Kate Blackwell is one of the richest and most powerful women in the world. She is an enigma, a woman surrounded by a thousand unanswered questions. Her father was a diamond prospector who struck it rich beyond his wildest dreams. Her mother was the daughter of a crooked Afrikaaner merchant. Her conception was itself an act of hate-filled vengeance.§§At the extravagent celebrations of her ninetieth birthday, there are toasts from a Supreme Court Judge and a telegram from the White House. And for Kate there are ghosts, ghosts of absent friends and of enemies. Ghosts from a life of blackmail and murder. Ghosts from an empire spawned by naked ambition.
Showcases the British Museum’s remarkable collection of graphic art from the post-war period to the present day from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland. With many works published for the first time, this lavishly illustrated publication celebrates the recent acquisition programme designed to expand the Museum’s holding of contemporary prints and drawings from the Nordic countries. Many of the artists are little-known outside the region and this new title firmly establishes their importance on the world stage. These Nordic artists examine the fundamental themes of nature, the environment, identity and heritage through visually arresting and beautiful prints and drawings. The overwhelmingly spectacular landscape of the region features prominently in many works – dark fjords, vast uninhabited mountain ranges and heavily forested areas provide a counterpoint to depictions of densely crowded, highly developed urban spaces viewed through the Nordic lens. A growing mood of melancholy and existential angst, emerging from the trauma of the Second World War and the uncertain threat of the Cold War, is often illustrated by a lone, brooding figure. Prints from the 1970s convey a deep criticism of US foreign policy and the Vietnam War, but ironically adopt the iconography of American Pop Art by using striking contemporary imagery and bold use of colour. The Indigenous Sami people living in the northern part of Scandinavia and Russia address issues such as their own heritage and identity within the Nordic world. Regional identity is also explored from pride in the artists’ own native countries to coded references to their 'Viking’ past. The book also features works by contemporary Nordic artists who are constantly challenging the idea of the 'perfect’ Scandinavian social world often projected by these countries to outsiders.

With the clock ticking philandering Beetle CEO Guy Matthias, conflicted national security agent Eloise Jayne, depressed journalist David Strachey, and secretive hacker Gogol each try to uncover the truth in a darkly funny and horribly recognisable world only days ahead of our own.

Africa State of Mind gathers together the work of an emergent generation of photographers from across Africa, including both the Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa. It is both a summation of new photographic practice from the last decade and an exploration of how contemporary photographers from the continent are exploring ideas of Africanness to reveal Africa to be a psychological space as much as a physical territory a state of mind as much as a geographical place. Dispensing with the western colonial view of Africa in purely geographic or topographic terms, Ekow Eshun presents Africa State of Mind in four thematic parts: Hybrid Cities; Inner Landscapes; Zones of Freedom; and Myth and Memory. Each theme, introduced by a text by Eshun, presents selections of work by a new wave of African photographers who are looking both outward and inward: capturing life among the sprawling cities and multitudinous conurbations of the continent, turning the legacy of the continents history into the source of resonant new myths and dreamscapes and exploring questions of gender, sexuality and identity. Each of the photographers seeks to capture the experience of what it means, and how it feels, to live in Africa today. Autorid: Ekow Eshun

A funny and beautifully written welcome to the enigmatic, weird and wonderful world of wasps DAVE GOULSON, author of SILENT EARTH There may be no insect with a worse reputation than the wasp, and none guarding so many undiscovered wonders. Where bees and ants have long been the darlings of the insect world, wasps are much older, cleverer and more diverse. They are the bees evolutionary ancestors flying 100 million years earlier and today they are just as essential for the survival of our environment. A bee, ecologist Professor Seirian Sumner argues, is just a wasp that has forgotten how to hunt. For readers of Entangled Life, Other Minds and The Gospel of Eels, this is a book to upturn your expectations about one overlooked animal and the wider architecture of our natural world. With endless surprises, this book might teach you about the wasps that spend their entire lives sealed inside a fig, about stinging wasps, about parasitic wasps, about wasps that turn cockroaches into living zombies, about how wasps taught us to make paper. It offers up a maligned insect in all its diverse, unexpected splendour; as both predator and pollinator, the wasp is an essential pest controller worldwide. Inside their sophisticated social worlds is the best model we have for the earths major evolutionary transitions. In their understudied biology are clues to progressing medicine, including a possible cure for cancer. The closer you look at these spurned, winged insects both custodians and bouncers of our planet the more you see. Their secrets have so far gone mostly untapped, but the potential of the wasp is endless. Autorid: Seirian Sumner

