The Los Angeles–based design studio takes on its most ambitious project yet: an immersive installation inspired by nature and folk legendsAfter working for two decades in the realm of handcrafted sculpture, furniture and installations, designer David Wiseman (born 1981) has created a signature palette of various mediums. The unique mastery of these materials prepared Wiseman to embark on the largest and most cohesive exercise of his imagination thus far: a Gesamtkunstwerk in a Hong Kong apartment comprising of screens, furnishings, lighting, wall and floor treatments. Designed in conversation with two of Monet’s Water Lilies paintings held by the owner, the multidimensional space weaves motifs from the renowned Giverny gardens with ancient Chinese mythological narratives. This publication traces the journey of this “total work of art” from sketch to final installation, with detailed photography and captions on the production process for each material employed: bronze, porcelain, plaster and glass, as well as enamel, terrazzo and wool.

The arrival of two Agents of Summer has created a political nightmare, and the Agents themselves have ultimately suffered the consequences. Thanks to rumors that they are cursed by the gods, Ruri and Ayame were forced to break off their engagements when a wolf appeared on Mount Ryugu. Not to be deterred, they have arrived on the sacred mountain to meet the Archer of Twilight and solve the mystery themselves—but the shadows around the wolf go deeper than they know. Meanwhile, the conflict among the conservative and progressive factions within the Towns rages on, and various ulterior motives are at play.

Once upon a time, there was Winter. Winter was once the only season in the world-but such an existence was too lonely to bear, and so it created Spring to love. Before long, the earth wished for more time to rest in the cycle, and Summer and Autumn were born. The ones who carry the cycle are called the Agents of the Four Seasons. Hinagiku, the Agent of Spring, disappeared from this land ten years ago, taking the season of spring with her. Now, after incredible hardship, she has returned to restore the cycle to its proper state-and, as in the myth passed down since the dawn of time, she sends her love to Winter.

This collection of woodblock prints celebrates the seasons and is designed as a Japanese-style accordion-fold book with open binding and slipcased with a booklet for the text.Embracing seasonal change is an important part of Japan’s native belief system and an enduring theme of its creative expression. Japanese artists—including Hokusai, Hiroshige, Harunobu, and many others—have long celebrated the endless cycle and rhythm of nature and the fleeting transience and beauty of the seasons, depicting common customs from picnics welcoming spring under blossoming cherry trees to ritual offerings made to the autumnal harvest moon.The seasonal iconography includes recurring plant and wildlife elements: plum blossoms, irises, morning glories, cranes, geese flying in migratory formation. Some pictorial compositions focus upon a single time of year, but many encompass all four seasons together.This beautiful and elegant collection makes the ideal gift for anyone interested in the art and culture of Japan. The classic woodblocks in this collection express essential truths about the natural world and the evanescence of human experience in a visual idiom that, while distinctively Japanese, has great universal appeal.

A new and unique framework for understanding the history of the foreign policy of the United States.The United States is now nearly 250 years old. It arose from humble beginnings, as a strip of mostly agrarian and sparsely populated English colonies on the northeastern edge of the New World, far removed from the centers of power in Europe. Today, it is the world''s most powerful country, with its largest economy and most powerful military. How did America achieve this status?In The Four Ages of American Foreign Policy, Michael Mandelbaum offers a new framework for understanding the evolution of the foreign policy of the United States. He divides that evolution into four distinct periods, with each defined by the consistent increase in American power relative to other countries.

No gamble in history has been more momentous than the landfall of Columbus''s ship the Santa Maria in the Americas in 1492 - an event that paved the way for the conquest of a ''New World''. The accounts collected here provide a vivid narrative of his voyages throughout the Caribbean and finally to the mainland of Central America, although he still believed he had reached Asia. Columbus himself is revealed as a fascinating and contradictory figure, fluctuating from awed enthusiasm to paranoia and eccentric geographical speculation. Prey to petty quarrels with his officers, his pious desire to bring Christian civilization to ''savages'' matched by his rapacity for gold, Columbus was nonetheless an explorer and seaman of staggering vision and achievement.

Imagery and figuration are not just figments of an artist’s imagination. Perception and imagination are always shaped by what habit has taught us to discern. The visual path we spontaneously trace through the world depends on where we are situated in the four regions of the ontological archipelago: animism, naturalism, totemism or analogism. Each of these four regions corresponds to a way of conceiving the objects that make up the world, of perceiving the continuities and discontinuities in the folds of the world and of drawing the dividing lines between humans and nonhumans. From Alaskan Yup’ik masks and Aboriginal bark paintings to miniature landscapes from the Song dynasty and Dutch Golden Age interior scenes: each image reveals, through what it shows or fails to show, a certain figurative regime, identifiable by the formal means it uses and by the device through which it can unleash its power to act. The figurative regime enables us to grasp – sometimes better than words can – the contrasting ways of living that characterize the human condition and its relation to the nonhuman. By comparing a great diversity of visual images and artworks, Descola masterfully lays the theoretical foundations for an anthropology of figuration. ...

This is the story of how it happened and the people who made it happen.

As such these vessels are symbolic of the primacy of US seapower during the Cold War, and the preservation of all four of these mighty vessels as museum ships is testament not only to their enduring fascination, but also to the immense technical, financial, military and political resources wielded by the United States during the second half of the twentieth century.
