The Other Moderns
While Harry Seidler is one of Australia’s most famous architects, little is known of his European-born contemporaries. The Other Moderns uncovers the work of Sydney’s forgotten émigré architects, interior designers, and furniture makers working from the 1930s to 1960s, and reveals their groundbreaking impact on modernist design. Highlighting the direct connections between Sydney and the European design centres of Vienna, Berlin, and Budapest, the book provides a new understanding of modernism. Profiling the work of architects like Henry Epstein and Hugo Stossel, along with Gerstl Furniture, The Other Moderns tells the story of the network of architects, designers, property developers, retailers, and photographers working together to bring a distinctly European style to mid-century Australia. Richly illustrated with rare photography, including stunning images from Austrian-born photographer Margaret Michaelis, and furniture from the collection of Hotel Hotel Canberra, the book explores the work of this unacknowledged group of style makers for the first time.
Noah's Ark in the XXI. century
We are on a threshold of a new era when we need new energies. How will this shift from the old to the new happen? What has the Bible, and what have the ancient prophecies and wisdom of India have to tell us about all this? Is it possible that we have the solution in our hands from thousands of years ago? Is it possible that in our life we all have started to build our own ark? Noah’s Ark in the XXI. century, new book of Zoltán Gábor Lukács has been released. This book is the first one of a new book series, Akasha conversations and discloses very deep connections. It reveals the results of my contemplation and research from the past years and decades. Let’s push the limits of our knowl...
The Post
A police chief ventures outside one of the last pockets of civilization to confront a monstrous evil in this postapocalyptic crime thriller. Ten years after the world’s oil went sour and a pandemic killed most of the population, Sam Edison is the chief of police of The Little Five, a walled-in community near Atlanta, Georgia. Now the few who survive share the world with the hollow-heads: formerly human cannibals who hunt anything living for food. When a pregnant teenager is murdered shortly after arriving at The Little Five, Chief Edison discovers that she was fleeing a life of sexual slavery. Her personal nightmare is over. But when the mayor’s stepdaughter is abducted, the trail leads Chief Edison to the horrifying realization that the entire city of Athens is engaged in human trafficking. Now will have to save the young girl and somehow make it back home, evading monsters both human and non-human all the way.

On Their Own Terms
In On Their Own Terms, Benjamin A. Elman offers a much-needed synthesis of early Chinese science during the Jesuit period (1600-1800) and the modern sciences as they evolved in China under Protestant influence (1840s-1900). By 1600 Europe was ahead of Asia in producing basic machines, such as clocks, levers, and pulleys, that would be necessary for the mechanization of agriculture and industry. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Elman shows, Europeans still sought from the Chinese their secrets of producing silk, fine textiles, and porcelain, as well as large-scale tea cultivation. Chinese literati borrowed in turn new algebraic notations of Hindu-Arabic origin, Tychonic cosmology, Euclidian geometry, and various computational advances. Since the middle of the nineteenth century, imperial reformers, early Republicans, Guomindang party cadres, and Chinese Communists have all prioritized science and technology. In this book, Elman gives a nuanced account of the ways in which native Chinese science evolved over four centuries, under the influence of both Jesuit and Protestant missionaries. In the end, he argues, the Chinese produced modern science on their own terms.
Medieval Clothing and Textiles
Pan-European research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing from a range of disciplines. This volume continues the series' tradition of bringing together work on clothing and textiles from across Europe. It has a strong focus on gold: subjects include sixth-century German burials containing sumptuous jewellery and bands brocaded with gold; the textual evidence for recycling such gold borders and bands in the later Anglo-Saxon period; and a semantic classification of words relating to gold in multi-lingual medieval Britain. It also rescues significant archaeological textiles from obscurity: there is a discussion of early medieval headdresses from The Netherlands, and an examination of a ...
