Designing Your Life


Change your life in 2025 with the simple, scientifically proven method that has already worked for thousands of people. At last, a book that shows you how to build - design - a life you can thrive in, at any age or stage. A well-designed life means a life well-lived. Many of us are still looking for an answer to that perennial question, 'What do I want to be when I grow up?' Stanford innovators Bill Burnett and Dave Evans show us how design thinking can help us create a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling, regardless of who and where we are, our careers and our age. Designing Your Life puts forward the idea that the same design thinking responsible for amazing technology, products and spaces can be used to build towards a better life and career by a design of your own making.

Viem zastaviť čas


Fotograf Juraj Bartoš svojským spôsobom dokumentuje život ľudí a mesta už vyše 50 rokov. Nemá problém prísť na preplnené Zlaté piesky a fotografovať slniacich sa ľudí v plavkách či zachytiť momenty, keď sa náhodní okoloidúci smejú, plačú alebo sa napchávajú žemľou. Koncept knihy je úchvatným vizuálnym dokumentom obdobia 80. a 90. rokov s trefnými komentármi samotného autora. Jeho fotografie sa stali jedinečným svedectvom doby. V objektíve Juraja Bartoša boli a dodnes sú najmä ľudia: Zaujímal ma život, ako sa ľudia prejavujú, ako sa k sebe správajú, akú majú atmosféru v tvári. Juraj Bartoš niekedy s vážnou tvárou, inokedy s humorom odhaľuje pozadie vzniku každej jednej fotografie. Úvod knihy patrí úprimnej spovedi fotografa, ktorý otvorene rozpráva o svojom živote počas socializmu i v súčasnosti. V knihe sa predstavia najvýznamnejšie témy z Bartošovej tvorby, ako sú Prvomájové veselice, Zlaté piesky, Móda ulice, Politické nápisy a heslá, Obchodná ulica, ale aj Orava či fotografie z jeho ciest na západ do Ameriky, Talianska, Francúzska a Škandinávie.

Nomadic Homes


Nomadic homes come in all shapes and sizes. They are for the wealthy and the poor, the trendy and the out-of-luck. Changing one’s place of residence is an endeavor that is as old as humanity, for reasons of season, or, more recently, to better occupy leisure time. Written and edited by Philip Jodidio, this volume with illustrations by Russ Gray contains some of the most remarkable examples of homes on the move. Starting with totally revamped Airstream mobile homes, and going on to spectacular moveable vacation houses of the Epic Retreats “pop-up boutique hotel” in Wales, this book doesn’t stop moving, surveying the best in campers and tents, and going on to extravagant marine dwellings like BIG’s Urban Rigger, or the Manta Underwater Room in Zanzibar. At the other end of the spectrum, we find refugee housing for those forced into a life on the move, including shelters designed by the Pritzker Prize–winning architect Shigeru Ban. What we discover throughout is that the nomadic spirit of our hunter-gatherer ancestors is very much alive in the modern world. Where architecture has often sought stability and thus the lack of movement, modernity has brought a sense of the finite, and a good deal of modesty about posterity and longevity. What more contemporary thought could there be than to seek nothing so much as to move, to grow perhaps, but always to move. “A good traveler,” said the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu “has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” As this book ably shows, it is the journey that counts.

Lindbergh, Shadows on the Wall


“What is merely beautiful has always bored me. I’m interested in what is powerful and real.” —Peter Lindbergh With such credits as shooting the first American Vogue cover under Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, bringing together for the first time a group of young women who would become the ’90s supermodels, and numerous solo exhibitions at world-renowned institutions including the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, and the Gagosian in London, Peter Lindbergh is a master of his craft who has made his mark in the halls of photography history. The industry quickly became enamored with his almost anti-fashion photography, capturing the zeitgeist and the spirit of his subjects rather than pursuing today’s search for perfection, which he considers inhuman. Handpicked from 37,000 unreleased photos from his groundbreaking 2017 Pirelli calendar shoot, Lindbergh offers an intimate insight into a pool of extraordinary talent: Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Charlotte Rampling,Dame Helen Mirren, Jessica Chastain, Kate Winslet, Léa Seydoux, Lupita Nyong’o, Penélope Cruz, Robin Wright, Rooney Mara, Uma Thurman, and Zhang Ziyi. His message is simple. These intimate images represent a different kind of beauty, far away from society’s obsession with youth and perfection; one which is concerned with individuality, the courage to be yourself, and your very own sensibility.

