His amazing, unprecedented collection of animals, plants and insects from all around the world gained international fame during his lifetime. In 1731, after decades of collecting, Seba commissioned illustrations of each and every specimen and arranged the publication of a four-volume catalog detailing his entire collection?from strange and exotic plants to snakes, frogs, crocodiles, shellfish, corals, insects, butterflies and more, as well as fantastic beasts, such as a hydra and a dragon. Seba's scenic illustrations, often mixing plants and animals in a single plate, were unusual even for the time. Many of the stranger and more peculiar creatures from Seba's collection, some of which are now extinct, were as curious to those in Seba's day as they are to us now. This reproduction is taken from a rare, hand-colored original. The introduction offers background information about the fascinating tradition of the cabinet of curiosities to which Seba's curiosities belonged.[via]More editions of Albertus Seba:Cabinet Of Natural Curiosities / Das Naturalien-Kabinett / Le Cabinet Des Curiosites Naturelles: Locupletissimi Rerum Naturalium Thesauri 1734-1765:

Archtecture Nowby Philip JodidioISBN 3822860654 (3-8228-6065-4)
Softcover, Taschen America Llc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Archtecture Now'Book summary:Der Erfolgsband Architecture Now aus dem Taschen Verlag hat Nachwuchs bekommen: Architecture Now 2 ist da und dem ersten Band in Gewicht, Ausstattung und in seiner architektonischen Bandbreite absolut ebenbürtig. Sogar das Motto ist immer noch gleich geblieben: "Zurück in die Zukunft" heißt es im Umschlag beider schwer gewichtigen Bände, die sich laut eigenen Worten auf "Die Suche nach einer neuen Architektur" begeben.
Auf den fast 600 dreisprachigen und reichlich mit Farbbildern ausgestatteten Seiten tauchen auch alte Bekannte aus Band eins wieder auf, beispielsweise Santiago Calatrava, Asymptote, Bernard Tschumi, Frank O. Gehry und Tadao Ando. Die vorgestellten Bauwerke aus allen Teilen der Welt sind allerdings nicht bekannt aus dem ersten Band, sondern brandneue, innovative und zum Teil noch gar nicht vollendete Architekturprojekte. Der Fokus bei der Auswahl liegt diesmal allerdings noch mehr auf der Zukunft und dem Experimentellen: Computergestütztes Design und auch nur komplett virtuell existierende Architektur kommen ebenso zum Zug wie funktionelles Bauen.
Der Herausgeber Philip Jodidio legt im Vorwort Wert darauf, dass auch ökologische, kostengünstige und an die Gegebenheiten angepasste Bauweisen vorgestellt werden und auch die Sanierung bestehender Gebäude thematisiert wird, da wir es in Zukunft massiv mit der Entscheidung abreißen oder sinnvoll sanieren zu tun haben werden. Für Jodidio ist und bleibt jedoch die Frage nach der Flexibilität eines Bauwerkes die alles entscheidende Frage in der Zukunft der Architektur: "Flexibilität und auch die Fähigkeit, sich funktionalen Notwendigkeiten und der Entwicklung der Zeit anzupassen, machen den grundlegenden Erfolg neuer Architektur aus."
Genau nach diesen Maßstäben sind die hier vorgestellten Projekte ausgewählt: von biologisch anmutender Gestaltung öffentlicher Gebäude bis hin zu minimalistischen Wohnhäusern ist alles dabei, was es an innovativer zeitgenössischer Architektur auf dem Globus gibt. Ein Muss also für jeden an Architektur Interessierten, ob Professional oder Laie, da es wohl in dieser Vollständigkeit kaum ein anderes Buch gibt. Und wer Band eins noch nicht kennt und nun noch ein paar Bilder sehen möchte, kann hier auch gleich einen Blick ins Buch werfen. --Gabi Bauer [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Berlin Apartments'Book summary:Ever since the "fall of the Wall", Berlin has witnessed an unprecedented surge in new and re-construction, particularly in the area around Potsdam and Paris Squares, where the Wall cut an enormous swath through the city's centre. Striking multi-billion dollar complexes built by corporations such as Sony and Daimler have helped revitalize Berlin, bringing it architecturally in step with the rest of the world. But alongside these monuments to capitalism, are equally exciting developments in the city's residential architecture. This book looks at a number of extraordinary living spaces designed by leading architects, featuring colour photographs, floor plans, descriptive texts and biographies of the designers. From new private houses that are as complex as they are luxurious, to the widely lauded and wildly creative gentrification of the drab, concrete blocks that once symbolized the stagnation of the GDR era, these private spaces reveal the insurgence of youthful energy, ideas and optimism of Berlin.

