The Carabinieri have made a startling discovery in the Amalfi villa of a murdered South African shipping tycoon―a secret vault containing an empty frame and stretcher matching the dimensions of the world’s most valuable missing painting. General Ferrari asks Gabriel to quietly track down the artwork before the trail goes cold.“Isn’t that your job?”“Finding stolen paintings? Technically speaking, yes. But you’re much better at it than we are.”The painting in question is The Concert by Johannes Vermeer, one of thirteen works of art stolen from Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990. With the help of a most unlikely ally, a beautiful Danish computer hacker and professional thief, Gabriel soon discovers that the painting has changed hands as part of an illicit billion-dollar business deal involving a man code-named the Collector, an energy executive with close ties to the highest levels of Russian power.The missing masterpiece is the lynchpin of a conspiracy that if successful, could plunge the world into a conflict of apocalyptic proportions. To foil the plot, Gabriel must carry out a daring heist of his own, with millions of lives hanging in the balance.

El 1 de octubre de 1958 se puso en marcha la primera agencia espacial civil del mundo como respuesta de emergencia al lanzamiento del Sputnik por parte de la Unión Soviética un año antes. En una década, la National Aeronautics and Space Administration, universalmente conocida como NASA, pasó de estar integrada por unos modestos equipos de investigación que experimentaban con pequeños cohetes adaptados a convertirse en una de las empresas tecnológicas y de gestión más grandes de la historia, capaz de llevar personas a la Luna a bordo de cohetes gigantescos y de enviar robots exploradores a Venus, Marte y mundos mucho más lejanos.A pesar de ocasionales y trágicos reveses en la historia de la NASA, el programa Apolo sigue simbolizando la inventiva estadounidense, sus transbordadores espaciales lideraron la construcción de la Estación Espacial Internacional y su deslumbrante conjunto de satélites astronómicos, módulos de descenso y programas de geociencias han transformado nuestra comprensión del cosmos y del frágil lugar que ocupa en él nuestro mundo.A lo largo de los 60 años de historia de la NASA, las imágenes han desempañado un papel fundamental. ¿Quién no está familiarizado hoy con las fascinantes imágenes del universo que nos brinda el telescopio espacial Hubble o con las nítidas panorámicas de Marte enviadas por los vehículos de exploración espacial de la NASA? ¿Y quién podría olvidar las fotografías de los hombres caminando por la superficie lunar?Este volumen compacto está basado en nuestro libro XXL, documentado y editado en colaboración con la NASA, y reúne cientos de fotografías e imágenes renderizadas poco conocidas que han sido escaneadas y remasterizadas con la última tecnología.

En los albores de la era victoriana, en su laboratorio al aire libre en Halstead, Kent, Anna Atkins se embarcó en un experimento radical para documentar especies botánicas utilizando un medio artístico completamente nuevo. Los inimitables cianotipos de algas y helechos que creó se convirtieron en los primeros libros que presentaban imágenes fotográficas. Impactantes aunque etéreos, estos álbumes son una síntesis perfecta de arte y ciencia.Aunque la técnica de la cianotipia fue descubierta por su amigo John Herschel, Atkins fue la primera en darse cuenta tanto de su utilidad práctica para sus propios intereses en botánica y taxonomía como de su intrigante potencial artístico. El proceso, que implicaba fijar el objeto sobre papel sensible y exponerlo directamente a la luz solar, da como resultado el pigmento azul de Prusia que constituye el inconfundible telón de fondo de estas obras de arte.Los álbumes de Atkins British Algae (1843-1853) y Cyanotypes of British and Foreign Ferns (1853), el último de los cuales fue producido con su amiga Anne Dixon, son obras de notable rareza. Reimpresos aquí en su totalidad por primera vez, revelan su dominio de múltiples disciplinas: Si bien el proceso de cianotipia permitió a Atkins enfrentarse al desafío de una representación precisa, los contornos delicados de los especímenes, colocados sobre el fondo azul intenso, le han dado a las imágenes un atractivo estético atemporal.Esta edición, basada en gran medida en las copias de la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York y del J. Paul Getty Museum, ha compilado cuidadosamente cianotipos de varias fuentes para reimprimir las innovadoras obras de Atkins en su totalidad. Más de 550 impresiones de cianotipos acompañadas de una serie de ensayos introductorios de Peter Walther que sitúan el trabajo de Atkins en sus contextos científico e histórico-artístico y rinden un merecido homenaje a las contribuciones de una pionera.

