Dogs is multi-award-winning photographer Tim Flach's stunning follow-up to the critically acclaimed Equus. Here, Flach once again sets out to document fully the lives of animals whose history is powerfully linked to our own and to provide a unique perspective on one of our closest companions: this time, dogs. Using photographs of dogs both solitary and in groups, as well as in varied settings and locations, Flach uses his lens to present a inimitable and engaging portrait of the physical and spiritual lives of dogs (breeds and crossbreeds of all types) around the globe. Since the wolf first snuck into the caves of our ancestors to take warmth from the fire, dogs have been man's constant companion.Dogs delves deep into the psyche of this enduring bond to create an exquisite study of man's best friend. From specimens on show at Crufts and Westminster to shelter dogs lovingly rescued by volunteers; from the grace and agility of racing greyhounds to adored domestic companions; from Afghan hounds to Hungarian komondors, the dogs featured in Dogs promise to deliver one of the most appealing, popular and exciting photographic tributes to dogs ever published.

Inspired by the Mediterranean villa, the Mediterranean house in America became the archetype for the sophisticated suburban residence in the early 20th century, especially in the Southwest and Florida.Showcasing more than 25 homes, ranging from early to contemporary interpretations of the style, author Lauren Weiss Bricker underscores the design features, use of materials such as stucco and terra cotta, colour palette, cultural associations, natural interior cooling and direct relationship to the outdoors (gardens are an important element of the style) that made the Mediterranean Revival house so popular in America. The design-driven text will appeal to do-it-yourselfers, high-end designers and their clients, and armchair travellers eager to incorporate elements of the style in their own homes, as well as providing essential historical background on the Mediterranean Revival style as it has been developed by some of the country's most celebrated architects. The Mediterranean House in America, the first survey of this popular house style, is illustrated with more than 200 colour photographs.

Wary Meyers' Tossed and Found: Unconventional Design from Cast-offs

What some view as trash, Linda and John Meyers see as raw material. The wife-and-husband team — subscribers to the 'reduce, reuse, recycle' ethos — have perfected a design strategy that will save you money, help the planet and provide hours of DIY fun. The strategy? First, visit a yard sale, construction-site dump, or even your own attic. Select something that somebody (even you) thought had outlived its usefulness. Then, transform that castoff into a piece that's interesting and usable. In this witty book, they apply their ingenious approach to seating (a chair made from pool noodles), lighting (a lamp from discarded pastry bags), storage (an umbrella stand from industrial steel pipe), tables (a wall-mounted table from a rusty basketball hoop) and all manner of decorative objects (astroturf pillows, a pickle-jar terrarium). These super-clever authors show you that with a little ingenuity and elbow grease, everything old becomes new again.

As one of today's most provocative artists, Pruitt's work has attracted critical attention for being consistently engaging while retaining a playful Pop aesthetic. Pop Touched Me, his first comprehensive monograph, examines the full scope of his development over the last two decades, extending beyond his conceptual art to include his painting, drawing, sculpture, textile and industrial design. Friends, fans, artists and art critics add context to the work by describing their personal experiences with Pruitt and his art through a range of essays and quotes.

Star Trek 365 is the definitive, comprehensive and authorised guide to Star Trek: The Original Series, Gene Roddenberry's landmark, groundbreaking television programme that first aired from 1966-69 and went on to become an international phenomenon. A cornerstone of popular and sci-fi culture for more than four decades, the show first catapulted William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy to fame and has, through a long series of feature-film and television spinoffs, led to the creation of a uniquely rich and detailed fictional universe. A visual celebration of the original voyages of the starship Enterprise, Star Trek 365 covers each episode and season in unprecedented detail, combining in-depth synopses, behind-the-scenes histories, and interviews with writers, cast, crew and fans with critical commentary on how the show's themes resonated when they first aired and how they continue to be relevant today. The book also looks at the original days of Star Trek fandom and the show's enduring cultural legacy, from the launching of NASA's Space Shuttle Enterprise in 1978 to the Smithsonian's exhibition of rare Star Trek material in 1992 to the present day. In addition to its wealth of never-before-seen images and newly commissioned photography of models, props, costumes, collectibles and ephemera, Star Trek 365 uses unprecedented access to the CBS archives to reproduce a treasure trove of still images — newly retouched and remastered — taken directly from the series' original 16 mm film slides. Written by longtime CBS insider Paula M. Block, Star Trek 365 boldly goes where no other Star Trek book has gone before, combining rare and iconic imagery with a complete reference guide to the original shows seventy-nine episodes — a perfect gift for Star Trek fans of all ages.

Like a corpse in a zombie movie, the Goth movement has been resuscitated-stronger, more powerful, and more contagious than ever before.

In these pages you'll find the latest and greatest work from 30 Low Brow arists who have embraced the dark side, employing gothic themes in their art. Spooky and witty, Weirdo Noir is destined to become a classic of the millennial Goth aesthetic.

MM--Personal: From the Private Archive of Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe is the most famous, ubiquitous, and idolized woman of our modern age. An icon of physical beauty, sexuality, and the quintessentially American dream, Marilyn's legend continues to grow four decades after her death. MM: Personal is a new and illuminating look behind the veil of that legend, reproducing artifacts and documents — thought to have been lost since 1962 and never before revealed to the public — to clarify, qualify, or reverse many common conceptions about the blond bombshell. A Selected from more than 10,000 largely unseen and heretofore unpublished items that were stored in Marilyn's two personal file cabinets — the Rosetta Stones of Marilyn Monroe scholarship — the collection also draws from the important collections of Greg Schreiner and Scott Fortner. These documents, snapshots, letters, memorabilia, and ephemera are joined by the first account of Monroe's life since Gloria Steinem's Marilyn to be written by a feminist historian, bringing a depth of understanding previously unavailable to her life. New answers come to light, such as what the dimensions were of Marilyn's personal management of her public persona, Marilyn's relationship to the photographers with whom she worked, how sensitive she was to her fans, and the tenor of her marriages to Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller. MM: Personal promises to completely refocus how we view Marilyn's private life, personal relationships, and legacy.
