1000 Chairsby Charlotte Fiell, Peter FiellISBN 382284103X (3-8228-4103-X)
Softcover, Taschen America Llc

› Find signed collectible books: '1000 Chairs'Book summary:Sleek, stuffed, buttoned, or bent, in the den or the dining room, the chair is an indicator of its owner's identity. Chairs make up much of the interior landscape of our homes and workplaces, and a comfortable chair is considered a great asset in either location. A rigorous survey of the last 150 years of chairs, 1000 Chairs is a pictorial guide to the axiom "you are where you sit." Writers Charlotte and Peter Fiell argue that, as well as being an icon of identity, the chair is a form through which designers engage in social, political, and even ergonomic rhetoric. A good example is George Nelson's mass-produced modular seating system. Geometrical in design, its austere, mostly rectilinear lines are efficient and economical. The book follows developments and mutations in chair design from the days before art deco through the rise of modernity and into the mid-'90s, when designers like Philippe Starck used such materials as recycled plastic and injection molded polypropylene.
In total there are more than the 1000 advertised illustrations, and each is accompanied by a small text describing the significance of the chair and its designer. The book includes more than 100 capsule biographies of such designers as Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Adolph Loos, and Marcel Breuer. The only problem with 1000 Chairs is, ironically, its own ergonomics. At about eight by six inches and nearly 800 pages, it is an unwieldy little tome. That aside, this is a great book--a must for anyone interested in sitting down. --Loren E. Baldwin [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Graphic Design: Grafikdesign im 21. Jahrhundert/Le design graphique au 21 siecle'Book summary:Es gibt eine Kunst, die man kaum wahrnimmt, obwohl sie uns auf Schritt und Tritt begegnet, an Litfasssäulen etwa, an Omnibus-Haltestellen oder in jeder Lifestyle-Zeitschrift. Grafikdesign heißt diese Kunst im Dienst der Marken, und so langsam setzt sich das Bewusstsein durch, dass es sich dabei tatsächlich um mehr handelt als ein schönes Handwerk.
Der voluminöse Band Graphic Design of the 21st Century verspricht dem Leser im Untertitel 100 der besten Grafikdesigner und Designgruppen, die den Weg des 21. Jahrhunderts vorzeichnen könnten, in einer Zeit also, in der Pixel und Software eine kaum zu überschätzende Revolution in der Branche ausgelöst haben. Und -- was soll man sagen: Er hält Wort. Versammelt sind so herausragende Gebrauchskünstler wie KesselsKramer (und deren innovativer Diesel-Kampagne), Tina Frank, Lust, Dextro, KM 7 oder Fellow Designers, die es mit Klassikern wie Ottl Aicher oder der Bauhaus-Schule durchaus aufnehmen können. Eine kluge Einleitung der Herausgeber rundet das Bild trefflich ab.
Alles in allem also ist Graphic Design for the 21st Century ein farbenfroher Band geworden, der tatsächlich in die richtige Richtung weist. Nicht nur für angehende Grafikdesigner (oder solche, die Ideen brauchen), sondern für jeden, der mit offenen Augen durch unsere Alltagswelt geht. --Stefan Kellerer [via]

Graphs, Maps, Trees: Abstract Models for a Literary Historyby Franco MorettiISBN 1844670260 (1-84467-026-0)
Hardcover, W W Norton & Co Inc

› Find signed collectible books: 'Graphs, Maps, Trees: Abstract Models for a Literary History'Book summary:A manifesto for a text-free literary scholarship.
Professor Franco Moretti argues heretically that literature scholars should stop reading books and start counting, graphing, and mapping them instead. He insists that such a move could bring new luster to a tired field, one that in some respects is among "the most backwards disciplines in the academy." Literary study, he argues, has been random and unsystematic. For any given period scholars focus on a select group of a mere few hundred texts: the canon. As a result, they have allowed a narrow distorting slice of history to pass for the total picture.
Moretti offers bar charts, maps, and time lines instead, developing the idea of "distant reading," set forth in his path-breaking essay "Conjectures on World Literature," into a full-blown experiment in literary historiography, where the canon disappears into the larger literary system. Charting entire genresthe epistolary, the gothic, and the historical novelas well as the literary output of countries such as Japan, Italy, Spain, and Nigeria, he shows how literary history looks significantly different from what is commonly supposed and how the concept of aesthetic form can be radically redefined.