Milton Glaser's designs changed the way we see the world.' - Gloria Steinem.An overview of the work of illustrator and designer Milton Glaser during the 1960s and 70sFrom 1954, when he co-founded the legendary Push Pin Studios, to the late ’70s, Milton Glaser was one of the most celebrated graphic designers of his day, whose work graced countless book and album covers, posters, magazine covers, and advertisements, both famous and little-known. Glaser largely defined the international visual style for illustration, advertising, and typeface design and interest in his legacy continues unabated, with modern creatives acknowledging his influence, for example, in 2014 Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner enlisted Glaser to design the ad campaign and branding for the show’s final season.His renowned work garnered solo exhibitions at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Creator of the iconic ‘I love NY’ logo (featuring a heart symbol in place of the word ‘love’) and cofounder of New York magazine, Glaser received numerous accolades and lifetime achievement awards. Across thousands of works across all print media, he invented a graphic language of bright, flat color, drawing and collage, imbued with wit. This collection of work from Glaser’s Pop period features hundreds of examples of his design that have not been seen since their original publication, demonstrating the graphic revolution that transformed design and popular culture.

Whether on a well-curated shelf or in your back pocket, these timeless works of philosophical, political, and psychological thought are absolute must-haves for book collectors as well as design enthusiasts.As a diplomat in turbulent fifteenth-century Florence, Niccolò Machiavelli knew how quickly political fortunes could rise and fall.

Una retrospectiva única de Mick Rock, el fotógrafo oficial y socio creativo de David Bowie, recopilada en 2015 con el consentimiento del propio Bowie.En 1972, David Bowie publicó su revolucionario álbum The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Con él nació también el alter ego Stardust de Bowie: un ser de vestimenta reluciente, rímel en los ojos y sexualmente ambiguo que rompió las fronteras entre lo masculino y lo femenino, lo heterosexual y lo homosexual, la realidad y la ficción en un cambiante y brillante fenómeno de autoexpresión de los años setenta. Ziggy, el álbum, y Ziggy, el espectáculo, convirtieron al londinense de voz suave en una de las mayores estrellas del mundo.Uno de los pasajeros clave en ese viaje glam rumbo a la estratosfera fue Mick Rock, también de Londres. Rock estableció vínculos artísticos y personales muy estrechos con Bowie, pasó a formar parte del círculo íntimo del cantante y trabajó, en 1972 y 1973, como su fotógrafo oficial.Esta colección de fotografías reúne instantáneas espectaculares sobre el escenario y retratos íntimos en el backstage. El libro celebra la experimentación y reinvención audaz de Bowie. Una visión sin precedentes de las múltiples facetas del artista. Jugando con lo distante y lo accesible, lo divertido y lo serio, este apasionado tributo se regocija en la experimentación y la imprevisibilidad, y celebra la eterna inspiración de un artista audaz y excepcional que siempre será recordado.

Dominic of the Dragonseeker lineage - one of the most powerful lines the Carpathian people has - ingests vampire blood laced with parasites in order to infiltrate the heart of the enemy camp and learn their plans. This is a one-way mission. He plans to get in fast, relay the information to the leader of the Carpathians living in the area and go out fighting - an honourable way to end his life.Solange Sangria is one of the last of the jaguar people, a royal pure-blood. Her people, once many, are now nearly extinct. She has long been alone fighting to save the remaining women who are able to shift from the hands of Brodrick the Terrible, her own father who slaughtered everyone she loved. Wounded, weary, she plans one last battle, hoping to stop the man who has made an alliance with the vampires, accepting she will not come out alive. They are two warriors who have lived their lives alone. Now, at the end of their time, they find each other, a complication neither sees coming.
