Cellarful of Noise
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY CRAIG BROWN, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ONE TWO THREE FOUR
Everybody knows the Beatles: John, Paul, George, Ringo ... and Brian.
The Fab Four's meteoric rise is one of the most famous rags-to-riches stories ever told. And behind it all was Brian Epstein, the 'fifth Beatle' and legendary manager, who transformed the group from a small-time club band into global superstars.
What was his secret? How did one man lead these scruffy Liverpool lads to change the world of popular music forever? A Cellarful of Noise is Brian Epstein's original 1964 memoir of a life spent making music history. It includes thirty contemporary photographs which offer a glimpse of Brian and the Beatles on their way to phenomenal success.
Eye-opening, moving and constantly entertaining, this is essential reading for every Beatles fan.
The Little Big Book of Legs
Over 150 of the best photos from the original volume are now in this compact book. From Betty Grable to Bettie Page, the greatest legs of the 20th Century are here, shot by Irving Klaw, Bunny Yeager and Elmer Batters.Silk stockings, high heels, curvy calves, taut thighs, playful toes – and no troublesome text – could leg love get any sweeter?
Legs, legs, and more legs for a song Many loved The Big Book of Legs but some found it just too darn big, weighing in at nearly seven pounds. True, it was packed with shapely legs spanning six decades, from the first shy emergence of the ankle in the 1910s, through the rolled stockings and rouged knees of the 1920s, to the Betty Grable ’40s, the stockinged and stilettoed ’50s, on into the sexually liberated ’60s and ’70s, but it could still put a dent in your own thighs if you sat reading for too long. Fortunately here at TASCHEN we listen to your groans of agony as well as your moans of ecstasy; thus, this light and portable new edition, packing over 100 of the choicest photos from the original volume, as well as 38 new photos, into a compact (and frankly adorable) package. From Betty Grable to Bettie Page, the greatest legs of the 20th Century can be found within, shot by Irving Klaw, Bunny Yeager, and the incomparable Elmer Batters, father of leg art. There are silk and nylon stockings, high heels in abundance, curvy calves, taut thighs, playful toes and towering arches—with no bothersome text to get in the way. Could leg love get any sweeter?

William Morris
William Morris's interests were wide-ranging: he was a poet, writer, political and social activist, conservationist and businessman, as well as a brilliant and original designer and manufacturer. This book explores the balance between Morris's various spheres of activity and influence, places his art in the context of its time and explores his ongoing and far-reaching legacy.
A pioneer of the Arts & Crafts Movement, William Morris (1834-1896) is one of the most influential designers of all time. Morris turned the tide of Victorian England against an increasingly industrialized manufacturing process towards a rediscovered respect for the skill of the maker. Morris's whole approach still resonates today, and his designs are popular and much admired.
Published to mark the 125th anniversary of Morris's death, this book includes contributions from a wide range of Morris experts, with chapters on painting, church decoration and stained glass, interior decoration, furniture, tiles and tableware, wallpaper, textiles, calligraphy and publishing. Additional materials include a contextualized chronology of Morris's life and a list of public collections around the world where examples of Morris's work may be seen today. This study is a comprehensive, fully illustrated exploration of a great thinker and artist, and essential reading for anyone interested in the history of design.

Roots and Wings : Peter Schreyer: Designer, Artist, and Visionary
Roots and Wings explores the life and work of Peter Schreyer, one of the most influential car designers of our time. A Renaissance man with an eye for detail and foresight for innovation, he geared himself toward success. Responsible for the births of some of the 20th-century's most iconic cars, his industry experience brought instant classics to the road. From humble beginnings in Germany's divided south to his new base in Seoul, Schreyer embodies a conduit between the west and east--bridging his homeland's history of automotive design with South Korea, a country that has experienced stratospheric growth on the world stage in just a few decades. Looking at the formative moments and pivotal artistic discoveries that shaped his creative mindset, Roots and Wings is the never-before-told story of how a man reimagined a car brand and left a mark on history in the process.
Adolf Loos
The must-have monograph on one of modern architecture's most influential figures, long a rarity and now available in an expanded and updated edition
Viennese architect Adolf Loos was influential among his fellow early modernists not only for his radical designs but for his controversial ideology and famously militant opposition to ornament. Loos approached architecture from a primarily utilitarian perspective: he believed that interiors should be designed according to function, taking full advantage of the size and space of a building.
In this definitive monograph, a true labor of love, architect Ralf Bock seeks to reveal the sensuality of Loos' interior designs, focusing on his sincere belief in the evolution of tradition. The book explores 30 existing projects from Loos' oeuvre, documented in 160 full-color images by the celebrated French photographer Phillippe Ruault. Along with materials from the Loos archive at the Albertina Museum Vienna, these photographs and Bock's commentary provide a new interpretation of Loos' work and encourage the reintroduction of his ideology into the contemporary architectural conversation. Profiles of Loos' original clients and interviews with people who currently inhabit his designs round out this unique publication.
Adolf Loos (1870-1933) was a radical figure in his time: his critique of the Vienna Secession and advocacy for utilitarian design greatly influenced the less ornamental approaches to architecture among subsequent modernist designers. He studied briefly at Dresden University of Technology and delivered his famous lecture "Ornament and Crime" at the Academic Association for Literature and Music in 1910. His most recognizable building is the multipurpose Looshaus at Michaelerplatz in Vienna, characterized by the numerous window boxes on the building's façade.
Martin Augustín: Zrkadlo duše
Výpravná, bohato ilustrovaná publikácia Zrkadlo duše mapuje vyše tri dekády výtvarnej tvorby a života slovenského výtvarníka Martina Augustína (nar. 1968). Ako sám umelec tvrdí, „hranica medzi životom a výtvarnou tvorbou neexistuje“. Aj preto kniha nie je koncipovaná ako tradičná akademická monografia, ale ako púť časom, počas ktorej sa zlomky poznania skladajú do obrazu estetiky krásy. Listovanie v nej chce navodiť atmosféru príjemných posedení pri rannej káve u Augustína, počas ktorých vznikali spomienky a úvahy, keď autor, kunsthistorik a publicista Ľudovít Petránsky s výtvarníkom hľadali dušu Augustínových obrazov a pátrali po všetkom, čo zanechalo odtlačok v umelcovej mysli, duši i srdci.
Monografia venovaná tvorbe Martina Augustína vznikla a vychádza po prvýkrát a okrem priaznivcov samotného umelca či súčasného slovenského umenia vôbec má ambíciu osloviť každého obdivovateľa krásy a harmónie.

