Case Study House # 22, également connue sous le nom de Stahl House du nom de la famille qui l'a construite, est considérée comme l'un des exemples les plus emblématiques et les plus reconnaissables de l'architecture moderne du milieu du siècle dans le monde. Conçue par l'architecte Pierre Koenig et immortalisée par le photographe Julius Shulman, cette maison de verre et d'acier de 1960 dans les collines d'Hollywood en est venue à incarner l'idéalisme d'une génération à la recherche du rêve américain. En tant que l'une des maisons d'études de cas conçues entre 1945 et 1966 sous la vision de John Entenza et du magazine ARTS & ARCHITECTURE, il s'agissait d'une expérience de conception abordable mais progressive pour répondre à la pénurie de logements d'après-guerre.Le résultat - une maison de deux chambres de 2200 pieds carrés avec des murs de verre qui disparaissent dans un panorama à 270 degrés de Los Angeles - est devenu la pièce de résistance de Koenig. La maison Stahl a enfreint les règles, a défié les codes du bâtiment qui décourageaient la construction sur les falaises et a élargi les possibilités de l'architecture résidentielle. Les murs de verre brouillaient la frontière entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur. Le bâtiment semblait fusionner avec la ville elle-même, les lignes de la structure s'alignant avec la géométrie des rues quadrillées de la ville. "Los Angeles devient une extension de la maison et vice versa", a déclaré Koenig. "La maison est juste une partie de la ville."Le livre partage l'histoire intérieure jamais racontée par les enfants adultes de la famille Stahl qui ont grandi là-bas et qui sont toujours propriétaires de la maison. De nombreuses histoires et photos personnelles sont présentées, y compris la vision initiale de Buck Stahl de la maison et son propre modèle schématique de bricolage pour savoir comment construire sur le site compliqué. Au lieu de vivre dans un musée raréfié, la famille a adoré avec enthousiasme leur maison et sa piscine de premier plan. En fait, enfants, ils ont été formés à mettre leur gilet de sauvetage par-dessus leur pyjama dès leur réveil, car la piscine arrivait jusqu'à la porte coulissante en verre de leur chambre. Ils sont tous devenus des nageurs experts et ont sauté plus tard du toit plat dans la piscine, défiant toute préciosité qui aurait pu être associée à une maison aussi hautement conçue.

An irreverent, provocative, and visually fascinating look at what our online lives reveal about who we really are - and how this deluge of data will transform the science of human behaviour. Big Data is used to spy on us, hire and fire us, and sell us things we don't need. In 'Dataclysm', Christian Rudder, founder of one of the world's biggest dating websites OkCupid, puts this flood of information to an entirely different use: understanding human nature. Drawing on terabytes of data from Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, OkCupid, and many other sites, Rudder examines the terrain of human experience to answer a range of questions: Does it matter where you went to school? How racist are we? How do political views alter relationships? Philosophers, psychologists, gene hunters and neuroscientists have tried to explain our flaws and foibles. Rudder shows that in today's era of social media, a powerful new approach is possible, one that reveals how we actually behave when we think no one's looking. Outrageous and illuminating, 'Dataclysm', is a portrait of our essential selves - dark, absurd, occasionally noble - and a first look at a revolution in the making.

Rick Stein's Far Eastern Odyssey is an ambitious journey, avoiding the beaten track and tourist hot-spots, in search of the authentic food of Southeast Asia. In this accompanying book to the major BBC series, Rick shares his favourite recipes and some well-known classic dishes inspired by the fragrant ingredients and recipes he sampled from local chefs, family-run restaurants, street vendors and market stalls. In Cambodia, Rick learns how to make a national dish Samlor kako, a stir-fried pork and vegetable soup flavoured with an array of spices; in Vietnam he is shown the best recipe for Pho Bo, a Vietnamese beef noodle soup; and in Thailand, Rick tries Geng Leuong Sai Gung Lai Sai Bua, a yellow curry made with prawns and lotus shoots that you won't find outside the country. Rick Stein's Far Eastern Odyssey includes over 150 new recipes from Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Bali each complemented by Rick's colourful anecdotes from the trip and beautiful on-location photography. This is a visually-stunning culinary tribute to Southeast Asian cooking that evokes the magic of bustling markets, the sizzle of oil and the aromatic steam from a Far Eastern kitchen.
