Objects in This Mirror presents a polemical defense of intellectual and cultural generalism and curiosity. The collection of essays rewardingly navigates diverse subjects ranging from the writings of W. G. Sebald and Roland Barthes to the history of manuals for tying a cravat and the search for a cure to the common cold. Staying true to the idea of the essay as a self-aware but generous literary and critical form, this book explores the variety of topics within the rubric of art writing or criticism.

Résumé:
''AV Proyectos 129'' explores the architectural potential of colour at different scales, and three exhibitions in Madrid – reviewed by Luis Fernández-Galiano – serve as the introductory frame for a series of projects that are examples of this versatility: the detailed domestic intervention of Beatriz Ramo and Bernd Upmeyer, the unique housing by TEST, Wiki World, and selgascano, and the large-scale works by Padilla Nicás and BIG. Along this line, the architect and interior designer Javier Jiménez Iniesta, of Studio Animal, talks with ''AV Proyectos'' about his defense of chromatism as a project tool and not just an aesthetic whim.

Résumé:
The essays in "The Hand and the Soul" explore the question of how ethical ideas guiding the design process - a concern for the environment or for social justice - relate to the beauty of our buildings, cities, and artworks. The book presents a range of viewpoints and does not ignore the perils of an easy association of ethics and aesthetics. Yet, the majority of contributors, among them historians, theorists, as well practicing designers and artists, argue passionately in defense of the idea that the good and the beautiful can and should be able to find a common ground in the design disciplines.

Résumé:
D for Dummy Woman, M for Monster’s Tools, S for Style Defense, U for Unstable Signs—The "Glossary of undisciplined design" presents a feminist unpacking of the field of graphic design, offering "undisciplinarity" as the solution to a discipline that has historically featured a multitude of dogmatic rules, discriminatory structures and a particularly one-sided canon. Carried by a decidedly fragmentary and collective backbone, The Glossary of Undisciplined Design combines a multitude of theories and narratives of varying densities and forms, from visual essay, to hands-on experiment, to interview or advertorial, to poem, to speculative tale and scholarly writing.

Résumé:
At the time of his death, Italo Calvino was at work on six lectures setting forth the qualities in writing he most valued, and which he believed would define literature in the century to come. Here, in "Six Memos for the Next Millennium", are the five lectures he completed, forming not only a stirring defense of literature, but also an indispensable guide to the writings of Calvino himself. He devotes one "memo" each to the concepts of "lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, and multiplicity", drawing examples from his vast knowledge of myth, folklore, and works both ancient and modern.

Résumé:
Crooked Road tells the tale of how the Alaska Highway was built during World War II. David Remley chronicles how Americans and Canadians mapped and built the highway under the 1942 authorization of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who ordered its construction for the joint defense of the United States and Canada. Crooked Road draws upon archival images and oral histories from those who lived in the prior unpaved wilderness and those who regularly drive on the highway today, and ultimately offers a fascinating historical account of the expansion of the American landscape. David Remley, a retired teacher, is now a full-time writer based in New Mexico.
