En noviembre de 2020, Depeche Mode ingresó en el Salón de la Fama del Rock & Roll. En su discurso de aceptación, Dave Gahan dijo: ''Quiero expresar mi agradecimiento a Anton Corbijn, que gracias a Dios llegó en el momento oportuno y nos hizo parecer cool''. Además, en otoño de 2020, TASCHEN publicó Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn (81-18) en edición limitada y firmada por Depeche Mode y Anton Corbijn. Se trata de una de las Ediciones de Coleccionista que más rápidamente se han vendido en la historia de la editorial. Esta edición de bolsillo, más amable con la billetera, es un reconocimiento a la creatividad única y cool de Corbijn, tal como Gahan reconoció de manera conmovedora en su discurso, una historia ilustrada de cómo Corbijn se convirtió en 1986 en el director creativo de facto de Depeche Mode y ayudó a cimentar su reputación como el grupo de culto más importante del mundo.Presenta más de 150 fotografías procedentes de los extensos archivos de Corbijn, algunas de ellas inéditas, incluidos retratos formales e informales en lugares como Madrid, Hamburgo, el desierto de California, Praga y Marrakech, una multitud de instantáneas íntimas y espontáneas e impresionantes imágenes de actuaciones en directo de todas sus giras desde 1988 hasta 2023.Creado en estrecha colaboración con los miembros del grupo, que comparten sus impresiones sobre el trabajo con Corbijn, Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn cuenta cómo la estética original de un hombre ha definido todas las fotografías de la banda, así como la mayoría de sus vídeos, el grafismo de sus álbumes y el diseño de sus escenarios para ayudar a dar forma a su popularidad inextinguible. Al reflexionar sobre el rol que desempeña en Depeche, Corbijn recuerda en la introducción del libro: ''Se me ocurrieron muchas ideas y quería que encajasen con ellos. Quería pensar por ellos. Ser grande para ellos''. Este libro es un homenaje a la profundidad y extensión de esa grandeza, una celebración de una de las colaboraciones más creativas y duraderas de la historia del rock.

One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'The Penguin English Library Edition of Frankenstein by Mary ShelleyA twisted, upside-down creation myth, Mary Shelley's chilling Gothic tale lays bare the dark side of science, and the horror within us all. It tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, who plunders graveyards to create a new being from the bodies of the dead - but whose botched creature causes nothing but murder and destruction. Written after a nightmare when its author was only eighteen, Frankenstein gave birth to the modern science fiction novel.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.¿A qui va dirigit el llibre FRANKENSTEIN?Frankenstein és una novel·la amb un ampli espectre de lectors. La seva temàtica universal sobre la creació, la responsabilitat, el rebuig i les conseqüències del progrés científic la fa accessible a un públic divers. Es recomana per a lectors joves interessats en la ciència-ficció i el terror gòtic, així com per a adults que busquen una obra literària amb profunditat filosòfica i social. La complexitat de la narrativa i l'exploració de temes morals la converteixen en una lectura enriquidora per a estudiants de literatura i filosofia. En definitiva, l'obra transcendeix les barreres generacionals i ofereix una experiència de lectura significativa per a un ampli rang d'edats i nivells de coneixement.Temes que tracta el llibre FrankensteinFrankenstein explora una multitud de temes interconnectats que la converteixen en una obra complexa i multifacètica. Alguns dels temes més rellevants són:L'ambició científica i les seves conseqüències: La novel·la presenta una crítica a l'ambició desmesurada del científic que busca transcendir els límits naturals sense considerar les implicacions ètiques i morals dels seus actes. El Dr. Frankenstein s'obsessiona amb la creació de vida artificial, sense preveure les conseqüències devastadores del seu experiment. Aquest tema convida a la reflexió sobre la responsabilitat del científic a la societat i la necessitat d'una ètica rigorosa en la investigació.La creació i la responsabilitat: El tema central gira entorn de la creació de vida i la responsabilitat que comporta. Frankenstein crea una criatura, però la abandona a la seva sort, sense assumir les conseqüències dels seus actes. La novel·la explora la relació entre creador i criatura, qüestionant el dret a la creació i l'obligació de cuidar el que s'ha creat.El rebuig i el prejudici: La criatura de Frankenstein és rebutjada per la societat a causa de la seva aparença monstruosa. La novel·la mostra com el prejudici i la por al diferent poden conduir a l'exclusió i la violència. Aquest tema convida a la reflexió sobre la importància de l'acceptació i la tolerància cap als altres, independentment de les seves diferències físiques o socials.La naturalesa humana: Frankenstein explora la naturalesa humana en els seus aspectes més foscos i complexos. La novel·la mostra la capacitat de l'ésser humà per a la crueltat, la venjança i l'autodestrucció, però també la seva capacitat per a l'amor, la compassió i la redempció. L'obra presenta una visió ambivalent de la condició humana, sense simplificacions ni judicis morals fàcils.L'aïllament i la soledat: Tant el Dr. Frankenstein com la seva criatura experimenten un profund aïllament i soledat. El científic s'aïlla per la culpa i l'horror de la seva creació, mentre que la criatura és rebutjada per la societat. La novel·la explora les conseqüències de l'aïllament social i la importància de les relacions humanes per al benestar individual.El poder de la naturalesa: La novel·la contrasta el poder de la naturalesa amb el poder de la ciència. La naturalesa es presenta com una força poderosa i imprevisible, capaç de destruir i crear. La ciència, per la seva banda, es presenta com una eina poderosa, però també perillosa, que pot ser utilitzada per al bé o per al mal.Resum de crítiques, opinions i valoracions del llibre FRANKENSTEINEs considera una obra fonamental de la literatura gòtica i de ciència-ficció, alabada per la seva capacitat per generar inquietud i reflexió. Ha estat objecte de nombroses adaptacions cinematogràfiques i teatrals, el que demostra la seva perdurable influència en la cultura popular. La novel·la ha estat àmpliament estudiada i analitzada des de diferents perspectives, destacant la seva complexitat temàtica i la seva riquesa literària. Es reconeix el seu impacte en la literatura i la seva capacitat per generar debat sobre temes ètics i morals rellevants per a la humanitat. L'obra continua sent llegida i apreciada per la seva capacitat per commoure i desafiar el lector.

