This official behind-the-scenes companion to Season Two of the hit Disney+ series The Mandalorian features exclusive concept art by the Lucasfilm Art Department and original interviews with the artists, writers, and filmmakers.  Foreword by Doug Chiang, Lucasfilm VP and executive creative director, and Academy Award winner  In The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two), Lucasfilm creative art manager Phil Szostak takes fans behind the scenes of the second season of the Emmy Award–winning Disney+ live-action Star Wars television series. Filled with concept art, character, vehicle, weapon, and creature designs, and interviews with key crew and creatives, including executive producer/showrunner/writer Jon Favreau and executive producer/director Dave Filoni, The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two) provides readers with an exclusive look at the stunning art and design work that helped bring new and returning characters and locations to life.  Season Two of The Mandalorian tracks the continuing adventures of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and the Child as they explore the far reaches of the Star Wars galaxy in an effort to return Grogu to his people and stay one step ahead of Moff GideonÂ’s (Giancarlo Esposito) Imperial remnant and squad of dark troopers. Alongside comrades from the first season, the duo encounters a cadre of new allies and forms tenuous alliances with former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), frontier marshal Cobb Vanth (Timothy Olyphant), fellow Mandalorians Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff) and Koska Reeves (Mercedes Varnado aka Sasha Banks), and fan-favorite bounty hunter Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison). In The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two), readers will encounter early visual and conceptual ideas for these new characters and their arsenal of weapons, ships, and armor, as well as the icy, lush, war-torn, and razed planets that serve as crucial stepping stones in Djarin and GroguÂ’s quest.  Returning for The Mandalorian Season Two, executive creative director Doug Chiang (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) and the incomparable group of artists, designers, and dreamers known as the Lucasfilm Art Department “visualists” undertook the challenge of continuing to push the boundaries of Star Wars storytelling while also translating Ahsoka Tano from animation to live action and updating the look of the legendary Boba Fett. The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two) is the only book to explore the artistic vision for this groundbreaking sophomore season, taking readers on a deep dive into the development of the next chapter of Din Djarin and GroguÂ’s story. Exclusive interviews with the filmmakers and the Lucasfilm visualists provide a running commentary on The MandalorianÂ’s innovative art and design, revealing the inspiration behind the look and feel of the series.  **SEASON TWO burst is a removable sticker** Â

On 28 February 2013, a 600-year-old tradition was shattered: the conservative Pope Benedict XVI made a startling announcement. He would resign. Reeling from the news, the College of Cardinals rushed to Rome to congregate in the Sistine Chapel to pick his successor. Their unlikely choice? Francis, the first non-European pope in 1,200 years, a one time tango club bouncer, a passionate football fan, a man with the common touch. From the prize-winning screenwriter of The Theory of Everything and Darkest Hour, The Pope is a fascinating, revealing and often funny tale of two very different men whose destinies converge with each other - they both live in the Vatican - and the wider world. How did these two men become two of the most powerful people on Earth?What's it like to be the Pope?What does the future hold for the Catholic Church and its 1 billion followers? The Pope is a dual biography that masterfully combines these two popes' lives into one gripping narrative. From Benedict and Francis' experiences of war in their homelands - when they were still Joseph and Jorge - and the sexual abuse scandal that continues to rock the Church to its foundations, to the intrigue and the occasional comedy of life in the Vatican, The Pope glitters with the darker and the lighter details of life inside one of the world's most opaque but significant institutions.

Tragedy and triumph often intertwine to create legends, and no figure embodies this more than María Eva Duarte de Perón, known to the world as Evita. From her humble beginnings in rural Argentina to her meteoric rise as First Lady, Eva Perón's life is steeped in myths of ambition, power, and transformation. In just six years, she became a symbol of Argentina's working class, a polarising figure who defied societal norms — and a fashion icon whose image remains influential today. This captivating exploration of Evita’s life uncovers the vital role of fashion in her rise to power. Eva’s style wasn’t just about appearances — it was a weapon in her political arsenal, a means of challenging Argentina’s elite while solidifying her image as a champion of the descamisados. Through her carefully curated wardrobe, Eva transcended the boundaries of class and gender, reshaping herself from a small-town girl into a symbol of Peronism and national pride. This book delves into the intersection of politics, society, and fashion, revealing how Eva’s choices in dress and image-making contributed to her lasting myth. Whether adored or reviled, her ability to craft and control her image set a high standard for future First Ladies and continues to spark debate long after her tragic death. To understand Evita’s myth, we must first understand the image she so masterfully created.