Information Visualization: Perception for Designby Colin WareISBN 1558608192 (1-55860-819-2)
Hardcover, Morgan Kaufmann Pub
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Information Visualization: Perception for Design'Book summary:Most designers know that yellow text presented against a blue background reads clearly and easily, but how many can explain why? Information Visualization: Perception for Design explores the art and science of why we see objects the way we do.
Although more technical than most graphic design books, the book "is intended to make [the data from the science and study of visualization] available to the non-specialist." Each chapter focuses on a different facet of human vision, like "Lightness, Brightness, Contrast, and Constancy" in chapter 3, or "Static and Moving Patterns" in chapter 4.
Although the author tries to put a great deal of scientific research data into pedestrian terms, the nature of the subject matter and the papers from which he culls his information make this task an uphill battle from the start. As a result, the book is full of valuable information, but it may not necessarily be right for the average graphic designer looking for a new inspirational spin. Serious interface designers, presentation designers, data analyzers, or any artist tasked with presenting ideas in a visual format, though, should come away from Information Visualization with a clearer understanding of the inner workings of perception. At the very least, they'll be able to explain why yellow text against blue is a good combination. --Mike Caputo [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Introducing Foucault'Book summary:When the philosopher Michel Foucault died in 1984, his work was described as "the most important event of thought in our century". This text puts his work in its philosophical and political context, and explores his mission to expose the links between knowledge and power in human society. Foucault overturned many assumptions about madness, sexuality and criminality, and highlighted the brutal social practices of confinement, confession, and discipline. The book describes his approach to these problems through psychiatry and clinical medicine, and shows how his political beliefs led to conflict with police on the streets of Paris. Foucault's unorthodox lifestyle is also compared with the aspects of pleasure and desire which he promoted in his writing. [via]

'Home' is that intimate, closed, secret space where we impose our own laws and give shape to our own particular concept of the world.
My House, My Paradise is a collection of houses in which the 'residents-cum-creators' have devoted all of their ingenuity, energy and determination into constructing what they perceive to be the ideal domestic universe. Each defines a personal microcosm and all are exceptional, whatever the material means used to create them. These are dwellings in which a personal way of looking at the world has bee n relentlessly pursued; most are lifelong undertakings that grew and changed with the creator, and many are distinctly eccentric. They include Ludwig II of Bavaria's Linderhof, the C}sar Manrique Villa in Lanzarote, Salvador Dali's villa in Spain, Edward James' villa in Mexico, Grandma Prisbrey's Bottle Village, Ian Hamilton Finlay's Little Sparta, Alex Jordan's house on the rock and William Randolph Hearst's Xanadu.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Not So Big House: A Blueprint for the Way We Really Live'Book summary:When describing a favorite room in the house, do you find yourself using terms such as "expansive," "formal," and "spacious"--a marble foyer or a formal dining room perhaps? Or do the words "cozy," "intimate," and "warm" come to mind--a cheery little breakfast nook or a window seat complete with plenty of pillows and a breathtaking view? More than likely, you--like thousands of other homeowners--are drawn to the more personal spaces in your home, where comfort, beauty, and efficiency meet. In The Not So Big House, respected architect Sarah Susanka and coauthor Kira Obolensky address our affinity for the "smaller, more personal spaces" and propose "clear, workable guidelines for creating homes that serve both our spiritual needs and our material requirements." The heart of the not-so-big house--which is not "just a small house ... [but] a smaller house," that uses "less space to give greater quality of life," and is designed to not only "accommodate the lifestyles of its occupants" but also to express "our values and our personalities," is discussed in chapter 1, entitled "Bigger Isn't Better." Susanka's urging for homeowners to get creative with their space as well as loads of ideas to encourage that creativity are covered in "Rethinking the House" and "Making Not So Big Work." Discussions of specific needs, such as a home for one and designing for kids, can be found in "Lifestyles of the Not So Rich and Famous," while "Dreams, Details, and Dollars" gets down to the nuts and bolts of the operation, looking at quality versus quantity, budgeting, and what "low end," "middle ground," and "high end" really mean in home design and construction. Lastly, the authors look at the home of the future, which involves simplifying, recycling, reducing waste, and using energy-efficient construction. With more than 200 color photographs, as well as floor plans and Susanka and Obolensky's intelligent and lively dialogue, The Not So Big House is perfect for homeowners ready to rethink their space. --Stefanie Hargreaves [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Professional Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .Net'Book summary:Virtually all applications need to present data to users, but any work beyond basic formatting - charts or conditional formatting, for example - can be very complex to program manually. Crystal Reports is one of the world's leading software packages for creating interactive reports, and it provides developers with an array of tools for creating rich reports that can be published on the Web or integrated within applications. Versions of Crystal Reports have been included with Visual Studio since 1993 but the latest version, Crystal Reports .NET, is now integrated more closely than ever before with Visual Studio .NET.
This book provides a detailed guide to the functionality provided with Crystal Reports .NET and shows you how to integrate reports into your .NET applications. The examples are in VB.NET, but Crystal Reports .NET itself is operated by a clear language-neutral user interface in the main, allowing reports to be created and manipulated in practically every .NET language supported by Visual Studio.
This book covers:
Crystal Reports .NET overview
Report integration for Windows and Web-based applications
Creating XML report web services
Working with .NET data, formulas, and logic
The reports engine

