This important project brings together the early histories of the development of the turbojet, turboprop and turboshaft engines for the first time. The work of twelve nations [Great Britain, Germany, the Soviet Union, the United States, Japan, France, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Czechoslovakia and Hungary] is described from the earliest days up to the end of the 1950s. This was the Golden Age of aeronautical development and in that time hundreds of engines were developed using the new and exciting gas turbine technology. These engines powered some of the most important and best loved aircraft of the century.

A vision of the contemporary world since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, by the photographers of Magnum. The volume includes work from a range of photographers from Cartier-Bresson to the organization's newest recruits. The images are presented in a sequence of photo essays introduced by the photographers themselves. Many of the images were shot especially for the book. Magnum's 55 member and associate photographers participating in this book with new work include Eve Arnold, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Raymond Depardon, Elliott Erwitt, Leonard Freed, Josef Koudelka, Steve McCurry, Susan Meiselas, James Nachtwey, Martin Parr, Gueorgui Pinkhassov, Larry Towell and Ferdinando Scianna.

Franklin's book is another study of General Dynamics, following Jacob Goodwin's Brotherhood of Arms ( LJ 8/85). Both look at defense contracting and both are histories but this is a more usual narrative history. Franklin traces the firm's history from early days of the Electric Boat Company and the first subs to the most recent projects. One might wish for a fuller account of the Convair aircraft division of GD but well told are the blunders of the jetliner decision that took GD out of the civil market altogether. Well told too are the stories of the people who led GD. Interesting and recommended for general readers.

Sex, drugs, delinquency, Black power, alternative culture and, of course, rock and roll: these are just some of the themes, which have attracted the attention of the cinema's bottom-feeders over the past eighty years. A few of the resulting films have become cult classics, but most were simply tacky - few would probably now want to sit through two hours of "High School Hellcats" (1958) or "Hot Rod Rumble" (1957). The posters produced to promote them, on the other hand, are wonderful period pieces that vividly evoke the social fears, temptations and taboos of bygone eras. Up until the introduction of the Hayes Code in 1934 Hollywood had few inhibitions; the poster for "Girl Without A Room" (1933), for example, left audiences in little doubt as to how the young lady planned to find accommodation. Later in the decade, it became necessary to adopt the old tabloid trick of pretending that titillating content had a redeeming social message - thus the producers of "Marihuana" (1936) were obliged to present it as a warning about the dangers of drug addiction. In the 1950s, it was the Beats and juvenile delinquents who put a chill into middle-class hearts - and, of course, attracted middle-class kids to the drive-in screens. Then, in the 60s and 70s, came 'Blaxploitation' movies like "Shaft", Russ Meyer's mammary-obsessed epics like "Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill", and even an animated sexploitation story, "Fritz The Cat". The posters for these films, from Alberto Vargas' artwork for "Ladies They Talk About" (1933) to Alan Aldridge's photomontage for Warhol's "Chelsea Girls" (1966), are masterpieces of visual innuendo, offering, in most cases, far more that the movies actually delivered.

At their best, art galleries and exhibitions are able to open viewer's senses and create a feeling of ambiance, curiosity, and even sacred space. Exhibition posters can capture the imagination, help to create anticipation, and offer a glimpse of what one can expect to see. "Artist Exhibition" examines the display, presentation and promotion of artist's works around the world. By sharing works on and off the gallery walls, their transformation from sketch to object d'art through innovative framing, lighting and placement, is remarkable. It provides extensive case studies that share perspectives from curators, viewers and artists showing how their works were successfully presented and promoted.

"Stanley Kubrick Drama and Shadows is the first publication of early photographs by renowned filmmaker Stanley Kubrick (1928–1999), taken between 1945 and 1950 — many of them never before seen by the general public. Kubrick made these photographs while he was a staff photographer for the New York–based Look magazine, following his graduation from high school and before he made his first films

Aimed at a broad audience, Stanley Kubrick Drama and Shadows reveals the director’s early experimentations with image composition and his attraction to dramatic, often psychologically intense subjects and narratives that would both become elements of his recognizable style as a director

Divided into four thematic chapters: "Metropolitan Life", "Entertainment", "Celebrities", and "Human Behavior", this book features a carefully selected group of approximately 350 photographs organized into approximately thirty photographic stories. An insightful introductory essay provides context and examines Kubrick’s photographs in relation to the history of photography".
