The Musical Child
A pioneering music educator reveals how parents and caregivers can harness the power of music and use it to supercharge early childhood development.
Since opening her famed Parisian conservatory over three decades ago, Joan Koenig has led a global movement to improve children's lives and minds with the transformative power of music. With a curriculum and philosophy drawn from cutting-edge science, L'Ecole Koenig has educated and empowered even the youngest students.
From baby Max, whose coordination and communication grow as he wiggles and coos along to targeted songs and dance; to five-year-old Sara, who nourishes her empathy, creativity, and memory, while practising music from other cultures. In The Musical Child, Koenig shares stories from her classrooms, along with tips about how to use the latest research during these critical years, when children are most sensitive to musical exposure-and most receptive to its benefits.
A gift for parents, caregivers, musicians, and educators, The Musical Child reveals the multiple ways music can help children thrive-and how, in the 21st century, its practice is more vital than ever.
A World History of Women Photographers
A magnificently illustrated showcase of the work of 300 women photographers from all over the world, from the invention of the medium to the dawn of the 21st century.
As in many fields of art history, the work of women photographers has often been overlooked, and few of their names are now widely recognized. However, women were closely involved in all major photography movements of the 19th and 20th centuries, and have used the camera as an extraordinary tool for emancipation and experimentation. These are artists who never stopped documenting, questioning and transforming the world, breaking down social boundaries, challenging gender roles and expressing their imagination and sexuality.
To capture the diversity of this global body of work, Luce Lebart and Marie Robert have invited 160 international women writers to contribute to this volume, which is a bold and beautifully illustrated manifesto as well as an invaluable work of reference.

Multimedialita kaligrafických inspirací ve světovém kontextu a českém umění po roce 1945
Knižní studie se věnuje tématu kaligrafických inspirací v kontextu světových a českých dějin umění. Inspirace v oblasti čínské nebo japonské kaligrafie totiž výraznou měrou přispěly k rozvoji mezioborových přístupů, zejména v souvislosti s hledáním společných východisek malířské a básnické tvorby, ale také v prolínání výtvarného umění s hudební, taneční nebo filmovou oblastí. Kniha se věnuje charakteristice dvou jednotících prvků kaligrafie – motivu kruhu a spirály. Zkoumá především to, jak umění vyjadřuje ontologický význam tělesnosti a cirkularity těla prostřednictvím uvolnění malířského gesta, rozvíjení performativních projevů a fyzického propojení umělce s dílem. Další důležitou problematikou je periodické obnovování historického času, které se ukazuje být zásadní pro moderní i současné umělecké uvažování. Kruh jako symbol začátku – výchozí bod filozofického myšlení nebo vzniku uměleckého díla – v sobě zároveň obsahuje návaznost, cyklické opakování uměleckého, historického či sociopolitického kontextu.
Marta Chabadová - monografia
Monografia predstavuje podoby tvorby výraznej slovenskej umelkyne, akademickej maliarky Marty Chabadovej. Počnúc obdobím po absolvovaní VŠVU v Bratislave (1976), v ateliéri Krajinárskeho a figurálneho maliarstva
profesora Jána Želibského, končiac aktuálnymi polohami súčasnosti. Ponúka zjednocujúci a zároveň plastický pohľad naprieč desaťročiami so zameraním na faktory formujúce rukopis, obsahové a štýlotvorné prvky komornej tvorby ako aj diel do verejného priestoru. V prvom rade maliarskej a primerane šírke záberu i textilnej a keramickej tvorby.
Maliarka svoj tvorivý program, zameraný predovšetkým na krajinomaľbu a v menšej miere i figurálnu tvorbu, rozvíjala v názorovo charakteristicky vyhranenom prístupe a estetickom cítení. Prirodzene a pozvoľne, najčastejšie inšpirovaná svojím bezprostredným, rodinným okolím, prírodným prostredím, procesom tvorby a možnosťami vyplývajúcimi z povahy diela. Po celý čas si tak udržala autentickú, autorsky výraznú polohu a i napriek dvom politickým režimom s rozdielnymi hodnotovými kritériami aj umelecký étos.
Každú novú fázu a fazetu svojej tvorivej dráhy predstavila na autorskej výstave, preto sú do monografie zapojené aj kurátorské texty k jednotlivým výstavným prezentáciám. Pohľady rôznych výtvarných teoretikov prispievajú k objektívnemu a súčasne dobovo aktuálnemu vnímaniu tvorby Marty Chabadovej. Avšak kostru publikácie organicky tvorí obsiahla fotografická dokumentácia, vizuálne približujúca jednotlivé, v texte či kontexte spomínané diela a informácie zo života, ktoré sa s jej profesionálnym zaujatím prirodzene prelínajú...