Candida Hofer Librariesby Candida HoferISBN 3829601867 (3-8296-0186-7)
Hardcover, Schirmer/Mosel Verlag Gmbh
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Candida Hofer Libraries'Book summary:For almost 30 years Candida Höfer has photographed interiors, mostly representational spaces accessible to the public, such as staircases, lobbies, reading halls or exhibition spaces. Rather than staging them, she takes their picture in the state she finds them, with great discreetness and a touch of humour.
Libraries are a book producers dream. Since nobody photographs libraries as beautifully as Höfer, it seemed only natural for Schirmer/Mosel to dedicate her next publication to the splendid and intimate cathedrals of knowledge across Europe and the US: the Escorial in Spain, the Whitney Museum in New York, Villa Medici in Rome, the Hamburg University library, the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris, the Museo Archeologico in Madrid, and Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, to name just a few. Almost completely devoid of people, as is Candida Höfers trademark, these pictures radiate a comforting serenity that is exceptional in contemporary photography. [via]

Fantasy Worldsby John Maizels, Angelika Taschen, Deidi Von SchaewenISBN 3822871907 (3-8228-7190-7)
Hardcover, Taschen America Llc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Fantasy Worlds'Book summary:Es fällt schwer, Fantasy Worlds mit Worten zu beschreiben. Unglaublich, poetisch, fantastisch, faszinierend... sind nur einige Begriffe, die jedoch nicht an das heranreichen, was sich den Leser/innen in diesem Buch offenbart. Über 20 Jahre hat die Fotografin Deidi von Schaewen recherchiert, um die vorgestellten 103 "Visionary Environments" aus der ganzen Welt dokumentieren zu können. Was sie fand, sind Traumwelten, die Geschichten erzählen: persönliche, religiöse und kulturelle Geschichten. Die wohl bekanntesten Künstler und Künstlerinnen, die "Visionary Environments" erschufen, sind Antoni Gaudí, Friedensreich Hundertwasser und Niki de Saint Phalle. Doch diese drei bilden nur die Spitze eines Eisberges. In diesem Buch trifft man auf die Werke von Menschen, die irgendwann in ihrem Leben anfingen, ihre Umgebungen zu gestalten und -- die meisten ohne künstlerische Ausbildung -- sich so eine intime, eigene Welt kreierten, die sie abschottete von der äußeren Realität.
Die Ergebnisse sind überwältigend: Namen wie "Paradise Garden", "Junk Castle", "Bottle Village" oder "Palais Ideal" lassen nur erahnen, welche märchenhaften und eindrucksvollen Welten sie hervorbrachten. Die Begleittexte sind auf Englisch, Deutsch und Französisch. Die Informationen sind kurz und knapp, und das reicht vollkommen, denn dieses Buch lebt von seinen Bildern, den Farben und den Geschichten, die diese Bilder erzählen.
Der Titel Fantasy Worlds hält, was er verspricht! Aus Muscheln, Keramik, Scherben, Glas, Steinen, Schrott, Holz, Weggeworfenem und Gefundenem wurden hier Häuser, Parks, Gärten, Grotten, Kirchen, Mosaike, Reliefs, Installationen und Plastiken geschaffen, die faszinieren, verzaubern und immer wieder in Erstaunen versetzen. Oft kann man innen nicht von außen unterscheiden, Decke nicht von Wand, Wand nicht von Möbel. Die Künstler/innen sind über die Grenzen der Fantasie hinaus gegangen. Denn darum geht es letztendlich: das grenzenlose Ausleben einer Leidenschaft, die zur Lebensaufgabe wird. Mehrere Jahrzehnte arbeiteten die Visionäre an ihren Schöpfungen -- wie der indische Beamte, der den Rock Garden von Chandigarh erschuf, ein "modernes Weltwunder".
