Anni Albers
A long-overdue reassessment of one of the most important and influential woman artists working at midcentury Anni Albers (1899–1994) was a German textile designer, weaver, and printmaker, and among the leading pioneers of 20th-century modernism. Although she has heavily influenced generations of artists and designers, her contribution to modernist art history has been comparatively overlooked, especially in relation to that of her husband, Josef. In this groundbreaking and beautifully illustrated volume, Albers’s most important works are examined to fully explore and redefine her contribution to 20th-century art and design and highlight her significance as an artist in her own right.

Their Fifteen Minutes
In 1927, young airmail pilot Charles A. Lindbergh wowed the world by being the first to fly nonstop from New York to Paris. His daring accomplishment won him not only the $25,000 prize, but worldwide recognition. It also cost him his privacy that lasted a lifetime. In 1932, the son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh was kidnapped and later found dead-a crime that shocked America and the world. Bruno Hauptmann was tried, convicted, and executed for his role in the little boy's death. Their Fifteen Minutes is a unique collection of biographical essays filling in the blanks and providing background regarding the key figures involved in the case, such as: -Henry "Red" Johnson, the first "prime suspect" -Hans Kloppenburg, Hauptmann's best friend -Jafsie, also known as Dr. John F. Condon, who served as the intermediary between the kidnappers and the family -Betty Gow, a servant employed by the Lindberghs Until now, the lives of those touched by this case have gone virtually unrecorded. Known only for their brief encounter with history, Their Fifteen Minutes tells the rest of their story showing there was much more to them than their fifteen minutes of fame.

Through the portal
Once there was only a whisper – the legend of a being caught between life and death, a master of shadows who bore the secrets of forgotten magic. This legend was forgotten... until today. Reborn in iron armor and with a sword as cold as the grave, a new power has arisen, bound to a destiny as twisted as the dark magic that flows through his veins. But the world is no longer the same. Old empires have crumbled, gods have fallen silent, and humanity clings to survival under the shadow of cruel beasts and tyrants. In a realm full of ancient terrors, a lone warrior rises – a fragile spark in an endless storm, armed with cursed magic and an unbending will. Now a path of rebellion is forged through this unforgiving world. With every step, secrets come to light that would have been better left buried, and powers emerge that can hardly be restrained. Forged anew in the fire of revenge, unstoppable and implacable, this new champion marches toward an uncertain destiny. This world has not yet known true darkness – but that will soon change. Welcome to the edge of the unknown.
The Frauenstein Letters
This book investigates the migration of nearly 20% of the population from the village of Frauenstein-Wiesbaden (Germany) in the mid nineteenth century (1852-54) to Australia, using the letters and diaries of the towns-people, as well as official records and documentation. These migrants were imported as indentured workers for the developing wine industry, being sponsored by the Australian colonial authorities, and their stories make a significant contribution to both the migration debate as well as early Australian history. Using the voices of ordinary people revealed in their writing to and from Europe (the Frauenstein Letters) gives new insights into the migration process: What urged these...