Softcover, Springer-Verlag New York Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Visual Basic .Net Solutions Toolkit'Book summary:This book is a code library: it is a collection of components, classes, or nuggets of functionality that you can use, sometimes straight "out-of-the-box", sometimes with minimal tweaking. Each component is a flexible application building block, ready to fit neatly into your coding projects. Their usefulness stems from their encapsulation of code that is often common to many applications.
This book is also a discovery tool. Through the classes contained within this book, you can explore how the .NET Framework can be used to solve common problems. Each class also presents a set of programming techniques which take advantage of .NET's object orientation and extensive class library.
In writing this book, the authors' aim was threefold. First it is a simple catalogue of code, readily usable (and re-usable) that should allow you to speed up your development time. Second it is a collection of practical classes, not simple examples: these classes have been chosen for their usefulness in everyday coding. And third, by following a structured approach, each class illustrate a particular aspect of .NET Development, enabling you the reader to learn from them and apply these techniques to your own coding.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Visual Explanations: Images and Quantities, Evidence and Narrative'Book summary:With Visual Explanations, Edward R. Tufte adds a third volume to his indispensable series on information display. The first, The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, which focuses on charts and graphs that display numerical information, virtually defined the field. The second, Envisioning Information, explores similar territory but with an emphasis on maps and cartography. Visual Explanations centers on dynamic data--information that changes over time. (Tufte has described the three books as being about, respectively, "pictures of numbers, pictures of nouns, and pictures of verbs.")
Like its predecessors, Visual Explanations is both intellectually stimulating and beautiful to behold. Tufte, a self-publisher, takes extraordinary pains with design and production. The book ranges through a variety of topics, including the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger (which could have been prevented, Tufte argues, by better information display on the part of the rocket's engineers), magic tricks, a cholera epidemic in 19th-century London, and the principle of using "the smallest effective difference" to display distinctions in data. Throughout, Tufte presents ideas with crystalline clarity and illustrates them in exquisitely rendered samples. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Ways of Seeing'Book summary:[via]John Bergers Classic Text on Art
John Berger's Ways of Seeing is one of the most stimulating and the most influential books on art in any language. First published in 1972, it was based on the BBC television series about which the (London) Sunday Times critic commented: "This is an eye-opener in more ways than one: by concentrating on how we look at paintings . . . he will almost certainly change the way you look at pictures." By now he has.
"Berger has the ability to cut right through the mystification of the professional art critics . . . He is a liberator of images: and once we have allowed the paintings to work on us directly, we are in a much better position to make a meaningful evaluation" Peter Fuller, Arts Review
"The influence of the series and the book . . . was enormous . . . It opened up for general attention to areas of cultural study that are now commonplace" Geoff Dyer in Ways of Telling
Winner of the 1972 Booker Prize for his novel, G., John Peter Berger (born November 5th, 1926) is an art critic, painter and author of many novels including A Painter of Our Time, From A to X and Bentos Sketchbook.More editions of Ways of Seeing:

