DOM Publishers Chicago: Architectural Guide
Book SynopsisSome architects regard a visit to Chicago as equal in importance to a pilgrimage to Rome or Athens: The soaring American metropolis at the shores of Lake Michigan has amassed an unmatched collection of first-rate buildings in every possible style since late nineteenth-century industrialization. This book looks at Chicago through the prism of Post-Modernism — under the premise that this style did not cease to exist sometime in the 1990s, but is, in fact, still with us today. Starting with the 1978 Illinois Regional Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, curator and critic Vladimir Belogolovsky presents 100 structures, most of which were created after the turn of the millennium. These lavishly illustrated building descriptions are supplemented by introductory essays and interviews with Chicago architects, including Stanley Tigerman, Helmut Jahn and Jeanne Gang.

Tuttle Publishing Tokyo Love Story: A Manga Memoir of One Woman's
Book SynopsisA funny and intimate travelogue of one woman's unexpected adventures in Japan.French illustrator Julie Blanchin-Fujita arrived in Tokyo for what she thought would be a one-year stint, and ended up never leaving. In this graphic novel-style memoir she shares her love of Japan, while depicting personal experiences and stories from her life in Tokyo—from the exotic (sumo wrestlers, ramen, hot springs, tatami mats, bentos, Japanese trains, Mount Fuji, earthquakes) to the everyday (hanging out with friends, moving houses, falling in love).Her voyage of discovery in the world's most exciting city will appeal to a broad range of readers—from those contemplating a trip to Tokyo and Japanophiles to fans of graphic novels and anyone who enjoys a good manga love story. Packed with keen cultural observations, this enchanting story is told in both English and Japanese—also making it a great language learning resource.Trade Review"Fujita's wry illustrated diary renders life in Tokyo in featherlight lines and cheery watercolors…This loosely drawn sketchbook account provides a friendly introduction to Japanese language, culture, and daily life." --Publishers Weekly"Originally written in French, this travel memoir has not lost any of its charm in its translation to English…Fujita oscillates between describing personal experiences and explaining the initially foreign Japanese customs. Both sections flow so well together, readers may not even notice her break from story to explanation…[Fujita] carries the story with her written wit and relatable humor." --Geeks Under Grace"If you've ever wanted to visit Japan, this is a great way to armchair travel there and dream about the day you can go there and see it for yourself." --Books on the Square

In this title, the author makes a pilgrimage to Sir Walter Scott's baronial mansion, Wordsworth's cottage in the Lake District, the Bronte parsonage, Shakespeare's birthplace, and Freud's office in Hampstead.Trade Review"Love, Sex & Tragedy is great, and great fun, the kind of book you find yourself reading out to your other half as you go along-a sparkling, erudite, and amusing remedy for our collective historical amnesia, a book that persuasively argues that without an understanding of our classical roots we are stumbling in the dark, missing vital information about who we really are and why we do the things we do." -Zadie Smith"

The text, by architectural tour guide Francis Morrone and architectural historian Matthew A. Postal, is rich without being overly dense, and striking high-resolution photography by Edward A. Toran makes the volume useful to armchair travelers as well." -- Modernism"References to other buildings are thoughtfully keyed, aware of the manner in which a book allows for the walking tour to devolve into something more personal, less scripted….It furthers [the MAS] mission of celebrating the city’s many layers and appreciating them firsthand." -- John Hill - Archidose.org"The book is a suitable gift for out-of-town visitors or city residents, and it could serve as the basis for a group excursion, if you’re looking for a cheaper, D.I.Y. approach to teambuilding." -- BizBash