Avedon, Baldwin Nothing Personal


Richard Avedon's State of the Union Avedon and Baldwin's seminal book brought back to life In 1964, Richard Avedon, at the time the world's most famous fashion photographer, and James Baldwin, America's best-known black writer collaborated on a searing portrait book Nothing Personal. This controversal classic from the Mad Men era explores the contradictions and extremities at the heart of the American experience, and is especially timely in the age of Donald Trump. Avedon's subjects range from intellectuals, politicians, former slaves, newlyweds, society ladies, artists, and civil rights activists, shot in his signature formal and graphic black and white, often tightly cropped. The collection is all the more poignant through its direct juxtaposition of specific images, such as the Jewish and gay intellectual Allen Ginsberg placed opposite the American Nazi Party. Avedon's work with mental asylum patients, shot in a grainy documentary style, is equally harrowing, although he chooses to end Nothing Personal on a hopeful, positive note, with photographs of children and parents bonding together in the Californian ocean. The photographs are complemented by four untitled essays by Baldwin, a stream of consciousness and critique of a society that he feels is unjust, alienating, divisive, and therefore in the midst of an existential crisis. In a highly personal and pertinent testimony, Baldwin openly writes about his own experience of harassment by a racist policeman on the streets of New York. Designed by Marvin Israel, Nothing Personal is also an art-directed triumph. An "oversized" book in its own white slipcase, the minimal and striking placement of images and text alike revolutionized the packaging of photography books. This is a meticulous reprint of the original, which has long been out of print, produced in close collaboration with the Richard Avedon Foundation. A 72-page accompanying booklet features never before seen outtakes, portraits of Avedon at work, correspondence, ephemera, and an essay by Balwin expert and Pulitzer Prize winner Hilton Als. Als traces the making of Nothing Personal and documents the personal and creative relationship between Avedon and Baldwin, who were high school friends in the 1940s. Nothing Personal's dark, disturbing vision of America has inevitably divided critics, and Avedon in particular endured some harsh criticism. Some felt that a fashion photographer had no place in dabbling in social commentary, while others found his book to be an elitist statement by New York liberals, unrepresentative of the true feelings of "real" Americans. Sound familiar?

George Lucas - Galaxisokon innen és túl


1977. május 25-én, mindössze harminckét amerikai filmszínházban bemutattak egy független science-fiction filmet, amely szűkös anyagi keretből, komoly nehézségek árán született. Egy jóformán névtelen rendező álmodta meg, vetette papírra és forgatta le, akit George Lucasnak hívtak. A Csillagok háborúja pillanatok alatt világszerte tömegeket vonzott, és megdöntött minden korábbi bevételi rekordot. Az űrmítosz generációkon átívelő népszerűsége azonban nem Lucas egyedüli filmtörténeti érdeme: neki köszönhetjük Indiana Jones ikonikus alakját, valamint hogy a filmipar forradalmasította a speciális effektusokat, a mozifilmek hangzásvilágát, és út nyílt egy újfajta forgalmazás irányába. A hírhedten zárkózott, öntörvényű és kontrollmániás rendező életrajzi kötete hol felemelő, hol provokatív magánéleti és szakmai eseményeken keresztül mutatja be, hogyan bontakozott ki ez a korszakalkotó karrier, és miként formálták Lucas jellemét olyan alkotó- és pályatársak, mint Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg vagy Harrison Ford. Halhatatlan hőseihez hasonlóan George Lucasnak a filmvilágra gyakorolt hatása a mai napig töretlen. Egyedülálló karrierje és az a bizonyos messzi-messzi galaxis most végre kézzel fogható közelségbe kerül.
