A trove of insights into and images of an important, little-known Frank Lloyd Wright building  The house that Frank Lloyd Wright designed for Frederick C. and Katherine G. Bogk in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1916 occupies a unique position in Wright’s career: it is the only fully realized house designed in the teens that demonstrates his fascination with Primitivism, the use of non-Western sources as an inspiration for modern design. This book traces Wright’s exploration alongside the stories of an immigrant family’s rise and Milwaukee’s emergence as a vibrant city. It also documents the interiors, relatively unchanged for over a century, that represent Wright’s approach to total design.  Written by two eminent architectural historians and Wright scholars, Anthony Alofsin and Richard L. Cleary, this book offers new insight into the evolution of Wright’s design process during the least understood decade of his career. The book draws on a fascinating cache of unpublished letters, photographs, drawings, and documents in the private archive of the Elsner family, who owned the house from 1955 to 2023. The book also features new photography of the Bogk House by Alexander Vertikoff, renowned for his use of natural light.  Distributed for Frank Lloyd Wright’s Burnham Block, Inc.

Acclaimed as the “father of skyscrapers”, the quintessentially American icon Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959) was an architect of aspiration. He believed in giving cultivated American life its fitting architectural equivalent and applied his idealism to structures across the continent, from suburban homes to churches, offices, skyscrapers, and the celebrated Guggenheim Museum. Wright’s work is distinguished by its harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture, and which found its paradigm at Fallingwater, a house in rural Pennsylvania, cited by the American Institute of Architects as “the best all-time work of American architecture”. Wright also made a particular mark with his use of industrial materials, and by the simple L or T plan of his Prairie House which became a model for rural architecture across America. Wright was also often involved in many of the interior elements of his buildings, such as the furniture and stained glass, paying particular attention to the balance between individual needs and community activity. Exploring Wright’s aspirations to augment American society through architecture, this book offers a concise introduction to his at once technological and Romantic response to the practical challenges of middle-class Americans. The author Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer became Frank Lloyd Wright’s apprentice at the Taliesin Fellowship in 1949. In 1957, he attended the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, returning in 1958 to continue his apprenticeship with Wright until his death in 1959. He remains at Taliesin to this day, as director of the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives, a vice-president of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, and author of numerous publications on Wright's life and work. The editor Peter Gössel runs an agency for museum and exhibition design. He has published TASCHEN monographs on Julius Shulman, R. M. Schindler, John Lautner, and Richard Neutra as well as several architecture titles in the Basic Art Series.

Richard Wright''s memoir of his childhood as a young black boy in the American south of the 1920s and 30s is a stark depiction of African-American life and a powerful exploration of racial tension.‘A compelling indictment of life in the Deep South between the wars’ Daily Telegraph At four years old, Richard Wright set fire to his home in a moment of boredom; at five his father deserted the family; by six Richard was - temporarily - an alcoholic. It was in saloons, railroad yards and streets that he learned the facts about life, about fear, hunger and hatred, while his mother''s long illness taught him about suffering. In a world of white hostility and subjugation it would be his love of books and pursuit of knowledge that would propel him to follow his dream of justice and opportunity in the north.A chronicle of coming of age under the racial prejudices of the American south, as much the story of a writer finding his voice, Black Boy remains one of the great, impassioned memoirs of the twentieth century.

This book tells the story of the Lovell Health House in Los Angeles, designed and built by Richard Neutra from 1927 to 1929, from its inspiration through its construction to its impact. It was a ‘demonstration house’: widely documented and written about in leading architectural journals when it was built. These publications elevated the house to the status of an icon in the history of modernism and an essential work of the international modern movement, from Berlin to Tokyo and Paris to Milan, at the high point of its influence and fame. The Lovell Health House helped to launch the international career of one of the central figures of 20th-century architecture, pioneered the use of concrete and steel in the dwelling, radically advanced the ideals of hygienic, carefree, and open-air living, and explored new relationships between space, structure, the natural world, and physical and psychological well-being. The book includes new texts by Edward Dimendberg, Crosby Doe, and Nicholas Olsberg, a chronology by Thomas Hines, historic texts by Willard D. Morgan and Richard Neutra, and specially commissioned colour photographs by Grant Mudford. At the heart of the book are six narrated portfolios of visual and textual documentation on the background, design, making, circulation, reception and resonance of this seminal house. Including photography by Willard Morgan in which he documents every stage of construction to the building's completion, this published imagery was exceptionally rich, refined, varied, widespread, and influential.

*THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER & #2 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*From eldest daughter Shari Franke, the shocking true story behind the viral 8 Passengers family vlog – now the subject of a new Disney+ docuseries – and the hidden abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother, and how, in the face of unimaginable pain, she found freedom and healing. Shari Franke’s childhood was a constant battle for survival. Her mother, Ruby Franke, enforced a severe moral code while maintaining a façade of a picture-perfect family for their wildly popular YouTube channel 8 Passengers, which documented the day-to-day life of raising six children for a staggering 2.5 million subscribers. But a darker truth lurked beneath the surface – Ruby’s wholesome online persona masked a more tyrannical parenting style than anyone could have imagined. As the family’s YouTube notoriety grew, so too did Ruby’s delusions of righteousness. Fueled by the sadistic influence of relationship coach Jodi Hildebrandt, together they implemented an inhumane and merciless disciplinary regime. Ruby and Jodi were arrested in Utah in 2023 on multiple charges of aggravated child abuse. On that fateful day, Shari shared a photo online of a police car outside their home. Her caption had one word: 'Finally'. For the first time, Shari will reveal the disturbing truth behind 8 Passengers and her family’s devastating involvement with Jodi Hildebrandt’s cultish life coaching program, 'ConneXions'. No stone is left unturned as Shari exposes the perils of influencer culture and shares for the first time her battle for truth and survival in the face of her mother’s cruelty.What readers are saying about The House of My Mother: - ​‘A must read’ - ‘I devoured this book in two days.

“[A] page-turning story” – Times Literary Supplement“Eye-opening” – Michael Billington“A detailed and highly compelling story that involves so much more than bricks and mortar.” – The Stratford HeraldIn the wide realm of Shakespeare worship, the house in Stratford-upon-Avon where William Shakespeare was born in 1564 – known colloquially as the ‘Birthplace’ – remains the chief shrine. It’s not as romantic as Anne Hathaway’s thatched cottage, it’s not where he wrote any of his plays, and there’s nothing inside the house that once belonged to Shakespeare himself. So why, for centuries, have people kept turning up on the doorstep? Richard Schoch answers that question by examining the history of the Birthplace and by exploring how its changing fortunes over four centuries perfectly mirror the changing attitudes toward Shakespeare himself.Based on original research in the archives of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-upon-Avon and the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, and featuring two black and white illustrated plate sections which draw on the wide array of material available at the Folger Shakespeare Library and the Victoria and Albert Museum, this book traces the history of Shakespeare’s birthplace over four centuries. Beginning in the 1560s, when Shakespeare was born there, it ends in the 1890s, when the house was rescued from private purchase and turned into the Shakespeare monument that it remains today.

Radujem sa zo slovenského vydania knihy AKO SA BOH STAL KRÁĽOM. Teším sa, že po knihe Prekvapení nádejou sa toto dielo dostáva na Slovensko.Táto kniha je o tom, ako sme nepochopili evanjeliá. Buď sme sa nechali zlákať jasnými odkazmi vyznaní viery a zabudli sme na veľký príbeh Izraela a Božieho kráľovstva, alebo sme sa nadchli kráľovstvom, ktoré vyjadruje Božiu vášeň pre nápravu sveta, no nedali sme ho do súladu s vtelením a smrťou Božieho syna. Božie kráľovstvo a Ježišovo ukrižovanie - tieto dve témy sú v evanjeliách úplne prepletené, ale ich spojenie nám akosi nejde.Jadrom posolstva evanjelií je príbeh, AKO SA BOH STAL KRÁĽOM - teda niečo, čo Boh už urobil a dosiahol skrze Ježiša. Boh preto dokončí svoj zámer, ako zasľúbil, a naplní svet svojou láskou a slávou. Takáto vízia má potenciál dodať odhodlanie pre prácu evanjelia novej generácii. Mojou nádejou a modlitbou je, aby k tomu táto kniha prispela aj na Slovensku.Tom Wright"Neviem o nikom inom, kto by lepšie prenášal múdrosť historického kresťanstva do dnešnej doby ako N. T. Wright."- John Ortberg, kazateľ a autor mnohých bestsellerov"Vynikajúci biskup Wright a jeho dielo je pre našu upadajúcu západnú cirkev jeden z najlepších Božích darov."- J. I. Packer, profesor teológie na Regent College vo Vancouveri a známy autor N. T. Wright (1948) je popredný novozmluvný teológ a svetový odborník na dejiny raného kresťanstva. V súčasnosti pôsobí ako profesor Novej zmluvy a raného kresťanstva na Teologickej fakulte Univerzity St. Andrews v Škótsku. Tom Wright v minulosti slúžil ako biskup diecézy Anglikánskej cirkvi v Durhame a pôsobil na význačných univerzitách v Oxforde, Cambridgi, McGille v Toronte a iných. Napísal viac ako 35 odborných a populárnych kníh a okrem knihy Ako sa Boh stal kráľom vyšli v slovenskom preklade aj jeho knihy Prekvapení nádejou a Jednoducho kresťan. V edícii životopisov velikánov kresťanského myslenia z dielne Porta libri vyjde v roku 2020 aj Wrightov obsiahly životopis PAVOL, v ktorom zhrnul svoj celoživotný výskum apoštola Pavla a jeho teológie. N. T. Wright svojím vplyvom ďaleko prekročil hranice vlastnej anglikánskej tradície a jeho dielo s veľkým záujmom čítajú ľudia z protestantského aj katolíckeho prostredia.

