The scandals, mysteries, and human stories behind the world’s greatest gems are brought to life by the curator of the Smithsonian’s National Gem Collection Dr. Jeffrey E. Post, curator of the National Gem Collection for more than 25 years, separates fact from fiction in an all-new and original book, revealing fresh information and regaling the reader with anecdotes and tales of some of the world’s greatest and most famous gemstones. Dr. Post is the author of the now out-of-print book The National Gem Collection (Abrams, 1997), which has sold more than 50,000 copies. In this brand-new book, he tells the stories of the Smithsonian’s most famous gems, including the Hope Diamond, Star of Asia Sapphire, Carmen Lucia Ruby, Hooker Emerald, and Blue Heart Diamond—and also presents the tales, details, and fascinating facts surrounding rarely displayed gems from the Smithsonian vault and additions made to the collection since 1997. Not only a resource for learning about rare and beautiful gems, the book also presents the stories of the people who once owned or were associated with these jewels—from ordinary people to kings, emperors, maharajas, celebrities, and captains of industry.

WINNER OF THE 2020 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN TRANSLATED LITERATUREA NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEARA surreal, devastating story of a homeless ghost who haunts one of Tokyo''s busiest train stations.Kazu is dead. Born in Fukushima in 1933, the same year as the Japanese Emperor, his life is tied by a series of coincidences to the Imperial family and has been shaped at every turn by modern Japanese history. But his life story is also marked by bad luck, and now, in death, he is unable to rest, doomed to haunt the park near Ueno Station in Tokyo. Kazu''s life in the city began and ended in that park; he arrived there to work as a laborer in the preparations for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and ended his days living in the vast homeless village in the park, traumatized by the destruction of the 2011 tsunami and shattered by the announcement of the 2020 Olympics.Through Kazu''s eyes, we see daily life in Tokyo buzz around him and learn the intimate details of his personal story, how loss and society''s inequalities and constrictions spiraled towards this ghostly fate, with moments of beauty and grace just out of reach. A powerful masterwork from one of Japan''s most brilliant outsider writers, Tokyo Ueno Station is a book for our times and a look into a marginalized existence in a shiny global megapolis.

Fotografie z pozostalosti Karola Divalda sú dnes v majetku viacerých galérií a múzeí vo Francúzsku, Maďarsku, na Slovensku i v Poľsku. Fotografie publikované v tejto knihe boli vydané v roku 1887 a poskytla nám ich Slovenská národná galéria Bratislava. Originálne fotografie s rozmerom 15,6 x 11,8 cm boli nalepené na kartónoch o veľkosti 30,6 x 23,7 cm. Pod každým obrázkom je opis fotografie uvedený v dvoch jazykoch – maďarčine a nemčine a vyhradené právo na rozmnožovanie a meno fotografa. Fotografie boli umiestnené v ozdobnom kufríku z hrubých lepenkových dosiek potiahnutých červeným knihárskym plátnom, na ktorom je zlatým písmom plastickou razbou uvedený titul v maďarčine a nemčine: A Magas Tátrából / Die Hohe Tatra, Ung. Karpathenverein (Maďarský karpatský spolok). Kufrík obsahoval 30 fotografií. Mal rozmery: výška 26,0 cm, šírka 33,2 cm, hĺbka 4,5 cm Titulná stránka v dvoch jazykoch obsahuje názov albumu a meno autora fotografií. Tu sú tiež publikované početné ocenenia získané autorom fotografie na rôznych výstavách od roku 1869. Samozrejme, naše vydanie doznalo niekoľko zmien, daných nielen možnosťami súčasnej techniky, ale aj snahou umožniť širšej verejnosti mať v svojej knižnici doma nádherné Divaldovy fotografie. Vydanie v pôvodnej podobe v kufríkoch by bolo nákladné a v obmedzenom počte. Publikácia je teda v pevnej väzbe, pričom na obálke je obrázok pôvodného balenia fotografií. Originálna veľkosť fotografií je zachovaná a pridali sme aj popisky fotografií v slovenskom a anglickom jazyku. Zároveň uvádzame aj niekoľko životopisných dát o autorovi, Karolovi Divaldovi. ------------------------ Photographs from Karol Divald's estate are now owned by several galleries and museums in France, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland. The photographs published in this book were published in 1887 and provided to us by the Slovak National Gallery in Bratislava. The original photographs measuring 15.6 x 11.8 cm were pasted on cartons measuring 30.6 x 23.7 cm. Below each image is a description of the photograph in two languages – Hungarian and German together with the reserved reproduction right and the name of the photographer. The photographs were placed in a decorative case made of thick cardboard plates covered with red book cloth, on which the title in Hungarian and German is engraved in gold lettering: A Magas Tátrából / Die Hohe Tatra, Ung. Karpathenverein (Hungarian Carpathian Association). The case contained 30 photographs. Its dimensions were: height 26.0 cm, width 33.2 cm, depth 4.5 cm The title page in two languages contains the title of the album and the name of the author of the photographs. Numerous awards won by the author of photography at various exhibitions since 1869 are also published here. Of course, our edition has undergone several changes, due not only to the possibilities of current technology, but also to the effort to allow the general public to have Divald's beautiful photographs in their library at home. An issue in its original form in cases would be expensive and limited in number. The publication is therefore in hardcover, while the cover contains a picture of the original package of photographs. The original size of the photos has been preserved and we have also added photo captions in Slovak and English. At the same time, we present here some biographical data about the author, Karol Divald.

The USA is one of the most varied and fascinating countries in the world. Its areas of natural beauty such as the Pacific Coast, the Yosemite National Park, and Monument Valley are the stuff of great cinema (Hollywood finds its best settings practically in its backyard). For everyone who explores the USA beyond its big cities on a classic road trip, on the trail of Native Americans and pioneers, in the mountains or by lakes and beaches, unforgettable moments are guaranteed.In Great Escapes USA, Angelika Taschen presents remarkable places to stay through impressive photography, entertaining texts, and practical details on how to get there, prices, and tips for books and films. Her journey starts on the East Coast, where intellectuals and artists once met in idyllically located country houses such as the Twin Farms in Vermont and Troutbeck in New York State. It continues to the South, where The Moorings Village and Hotel Peter & Paul, for example, tell of the history of Florida and Louisiana, and Southern belles such as the Commodore Perry Estate in Austin, Texas reveal their glamor.Dunton Hot Springs, once a miners' camp in Colorado, now transformed from a ghost town to an upscale rustic resort, lies on the route, just like the urban utopia that is Arcosanti in Arizona, conceived by the architect Paolo Soleri in the 1970s. The trip comes to a wonderful conclusion in California with unique hotels such as Deetjen's Big Sur Inn, where many famous writers have stayed in the Norwegian-influenced wooden cabins, laid-back motels like The Surfrider Malibu, which is all about the California dream, and heavenly destinations for gourmets, for example SingleThread in Sonoma County with its three Michelin stars.The photography in this opulent publication presents hotels in the tradition of great architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright as well as the work of young contemporary designers and buildings in the typical American mid-century style. A horse ranch, a glamping site, even a hippie bathhouse and vintage mobile homes are also included - places as varied as the USA itself!
