The Eames Houses


The first comprehensive overview of Charles and Ray Eames’s residential architecture The Eames Houses is the first comprehensive overview of Charles and Ray Eames’s residential architecture. It includes several previously unpublished buildings and places the powerhouse couple’s architectural work alongside their widely known designs in furniture, exhibitions, and film, showing how they carried consistent design principles across different disciplines. Charles (1907-1978) and Ray (1912-1988) Eames’s residential architecture is defined by their human-centered approach to modernism. Their work demonstrates a deep commitment to structural clarity, user-centered functionality, and the intelligent use of prefabrication. Rather than focusing purely on aesthetics, the Eameses approached architecture as a form of problem-solving, aiming to create flexible systems that offered a background for life and work in all its expressions. This book presents all eight houses they designed between 1945 and 1955, featuring sketches, drawings, letters, and photographs – many of which have never been published before – alongside newly produced diagrams and models that offer further insight into their design process. The book is organized into six chapters, one of which is entirely dedicated to Case Study House No. 8 with newly commissioned photography, together with a wealth of materials from the archives of the Eames Office – many of which are published here for the first time. The book further contextualizes the couple's thinking about domestic living in related fields such as furniture, toy, textile, and graphic design, anchoring the house projects within their work at large. The book accompanies an exhibition in Milan in April 2026 that is planned to travel internationally.

Inside Red Bull Racing


2000 workers, 24 races, two drivers, one target. In 2025, critically acclaimed writer Matt Majendie spent a season behind the scenes with Formula One team Red Bull Racing during one of the most controversial and dramatic years in the history of the sport. No journalist has been given the level of access that Majendie enjoyed as he found himself walking the secretive corridors of the hi-tech team factory in the UK; trackside at race after race; inside the garage, on the driver's luxury yachts, and even racing the streets of Monaco with Max Verstappen, the greatest driver of this, and perhaps any, era, as he chases history. Join Majendie on the pit wall as Christian Horner's dominant reign as team supremo finally runs its course, as drivers come and go - youngster Liam Lawson brutally axed after just two races - and Verstappen wrestles with the limitations of a car that refuses to be tamed, fighting with rivals like Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, taking the season down to its final minutes. From mechanics to engineers, race strategists to team leaders, head honchos to the thousands who ensure the machine turns, this is F1 racing as you've never seen it.

Steve Jobs in Exile


'I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter into one of the most creative periods of my life.'Steve JobsSteve Jobs in Exile tells the largely unexplored story of the dozen years Steve Jobs spent building NeXt in the aftermath of his firing from Apple, the company he founded, in 1985. This period would see Jobs at his most creative, vulnerable and intense. It would redefine him as a designer and a leader, ultimately leading to the later resurgence and dominance of Apple following his triumphant return. Yet this crucial period remains woefully under-covered. Award-winning writer Geoffrey Cain changes that. Utilising a trove of new material, including dozens of hours of unbroadcast footage of Jobs at NeXT's meetings and retreats, new interviews and unpublished oral histories with Jobs and his colleagues, new first-hand material and countless internal documents, Steve Jobs in Exile is the definitive history of the most remarkable period in the life of Steve Jobs.

Hostage


THE TELEGRAPH, BLOOMBERG AND TIME 'BOOK OF THE YEAR''A taut, immersive chronicle of endurance' Time Magazine'One of the most compelling and unflinching books you will ever read' Daily TelegraphOn 7 October, 2023, Hamas terrorists stormed Kibbutz Be’eri, shattering the peaceful life Eli Sharabi had built with his British wife, Lianne, and their teenage daughters, Noiya and Yahel. Dragged barefoot out of his front door while his family watched in horror, Sharabi was plunged deep into the suffocating darkness of Gaza’s tunnels. As war raged above him, he endured a gruelling 491 days in captivity - all the while holding onto the hope that he would one day be reunited with his loved ones. In the first memoir by a released Israeli hostage, and the fastest-selling book in Israel’s history, Sharabi offers a searing firsthand account of survival under unimaginable conditions - starvation, isolation, physical beatings, and psychological abuse at the hands of his captors. Eli Sharabi’s story is one of hunger and heartache, of physical pain, longing, loneliness and a helplessness that threatens to destroy the soul. But it is also a story of strength, of resilience, and of the human spirit’s refusal to surrender. It is about the camaraderie forged in captivity, the quiet power of faith, and one man’s unrelenting decision to choose life, time and time again. Reminiscent of Elie Wiesel’s Night, Hostage is a profound witness to history, so that it shall be neither forgotten nor erased.
