Beautifully illustrated with line drawings and photographs, engagingly presented, and richly detailed, this charming guide traces the architectural and social history of Manhattan one building at a time. The island of Manhattan has been through remarkable architectural and social change throughout its history. Organized roughly by neighborhoods, this book explores the seemingly never-ending depths of architectural, personal, and social history of Manhattan, building by building. Follow the family feud that led to the construction of the luxurious Waldorf Astoria, or trace the decay of a once proud home to an increasingly humble storefront, delving into the surprising, sometimes scandalous, often touching stories of the people who lived there along the way. Alongside the details about each architect, dates, and styles, author Tom Miller reveals the joys, tragedies, and scandals of those who lived within. In addition to iconic structures, the book includes many off-the-beaten-path buildings that most guidebooks overlook, as well as notable buildings that no longer stand but remain key to Manhattan’s architectural history. Beautifully researched, engagingly presented, and richly detailed, Seeking New York is truly a must-read for anyone interested in the story of New York and how it got that way.

About the Author:

Tom Miller moved to New York City in 1979 from Dayton, Ohio, bringing with him a passion for buildings. He currently holds the rank of deputy inspector within the NYPD’s Auxiliary Police Force. In 2009 he started a blog, Daytonian in Manhattan, which has now reviewed over a thousand buildings, statues, and other points of interest.

Wanda Ferragamo’s life is an opportunity to analyze the role of a woman at the head of an important entrepreneurial business during the economic boom.

This volume is being published on the occasion of the exhibition Women in Balance at the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo in Florence.

Wanda Miletti Ferragamo, wife of Salvatore Ferragamo, was an extraordinary figure who combined the traditional role of a woman devoted to her home and children with a commitment to work and business. Her individual story triggers profound reflections on how she honored her husband’s memory through her entrepreneurial, cultural, and social choices. These choices allowed her to outline a specific form of family business, which has long been considered a pinnacle of the Italian economy.

Her life was characterized by a strong dedication to work, and her role as a pioneering leader at the helm of an innovative company such as Salvatore Ferragamo provides an opportunity to explore and analyze the role of women in the years of Italy’s “economic miracle,” with a focus on issues such as household consumption and the influence of advertising.

Ginevra Visconti is the granddaughter of Wanda Ferragamo and daughter of Fulvia Visconti Ferragamo. Since 2014 she has worked as a freelancer for various media outlets in Italy and abroad, and she received a master’s degree from Bocconi University in Milan.

Taste and Place: The Design Hotels Book — це широке та інклюзивне дослідження їжі, невід’ємна частина цілеспрямованої подорожі.

У нашій найамбітнішій книзі ми закликали провідних письменників, фотографів, креативних шеф-кухарів і кулінарних новаторів вивчити перспективні ідеї та надихаючі практики щодо їжі в наших готелях, напрямках і ширшій спільноті. Містячи історії з готелів Rockhouse на Ямайці, Растрелло в Італії, Сатояма Джуджо в Японії та багатьох інших місць дизайн-готелів, ці історії виходять за межі страви, кухні та їдальні, щоб розкрити цілісний зв’язок їжі.

Ми виявили, що екосистема готелю, яка розглядається крізь призму їжі, створює ідеальний мікросвіт для кращого розуміння великих системних змін. У цій доволі особливій книзі ми в Design Hotels розмірковуємо про те, що ми можемо привнести в ці зміни з точки зору гостинності, яку ми підтримуємо та хочемо бачити в майбутньому. Детальніше про нашу подорож читайте тут.

Taste and Place: The Design Hotels Book містить історію про те, як створюється кухонне товариство в готелі Bursa в Києві, Україна. Через війну готель наразі був змушений закрити свої двері, але команда в безпеці та дала нам дозвіл на випуск книги. На знак нашої підтримки ми обіцяємо пожертвувати цьогорічний прибуток від онлайн-продажів на гуманітарні акції, запропоновані нашими двома українськими готелями-учасниками.