Richard C. Schwartz je tvůrcem směru zvaného terapie systémů vnitřní rodiny (IFS). Lidská psychika se podle něj vyznačuje existencí vnitřních částí, které se někdy projevují extrémními způsoby (zneužívání látek, disociace, sebepoškozování, perfekcionismus, posedlost vzhledem, vyhýbání se konfliktům a mnoho dalších). Tím, že se klient naučí těmto částem naslouchat, se jejich projevy stávají méně destruktivními a začíná se u nich projevovat důvod, proč původně vznikly – aby jedinci prospívaly. Předkládaný manuál poskytuje vodítka pro práci s klienty, kteří zažili trauma, narušení vazby a různé další psychické obtíže. Stručně a přehledně předkládá kazuistiky, techniky, přehledy, tipy, diagnostické postupy a cvičení terapeutům různých směrů. Metoda IFS je zakotvená v neurovědách, využívá přirozené vnitřní zdroje klienta a podporuje to, aby k sobě člověk zaujímal soucitný postoj. Kniha je určena pro psychoterapeuty či klienty, kteří se chtějí inspirovat metodou IFS.

An inside look at the most successful president of modern times.What makes a good White House memoir? The right mix of personal stories, insight on the president, discussion of policy and historical events, and crazy, colorful anecdotes that capture the reader’s attention. Inside the Reagan White House has all this—plus a vivid take on the Reagan assassination attempt, , Gorbachev and the Reykjavik summit, Ollie North and the Contras, , the 1988 Bush-Dukakis contest—and other critical moments of that era. Original insight on Ronald Reagan, as well as discussions of cabinet members and others, are interspersed with personal anecdotes, off-hand comments, and unique family details that historians and general readers will love. On the colorful side, the action moves from movie stars to Soviet spies to (literal) knife fights, neo-Nazis, plain old Nazis, intimate affairs, fights on planes, and con men chased by INTERPOL. And at the heart of the story are the thousands of dedicated, patriotic Americans who helped Ronald Reagan as he worked to push back against the Soviet Union, promote democracy, improve trade, lower taxes, and reduce the size and scope of government.

Artist Daphne Wright is fascinated with the collections of the Ashmolean Museum and the history of seeing they present. Her latest project grows out of a lifetime’s engagement with this theme. Much of Wright’s existing body of work is steeped in a deep understanding of the iconography and history of Western art, as represented in the Ashmolean’s extensive collection. This book establishes connections to the Ashmolean’s rich collection of 17th century Dutch Still Life paintings. These genre paintings portray a range of subjects from arrangements of flowers to fruit, fish and game. Sometimes the paintings include a symbolic reference to the transience of life, in the form of fruit that has begun to rot or flowers that are losing petals. In Fridge Still Life, the exposed body of a fridge, containing upon its shelves a raw chicken and bundle of asparagus, is topped with a vase of wilting tulips. This is a contemporary re-telling of a still life painting, with its various familiar elements, such as a brace of hanging pheasants, a bowl of fruit and a vase of blooms, with can connote status or vanitas. Wright has explored the transitory nature of life throughout her practice. In previous work, Wright has used plants and animals, with their shorter life spans, to stand in for the human. Wright’s work also resonates strongly with the Ashmolean’s extensive and celebrated cast collection. Prominent amongst the plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculptures are the gods and heroes of Homeric legend. These idealised images of men still form the basis of our ideas of masculinity today. With Sons on Couch Wright is seeking to capture the elusive moment of transition into manhood. The athletic figures in the cast court may have been updated to social media influencers, but the pressure young men face today to achieve a perceived ideal body type remain the same.

And are we really in the post-truth age?John Lloyd answers these questions and more in this panoramic survey of the global news media.
