Spring in Japan
Presented in a luxurious two-volume slipcased set, this edition pairs timeless art with expert commentary in a format designed for reflection, appreciation, and beauty. The main volume showcases a selection of prints that capture Hanami (the appreciation of the fleeting wonder of spring): blossoming cherry trees, riverside picnics, moonlit gardens, and the quiet rituals of seasonal change. Highlights include Hiroshige’s Plum Garden at Kameido and Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom at Arashiyama, Hokusai’s Viewing Cherry Blossoms by the Sumida River, and Yoshitoshi’s elegant Yayoi from the series Flowers of the Twelve Months.
The works unfold in a striking accordion format, allowing readers to experience them as immersive, panoramic compositions. Alongside this visual journey, a separate booklet by Japan scholar Jocelyn Bouquillard provides insightful background on each image. Her commentary illuminates the symbolism, historical context, and enduring cultural meanings of spring in Japanese life and art, every page enriching the reader’s understanding with a deeper sense of connection.
Also featuring prints by artists such as Kyosai and Kunisada.
Spring in Japan is a tribute to the elegance and emotional resonance of Japanese printmaking.

A Kotányi Dinasztia
A Kotányi dinasztia különleges idő- és ízutazásra hív: Szegedről indulva Budapesten és Bécsen át New Yorkig, majd a Monarchia keleti piacaira – hogy a világháborúk vihara után végül Ausztriába és Magyarországra térjünk vissza. Attól kezdve, hogy Kotányi János a Monarchia hadseregének hivatalos paprika-, kávé-, teabeszállítója lett, a család és a vállalkozás generációkon át meghatározó szerepet játszott a fűszerek minőségének, alkalmazásának és kulturális jelentőségének alakulásában.
A gazdagon illusztrált, inspiráló kötet feltárja a fűszerek sokszínű és lenyűgöző világát: a paprika karakteres erejét, a bors és a zöldfűszerek meglepő sokszínűségét, a keleti fűszerek gazdag aromáit. A közel harminc, könnyen elkészíthető recept pedig megmutatja a fűszerek helyes használatát, és arra ösztönöz, hogy bátran kísérletezzünk új ízekkel.

Metadoggoz
A wise-cracking visual dystopian feast. Gael Kaldera is a self-styled 'junkyard dog' who runs with his crew the Metadoggoz: a squad of teenage dirtbags living in the techno-megalopolis, the Metastation. With no place to crash after losing his friend s guitar, he drops a tab of 'metadoggo' at a late night rave with his friends and everything goes sideways. Strobing lights, teeming dance floors and endless skyscrapers form an eerie, futuristic backdrop for this daring, imaginative exploration of race, class, and belonging through the lens of youth culture and science-fiction. In Metadoggoz, Franco-Vietnamese cartoonist Berenice Motais de Narbonne constructs an uncomfortably familiar dystopia in which Gael and his friends slip in and out of our 'real' world in search of something better. Each shepherded by a guiding spirit, they navigate the indignities of daily life: homelessness, mental illness, violence, and yearning. Translated by Eisner Award winner Montana Kane, Metadoggoz reinvents the cyberpunk fairy tale in the vein of Tank Girl, Blade Runner, and Love & Rockets.

Iran and the Revolution
A major new history of revolutionary Iran, from the 1940s to the present
Iran's revolution in 1979 shook the world. The Pahlavi dynasty came crashing down, and the Islamic Republic rose in its place. But what led to this seismic event? How did the revolutionary movement gain such strength? And what has its legacy been for modern Iran?
In this comprehensive history, Homa Katouzian explores Iran from the 1940s to the present, showing how the revolution came into being. From the chaos of oil nationalisation to the overthrow of Mosaddeq in 1953, through the revolutionary moment itself, to the resistance movements of contemporary Iran, the revolution has had long and lasting effects. We see the profound influence of US presidents and the ramifications of Saddam Hussein's invasion in 1980. Crucially, Katouzian shows how the revolution constituted an uprising of the whole of Iranian society and was not a purely Islamic movement.
This is an engaging account of an epochal event-one which continues to shape Iran to this day.
Okavango and the Source of Life
Follow intrepid explorer Steve Boyes as he leads the National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Project, documenting the little-known lakes and rivers flowing through central Africa to the vast Okavango, a region supporting the world’s largest elephant population as well as lions, cheetahs, and hundreds of bird species. For miles on end of twisting waterways and leech-filled swamps, Boyes and his fellow explorers pole their flatboats with only satellite imagery and hippo trails to guide them. Sometimes they must drag their boats through dense bush or mud-thick waters. An angry hippo threatens to overturn the caravan; swarms of bees dive-bomb explorers’ ears and eyelashes. In Angola, closed off by war for decades, the team tracks ghost elephants—a subspecies thought to have disappeared forever. By day they press on, by night they camp under the stars. Lions roar and hyenas howl in the distance. Locals become friends and fellow travelers—guardians of the rivers, sharing generational knowledge of these waters they call the “source of life.”With more than 100 photographs and maps, including a foreword by Prince Harry and portraits of local wisdom keepers, this beautiful book provides a glimpse of primeval wilderness still thriving on the planet—and the grit of explorers determined to preserve it.

In Bloom
Flowers and plants are a staple of British life. Nearly 40% of our population considers themselves to be gardeners, making this and associated activities a national pursuit. And yet, while we hold endless discussions over how to seed, grow, and disseminate our cherished plants, we still known relatively little about how they were collected, exchanged, circulated, identified, and modified, and how much art has shaped our understanding and appreciation of them. This publication, designed to accompany the homonymous exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum, explores some of these plant stories through highlights from Oxford’s collections. Bringing together historical and scientific expertise, art and material culture, traditional and contemporary artworks, this book ultimately reflects on the long-lasting impact of flora on our society – and of us on it.

The Opposites Game
AUTHOR OF FIVE POETRY COLLECTIONS • NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AUTHOR, Brendan Constantine presents his newest collection, The Opposites Game. A playful and profound meditation on language, binaries, and the radical act of seeing each other more clearly. In his fifth collection of verse, The Opposites Game, poet Brendan Constantine inspires us to revel in the abundance of life by reckoning its many astonishments (and antonyms). Through a simple yet profound framework of odes, lists, memoirs, and classroom assignments, Constantine asks us to think critically about how we define and understand each other, urging us to look beyond simplistic binaries and engage with the deeper nuances of meaning. The Opposites Game is a powerful reminder of the intricate relationship between words and the realities they represent, and an invitation to explore the rich, beautiful, and often perilous terrain of human thought and emotion.
