Die Meisterwerke des größten Architekten Amerikas§§Ein Gebäude von Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) ist immer unverkennbar individuell und beschwört gleichzeitig eine ganze Ära herauf. Wrights Entwürfe zeichnen sich vor allem durch ihre organische Anpassung an die Umgebung aus sowie durch eine Verwendung von Stahl und Glas, die den Übergang von Innen- zu Außenraum fließend macht. Sie verkündeten das Anbrechen der Moderne und machten ihren Erschaffer unsterblich.§§Diese sorgfältige Kompilation aus TASCHENs dreibändiger Wright-Monografie stellt in einem übersichtlichen und erschwinglichen Band die wichtigsten Werke aus dem gewaltigem bahnbrechenden Oeuvre des berühmtesten amerikanischen Architekten vor. Die Zusammenstellung, basierend auf dem unbegrenzten Zugriff auf die Frank Lloyd Wright Archives in Taliesin, Arizona, deckt das gesamte Spektrum von Wrights Schaffen ab und berücksichtigt auch Projekte, die nie realisiert wurden. Die Werkschau reicht von den frühen Präriehäusern über das durch Fallingwater verkörperte usonische Konzepthaus, die Tokioter Bauten und die progressiven Beispiele für lebendige Architektur bis hin zu späteren Projekten wie dem Guggenheim Museum in New York und der fantastischen Vision für eine bessere Zukunft in der lebendigen Stadt .§§Der Autor Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, der in den 1950er-Jahren Schüler von Wright war, stellt jüngste Forschungen zu Wright vor und gibt seine eigenen Erkenntnisse über diese Meilensteine der Architektur zum Besten.

La Testarossa, una delle Ferrari più "provocanti” di sempre, fece grande scalpore sin dalla sua "anteprima”, andata in scena al Lidò di Parigi, nel 1984. Era estrema nelle linee, con la carreggiata posteriore sensibilmente più grande rispetto a quella anteriore, le prese d'aria lamellari sulle fiancate e a livello meccanico "sfoggiava” un poderoso 12 cilindri a V di quasi cinque litri di cilindrata. Nella collana Supercars non poteva mancare un titolo dedicato a questa sensazionale vettura raccontata nella sua genesi tecnica e stilistica. Nel volume trovano spazio sia le "antenate” della Testarossa – 365 GTB/4 "Daytona” e 512 BB – sia le sue "discendenti” - 512 TR e la F512 M – senza dimenticare la versione Spider voluta dall'Avvocato Gianni Agnelli e la sensazionale Mythos, il prototipo firmato da Pininfarina nel 1989 e nato proprio attorno alla meccanica di questa automobile. Il libro è completato dalle prove su strada che videro protagonista la vettura sulla rivista Quattroruote.

Perhaps no figure in biblical scholarship has been the subject of more controversy and debate than Mary Magdalene. Also known as Miriam of Magdala, Mary Magdalene was considered by the apostle John to be the founder of Christianity because she was the first witness to the Resurrection. In most theological studies she has been depicted as a reformed prostitute, the redeemed sinner who exemplifies Christ's mercy. Today's reader can ponder her role in the gospels of Philip, Thomas, Peter and Bartholomew - the collection of what have come to be known as the Gnostic gospels rejected by the early Christian church. Mary's own gospel is among these but until now it has remained unknown to the public at large. Orthodox theologian Jean-Yves Leloup's translation of the Gospel of Mary from the Coptic and his thorough and profound commentary on this text are presented here for the first time in English. The gospel text and the spiritual exegesis of Leloup together reveal unique teachings that emphasise the eminence of the divine feminine and an abiding love of nature over the dualistic and ascetic interpretations of Christianity presented elsewhere.What emerges from this important source text and commentary is a renewal of the sacred feminine in the Western spiritual tradition and a new vision for Christian thought and faith throughout the world.

Thanks to art's ability to communicate and influence, it has always had a charged relationship with activism and politics. And, given the tumultuous times in which we live, with traditional democracies being challenged from all sides, the changing climate, global movements for social justice, and political upheaval causing millions to search for a better life abroad, this relationship has never been more important. The Art of Protest will explore the connection between art, politics, and activism today, revealing how, over the past decade, artists have been engaging with political and social issues of all kinds, through different artistic mediums.

Se il 1984 è un anno non facile per la Casa di Maranello in Formula 1 non si può dire lo stesso per le vetture di produzione, con il prepotente ritorno di due sigle fra le più iconiche e suggestive nella storia del Cavallino: Testarossa e GTO, la nuova granturismo Ferrari, frutto più maturo della longeva quanto gloriosa famiglia di vetture a 8 cilindri, apparsa al Salone di Ginevra di quell'anno. La 288 GTO – questa la denominazione completa del nuovo modello – è figlia legittima del prototipo 308 GTB Speciale allestito da Pininfarina nel 1977, come dire, una 308 "vitaminizzata” con carrozzeria ancor più grintosa e spinta da un 8 cilindri a V di 2,8 litri capace di rendere circa 400 CV per una velocità di punta di poco superiore ai 300 km/h. Dopo F40 e Testarossa, un'altra supercar del Cavallino entra a pieno titolo in questa monografia che ne ripercorre la genesi tecnica e stilistica anche attraverso alcuni degli artefici di quel modello.

A provocative and timely case for how the science of genetics can help create a more just and equal society In recent years, scientists like Kathryn Paige Harden have shown that DNA makes us different, in our personalities and in our health—and in ways that matter for educational and economic success in our current society. In The Genetic Lottery, Harden introduces readers to the latest genetic science, dismantling dangerous ideas about racial superiority and challenging us to grapple with what equality really means in a world where people are born different. Weaving together personal stories with scientific evidence, Harden shows why our refusal to recognize the power of DNA perpetuates the myth of meritocracy, and argues that we must acknowledge the role of genetic luck if we are ever to create a fair society. Reclaiming genetic science from the legacy of eugenics, this groundbreaking book offers a bold new vision of society where everyone thrives, regardless of how one fares in the genetic lottery.

Se è vero che il motore V12 è il frazionamento da sempre considerato più iconico per le stradali – e non solo – uscite dalla fabbrica di Maranello, è altrettanto vero che alla metà degli anni Settanta fu una vettura a 8 cilindri a proiettare definitivamente la Ferrari verso una dimensione industriale. La 308 GTB, apparsa al Salone di Parigi del 1975, fu il modello capace di conferire una nuova immagine alle berlinette Ferrari, immagine figlia ancora una volta dell’estro di Leonardo Fioravanti. Con le sue linee morbide ma al tempo stesso grintose, la 308 si è posta alla testa di una genealogia di GT del Cavallino – 208 e 328 – tutte mosse da propulsori V8 collocati alle spalle dell’abitacolo e offerte con carrozzeria chiusa e aperta, che hanno traghettato la Casa di Maranello sino alla fine degli anni Ottanta, con cifre di produzione mai raggiunte sino ad allora. Quelle indimenticabili automobili, oggi più che mai ricercate dai collezionisti che se le contendono a cifre sempre più elevate, non potevano mancare nella collana Supercars.
