    Three Things to Help Heal the Planet | Ana Santi
    Three Things to Help Heal the Planet | Ana Santi
    We hear news of illegal levels of air pollution while sitting in traffic in our cars. We read that food production makes up one third of greenhouse gas emissions, yet we throw away 1 billion tonnes of it. We're drowning in seemingly insurmountable global problems on which everyone has an opinion, but few practical solutions!So, how can we possibly make a difference? Where do we even start?What began as a personal to-do list for Ana Santi has transformed into a book for anyone, anywhere, who may not have yet changed their habits for the future of the planet and humanity but would like to start now.Each chapter focuses on something we do in our daily lives: eat, breathe, work, travel. Every personal decision we make around these things has a direct link to the global climate crisis. Each chapter features a collection of three essays on the subject covered from an expert in that field, either personal, scientific or professional. The chapter culminates with three simple actions you can ta…

    Everything is F**ked A Book About Hope | Mark Manson
    Everything is F**ked A Book About Hope | Mark Manson
    We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it's ever been-we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f cked-the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn't even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness.What's going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it's Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn't-and worst of all, that o…

    Comporta Bliss | Carlos Souza
    "Crossing on the ferry between Setubal and Tróia, we really take our time and arrive quietly, watching dolphins in the Estuary of Sado, that delicious atmosphere typical of Comporta's peninsula."- Patrick PerrinSometimes compared to the Saint-Tropez of Brigitte Bardot in the 1950s, Comporta, with its relaxed pace and artistic community, is the ideal destination for those looking to wander off course. It's the new found favorite of personalities such as Jacques Grange, Farida Khelfa, François Dumas, the Espírito Santo family, and Madonna, who shares photographs of taking her kids to the beach and horseback riding in the dunes of nearby Carvalhal on weekends. This fishing village boasts swaths of beaches, patch works of rice paddies, and an ecosystem filled with storks and frogs, all a serene backdrop for the striking homes found there: rustic cabanas and that ched-roof huts reflecting the care free lifestyle that has become Comporta's hallmark. This distinctive setting challenges the mi…

    Chanel - The Impossible Collection | Assouline
    "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."- Gabrielle ChanelMore than any other designer of her era, Gabrielle Chanel had the ability to predict the evolution of contemporary fashion. Self-inventor extraordinaire, Chanel revolutionized the lifestyle of her time by inventing a modern concept of luxe minimalism, elevating humble fabrics such as jersey and tweed to couture status, giving birth to a new silhouette both sophisticated and discreet, setting her stamp on the twentieth century with her modern spirit of understated luxury.The house of Chanel represents modern fashion. Under its founder, the style of the modern woman was invented, through the image of Gabrielle Chanel herself. She dressed women to be free, and her emancipated clothes reflected the shifting landscape of society. Her designs fundamentally affected what we wear, and how we wear it. The work of the hou…

    Product description

    A revised edition of this popular history of design, updated to reflect innovations since the book's first publication in 2016.

    Design: The Whole Story takes a close look at the key developments, movements and practitioners of design around the world, from the beginnings of industrial manufacturing to the present day. Organized chronologically, it locates design within its technological, cultural, economic, aesthetic and theoretical contexts.

    From the high-minded moralists of the 19th century to the radical thinkers of modernism - and from the emergence of showmen such as Raymond Loewy in the 1930s to today's superstars such as Philippe Starck - the book provides in-depth coverage of a subject that touches all our lives. Iconic works that mark significant steps forward or that characterize a particular era or approach - such as Marcel Breuer's Wassily chair of 1925, Eliot Noyes' corporate identity work for IBM in the 1950s and Matthew Carter's Verdana typeface, designed to be read on screen - are analysed in detail, while the text sets out the framework of ideas, intent and technology within which differing approaches to design have evolved.

    From the cars we drive and the products we buy to the graphics that surround us, we are all consumers of design. Design: The Whole Story provides all the information needed to decode the material world.
