'I have more privilege than any person in my family. And I'm still screwed.' From award-winning author Olivia Wenzel comes a captivating and unsettling literary debut about race, politics, feminism, motherhood, nationality and enduring love. A young woman attends a play about the Berlin Wall coming down and is the only Black person in the audience. She is sitting with her boyfriend by a bathing lake and four neo-Nazis show up. In New York, she witnesses Trump's election victory in a strange hotel room and later awakes to panicked messages from friends. Engaging in a witty question and answer with herself, the narrator looks at our rapidly changing times and tells the story of her family: her mother, who was a punk in East Germany and never had the freedom she dreamed of and her absent Angolan father. But in the background of everything is the memory of her twin brother, who died when they were nineteen. Heart-rending, opinionated and wry, Olivia Wenzel's remarkable debut novel is a clear-sighted investigation into origins and belonging, the roles society wants to force us into and why we need to resist them, and the freedoms and fears that being the odd one out brings. 'So exuberant, inventive, brainy, sensitive and hilarious that it's like a pyrotechnic flare illuminating the whole woman, past and present, radiant, unique, a voice and a novel to take with us into the future.' FRANCISCO GOLDMAN, author of Monkey Boy 'Bold and exceptional . . . Her impressive writing, born of a brilliant mind, surprises - stylistically, and by its frankness and associations . . . I rode in the passenger seat, beside the beauty and strangeness of 1000 Coils of Fear.' LYNNE TILLMAN, author of Men and Apparitions and Mothercare 'An audacious and disturbing novel.'

A glimpse through the keyhole of history: From the earliest nude daguerrotypes to experimental nude photographyThe history of nude photography is the history of people’s fascination with the topic. Indeed,the photographic depiction of the human body is the only subject that has enthralled photographers, theoreticians and consumers over such a long period – more than 150 years. No other motif is as prevalent as this one during all the phases of development comprising the history of photography, no other is present, whatever the technique, and is a subject of discussion within the context of nearly all aesthetic movements. Nor has any other pictorial topic produced such a variety of specialities as the nude: from the ethnological interpretation of the body to the glamour shot, from nudist photography to the pin-up of today.No other photographic field of application has inspired as much desire as it has awakened official wrath.1000 Nudes offers a cross-section of the history of nude photography, ranging from the earliest nude daguerrotypes and ethnographic nude photographs to experimental nude photography. The period of time spanned by this work is from 1839 to roughly 1939, from the medium’s infancy to the end of the classic modernist period. Content-wise, the book pays tribute to the full range of pictorial approaches, from the manually elaborated artistic nudes of the turn of the century, enveloped in layers of theory, to the “obscene” postcard motifs which had not the slightest artistic pretension and were intended to exert a maximum effect on the buyer’s wallet.All the pictures shown are taken from the late Uwe Scheid’s collection, one of the world’s largest and most important collections of erotic photography.Text in English, French, and German <br><br> Autorid: Hans-Michael Koetzle, Uwe Scheid <br>

Never show everything: 1,000 breathtaking bombshells "Girls, Gags & Giggles" - this was publisher Robert Harrison’s recipe for dishing up the American pin-up to the U.S. male. In the1950s his girlie magazines sold by the millions, before becoming icons of pulp and trash culture. These skilfully illustrated girls with their curvaceous forms and inviting lingerie soon overtook America’s national dessert, in terms of popularity, and even developed considerable potential as a cultural export during the 1940s. "Never show everything," was always the motto. Smiling prettily at the camera, the models exuded just the right amount of sex appeal without seeming too sophisticated or artful. They were the ’girls next door’ whose wholesome attraction soon made one forget the magazines’ deliberately trashy presentation. Their rosy complexions and innocent allures still titillate even in an age when far more graphic material is the norm. For everyone who enjoys pin-ups, push-ups and pulp style!

Ühtaegu meelelahutuslikus ja harivas piltsõnastikus on tuhatkond sõna ja pilti, mille toel laiendada koolieelses eas lapse sõnavara ning arendada tema lugemis- ja kirjutamisoskust. Pildikeel on selge ja elulähedane, sest muu hulgas on kasutatud rohkesti fotosid. Igal leheküljel on kümneid igapäevaelus vajalikke nimisõnu ning vähemal määral tegu- ja omadussõnu järgmistel teemadel: minu pere ja sõbrad, loomad ja loodus, tööd ja ametid, muinaslood, talu- ja linnaelu ja palju muud. Peale selle on teemade juures lihtsad küsimused, mis julgustavad rääkima ja arutlema, arendavad tähelepanu- ja mõtlemisvõimet. Raamatus on ka viis lihtsat piltlugu, mis tutvustavad konteksti sobivaid sõnu ja väljendeid ning aitavad mõista loo vestmise ja lausete moodustamise loogikat. Need pakuvad toredat vaheldust avastuslikele, uudishimu ärgitavatele teemalehekülgedele ja arendavad loovust. Näiteks järgneb lemmikloomateemale lugu, milles mänguhimuline koer oma põrkepalli otsib, ja pärast muinasjututeemat saab laps etteantud vormelite toel ise oma loo teha. Etteantud vormelite ja sõnade toel saab laps jutustamisega hästi hakkama ja eduelamus motiveerib aina rohkem avastama ja õppima. <br><br> Autorid: Rainer Rahusaar, Dawn Sirett <br>

A chunky, giftable compendium of beautiful vases by emerging designers from around the world A vase is never merely a container. As Georges Braque once said, "the vase gives form to emptiness": ever since the earliest human civilizations, this object has had a purpose that is greater than its function and it perennially invites experimentation in shape and expression. The 1,000 vases presented in this book offer an eloquent demonstration of this fact. They come from 35 different countries and more than 80% of them have been made by women or independent designers and artists born between 1988 and 1993—each of whom was invited to create a free interpretation of the same archetype, resulting in a spectrum of the infinite creativity inspired by the many possible versions of a single item. Made from an enormous range of materials (ceramic, terracotta, porcelain, metal, wood and glass, as well as natural fibers, industrial waste and recycled plastic), using techniques both ancient and ultramodern (3D printing) and belonging to different categories (from amphora to jar, jug to carafe), almost all sit on the borderline that simultaneously unites and separates art, design and craftsmanship. Designers include: Yuta Segawa, Zhu Ohmu, Yonobi Studio, Angelika Kogevina, Anbar El Mokri, Andrea Maestri, Angelina Guez, Anna Jukova, Ariaana de Luca, Carey Lowell, Coco Brun, E Jockel, Gabriela Flores and many more. <br><br> Autorid: Meet My Project, Pier Paolo Pitacco <br>
