This book is an overview of plans, maps, and occasionally map-views of great cities all over the world. It follows the development of the city plan from its earliest stages in the Renaissance, through the Enlightenment, to the colonial city, the Grand Tour, Asian cities, the Industrial Revolution, gold rush and frontier cities, the administrative city plan, and finally the modern pictorial city map. Each map will be accompanied by a textual description of the map placing it within its historical, political, social, and /or economic context. In addition, we will also include short biographies of the cartographers who produced each map highlighting their contributions to cartography. While the work will cover many of the world's great cities, the book revolves around a loose group of anchor cities with a long mapping heritage, such as New York, London, Paris, Beijing, Tokyo, Rome, and others, that appear repeatedly as the book progresses through different styles and eras of the urban plan. This enables readers to better understand how the city plan has changed over time as well as how these great cities have changed and, at the same time, extrapolate a better understanding of the other city plans offered. While the book follows a loose chronical progression, overlapping urban planning and cultural differences, prevent this book from following a strict chronological order.

The idea behind the boardbook collection was to attract even the youngest readers (from as young as 3 years old); to encourage them to discover subjects and areas that interest them (nature, animals, shapes, etc.) and to help them classify the things that surround them. The series is comprised of ten little books. Two are instructive, teaching shapes and numbers; five are exploratory and describe settings that are fun to discover (farm animals, wild animals, the backyard and its insects, the vegetable garden) and three are short stories about the experience of birth in nature (the birth of a little bird, of a butterfly and of a flower). Narration becomes the background for the text since touching and picture reading are the primary means of interpretation. A guiding character accompanies the child throughout each developing story until the end, where there is a summary of all the characters introduced in the book. Consistent with the Montessori approach, the child is encouraged to interact independently with his or her book. For example, in some cases, the child is asked to use a finger to trace the outline of a shape and notice its characteristics (round, sharp-edged, jagged, etc.). In others, he or she is asked to use a finger to follow a path in order to discover hidden characters and learn to associate them with their most distinctive features (the lion's tail, the rabbit's ears, the colours of vegetables, etc.).

Jigsaw puzzles are one of the simplest and most effective ways to learn while having fun! Created for pre-school children, the aim of this new and innovative collection is to unite reading time with playtime and manual creativity. In each volume, the pages of text are alternated with puzzle pages to put back together: in order to see how many sheep there are in the field, or what the bird's house is made of, children will have to piece together Ronnie Gazzola's illustrations on their own, giving them a whole new sense of satisfaction! Depending on the volume, the puzzles are made up of 1 or 6 pieces: in both cases they are very easy to put back together, but at the same time stimulating and exciting (and made in durable cardboard!). In What color are you? and How many animals on the farm?, the two-piece puzzles will teach children to count from one to five and to recognise colours together with some lovely little animals; in Home sweet home! and Where's your mommy, T-rex?, the six-piece puzzles will teach them to link each animal to their home in the first book and all about the most famous dinosaurs in the second. This is a sure method for children to learn with ease and above all having lots of fun! Ages: 3 plus

The elegant illustrations in this colouring book were produced by The Dream State Studio, a team of gifted illustrators from Taiwan. The drawings are an intriguing combination of intricately drawn patterns that form stunning pictures inside each whole drawing, so that when the pages are looked at closely, individual designs are visible within each sketch. For example the image on the page might be a butterfly, but when looked at carefully, the wings are precisely drawn lion heads, which in turn are made up of even smaller, delicate flower motifs. There is plenty of scope for colourers to get imaginative with this beautifully, original book. As well as providing an antidote to the anxieties of busy life, this title offers artists the chance to look at a kaleidoscopic world and calm themselves as they colour in.

Coco Chanel was founder and queen of a fashion empire, and her name is forever linked to an unmistakable style. Before all this, Mademoiselle Coco was Gabrielle, a poor orphan who rejected convention and put her independence above all else. With her grit and tenacity, she made her fortune and restored freedom to women. This volume celebrates a true icon 50 years after her passing, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the timeless Chanel No. 5. She revolutionised the concept of feminine elegance with straight dresses and inventions that would later become icons: these were the little black dress, Chanel No. 5, costume jewellery, the suit with gold buttons, the quilted bag. Her myth lives again in a biography illustrated by images portraying her as the perfect embodiment of the timeless elegance. Because, as Coco said, "fashion passes; style remains."

On the 500th anniversary of Raphael's death, this handsomely illustrated volume looks at his life, his art, and his genius. Raphael was an artist ahead of his time, both as a painter and in the way he managed his studio: he acted as an entrepreneur, creating a modern organisation with an excellent group of collaborators. His inventions and ideas spread widely, thanks to engravings and woodcuts. So, even in his lifetime, Raphael gained renown with critics and collectors. This magnificent study of the great master, written by an expert historiographer who has curated exhibitions of Raphael's art, explores the full range of his work - from his altar pieces, to the stunning frescos in the Vatican Rooms, to the narratives in the Vatican Loggias, to his tapestries for the Sistine Chapel - often with detailed closeups and preliminary sketches and studies. It also delves into Raphael's life, the myth of the painter protected and promoted by the Academia Raffaello, and his influence on the Italian and European artists who followed in his wake. The images of Raphael's work include: Little Angel: a detail from the Sistine Madonna, The Marriage of the Virgin, The Three Graces, The Deposition, The School of Athens, Freeing of St. Peter, Madonna of the Chair, The Fire in the Borgo, The Coronation of Charlemagne, and The Transfiguration.

The series Montessori: A World of Achievements is a collection of texts for children that contain playing activities aimed at encouraging the development of the main cognitive skills, such as the recognition of numbers, shapes and colours. They are designed and built according to the specific educational and pedagogical approach of the Montessori Method. At the Armonia Farm, little ones of 3 to 4 years learn the features of farm animals, thanks to enjoyable, strategically developed activities, according to the Montessori method. By means of outlines to trace, shapes to recognise and colour, drawings to cut out, and many brightly coloured stickers to place, children gradually learn new information about animals, at the same time developing their cognitive potential. The structure of the activities develops around some fundamental Montessori principles: - the content of the games follows a progressive complexity, to allow the child to become gradually familiar with it; - each activity has three progressive stages of learning: 1. presentation of the material through senses, 2. Recognition of the learning object material, 3. re-enactment of the material; the adult has a role of assistance and introduction to the various activities but the child can play independently the games; handling and practical experience have a central role: often is required you to glue stickers, cut, draw and finger paint.
