Magnum China
Many of Magnum's most renowned photographers - beginning with Robert Capa and Henri Cartier-Bresson on assignment in the 1930s - have been captivated by China. They've returned time and again, their fascination growing in line with China's burgeoning accessibility and international influence. - both an outstanding photobook and a fascinating social history - illustrates the agency's evolving relationship with this increasingly influential nation to give a visually rich, informed photographic account of the country, its people and the changes witnessed over the last nine decades.
Chronologically organized to present key periods in the development of the modern state and its associated territories, Magnum China presents in-depth portfolios by individual photographers, accompanied by introductory commentaries on the featured projects and group selections illustrating the diversity of Magnum's interaction with the region. Supplemented with introductory essays by Jonathan Fenby, historical timelines, lists of photographers' travels and a fold-out map of China, Magnum China offers detailed and perceptive socio-political, geographical and historical context to complement the outstanding photography of some of the world's finest photographers.
YEAR OF WONDER: Classical Music for Every Day
'A magnificent treasury . . . a fascinating tour de force.' Observer
'Year of Wonder is an absolute treat - the most enlightening way to be guided through the year.' Eddie Redmayne
Classical music for everyone - an inspirational piece of music for every day of the year, celebrating composers from the medieval era to the present day, written by award-winning violinist and BBC Radio 3 presenter Clemency Burton-Hill.
Have you ever heard a piece of music so beautiful it stops you in your tracks? Or wanted to discover more about classical music but had no idea where to begin?
Year of Wonder is a unique celebration of classical music by an author who wants to share its diverse wonders with others and to encourage a love for this genre in all readers, whether complete novices or lifetime enthusiasts.
Clemency chooses one piece of music for each day of the year, with a short explanation about the composer to put it into context, and brings the music alive in a modern and playful way, while also extolling the positive mindfulness element of giving yourself some time every day to listen to something uplifting or beautiful. Thoughtfully curated and expertly researched, this is a book of classical music to keep you company: whoever you are, wherever you're from.
'The only requirements for enjoying classical music are open ears and an open mind.'
Clemency Burton-Hill
Performance in Contemporary Art
In this important new survey, Catherine Wood proposes that performance is not a genre of art separate from object making but rather an attitude that has infiltrated the entire terrain of contemporary art. Examining in turn individual, social, and object-based approaches, Wood first examines the influential performance art of the 1960s to 1980s: the body art of the Viennese actionists, the raw performances of Yoko Ono and Chris Burden, and the experiments of the Japanese Gutai group, among others. She then explores how these sources have been revisited, reformed, or rejected by con- temporary artists in the 21st century. This impressive book includes international artists who fall outside the traditional European and North American focus, giving the reader the broadest and most up-to-date insight into the subject yet published.
William Coupon: Portraits
This long overdue monograph presents a panorama of portraits from the photographer William Coupon. Coupon was given wide access to artists, musicians, politicians, authors, and the world's indigenous people on assignment from major publications like Time , Rolling Stone , The New York Times , Esquire , and The Washington Post . He photographed his subjects against a mottled backdrop of hand-painted Belgian linen, often in a classically lit medium shot format, inspired by Dutch masters such as Rembrandt and Holbein.
Coupon has remained true to this method, whether working in the Oval Office in Washington D. C. or a tribal hut amongst the Pygmy in the Central African Republic, or the Caraja in the Brazilian Amazon.
Environmental images compliment the more formal portraits. Portraits includes iconic images of Mick Jagger, Miles Davis, Elie Wiesel, David Byrne, Presidents Nixon, Carter, Bush, Trump, George Steinbrenner, Jean Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, and Prince Philip among many others from Haiti, Panama, Holland, Northern Scandinavia, Australia, Malaysia, Turkey, Italy, Peru, Mexico and other places. Coupon has created a collection that documents his times but also captured his generation in all its vibrancy.
In his work, he seeks to present a truly egalitarian portrait of humanity integrating common people with the wealthy, powerful, and famous.