Tipp der Rezensentin: Planen Sie ihren nächsten Urlaub zu einigen Plätzen, die hier vorgestellt werden. Im Anhang finden sich die Adressen aller öffentlich zugänglichen Orte. Entdecken Sie eine Kultur, über die man heute noch nicht spricht, die aber (hoffentlich) mit Hilfe dieses Buches in die Alltagskultur einfließen und größere Beachtung finden wird. --Sandra Neumayer [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Golden Age of Advertising, the 60s: The 60s'Book summary:Ads from the space age With the consumerist euphoria of the fifties still going strong and the race to the moon at its height, the mood of advertising in the sixties was cheerful, optimistic, and at times, revolutionary. The decade's ads touted perceived progress (such as Tang-?just add water?) while striving to reinforce good old American values. Stars like Raquel Welch, Sean Connery, Woody Allen, and Sammy Davis Jr. endorsed everything from sunglasses to bourbon to handmade suits in an attempt by Madison Avenue to urge Americans to open their wallets and participate in one giant consumer binge. Social change at the end of the era brought psychedelic swirls and liberated women and minorities to a newly conscious public. From forgotten cars such as the Studebaker Avanti, to cigarettes (?Marlboro... a man's world of flavor?) to food, clothing, consumer products, furniture, travel, and much more, this colorful collection of print ads explores the wide, wonderful world of 60s Americana.[via]More editions of The Golden Age of Advertising, the 60s: The 60s:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Moroccan Interiors'Book summary:[via]A temptation to dream This book explores contemporary interiors in the sun-soaked land that stretches from the Sahara to the Mediterranean: Morocco. The diversity is breathtaking: the rural pis? architecture of the south is a far cry from the Hispano-Mooresque ornamental beauty of the imperial cities. Moroccan Interiors are as endlessly varied as the country itself, from the restored palaces in the medina of Marrakesh (where aesthetes of the international set now live) to humble troglodyte fishermen's homes at Sidi Moussa d?Aglou. The colorful palette of this country and the light there themselves suffuse these very different homes with a vitality that is as distinctive to modern Morocco as it is a reflection of contemporary trends in d?cor worldwide. The author: Lisa Lovatt-Smith was born in 1967 in Barcelona of British parents. She has since lived in London, Madrid and Milan. At eighteen she began a meteoric career at the various international editions of Vogue. She has since decided to concentrate on writing in Paris, her chosen home, where she lives with her daughter.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth'Book summary:R. Buckminster Fuller's Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth, published in 1969, imagines our species as a crew, united by a shared fate, on a tiny spaceship traveling through infinity. It can be read even today as the most intelligent metaphor for thinking about humankind on this planet. Fuller accepted the challenge pre-sented by this metaphor, using his inventions and writings to contribute to the safe operations of Spaceship Earth.
This title is an exact facsimile of the 1969 edition. [via]

Speer: Eine Biographieby Joachim C. FestISBN 3828600638 (3-8286-0063-8)
Hardcover, Alexander Fest
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Speer: Eine Biographie'Book summary:Biographien zu Nazi-Größen gibt es viele, warum also diese hier besonders hervorheben? Zunächst, weil ihr Gegenstand Albert Speer eine Ausnahme innerhalb der Hitler-Gefolgsleute darstellt, denn Speer war kein reiner Opportunist wie viele andere Nazi-Oberen und hatte zudem eine tiefgehende persönliche Beziehung zu Hitler. Zum anderen, weil das Buch selbst in hervorragender Form Speers Lebensrätsel auf den Grund geht.
Speers Laufbahn begann als Architekt für die NSDAP, wo er rasch zum Liebling des baubegeisterten Hitler wurde. Bis heute ist Speer vor allem durch seine in nazi-typischer "Despotenarchitektur" entworfenen Gebäude bekannt, weswegen ihn die Nachkriegs-Öffentlichkeit eher selten mit nationalsozialistischen Terrortaten verband.
Doch bereits als "Generalbauinspektor" war Speer in Verbrechen verwickelt. Belegt ist die Beteiligung von Speers Behörde an der Umsiedlung von Juden und die Kenntnis des Amtschefs hierüber. Ein krasser Gegensatz zu früheren Äußerungen Speers, in denen er von den Verbrechen der Nazis nichts gewußt zu haben vorgab. Ab 1942 brachte Speer als Rüstungsminister dann die deutsche Wirtschaft unter Ausbeutung von Zwangsarbeitern auf Kriegskurs.
Zu den Unerklärlichkeiten in Speers Leben gehört seine Verweigerung des "Nero-Befehls" 1945, mit dem Hitler den Alliierten nur zerstörtes Land hinterlassen wollte. Dies und seine Übernahme einer "Gesamtverantwortung" ersparten Speer vermutlich das Todesurteil im Nürnberger Kriegsverbrecherprozeß und brachten ihm statt dessen 20 Jahre Inhaftierung ein.
Fest gelingt es, Speers "merkwürdig ungereimten Charakter" zu erfassen und diese "ambivalente Figur" nachzuzeichnen. Er offenbart eine Persönlichkeit, die gleichermaßen intelligent und realitätsnah wie schwärmerisch war. Sein Realitätsbezug war es wohl auch, der Speer 1966 in den Gesprächen mit Joachim Fest gewisse Dinge schlicht "vergessen" ließ und der die so entstandenen "Erinnerungen" in ein trübes Licht rückte. Fest kann mit diesem Band nun eine wirklich tiefgehende Biographie Speers nachreichen. --Joachim Hohwieler [via]
