Summary:
"The World: Who Wants It?" proposes a concrete plan, albeit satirical, for re-establishing world peace. Set in the near present, the $100 billion that has been pledged by the United States to address the world's wrongs is used to advocate consumptive restraint and to seek new American Values, thus lessening the fury of the Third World against America's apparent wastage,(...)

Summary:
"The World: Who Wants It?" proposes a concrete plan, albeit satirical, for re-establishing world peace. Set in the near present, the $100 billion that has been pledged by the United States to address the world's wrongs is used to advocate consumptive restraint and to seek new American Values, thus lessening the fury of the Third World against America's apparent wastage, misuse of resources, vice, and militaristic bombast. In this vision of a new world order, International policy largely focuses on the rebuilding of the city of Jerusalem so as to accommodate all the hope and aspirations of the three Abrahamic faiths, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. The starting point for Ben Nicholson's restructuring of the world is that what was remarkable about the World Trade Center is that its given name purported to suggest that the building was the center of world trade. When the towers were removed they took along with them a myriad of links and responsibilities that course throughout the globe, touching every aspect of life. It is ultimately immaterial what the shape and size of the rebuilt World Trade Center will be, unless the whole world is simultaneously rethought and restructured along with the reconstruction. What would the new world order be?

Summary:
SPOON is a comprehensive view of new product design, presenting the work of 100 international designers who have emerged on an international platform in the last five years, selected by 10 critics, designers and entrepreneurs who are highly respected for their informed opinion on the international contemporary design scene. It provides a unique opportunity to see a diverse collection of recent design projects that includes a whole range of objects: furniture, lighting, tools, utensils, high-tech products, machinery and so on. The designers are listed in alphabetical order featuring two double-page spreads for each, with recent, exemplary products accompanied with sketches, drawings, computer renderings, model and prototypes that help to explain, together with the extensive captions, the process behind each project. A short explanatory text by the curator explains the designers’ work and the characteristics that make his/her projects forward-looking and ground breaking. SPOON also features, at the end of the book, 10 ‘classic’, industrially manufactured product designs, chosen by the curators as best examples of the concept of ‘good design’. These ‘classics’ are accompanied by text written by the curators that explains their choice of designers and generally what they see to be the concept of ‘good design’. SPOON takes its place in a series of surveys identifying 100 of the most interesting, cutting-edge practitioners of key art forms. Earlier surveys include cream and Fresh Cream, for contemporary art, 10x10 for architecture and BLINK for photography.

Summary:
Between 1936 and 1941 Walker Evans and James Agee collaborated on one of the most provocative books in American literature, "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men" (1941). While at work on this book, the two also conceived another less well-known but equally important book project entitled "Many Are Called". This three-year photographic study of subway passengers made with a hidden camera was first published in 1966, with an introduction written by Agee in 1940. Long out of print, "Many Are Called" is now being reissued with a new foreword and afterword and with exquisitely reproduced images from newly prepared digital scans. "Many Are Called" came to fruition at a slow pace. In 1938, Walker Evans began surreptitiously photographing people on the New York City subway. With his camera hidden in his coat--the lens peeking through a buttonhole--he captured the faces of riders hurtling through the dark tunnels, wrapped in their own private thoughts. By 1940-41, Evans had made over six hundred photographs and had begun to edit the series. The book remained unpublished until 1966 when The Museum of Modern Art mounted an exhibition of Evans’s subway portraits. This beautiful new edition--published in the centenary year of the NYC subway--is an essential book for all admirers of Evans’s unparalleled photographs, Agee’s elegant prose, and the great City of New York. Designed by Katy Homans with an introduction by Luc Santé.

Though people generally do not think of them in such terms, crows are remarkably graceful: from the tip of a crow’s beak to the end of its tail is a single curve, which changes rhythmically as the crow turns its head or bends toward the ground.

Summary:
Though people generally do not think of them in such terms, crows are remarkably graceful: from the tip of a crow’s beak to the end of its tail is a single curve, which changes rhythmically as the crow turns its head or bends toward the ground. Foraging on their long, powerful legs, crows appear to glide over the earth; they take flight almost without effort, flapping their wings easily, ascending into the air like spirits. Nevertheless, the whiskers around their beaks and an apparent smile make crows, in a scruffy sort of way, endearingly ‘human’. In a vast range of cultures from the Chinese to the Hopi Indians, crows are bearers of prophecy. Because of their courtship dances and monogamous unions, the Greeks invoked crows at weddings as symbols of conjugal love. Crows are among the most ubiquitous of birds, yet, without being in the least exotic, they remain mysterious. This book is a survey of crows, ravens, magpies and their relatives in myth, literature and life. It ranges from the raven sent out by Noah to the corvid deities of the Eskimo, to Taoist legends, Victorian novels and contemporary films. It will be of interest to all people who have ever been intrigued, puzzled, annoyed or charmed by these wonderfully intelligent birds.

Summary:
The cockroach could not have scuttled along, almost unchanged, for two hundred and fifty million years – some two hundred and forty-nine before man evolved – unless it was doing something right. It would be fascinating as well as instructive to have access to the cockroach’s own record of its life on earth, to know its point of view on evolution and species domination(...)

Summary:
The cockroach could not have scuttled along, almost unchanged, for two hundred and fifty million years – some two hundred and forty-nine before man evolved – unless it was doing something right. It would be fascinating as well as instructive to have access to the cockroach’s own record of its life on earth, to know its point of view on evolution and species domination over the millennia. Such chronicles would perhaps radically alter our perceptions of the dinosaur’s span and importance – and that of our own development and significance. We might learn that throughout all these aeons, the dominant life form has been, if not the cockroach itself, then certainly the insect. Attempts to chronicle the cockroach’s intellectual and emotional life have been made only within the last century when a scientist titled his essay on the cockroach ‘The Intellectual and Emotional World of the Cockroach’, and artists as radically different as Franz Kafka and Don Marquis created equally memorable cockroach protagonists. At least since Classical Greece, authors have brought cockroach characters into the foreground to speak for the weak and downtrodden, the outsiders, those forced to survive on the underside of dominant human cultures. Cockroaches have become the subjects of songs (La Cucaracha), have competed in ‘roachraces’ and have even ended up in recipes. In this accessible, sympathetic and often humorous book, Marion Copeland examines the natural history, symbolism and cultural significance of this poorly understood and much-maligned insect.