_________________

Ця впливова довідкова робота, яку шанують архітектори, дизайнери, ресторатори, власники готелів і креативні люди в усьому світі, містить вишукані зображення від провідних фотографів і експертні коментарі від найкращих світових письменників про кухню та кулінарних новаторів. Їхні історії виводять читача за рамки страви, кухні та їдальні, щоб дослідити цілісний зв’язок між їжею та місцевістю; його походження та виробництво; люди, ландшафт і архітектура. Від регіонального терруару, через кухню, до спільноти, історії, зібрані від експертів, які їх створили, детально описують їхні методи виробництва; трудові практики; та далекоглядну гостинність. Це ставить запитання, наприклад, як ми можемо подорожувати більш відповідально? Як готелі можуть зменшити свій вплив на навколишнє середовище? Як мандрівники можуть повернути більше, ніж взяти? Подорож із стародавнього острова Крит; через традиції швейцарських і японських гір; до передових кулінарних практик у Карибському басейні — кожен готель, представлений у цьому щорічному добірці, унікально вишуканий.

Майстерно виготовлені жіночі воскові моделі, які можна розчленувати, займають центральне місце в цьому тривожному томі для шанувальників макабр, моторошного та медичної історії.

Під оригінальною венеціанською скляною та палісандровою вітриною в музеї Ла Спекола у Флоренції лежить «Анатомічна Венера» Клементе Сузіні (близько 1790 р.), ідеальний об'єкт, чиє розкішно-химерне існування кидає виклик вірі. Вона – або, краще сказати, вона – була задумана як засіб для навчання анатомії людини без необхідності постійного розтину, який був брудним, етично складним та схильним до швидкого руйнування. Ця воскова жінка в натуральну величину прикрашена скляними очима та людським волоссям і може бути розчленована на десятки частин, що відкривають, нарешті, спокійний плід, що згорнувся в її утробі. Невдовзі по всій Європі з'явилися моделі-сестри, де вони не лише навчали студентів-спеціалістів, а й захоплювали широку публіку.

The Anatomical Venus – це оспівування цих жіночих воскових моделей та розкриття їхньої еволюції від воскової фігури до фетишної фігури та втілення моторошного. Сьогодні ці образи порушують межі наших чітких категоріальних розмежувань між життям і смертю, наукою та релігією, тілом і душею, опудалом і екстазом, видовищем і освітою, кітчем і образотворчим мистецтвом. Майстерно написаний куратором жахливого, прекрасного та духовного, це ретельно ілюстрований огляд цих анатомічних одалісок та культурного й мистецького перетину, в якому вони перебувають.

A 2019 Oprah's Favorite Things Pick

A gorgeous, large-format volume that shows each hand-drawn illustration in stunning detail.

A legendary and unsurpassed botanical masterwork. Considered a standard in many landscape architecture firms, the drawings, essays, and detailed charts are essential for large-scale landscaping projects and a helpful tool for backyard renovations. Landscape designers will think in new ways about the effect of seasons and the time of day on trees, and anyone interested in nature and trees will be captivated by the stunning illustrations.

Discover the story behind the award-winning rosé wines from Provence’s Château d’Esclans, which inspired the “rosé revolution.”

Château d’Esclans’s impressive estate extends across 660 acres in the heart of Provence, France. Dating back to the time of the Gauls, vines have grown on its lands for centuries. When its founder Sacha Lichine acquired the property in 2006, he was destined to shake up the wine world: he set out to create the best rosés and to forever transform their place in the collective imagination, from accessible rosés to ultra-premium, luxury wines.

Exquisitely photographed, the never-before-published images showcase the history and spirit of Château d’Esclans. From spectacular images of the vineyards throughout the seasons to an exploration of the wine-making process and the people behind it, this book invites readers to discover how rosé wines come to life, and how they embody the essence of summer insouciance and the Provençal art de vivre. Esclans’s most popular bottles — Whispering Angel, Rock Angel, Les Clans, and Garrus — are icons of contemporary oenology, beloved by celebrities and lauded by wine experts alike. An exclusive look into one of Provence’s most innovative wine-making estates, this is the perfect book for rosé enthusiasts everywhere.
