Me++
How the transformation of wireless technology and the creation of an interconnected world are changing our environment and our lives. With Me++ the author of City of Bits and e-topia completes an informal trilogy examining the ramifications of information technology in everyday life. William Mitchell describes the transformation of wireless technology in the hundred years since Marconi—the scaling up of networks and the scaling down of the apparatus for transmission and reception. It is, he says, as if "Brobdingnag had been rebooted as Lilliput"; Marconi's massive mechanism of tower and kerosene engine has been replaced by a palm-size cellphone. If the operators of Marconi's invention can ...
Joyce's Dublin
James Joyce (1882-1941) was born in Rathgar, a Dublin suburb. His childhood was spent in different addresses scattered across the city, as his father's wealth declined. In 1904 he left Ireland and spent the rest of his life living in Europe with only a few short visits back. In this way, Joyce's Dublin is a place created from memories. Though it permeates all of his writing, it remains in some way an unreal city, which the author accessed through a process of recollection and imagination. Dublin in the year 2000 is a changing place and Virginie Amant's photography reveals the city which has survived into the 21st century, complemented by 19th century etchings, illustrations and photographs showing views familiar to Joyce

Vanishing Certainties
Vanishing Certainties explores the breadth and consistency of Keith Coventry's work from the early 1990s to the present. From the iconic Estate Paintings, White Abstracts and History Paintings which established Coventry's reputation, to new series such as Echoes of Albany, White Slaves and Repressionism, this major publication brings together an extraordinarily wide range of work for the first time. Coventry habitually works in series and this exhibition showcases several important new groups of work. Echoes of Albany (2004-2008), is a series of more than 40 paintings which address the history of the mysterious Albany apartments, located next to Burlington Gardens, and are painted in the style of Walter Sickert's controversial Echoes. Alongside depictions of the great and good ndash; including Byron and Gladstone ndash; Coventry subtly inserts contemporary scenes of prostitution and drug-taking, thus undermining this cornerstone of British society. Published on the occasion of a two-part exhibition (Painting and Sculpture Part II) at Haunch of Venison, London, June ndash; August 2009.
William Wordsworth
William Wordsworth (1770-1850) is universally recognized as the greatest poet of his age. His poems are almost religious in their celebration of nature's beauty, and his verse has a soaring, lyrical quality which is as seductive as it is readable. No special knowledge or appreciation is needed to enjoy Wordsworth: he wrote for everyone. Much of his best work is included in this beautiful book.
1930s Fashion Sourcebook
From the turbulence of the 1930s emerged the Golden Age of Glamour. Framed by two world-changing events – the economic crash of 1929 and the outbreak of the Second World War – the 1930s saw new looks emerge and thrive, despite economic and social uncertainty. This was the decade of the bias cut, the statement shoulder, the puff sleeve, the tea dress, the fur shrug and the floor-length evening gown. It was also the era that saw Hollywood challenge Paris's fashion crown and its stars become fashion icons, signalling a new grown-up direction in womenswear design. Packed with over 500 original photographs, illustrations and sketches from the decade, this is an essential guide for any fashion...
