Design: The Whole Story * Revised and Updated
Design: The Whole Story takes a close look at the key developments, movements and practitioners of design around the world, from the beginnings of industrial manufacturing to the present day. Organized chronologically, it locates design within its technological, cultural, economic, aesthetic and theoretical contexts.From the high-minded moralists of the 19th century to the radical thinkers of modernism – and from the emergence of showmen such as Raymond Loewy in the 1930s to today’s superstars such as Philippe Starck – the book provides in-depth coverage of a subject that touches all our lives. Iconic works that mark significant steps forward or that characterize a particular era or approach – such as Marcel Breuer’s Wassily chair of 1925, Eliot Noyes’ corporate identity work for IBM in the 1950s and Matthew Carter’s Verdana typeface, designed to be read on screen – are analysed in detail, while the text sets out the framework of ideas, intent and technology within which differing576 s..
Henry James
One of the master stylists of the English novel, Henry James is often thought of as having lived a life of total absorption in his craft, a life without significant outward events. But James, who combined rare qualities of aloofness and participation, of detachment and alert curiosity, was a man upon whom few experiences and observations were lost. After a restless transatlantic childhood and a brief residence in France, James settled in England, where he became one of the most traveled and sociable writers of his time. In the theme of conflict between the European and American sensibilities he found a world of heightened perceptions to which he gave lasting expression in his works. Relating many of James's best-known stories to the events and real-life characters who inspired his fiction, Harry Moore enhances our appreciation of the works themselves and of their intent creator. He makes it clear that, for James, expatriation from America was not a withdrawal from the world to which he..
The History of Film (156 illustrations, 15 in Colour, First Ed)
In this lively, informative and up-to-date new analysis of what has been called the seventh art, David Parkinson traces the evolution of the moving image from the earliest shadow shows to the contemporary cinema. Covering the key elements and players that have contributed to its artistic and technical development, it offers a remarkably concise overview of film throughout the world. Beginning with cinema's scientific origins, the book assesses the achievements of an international body of film-makers: D.W. Griffith and the pioneers of the classical narrative; silent artists; the directors of Golden Age Hollywood; the Italian Neo-Realists; the auteurs of the French New Wave and those responsible for the directions that cinema has recently taken internationally. Concluding with a preview of film in the future, this is a uniquely comprehensive account of the most modern of art forms.

Virginia Woolf with 136 illustrations
Since her death in 1941, Virginia Woolf has come to be recognized as one of the supreme prose writers of the twentieth century. In the thirty years between her marriage to Leonard Woolf in 1912 and her death, she wrote fifteen books, including the epoch-making novels To the Lighthouse and The Waves, as well as innumerable critical articles, essays, and stories, and a voluminous diary: an astonishing achievement for a writer who was plagued by mental illness all through her life. Virginia Woolf is honored today not only as a novelist and literary critic of the most varied gifts, but also as the author of A Room of One's Own, with little doubt the most brilliantly argued, witty, and persuasive exposition of the feminist standpoint in modern times.
