Orion Publishing Co Comic Sans
Book SynopsisComic Sans is one of the most used and most reviled typefaces of the digital age. How was it made? How could it spawn a movement to ban it and yet still be so widely promoted by educators? What does its accidental creator make of its contentious and singular history?This quirky and unique book considers how the computer transformed type into something that anyone could use and have an opinion on. It examines how a typeface, correctly used, may sell us almost anything, and how new types with names such as Crash Soul, Lovely Scream Queens and Ampersandist (to name but three recent examples of the hundreds issued each year) each attempt to keep the alphabet exciting and new. And it concludes with an alluring question: could Comic Sans now be the coolest typeface ever made?

Abrams Trimmings
Book SynopsisTrimmings details the history of Declercq’s passementerie, the fine art of detail in haute couture. In 1852, Joseph Bertaud bought a small trimmings factory in Paris that had been making passementerie since 1760. Although passementerie—the woven textile accessories adorning furniture and clothing in the form of a fringe, tassel, braid, crest, and beyond—reached France in the Middle Ages, the house continues to uphold the excellence and pass down the history of the Declercq Passementiers factory 170 years later. Having collaborated with major institutions such as Versailles and Chantilly and prestigious decorators and architects such as Jacques Grange, Patrick Frey, Franck Sorbier, Mathieu Lehanneur, Michel Charrière, Joseph Achkar, Jamie Drakeet, Gabhan O’Keefe, and François-Joseph Graf, the factory has withstood the test of time and adapted to the fluctuating fashions in vogue in decoration.

Little, Brown Book Group The Visitors Book
Book SynopsisDenis Wirth-Miller and Dicky Chopping were a couple at the heart of the mid-twentieth century art world, with the visitors'' book of the Essex townhouse they shared from 1945 until 2008 painting them as Zeligs of British society. The names recorded inside make up an astonishing supporting cast - from Francis Bacon to Lucian Freud to Randolph Churchill to John Minton. Successful artists, although not household names themselves, writing Dicky and Denis off as just footnotes in history would be a mistake. After Denis''s death in 2010, Jon Lys-Turner, one of two executors of the couple''s estate, came into possession of an extraordinary archive of letters, works of art and symbolically loaded ephemera the two had collected since they met in the 1930s. It is no exaggeration to state that this archive represents a missing link in British art history - the wealth of new biographical information disclosed about Francis Bacon, for example, is truly staggering.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Mass Housing
Book SynopsisShortlisted for the Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion 2021 (The Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain)It will become the standard work on the subject. Literary ReviewThis major work provides the first comprehensive history of one of modernism's most defining and controversial architectural legacies: the 20th-century drive to provide homes for the people'. Vast programmes of mass housing high-rise, low-rise, state-funded, and built in the modernist style became a truly global phenomenon, leaving a legacy which has suffered waves of disillusionment in the West but which is now seeing a dramatic, 21st-century renaissance in the booming, crowded cities of East Asia. Providing a global approach to the history of Modernist mass-housing production, this authoritative study combines architectural history with the broader social, political, cultural aspects of mass housing particularly the mass' politics of power and state-building throughout the 20th centTrade ReviewIt is the great achievement of this project that it takes a truly global perspective while also stressing the distinctive differences that separate one nation from another… No serious student of modern architecture can afford to be without Glendinning’s Mass Housing. It will become the standard work on the subject. * Literary Review *This book should find a place on the shelves of many; politicians, policy advisers, civil servants and, as an invaluable textbook for advanced students in a range of disciplines. It is lavishly illustrated with full-colour photographs and is unlikely to be superseded for many years. * Journal of Contemporary European Studies *Magisterial and illuminating ... Glendinning is a compelling storyteller ... Mass Housing is an extraordinary achievement. * C20 Society Journal *This book will prove invaluable as a new resource for housing historians. In skilfully relating architectural form to the broader social and political contexts, it will also be insightful for academics and students in a range of disciplines and policy makers concerned with housing delivery and heritage conservation. * Journal of Contemporary History *Both sweeping and detailed, Mass Housing is about more than massive housing or even housing for 'the masses'. It is an ambitious and broadly-comparative inquiry into the globally-felt political need to undertake such quests, revealing and illustrating surprisingly diverse architectural expressions. * Lawrence Vale, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA *This book comprehensively dismantles the caricatured view of modernist mass housing as homogenous, repetitive and ill-suited to the diversity of contemporary urban life. In its place, Miles Glendinning offers a fresh perspective on the formal inventiveness, social complexity, global reach and sheer problem-solving spirit that this architecture embodies. * Stephen Cairns, ETH Zurich, Switzerland / Future Cities Lab, Singapore *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgements INTRODUCTION Cuius regio, eius religio – the multiple modernities of housing Mass housing – spearhead of radical modernisation Methodological challenges and constraints: balancing narrative and geography PART A: MID 19th-CENTURY TO 1945 - The gathering storm 1.

New York University Press Sensual Excess
Book SynopsisReimagines black and brown sensuality to develop new modes of knowledge productionIn Sensual Excess, Amber Jamilla Musser imagines epistemologies of sensuality that emerge from fleshiness. To do so, she works against the framing of black and brown bodies as sexualized, objectified, and abject, and offers multiple ways of thinking with and through sensation and aesthetics. Each chapter draws our attention to particular aspects of pornotropic capture that black and brown bodies must always negotiate. Though these technologies differ according to the nature of their encounters with white supremacy, together they add to our understanding of the ways that structures of domination produce violence and work to contain bodies and pleasures within certain legible parameters.To do so, Sensual Excess analyzes moments of brown jouissance that exceed these constraints. These ruptures illuminate multiple epistemologies of selfhood and sensuality that offer framewoTrade ReviewTending to a lush theoretical ground of brownness and being realized through the senses, Amber Musser’s Sensual Excess challenges the very dimensions of normative ways of reading and sensing minoritarian epistemologies…. Inviting empathy and embodiment to ways of knowing, the text pulses with both sentient and critical offerings from an archive of explicit body performances that center racialized and sexualized works of art. * Women & Performance *Seductive, urgent, and poetic, Sensual Excess is a vital contribution to psycho-analytic theory, critical race studies, and queer theory. Guided by the senses and therefore not inhibited by mastery, Musser still manages to astonish the reader with her dazzling theoretical dexterity, a model for the relentless engagement one must deploy in projects concerning flesh. * QED *In a feat of sheer poeticism, Sensual Excess offers readers a lucid consideration of various representational strategies employed by artists of color in order to rewrite the scripts positioned on their bodies. Mussers attunement to the sensesespecially taste, touch, and smelllend a particularly textured quality to the book, and aids in her brilliant construction of an expansive and juicy framework for pondering the rich versions of the self, and the other, as staged in brown feminine performance. -- Uri McMillan, author of Embodied Avatars: Geneaologies of Black Feminist Art and PerformanceThis book is a model for how to read, engage, think with, and celebrate black, brown, feminist, queer, and sex-centered art practices. Sensual Excess is a sustained argument for and celebration of the sensual politics of work by artists like Xandra Ibarra, Mickalene Thomas, Nao Bustamante, and Lyle Ashton Harris. Mussers writing centers on the performative space of the encounter with art objects and practicesblack and brown life unfolds not only in these artworks but around and through them. Mussers writing is distinguished by a devotion to the material detail of these works, to their vitality, to their philosophical intensities, to their ecstatic and transformative potential. -- Jennifer Doyle, author of Hold It Against Me: Difficulty and Emotion in Contemporary Art