From its starting point as a simple wooden plank to the high-tech models of today, the skateboard has undergone a dramatic evolution. Skateboard explores the golden eras of skateboarding through over 100 boards that brought about turning points in the sport’s history.

A guidance for documenting, studying an publishing architectural remains in archaeology.Architects have been instrumental in developing the methods and standards for documenting, studying and publishing architectural remains in archaeology. At many sites, their reconstruction drawings shape our understanding of destroyed monuments. Architects often play a leading role in the restoration and reconstruction of buildings. In many countries they also direct archaeological field projects. In this introduction to archaeological building research, the questions, methods, techniques and possible results of the work of architects in archaeology are presented, based on the work of the internationally active German Archaeological Institute. Emphasis is placed on the importance of drawings in documenting observations made in the field, as well as on methods of reconstruction and architectural analysis of building remains. The aim is to introduce architects and students of architecture to a special field of work, and to give experts from other disciplines an insight into the research questions and methodology of architects and their potential contribution to archaeology and cultural history.

And he wants her to help ensure Charlie avoids the same family curse that's had Everett haunting Gilded Creek Farm since the 1920s.Now, Gretchen has one month to convince Charlie of the dangers that will befall him should he sell up. Unfortunately, hard work and honesty seem to be the best way to win over the stubborn farmer - not exactly Gretchen's strengths. She has to try though, because trust isn't the only thing growing between them. To save the goat farm, its resident phantom, and the man she's beginning to love, Gretchen will need to pull off the greatest con of her life: being fully, genuinely, messily herself.

This book is about stories of archives. By delving into bak.ma, a digital media archive born out of the social movements in Turkey, we are guided through a journey in which archives become sites of other kinds of stories: ones that involve solidarity, activism, and the commons. Author Özge Çelikaslan uses the concept of archives of the commons to reimagine archives as spaces of commoning in which creative, autonomous, platforms are generated collectively to perpetuate knowledge and sociopolitical relations grounded in solidarity and an ethics of care – not in some distant future, but in the here and now. With contributions by Thomas Keenan and Pelin Tan.