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'You Are Here: Personal Geographies and Other Maps of the Imagination'Book summary:Mapmaking fulfills one of our most ancient and deepseated desires: understanding the world around us and our place in it. But maps need not just show continents and oceans: there are maps to heaven and hell; to happiness and despair; maps of moods, matrimony, and mythological places. There are maps to popular culture, from Gulliver's Island to Gilligan's Island. There are speculative maps of the world before it was known, and maps to secret places known only to the mapmaker. Artists' maps show another kind of uncharted realm: the imagination. What all these maps have in common is their creators' willingness to venture beyond the boundaries of geography or convention.
You Are Here is a wide-ranging collection of such superbly inventive maps. These are charts of places you're not expected to find, but a voyage you take in your mind: an exploration of the ideal country estate from a dog's perspective; a guide to buried treasure on Skeleton Island; a trip down the road to success; or the world as imagined by an inmate of a mental institution. With over 100 maps from artists, cartographers, and explorers, You are Here gives the reader a breath-taking view of worlds, both real and imaginary.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Berlin Street Art'Book summary:Wenn Berlin aus schlaflosen Nächten erwacht, kleben pixelige Pinguine an den Fassaden. Ein Kind fährt in einer umgebauten Badewanne über eine Türe, ein melancholischer Affe steht bedröppelt auf dem Trottoir, und auf einem Altglascontainer prangt das verfremdete und verdoppelt kopierte Konterfei von -- Uschi Glas. Witzig und originell sind die zum Großteil papierenen, oftmals aber auch multimedialen Werke, die junge Künstler mit Hilfe von Tapetenkleister, Sprühschablonen, Pinseln, Paketzetteln oder Tapeten im Stadtraum platzieren. Street Art nennt sich diese Kunstform, die nur in der Anonymität der Großstadt und mit ihren ureigensten Mitteln (Comic, Icon, Collage, Werbung, Plakat etc.) funktionieren kann. Selbst Botschaften an eine imaginäre Linda -- Linda, es ist nicht cool -- werden da zum urbanen Rätsel, das sich schon an der nächsten Ecke zur Liebes- oder Leidensgeschichte weiten kann.
Wenn ich es könnte, würd ich den Wolken am Himmel Formen geben, und dann zusehen, wie sie verdampfen , lautet das Credo von NOMAD, einem der Berliner Street-Art-Aktivisten, dessen Pseudonym Programm seiner Kunst ist. Vergänglich wollen NOMADS Werke sein, ebenso wie die von Gould, Mr. Robot, Tower oder Fuck The Crew: Wind und Wetter ausgesetzt -- und dem Gesetz der Straße natürlich, zu dem es auch gehört, von Hunden bepinkelt und von Kindern oder aufgebrachten Hausbesitzern abgerissen zu werden.
Über drei Jahre ist der Fotograf Sven Zimmermann durch Berlin vor allem durch seinen Wohnkiez Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg gezogen, um, nur mit einer simplen Digitalkamera bewaffnet, diese Street Art ihrer Vergänglichkeit zu entreißen. Herausgekommen ist ein wunderschöner (und überaus klug komponierter) Band, der zeigt, wie kreativ und vielfältig sich diese Kunstform im öffentlichen Raum gebiert. Graffiti war gestern. Und Street Art ist besser. --Thomas Köster [via]
