Ciccì Coccò
$21.95
(available to order)
Summary:
Ciccì Coccò is one of the first and rare books for children where photography is used. It may be because of this that Munari was so happy to write the captions and rhymes to go with these poignant pictures taken by Enzo Arnone between the 1970’s and 80’s.

Summary:
Here, published for the first time, is one of photography's unknown masterworks: a Viennese lawyer and photographer [Dr. Emil Mayer] whose prints were largely destroyed by the Gestapo after his death. This extraordinary collection establishes Mayer as a master of photography, one of the first in a line of street photographers that includes André Kertész and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Mayer's photographs, taken during the last years of the horse and carriage, offer us a rare and intimate vision of a bygone age. The result is a book that is lyrical, moving, and exquisitely beautiful.

Summary:
This publication explores the ways in which the development of the built environment has contributed to health and well-being problems and how the physical design of the places we live in may support, or constrain, healthy lifestyle choices. It sets out how understanding these relationships more fully may lead to policy and practice that reduces health inequalities, increases well-being and allows people to live more flourishing, fulfilling lives. It examines the consequences of ‘car orientated’ design, the ‘toxic’ High Street, and poor quality, cramped housing; and the importance of nature in cities, and of initiatives such as community gardening, healthy food programmes and Park Run. It questions whether Heritage is always conducive to well-being and offers lessons from holistic and innovative programmes from the UK, North America and Australia which have successfully improved community and individual health and well-being.