Underwater photography
The spectacular wildlife and dynamic scenery of the world beneath the waves
In Italian photographer Vincenzo Paolillo's depictions of his underwater adventures, the world beneath the ocean's surface transforms into a fantastical dimension. Shoals of brightly colored fish crowd the frame of some photographs against the backdrop of neon-toned coral formations; in other images, the semitransparent bodies of jellyfish are magnified into ghostly, abstract shapes. This collection of photographs is divided into five sections that call attention to the stylistic focal points of Paolillo's work: Colors, Shapes, Places, Movement and Light. Under each heading the photography demonstrates both the diversity of wildlife that thrives under the waves and Paolillo's keen eye for the natural world's inherent artistic beauty. This hardcover volume is perfect for those interested in the magical qualities of underwater photography or the beautiful and often bizarre biomes that are less accessible to most humans.
Come Together: The Architecture of Multigenerational Living
Multiple generations of the same family living under one roof is not a new idea. But what is new is the way architects around the world are re-embracing this form of living, back by increasingly popular demand. While the 20th century experience emphasized a single-family home for the nuclear family and bachelor pads, we are now seeing more tiers of the family unit choosing to live together. Come Together explores the why, the what, the where and, perhaps most importantly, the how of the homes that succeed to be livable for all generational tiers - with designs that are not only architecturally stunning, but balancing private and communal spaces to come together.
Slavné vily českých prezidentů
Osobnosti českých, respektive československých prezidentů, počínaje Masarykem a konče Zemanem, jsou natolik odlišné, že se snad ani nechce věřit v nějaké příbuzné genetické kořeny. Jejich politické životopisy jsou dostatečně známy, méně se však literatura věnuje tomu, jací byli v soukromí, když se nemuseli stylizovat a neviděly je oči národa. S tím samozřejmě souvisí i místa KDE žili, jaké bylo jejich rodinné zázemí. Václav Junek si získal čtenáře už předchozí publikací Slavné vily slavných. Tato kniha na ni volně navazuje jen s tím rozdílem, že vniká do soukromí československých a českých prezidentů. Činí tak s autorovou schopností vyhmátnout ze soukromého života mužů, kteří tvořili naše dějiny, to podstatné. Čtivě tak představuje prezidenty a jejich rodiny ve chvílích, kdy se nemusejí stylizovat.
The Bee and the Sun
Catherine Hyde follows the journey of the bee and the sun in a calendar of glorious full colour paintings that celebrate the sensory delights of herbs, seasoned with bee and plant lore.From the rising and setting of the Pleiades, from sunrise to sunset, the bee and the sun work in harmony, a miracle of nature, growth and new life. Beneath the shifting constellations, equinoxes and solstice markers, as the bee progresses from plant to flower, acclaimed artist Catherine Hyde pays tribute to the magic and mystery of nature.
Snippets of ancient bee beliefs and plant folklore are complemented by paintings of wild thyme, saffron, meadow sweet, basil, mallow, lavender and many more delights. A book to treasure, and an ode to the wonder of nature.
'This is a treasure... Such a celebration of the wheel of the year' JACKIE MORRIS, CILIP Kate Greenaway winner of The Lost Words, on The Hare and the Moon

Velünk omló történelem
Hazánk ezer csodája mellett a kastélyromok földje. Ezerszám álltak hajdanán büszke kastélyok a történelmi Magyarországon, több száz került viharos történelmünk miatt végveszélybe, és legalább ennyi lett a földdel egyenlővé. Elpusztult és romos kastélyoknak állít emléket a könyv legalább száz egykori magyar nemesi rezidencia képével és több száz említésével a történelmi Magyarország területéről. Számba veszi a hajdani úri lakok építéstörténetét, és megismertet minket egykori tulajdonosaival.
A kastélyok pusztulása gyakran krimibe illő történet, amelynek pontos részleteit az idők során sem tisztázódtak. Mai napig nem tudjuk, hogyan és miért lobbant lángra, és égett porig az alcsúti, egykori Habsburg-kastély, a Pollack Mihály tervezte épület hazánk egyik legjelentősebb klasszicista magánépülete volt. A tragédia idején is találgatták, vajon ki gyújtotta fel a rédei Esterházy-kastély évszázados faszerkezetét, amelynek fazsindelyeit a barokk épület iránti tiszteletből féltő gonddal őrizte meg egykori tulajdonosa, gróf Esterházy Pál.
Women Artists and the Surrealist Movement
This pioneering book stands as the most comprehensive treatment of the lives, ideas and art works of the remarkable group of women who were an essential part of the Surrealist movement. Frida Kahlo, Meret Oppenheim and Dorothea Tanning, among many others, became an embodiment of their age as they struggled towards artistic maturity and their own 'liberation of the spirit' in the context of the Surrealist revolution. Their stories and their achievements are presented here against the background of the turbulent decades of the 1920s, 30s and 40s, and the war that forced Surrealism into exile in New York and Mexico.
