wood architecture is as contemporary as it gets.

Tess of the D`Urbervilles
"I would be content, ay, glad, to live with you as your servant, if I may not as your wife; so that I could only be near you, and get glimpses of you, and think of you as mine...I long for only one thing in heaven or earth or under the earth, to meet you, my own dear! Come to me - come to me, and save me from what threatens me"! When Tess Durbeyfield is driven by family poverty to claim kinship with the wealthy D'Urbervilles and seek a portion of their family fortune, meeting her 'cousin' Alec proves to be her downfall. A very different man, Angel Clare, seems to offer her love and salvation, but Tess must choose whether to reveal her past or remain silent in the hope of a peaceful future. With its sensitive depiction of the wronged Tess and powerful criticism of social convention, "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" is one of the most moving and poetic of Hardy's novels. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

Fashion: Rei Kawakubo
Kleidung als Konzept Die extravagante Lady hinter der Kultmarke Comme des Garçons Rei Kawakubo, die Gründerin des innovativen japanischen Modehauses Comme des Garçons, entwirft nicht bloß Kleidung; ihre Vision umfasst auch Möbel, Architektur und Grafikdesign. "Schlechter Stil" wäre für diesen weiblichen Samurai ein zu mickriger Gegner, und so attackiert Kawakubo lieber gleich dessen Ursache: spießiges Denken. In diesem Buch erforschen Autoren des Magazins i-D nun ihre Welt der kompexen Konzepte. Sie stöberten im Archiv der Zeitschrift und in alten Interviews, um zu erklären, weshalb und wodurch dieses Modelabel westliche Vorstellungen zu Körperkontur und Schneiderkunst derart herausfordert. Denn Rei Kawakubo brach nicht einfach nur mit dem less is more der Moderne, sie erschüttert unsere Idee von Bekleidung in den Grundfesten und verwischt dabei die Grenzen zwischen Mode und Kunst auf immer neue, immer wieder überraschende Weise. 120 Seiten, nach denen man Mode mit anderen Augen sieht. Mit biografischen und persönlichen Informationen zur "japanischen Coco Chanel", Fotografien von Paolo Roversi, David Bailey oder Emma Summerton sowie Interviews mit der Designerin von Jamie Huckbody, Josh Sims und Terry Jones. P. S.: Sie denken, Kleidung muss mehr als "$$$" sagen? Dann ist dieser Band genau das Richtige für Sie.

The J. R. R. Tolkien Companion And Guide: Boxed Set
Stunning three-volume slipcased set containing the most comprehensive in-depth companion to Tolkien’s life and works ever published, including synopses of all his writings, and a Tolkien gazetteer, who’s who and chronology.
The three volumes contained in this slipcase, written by two of the foremost experts on J.R.R. Tolkien, comprise the definitive handbook to one of the most popular authors of the 20th century. Tolkien's progress is traced from his birth in South Africa in 1892, to the battlefields of France and the lecture-halls of Leeds and Oxford, to his success as the author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, until his death in 1973. His many academic and literary achievements, his public reception, and his enduring fame are examined in detail.
The first volume in this set is a Chronology of Tolkien's life and works, the most extensive biographical resource about him ever published. Thousands of details have been drawn from letters, contemporary documents in libraries and archives, and a wide variety of other published and unpublished sources. Assembled together, they form a portrait of Tolkien in all his aspects: the distinguished scholar of Old and Middle English, the capable teacher and administrator, the devoted husband and father, the brilliant creator of Middle-earth.
The second and third volumes, the Reader's Guide, is an indispensable introduction to Tolkien's life, writings, and art. It includes histories and discussions of his works; analyses of the components of his vast 'Silmarillion' mythology; brief biographies of persons important in his life; accounts of places he knew; essays on topics such as Tolkien's interests and attitudes towards contemporary issues, ideas found in his works, adaptations, and invented languages; and checklists of his published works, his poetry, his pictorial art, and translations of his writing.

The Porsche Book Vol. 2
What an incredible milestone in the history of the sports car: in spring 2017, the Porsche 911 was made a millionaire. That is the number of models emblazoned with the legendary “9-1-1” produced by Porsche since 1963. What is the definition of the 911, of a Porsche?—the language of form and technical expertise. It is the ultimate sports car. Throughout the generations, every single 911 has fascinated owners and spectators alike. Even when a particular 911 series does not resemble its predecessor, the form, sound, and performance remain inspirational—the emotions are always on board! Dreams come alive, and not just for the guys. A Porsche driver is endowed with taste, technical prowess, a vision of the future, and the trappings of material success. The 356 laid the foundation for the myth of the Porsche, and it also formed the basis for models like the American Roadster, the 550, and the 718 RS 60 Spyder. Loyal companions include family members like the Boxster, Cayman, Panamera, Macan, and even the Cayenne. Out of the running, though unforgotten, are Porsche models like the 924, 944, or even 928. Motor racing cultivated the myth from 1951 until today. Decades later the names 904, 917, 962, and currently, the 919 Hybrid, are still legends.
The Porsche Book Vol. 2 presents the history of Porsche with elegant photos and insightful texts. Small nuggets and anecdotes—largely unheard of—occasionally shine through. A spellbinding read for those inspired by the joy of a Porsche.
This book was compiled in cooperation with the award-winning cars and culture magazine ramp, where a passion for cars meets devotion for the creation of a magazine. A mix of top international writers and journalists join forces and bring their expertise and perspectives on different genres of lifestyle in an entertaining, creative, savvy, and informative book. In association with ramp, teNeues also publishes Custom Bike Life and 99 Nicknamed Classic Cars.

Talk About Street Art
From the OBEY Giant posters to Banksy's stencils and from iconic bubble letter tags to mosaic space invaders, street art is omnipresent. Graffiti and street art have long been part of our visual culture, from their origins in ancestral caves to New York City's subway walls. This book covers all aspects of an art form that is often underappreciated, ephemeral, and illegal. The diverse media and techniques employed are ever-evolving, and include graffiti, stencils, tags and lettering, interventions, urban sculptures, collage, distortions, and even new multimedia. The artist's engagement and state of mind are important components of street art; the book covers topics such as anonymity, the art form's dangerous nature, codes of conduct, and ideological engagement, as well as the interface of street art with contemporary art, pop surrealism, toy art, and music and sport. Street art is found on every continent, and the book gives focus to each country and its own modes of expression and specificities. Portraits of 30 key artists, a glossary, and an address book of important venues around the world complete the book.
