Book excerpt: For beginners, art history might seem a daunting subject with complex rules and impenetrable technical language. Even for more seasoned art lovers the question of how to think about art is a perennial riddle. Art Unpacked is the perfect resource for both audiences: an engaging, visual primer for the general reader, as well as educators. Designed like an instruction manual, fifty key artworks from around the world are deconstructed with pithy explanations, diagrams and close-ups, in order to reveal the elements that make up a masterpiece. Dating from the earliest times to the present, the artworks under analysis are drawn from many cultures, and cover all forms of visual media including: drawing, illustration, photography, prints and sculpture. Matthew Wilsons simplicity of approach, using established art historical methods, enables the reader to discover the fundamentals of art history, from considerations of function, historical context, iconography and artists experience, to broader issues of identity including feminism, gender and postcolonialism. Whether its the mask of Tutankhamun or Dorothea Langes photograph of Migrant Mother, Hokusais Great Wave or Kara Walkers Gone, each image is dissected on the page in a no-nonsense style, with explanatory notes detailing artists sources of inspiration, associated styles and movements, plus any relevant quotes, related visuals and other contextual and issue-led information with keywords for handy cross-referencing. The resulting book is a dynamic, visual resource that will inspire and spark enjoyment of art in all its forms.

Book excerpt: "I fully realize that my discussion of the mental climate of collecting will confirm many of you in your conviction that this passion is behind the times, in your distrust of the collector type. Nothing is further from my mind than to shake either your conviction or your distrust." Walter Benjamin was one of the great cultural critics of the twentieth century. In Unpacking My Library he offers a strikingly personal meditation on his career as a book collector and on the strange relations that spring up between objects and their owners. Witty, erudite and often moving, this book will resonate with bibliophiles of all kinds. Eris Gems make available in the form of beautifully produced saddle-stitched booklets a series of outstanding short works of fiction and non-fiction.

Book excerpt: "Transit, transitional, transition: Dalia Judovitz catches Marcel Duchamp on the run with his art in a suitcase and his thought all boxed and ready to go. . . . She demonstrates how the theme of transition, reappearing from work to work, makes each piece reproduce some other piece, while all continue to exemplify an original which can no longer be found and which has no creator."—Jean-François Lyotard

Book excerpt: Struggling with making yet another move for your spouse's career? Your dream was to work hard, live authentically, get paid, and create a beautiful, rooted life for yourself and your family. You thought you were on your way with your two kids, three pets, and fourteen homes over twenty-five years. Looking forward to your middle years and a chapter of creativity - SURPRISE! - you just learned you have to move again for the sake of your spouse's career! While you are too proud - and too privileged - to complain, you are hurting and don't know where to find support. As you put your head down and keep your chin up, you secretly long for a moving guide that goes beyond packing and planning to the deeper challenges that are hard to talk about. Unpacked: An Old Soul's Guide to the Art of Relocation is that guide. Christine Kraft, M.S., is a coach, a community leader, an artist, and an activist. She is the founder of AphroditeWorks.com and is excited to share how she has kept her fragile dreams alive across many bold moves. In Unpacked, you'll learn: That you are a powerhouse (not a trailing spouse) That fueling yourself with to-dos makes relocation more stressful Why saying farewell, goodbye, and I love you (to everyone!) lightens the load That it is possible to make lifelong friends at 50 That resenting your spouse's career makes re-establishing your own more difficult Written for talented, passionate, and creative women making homes all over the world, Unpacked is a must-have companion for modern movers.

Book excerpt: Designed to Sell presents an engaging account of mid-twentieth-century department store design and display in America from the 1930s to the 1960s. It traces the development of postwar philosophies of retail design that embodied aesthetics and function and new modes of merchandise display, resulting in the emergence of a new type of industrial designer. The evolution of aesthetics in department stores during this period reflected larger cultural shifts in consumer behaviour and lifestyle. Designed to Sell explores these changes using five key case studies and original archival sources to reveal the link between designers and consumption beyond the design of individual objects. It argues that design is not simply connected to retail consumption, but that it is capable of controlling how and where customers shop and what they are drawn to purchase. This book contextualises this discussion and brings it up to date for students and scholars interested in design, retail, and interior history.
