The Search for Father in Oneself
Jess Maghan
Photographs by Sam Lindberg

A luminous series of brief, paired biographies/autobiographies of fathers and children from every walk of life, accompanied by an archival photograph of the father and contemporary portraits of each son or daughter by famed photographer, Sam Lindberg. Using “forced field writing,” adapted from the work of psychologist Kurt Lewin, Jess Maghan has drawn eloquence from these non-professional writers that astounded even themselves. He wants the reader “to tap into the familiar yearning all sons and daughters have to connect with the man anchored to the very center of their being. The man we call father.”

No opportunity was overlooked to flaunt wealth and status in Italian palazzi. From the Middle Ages these buildings, often family residences, incorporated anything from phantasmagoric ballrooms and theaters, to intimate salons which attracted illuminati and patrons of the arts, who could bask in the work of the most talented and passionate artists and architects of their time.

This gorgeous volume leads us century by century, from the 1300s to 1900, through the palaces of Colonna, Farnese, and Altemps, where, within their secret rooms, the papal throne was disputed throughout the Middle Ages...

Ever since the advent of Modernism, the rebirth in Italy of classical Greek and Roman styles remains the basis for most modern architecture. Marco Bussaghi’s vast pictorial survey of Italian Rennaissance architecture reveals, with lush photographs, contemporary architectural drawings, maps and models, how geniuses such as Palladio Brunelleschi, and Alberti achieved perfect integration of their buildings with surrounding landscapes. Stunning interiors, such as those of the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, the Chiesa di San Bernardino in Urbino, and the Palazzo Farnese are all detailed with full-color photographs which beautifully capture the decor.
60s Lifestyle in Rome
Edited by The Scala Group
The economic boom helped to encourage new fashions, fun and rejection of the rules. American films depicted and at the same time acted as a catalyst for this vast social mosaic. The unknown Turkish dancer Aiche Nana performed her legendary impromptu striptease at the Rugantino restaurant in Rome and the majors from the USA moved the sets for their blockbusters to the city, that was not only historical and hospitable, but also offered very low production costs. “Spartacus” and “Ben-Hur” created some momentum. Via Veneto filled up with stars, nobles...

The Pioneers of Everest
Edited by Yves de Chazournes
Photographs from the Royal Geographical Society, London

Mountains have left mankind awestruck since the beginning of time, with their beauty, mystery, danger, and spiritual appeal. The most forbidding of these, named after George Everest, who undertook in 1823 to survey the Himalayan mountain chain, has become the dernier cri for anyone adventurous (or crazy) enough to challenge the most inhospitable place on earth (also known as “The Third Pole”), the highest mountain on earth.

Unless we’re actual combatants, the lens through which we view war is almost always that of the war correspondent, using either images, or words, or both. Here is an oversized volume which portrays in stark, and often horrifying detail how wars were documented over the past two centuries, since the dawn of photography. Graphics, propaganda posters, newspaper headlines, and other ephemera are liberally interspersed, as are seldom seen photos of lesser known wars.
