Firecrackers Bok
<b>A vivid showcase of work by more than thirty of the world's leading contemporary female documentary photographers.</b><br/><br/>The photographic industry - its exhibitions, galleries, publications and auctions - employs thousands of women, but champions mostly men. To begin to redress the balance, here is a timely presentation of the work of over 30 female photographers working today. This book is predominantly a celebration of some of the most inquisitive, intelligent and daring photography being created now. The stories the photographers tell are the most pressing social, political and personal issues seen through the female lens.<br/><br/>Firecracker, established in 2011 by Fiona Rogers, is a platform dedicated to supporting female photographers worldwide by showcasing their work. Building upon Firecracker's foundations, this book brings together photography that encompasses an eclectic variety of styles, techniques and locations, from Alma Haser's futuristic series of portraits that use origami to create 3D sculptures within the frame, to Laura El-Tantawy's filmic and intensely personal series on political protest in Cairo. There is a recurring theme throughout the book that serves to unite these extraordinary women and their work: the exploration of marginalized individuals and under-discussed subjects, seen by fresh eyes.<br/><br/>Fiona Rogers and Max Houghton offer insightful and expert authorship and curation. In their respective, well-established roles in the industry they understand, influence and advocate for contemporary documentary photography today.

<p>During the latter part of the nineteenth century, so-called esoteric movements became increasingly popular in cultural and intellectual circles in Europe, not least in Sweden. Secret teachings, rituals and practices in alchemy, astrology, occultism and theosophy were predominant, with a belief in correspondences in the cosmos, living nature and transmutations. But esotericism goes back much further in time in Swedish history. Although such esoteric ideas were long considered heresy by the Church and thus driven underground, they have had a significant impact on Swedish culture.</p><p>In this anthology, we bring together some of Sweden s foremost experts on the subject to explore the history of esotericism in Sweden and how its rituals, practices and traditions came to influence writers and artists such as August Strindberg, Selma Lagerlöf, Viktor Rydberg, Hilma af Klint, Tyra Kleen and Carl Milles.</p>

Architecture For Cars Bok
<p><b>A smooth ride through the golden age of car travel, looking at both its cultural and architectural impact on the world.</b></p><p>The culture of road travel and the road trip is arguably best reflected in the stationary spots found along the way. Christopher Beanland journeys through these built environments the world over, whose sole purpose is to cater to cars and those who drive them, and examines what makes them so alluring.</p><p>Illustrated with 65 stunning photographs, <i>Architecture For Cars</i> explores everything from the brutalist fashions of listed UK petrol stations to the quirky and colourful drive-thrus found across the US. If you're interested in the autobahn churches of Germany, why Ed Ruscha felt drawn to painting gas stations, or you just enjoy the aesthetics of car-centric architecture across the globe, this book is for you.</p><p>Also included are essays on wider topics such as roadside signs, drive-in malls and retail parks, cars on film, and roads that never were. This latest architectural deep-dive from Christopher Beanland focuses mainly on the 20th century, with an additional optimistic look towards the future: hopefully an electric vehicle-led existence will herald a new, greener 'golden age' for cars.</p>

<p>Arts & Crafts-rörelsen började som en motreaktion till industrialismen och de rådande stilidealen i Storbritannien vid 1800-talets mitt. De grundläggande idéerna hos dess anhängare, bland andra konstkritikern John Ruskin och konstnären William Morris, utvecklades till en global rörelse och spreds genom hantverkskolonier och influerade yrkesutövare på flera områden, från formgivning och arkitektur till ornamentik och odling. Rörelsen nådde Sverige några årtionden senare och tog sig uttryck som ett romantiserande av det enkla livet, knutet till hemmet. En av rörelsens frontfigurer i Sverige är Carl Larsson, vars färgrika målningar är kända för att skildra vardagslivets enkelhet. </p><p>I den här boken gör tolv författare nedslag i de hemmiljöer, konstskolor, museer och andra organisationer där idealen och visionerna skapades, tolkades och utvecklades. Vi får läsa om rörelsens fortsatta relevans för vår tid; inte bara som en älskad mönsterskatt som inspirerar och ligger till grund för nya stilar, utan även vårt förhållande till skapande, hållbarhetstänk och livsstil. Denna generöst bildsatta antologi finns även i svensk utgåva.</p>

Oasis The Masterplan Bok
<p><b>'All bands have a different style. I never thought Oasis had a look. Other people did and that's cool. But I'll put tunes over trainers every day. Trainers last for six months. The melodies live forever.' Noel Gallagher</b><br/><b><br/>'As iconic photographer, adventurous fan and inside eye-witness, Kevin Cummins has always been where the cultural action is.' Paul Morley</b><br/><br/><b>"Cummins, typical Manc, combining art with a good time, a sense of beauty, which explains the iconic shots of Liam and Noel in Man City shirts: memorable, defining images." - Miranda Sawyer, <i>Observer</i></b><br/><br/><b>'No one has captured the look of alternative UK music over the past half a century more tellingly than Kevin Cummins.' Simon Armitage</b><br/><br/>***<br/><br/>How does a band come into being? What are the myriad forces that shape their sound, look and identity? In 1993, Oasis signed to Creation Records and were shortly to begin recording their first album. The following year began with a masterplan - the creation of Oasis. At the centre of this enterprise was celebrated photographer Kevin Cummins, brought on board to help the band find a look that fitted their sound. In <i>Oasis: The Masterplan </i>we follow Cummins as he photographs the band as they cement their identity.<br/><br/>Noel Gallagher's thoughts on football, fashion and music and his recollections of that formative year sit alongside those of Cummins himself. Throughout, we see how Oasis played with fashion and were taught how to pose and present themselves as they approached the summer when their first album, <i>Definitely Maybe </i>was released. The story from that moment on is well-known. Featuring 75% previously unseen images the book reveals just how effective the masterplan was to get them to that point.</p>
