A global exploration of the many writing systems that are on the verge of vanishing, and the stories and cultures they carry with them.

If something is important, we write it down. Yet 85% of the world's writing systems are on the verge of vanishing - not granted official status, not taught in schools, discouraged and dismissed.

When a culture is forced to abandon its traditional script, everything it has written for hundreds of years - sacred texts, poems, personal correspondence, legal documents, the collective experience, wisdom and identity of a people - is lost.

This Atlas is about those writing systems, and the people who are trying to save them. From the ancient holy alphabets of the Middle East, now used only by tiny sects, to newly created African alphabets designed to keep cultural traditions alive in the twenty-first century: from a Sudanese script based on the ownership marks traditionally branded into camels, to a secret system used in one corner of China exclusively by women to record the songs and stories of their inner selves: this unique book profiles dozens of scripts and the cultures they encapsulate, offering glimpses of worlds unknown to us - and ways of saving them from vanishing entirely.

About the Author:

Tim Brookes is universally regarded as the pioneer and authority in the field of script loss and revitalization on a global scale. Tim's hand-carvings of endangered scripts have been exhibited at over 150 leading universities, galleries and libraries. He is a frequent speaker on the importance of minority scripts at institutions including the Bodleian Library, the Smithsonian Institute and the Library of Congress.

Join two of the world’s most celebrated designers, Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen, as they share the inspirations and stories behind their life and work in London, the English countryside, and beyond

Entertaining in town and country is an essential part of the life and work of design gurus Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen — as revealed in this personal and sumptuously illustrated book. Inviting us to share in a typical week, Moschino and Vergeylen guide us through their West Sussex and London homes in a lively exploration of design, lifestyle, and inspiration, alongside a look at some recent client projects — from a Balinese-style compound in the Caribbean to a palatial villa in Sicily. 

Featuring guest rooms, an office, and formal gardens, the duo’s home in West Sussex is more than simply a weekend escape. It is the perfect space for a combined lifestyle of relaxing, entertaining, and working. The London apartment, too, is witness to many a stylish dinner for clients and friends, characterized by an infectious delight in ever-changing table-settings. A selection of recipes is included to accompany entertaining-related stories. 

With imagery from some of the design world’s best photographers, this beguiling volume invites you to enjoy an intimate experience of beauty, adventure, and the unexpected.

About the Authors:

Born and raised in Italy, Paolo Moschino came to London at the age of 23. He now leads the award-winning firm Paolo Moschino Ltd, an international brand encompassing interior design, furnishings and fabric. With three interior design showrooms in London, the firm continues to evolve.

Style icon India Hicks's charming take on entertaining, featuring dreamy tablescapes, found centerpieces, and enjoyable family anecdotes.

Daughter of the late David Hicks and goddaughter to Prince Charles, India Hicks is known for her irreverent take on style. In her previous books, she invited readers into her homes on Harbour Island and in England. For her third book, India presents her own slightly madcap spin on entertaining. Organized by meal, the book begins marvelously with the most important meal of the day -- cocktail hour -- and ends with breakfast. In between, there are family suppers and big dinners, birthday cakes and Christmas crackers, great British breakfasts, quick teas and long lunches, mustard pots as vases, and bedcovers for tablecloths. Like India, these stories are full of personality, from the Panic Dinner (or what to do when you suddenly have a crowd descending) to the Naked Cake (cake decorating for the harried or untalented) to a White Christmas in the Bahamas.

Each celebration includes clever advice and inspiration for place settings, homemade flower arrangements, table design, and more. These are parties that make use of what is on hand, whether it's beach towels thrown down a long table, children's candy piled in cups on a tray, or massing palm fronds collected from the lawn. Beautifully photographed and embellished here and there with a bit of Hicks family lore, the book is rounded out with a sprinkling of recipes from India's beloved cook, Claire Williams, fondly known as Top Banana, and other family members, from traditional English fare such as Victoria Sponge to tropical treats such as the Marquess's Banana Daiquiri.

About the Authors:

Author, model, entrepreneur, TV personality, and daughter of famed designer David Hicks, India Hicks comes from both British and design royalty. Her godfather is the Prince of Wales, and India was a bridesmaid at his wedding to Lady Diana.

In this stunning book, one of the world’s leading Asian art dealers reveals her passion project ― collecting French haute couturefrom the twentieth century and telling the stories of the women who wore them.

An Eye for Couture presents and explores Francesca Galloway’s collection of 20th-century haute couture and fashion, built over a period of thirty-five years. The book includes an outstanding group of over 100 pieces, concentrating of the work of couturiers who shaped fashion and whose pieces embodied the zeitgeist of their time. Among those featured in this book are Paul Poiret, Gabrielle Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Christian Dior and Paco Rabanne.