Maison Parisian Chic at Home
A duo of high-profile tastemakers invite readers inside fifteen homes that are infused with the blend of vintage and contemporary style that is the essence of Parisian chic.

Natural materials--wood, wicker, bamboo, cotton, and linen--create warmth and personality. Vintage suitcases, vegetable crates, and jewel-toned pharmaceutical jars transform into charming storage containers. Embroidered cushions, terrariums, and fresh flowers enliven a room with pops of color. Collages, original art, or humble objects displayed in a series add a signature style to each residence. The authors take readers inside fifteen Parisian apartments--including their own--that demonstrate how to imbue a home with a sense of well-being through a mix of vintage and contemporary styles. Each owner is passionate about home decor--whether in a studio, loft, or duplex--and they continually evolve their interior with new treasures uncovered in flea markets, on their travels, at design fairs, or in artisanal workshops.

Jiří Černý... na bílém 5
Jiří Černý... na bílém je autorizované souborné vydání hudební publicistiky Jiřího Černého (* 1936). Jeho šedesátiletá novinářská praxe a půl století soustavného psaní o hudbě budí již léta zasloužený obdiv a respekt. Jiří Černý byl mnohdy přímým účastníkem toho, co podstatně měnilo tvář naší hudební scény, a tak jeho recenze, rozhovory a komentáře cenným způsobem přispívají ke zmapování naší i zahraniční populární hudby v druhé polovině 20. století. Předkládaný obsáhlý knižní projekt nakladatelství Galén je hudební encyklopedií sui generis; a protože Jiří Černý umí o hudbě psát zajímavě, nadčasově, plasticky a věcně správně, stane se tento knižní soubor jistě navíc i neocenitelným zdrojem informací pro všechny, kteří něco píší, překládají nebo se jen chtějí o hudbě dozvědět.
Pátý svazek shrnuje Černého práce z let 1995-1999. Jeho zásadní část tvoří články pro měsíčník Folk & Country: dva dvouleté seriály Albové milníky českého folku (1995, 1996), Výročí psaná... (1997, 1998) a pro rok 1999 seriál nekrologů Uzavřené kapitoly. Součástí tohoto svazku jsou i komentáře pro Mladou frontu DNES, Lidové noviny, Rock & Pop, Divadelní noviny, Svět a divadlo a rovněž všechny dochované komentáře Načerno, psané pro Český rozhlas, byť se v řadě případů netýkají primárně hudby, ale podávají výstižný obraz o dobových tématech, které Jiří Černý považoval za vhodné komentovat.

Adieu Audrey
Sie wird heute, 25 Jahre nach ihrem Tod, noch genauso geliebt und verehrt wie zu Lebzeiten. Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993), die Sabrina, Holly Golightly und Fair Lady der Filmgeschichte, ist im kollektiven Gedächtnis längst unsterblich geworden. Das beweist auch unsere Sammlung der schönsten Film Stills, Portraits und Privatphotos, die wir 1993 zum Abschied, als Hommage und Erinnerung an Hollywoods liebenswertesten Star herausbrachten. Die Triumphe, die sie dort in den 50er und 60er Jahren feierte, waren umso erstaunlicher, als Audrey Hepburn keineswegs den damals gängigen Klischees entsprach. Zierlich, fast androgyn und von entwaffnender Natürlichkeit bestimmte sie eine Zeitlang sogar Mode- und Schönheitsideale weltweit: ihre Pillbox-Hüte und französischen Schneiderkostüme, der burschikose Kurzhaarschnitt und die flachen Schuhe wurden zu ihrer Zeit und seitdem immer wieder millionenfach kopiert. Hollywoods schärfste Zunge Billy Wilder spottete, sie werde wohl selbst den Busen noch aus der Mode bringen. Adieu Audrey mit rund 90 Bildern von den Anfängen ihrer Karriere in den frühen 40er Jahren bis zu ihrem letzten Portrait vom September 1992 erfreut sich nach wie vor unverminderter Beliebtheit.