Bringing together real-world examples, Architecture and Energy offers starting points for how to approach construction today and into the future. The energy requirements of buildings are enormous, resulting in a significant proportion of global carbon dioxide emissions, both in the construction phase and during the buildings use and eventual demolition. In an era of energy transition and extreme weather phenomena, the question of how we build in a time of climate change becomes all the more urgent. A sustainably-built wood and concrete supermarket that includes a roof farm, a kindergarten constructed from locally sourced recycled materials, renovating an office building so that it can remove its air conditioning and ventilation systems: in addition to the choice of materials and innovative operating concepts, the possibilities for reducing emissions and energy requirements lie above all in thinking about the entire life cycle of a building, including refurbishing rather than new construction when possible. This volume presents international best-practice projects characterized by sustainable design and provides forward-looking answers. Autorid: Annette Becker, Peter Cachola Schmal, Werner Sobek
The instant #1 New York Times bestseller and one of the most talked-about books of the year, Lisa Taddeo&;s Three Women is &;the most in-depth look at the female sex drive that&;s been published in decades&; (New York) and a &;groundbreaking...breathtaking&;staggeringly intimate&; (Entertainment Weekly) look at the sex lives of three real American women&;based on nearly a decade of reporting. Hailed as &;a dazzling achievement&; (Los Angeles Times) and &;riveting page-turner that explores desire, heartbreak, and infatuation in all its messy, complicated nuance&; (The Washington Post), Lisa Taddeo&;s Three Women has captivated readers, booksellers, and critics&;and topped bestseller lists&;worldwide. Declared &;the best book of the year&; by Elizabeth Gilbert and &;a breathtaking and important book&; by Cheryl Strayed, Three Women has won praise everywhere from Columbia Journalism Review (&;deeply reported, elegantly written, almost uncomfortably intimate&;) to Refinery29 (&;the hype for Three Women is real; in fact, it&;s insufficient&;), from Esquire (&;a heartbreaking, gripping, astonishing masterpiece&;) to Time (&;Three Women is a battle cry&;For anyone who thinks they know what women want, this book is an alarm, and its volume is turned all the way up.&;) In the words of The New Statesman, &;This is an unusual, startling, and gripping debut. It feels to me like the kind of bold, timely, once-in-a-generation book that every house should have a copy of, and probably will before too long.&; In suburban Indiana we meet Lina, the homemaker and mother of two whose marriage, after a decade, has lost its passion. Starved for affection, Lina battles daily panic attacks and, after reconnecting with an old flame through social media, embarks on an affair that quickly becomes all-consuming. In North Dakota we meet Maggie, the seventeen-year-old high school student who allegedly has a clandestine physical relationship with her handsome, married English teacher; the ensuing criminal trial will turn their quiet community upside down. Finally, in the northeast we meet Sloane, the successful, refined restaurant owner whose husband enjoys watching her have sex with other men and women. Based on years of immersive reporting and told with astonishing frankness and immediacy, Three Women is both a feat of journalism and a triumph of storytelling, brimming with nuance and empathy. &;A work of deep observation, long conversations, and a kind of journalistic alchemy&; (Kate Tuttle, NPR), Three Women introduces us to three unforgettable women&;and one remarkable writer&;whose experiences remind us that we are not alone.

Back in the 1950s during the Cold War every new day beckoned the possibility of the end of the world. Kids grew up in the shadow of bomb shelters and were treated to daily lessons at school on what to do in the event of a nuclear attack. Americans were besieged by constant reminders to police our borders, to carefully watch out for foreigners who might be spies, and to be ever vigilant in preparing to combat the red menace of communism. Comic books of this era played on these fears with stories of atomic war and world war III. This new historic reprint looks back at those good ole days, which can be viewed in the perspective of todays political climate. This volume reprints the complete runs of Atomic War! and World War III and can be read merely as great action/adventure stories, classic war comics or as an eerie, unanticipated commentary on todays tribulations. SPECIAL NOTE: if these extremely rare books were purchased at your local comic shop they would cost well over $1000 in low grade condition!