Pavel Šešulka - Fotografie
Fotografické dílo Pavla Šešulky (*1945) vznikalo pouhé jedno desetiletí – v osmdesátých letech minulého století. Fotografii se sice věnoval dočasně, avšak s velkým nasazením, které je pro něj typické. S podobnou vášní byl v mládí profesionálním zpěvákem populárních písní, později rybářem, akvaristou, amatérským malířem a řezbářem. Publikace podává svědectví o jeho fotografické tvorbě, kterou v úvodní eseji Petr Klimpl zasazuje jak do životního rámce autora, tak do dobového kontextu fotografie.
Vedle začátečnických prací Pavla Šešulky přináší kniha ukázky z cyklu Lidé z města (před r. 1986), městské momentky, které se svým pojetím vymykají obvyklému frontálnímu snímání a vyjadřují osamělost městského člověka mezi jinými lidmi. Silně expresivní soubor z prostředí diagnostického ústavu mládeže s názvem Pasťák (před r. 1987) působivě dokládá dobovou iluzi komunistického režimu o výchově, resp. „převýchově“. Vrchol Šešulkovy fotografické tvorby tvoří soubor Zátiší (před r. 1990). Tento žánr, bohatě rozvinutý v klasické malbě, tradičně symbolizuje marnost, pomíjivost – vanitas, a v české fotografii je silně zastoupen v dílech Josefa Sudka a Jana Svobody. Pavel Šešulka ve svém skromném ateliéru sestavoval z běžně dostupných materiálů kompozice se symbolickými obsahy, které fotografoval, a vytvářel tak experimentální obrazy přesahující realistické zobrazování směrem k fantazijním světům.
V osmdesátých letech minulého století byly fotografie Pavla Šešulky opakovaně vysoce hodnoceny na dobových přehlídkách amatérské fotografie a publikovány ve fotografických časopisech. Jsou uloženy ve sbírce Moravské galerie v Brně a ve sbírce Svazu českých fotografů v Praze.

Lyrics
Bryan Ferry's work as a singer and songwriter, both as a solo artist and with Roxy Music, is legendary.
Lyrics collects the words written for music across seventeen albums, from the first iconic Roxy album of 1972 via the masterpiece of Avalon to 2014's reflective Avonmore, introduced by the author, and with an insightful essay by James Truman.
All the classic Roxy anthems are here - 'Virginia Plain', 'Do the Strand', 'Love is the Drug' - songs in which the real and the make-believe blend in a kaleidoscopic mix, shot through with cinematic allure.
Also included are the evocative lyrics of romantic longing and lost illusions for which Ferry is rightly revered: 'Slave to Love', 'Mother of Pearl', 'More Than This'. As he writes in his preface, 'The low points in life so often produce the most keenly felt and best-loved songs.' And, it might be added, some of the best poetry.
Discover this unforgettable collection of Bryan Ferry's work today.

Nomad at Home
Nomad at Home dissects the desire to wander the globe from the point of view of the design-led traveler, those for whom “it is a better thing to travel hopefully than to arrive.”
“There are few countries I have visited without consulting the local real estate agent’s window or poring over the free property magazine. Whether in Puglia or Provence, I am already imagining my new life there; the basket I’ll carry to market, the dress I’ll change into for an apéro, the flea market at which I will buy my furniture, the secret cove where I’ll swim.”
In Nomad at Home, compulsive wanderer Hilary Robertson showcases 10 unique locations and tells the stories of different nomadic tribes: the Adopters, who have left home forever and made a life elsewhere, as well as the Escapists, always on the move, with a base in two, three, or maybe even four locations. Then there are the Serial Wanderers, who simply absorb the DNA of any given destination and bring it all back home; creating Provence in Pittsburgh with ingredients gathered on their travels. There are more ways than one of satisfying a wandering eye. As well as offering inspiration from homes all over the globe, Nomad at Home also contains champion shopper Hilary's nomadic sourcebook, which allows readers to hit the ground shopping in destinations all over the world, with an address book for every country covered, every story told.

The Monocle Book of Photography
The best photo assignments from the Monocle archive, published to mark the magazine's fifteenth anniversary.
Back in 2007 the first issues of Monocle magazine hit newsstands and kiosks around the globe. At its core was a pledge to commission all original photography - capturing the world on film, on the ground and in the moment. The cover of that first issue featured a Japanese helicopter pilot from the country's defence force - taken as part of a 10-day reportage assignment for both photographer and writer. In the years since, Monocle has continued in its pursuit of documenting the world through its unique lens - from embassies and residences to world leaders and cultural stars. Each issue has featured a dedicated photographic Expo section celebrating lesser-known locales, obscure events and curious characters through truly outstanding photography. Alpine wrestlers, Syrian outposts, French legionnaires, noodle-makers, game show hosts and private member's clubs have all graced the pages.
The Monocle Book of Photography draws on the best of these photographic stories from an archive a decade and a half in the making. A handsome linen bound edition with the highest quality gloss paper and printing, the book also features supporting text about the photo assignments and the stories behind them, including first hand accounts from the photographers involved.