These garments and accessories come to life through the women who wore them. Denise Poiret ― Paul’s muse, collaborator and model ― is the subject of a specially commissioned essay. So is Princess Niloufer of Hyderabad, known as one of the most beautiful women in the world. She was photographed by Horst P. Horst for Vogue in 1939 and used her status to campaign for women’s rights. The book also looks at the 1960s as a period where designers such as Paco Rabanne and Yves Saint Laurent were shaping ideas of the future, as well as the influence of Eastern design on haute couture.

One of the world’s leading Asian Art dealers in Indian painting, courtly arts and Asian textiles, Francesca Galloway has curated many exhibitions and produced numerous publications on these subjects since the 1980s. With a curatorial perspective and an eye for design innovators and revolutionaries, an appreciation for the highest artistry and a sensibility for the influence of eastern design on haute couture, she has assembled a collection spanning more than one hundred pieces. The book’s striking imagery is the result of a collaboration between a fashion photographer, set designer and costume conservator/dresser. The images are positioned between haute couture and still life photography to bring these pieces of fashion history to life.

Anatomica discusses how for centuries, humankind has sought to know itself through an understanding of the body, in sickness and in health, inside and out. This fascination left in its wake a rich body of artworks that demonstrate not only the facts of the human body, but also the ways in which our ideas about the body and its proper representation have changed over time. At times both beautiful and repulsive, illustrated anatomy continues to hold our interest today, and is frequently referenced in popular culture. 

Anatomica brings together some of the most striking, fascinating and bizarre artworks from the 16^th through to the 20th century, exploring human anatomy in one beautiful volume.

The Ancient Egyptians used a hieroglyphic writing system that still resonates today for its graphic representation of things, people, pharaohs and concepts.

These hieroglyphics were discovered by adventurers and archaeologists in temples, tombs and on papyrus documents, telling of the everyday life, religion and history of this 5,000-year-old civilisation.
Some of the symbols were simple but represented something with a wider significance, such as the eye of Horus; other logograms might represent an animal, such as a snake, elephant or lion; while others, such as the Ba symbol of a bird with a human head, represented the human soul with the ability to travel to the afterlife using wings.

In Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs Illustrated, explore the logograms for popular concepts such as ‘sun’, ‘house’ and ‘mountain’, as well as more complex ideas such as Ajet, or ‘sun rising over mountains’; marvel at Tutankhamun’s full name as marked on his tomb, which is portrayed using a reed, a wave of water, a falcon, an ankh symbol, and a series of staffs; learn about the two outstretched arms of the Ka symbol, which represents the mortal life and soul of a person; and wonder at the Ouroboros, a symbol that shows a snake-like animal that swallows its own tail, representing eternal struggle.

Each of more than 150 entries includes a description of the written form and an explanation of its meaning.

Presented in a high-quality Chinese-bound format with accompanying illustrations, Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs Illustrated provides a compact, easy-to-understand introduction to the writing system of Ancient Egypt.

About the Author:

The father of modern jewellery, the golden engineer, the King of Bling… These are just some of the epithets assigned to Andrew Grima, the British genius who marched in the vanguard of a 1960s London-based movement that created a new vocabulary for jewellery design.

Jeweller to the royals and the jet set, to the rule makers and the tastemakers, Grima was a feted celebrity who appeared on talk shows, in Pathé newsreels and in advertisements for Canada Dry. He won The Queen’s Award for Export, The Duke of Edinburgh’s Prize for Elegant Design and a record 11 De Beers Diamonds International Awards (the ‘Oscars’ of the jewellery world).

This book illuminates the career of a man who participated in a golden age of British creativity. It contains a dazzling array of never-before-seen sketches, designs and photographs from the Grima archives and includes a sparkling preface from the doyen of jewellery experts, TV celebrity Geoffrey Munn. A must-buy publication for art and jewellery lovers alike.

“Since discovering the work of Andrew Grima, I have not only become a collector of his exquisite creations, I have also become one of the many to be inspired by his unique and inimitable designs. Each piece of jewellery, each watch, each object is a sculpture.” – Marc Jacobs

 “His work, his style, is completely identifiable, it’s unique.” – James Taffin de Givenchy

- The first major monograph on Andrew Grima, arguably Britain's greatest jewellery maestro
- A glittering retrospective that encompasses Andrew Grima's life, career and legacy
- Detailed pictures demonstrate Grima's impeccable artistry as a modernist designer
- Preface by TV celebrity and Antiques Roadshow expert, Geoffrey Munn
