9780847842353NEVER sTOp TO THiNk...DO i HAVE A plAcE FOR THisBy MARY RANDOLPH CARTERHardback

A beautiful and inspiring volume, Never Stop to Think Do I Have a Place for This indulges our desire to surround ourselves with belongings that impart beauty and meaning to our lives. Delving into the interiors (and the collecting mindset) of real-life tastemakers (antique dealers, fashion designers, artists, boutique owners), Carter interviews the owners to reveal their personal stories and inspirations, and what drives their passion for collecting and, ultimately, how they manage to integrate their collections and interiors to live stylishly with their passions. The book showcases a range of personalities and styles, such as Heirloom Scavengers, anglophiles who collect beautiful housewares; The Preservationists, an artistic couple who collect and restore photographs; Scavenging the Evidence of Life, an artist who scavenges old photos, menus, and maps to use in his work; and The Queen of Muchness, an antique dealer known for having multiples of everything! A great read, Carter muses delightfully on the universal desire to acquire and collect, while imparting philosophy and tips for living creatively and integrating our passions into our decor. Lavishly illustrated with intimate photographs of 16 different homes and collections, this book exalts in the beauty of bounty and carries an inspiring message of how we can follow our passions to create a home we love.

It also includes sketches and plans for contemporary lamps that combine state of the art technology with traditional artisan techniques. In celebration of the decidedly decorative role of lighting in interior design, you will find the most daring designs on the market in the last chapter.

Temporary buildings can be interim solutions or projects con-structed for special occasions. In all instances, they give a location new meaning and quality for a certain period of time. TEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE shows how architects of ephemeral creations have to focus on the essential to make pointed statements and plan the disappearance of their work from the outset. Frequently transgressing the borderlines of architecture, art, design, and social intervention, this affords the architects very unique design freedom. Readers will be delighted with the novel perceptions of buildings, outdoor spaces, and rooms resulting from the mostly experimental nature of temporary architecture.

When the proportions are right, the drawing looks right! Most artists whose work features the human head and figure don't have the time or opportunity to draw directly from models, so it's essential that they acquire the skills and tools to draw them accurately without using direct reference. Now, thanks to Chris Hart's foolproof method, even beginners can quick-check the proportions of their head and figure drawings, identify errors and swiftly fix mistakes. Richly illustrated with drawings from various angles, this follow-up to Hart's bestselling Figure It Out! includes step-by-step demonstrations and lessons that lead readers through the process.

HERE AND NOW, a lavishly illustrated monograph accompa-nying France’s first major retrospective since Henri Cartier-Bresson’s death in 2004, traces Cartier-Bresson’s artistic development while offering a look at some of his best-known photographs and many seldom seen images in colour and black-and-white. Cartier-Bresson's conjuring of coherence and harmony out of a chaotic world appears innately effortless. His observations of poverty and revolution led directly to his pioneering photojournalism and co-founding Magnum Photos. Renowned for penetrating portraits of prominent figures, he is, in the words of biographer Pierre Assouline, ‘the eye of the century.’

DESIGNING HERE/NOW9780500517482By ALLAN CHOCHINOV,THAMES & HUDSON

Each person, product, brand, or company is (or should be) unique, in at least the smallest way, and defining that individuality is what is crucial. How ordinary and boring the world would be without this inherent uniqueness and the intriguing diversity that ensues. Let us not forget that this diversity cultivates the richness that we see in our cultures, economies, and societies and by celebrating this heterogeneity we can be truly free to appreciate our own selves and our own creations for what makes us and these creations of ours distinctive. Yet to be able to claim singularity we must endeavor to establish and make known this originality. To this end Asia Books proudly highlights the art of designing an identity in this issue of Share.

Why is there a need to focus on design? The answer is quite evident. Not one of us can escape its reach and it is the key to declaring individuality. Design is widespread and pervades throughout every single aspect of our daily lives. It has come to be a fast-paced and tantalizing industry that not only breathes new life into all businesses but also serves to better stimulate economies. It even helps in the resolution of many of the most pressing problems faced by humanity at large. As modern-day technological developments con-tinue to abound, design continues to play an increasingly integral role. It is now one of the most dynamic areas of exploration and as a result we are seeing explosive growth in the number of design schools and design professionals all around the world.

Individuals and businesses alike hoping to achieve singularity have to rely on design more than ever before as an integral component. This means that creativity, innovativeness and visual thinking are skills required of the managers and leaders of organizations in every sector

if designing an identity is to be attained.

Further proof of design importance and also of the fact that design is no longer limited to the realm of fashion is offered by Professor Frances Corner, head of the London School of Fashion, who, in a February 2014 Business of Fashion Op-Ed titled “Are We Producing Too Many Fashion Designers” commented “Nowadays, the industry (of fashion) needs graduates with an understanding and experience of design, but not necessarily to work as designers. Fashion drives so many industries and economies: it provides the value-added, design-focused element that makes consumers happy to splash out on something because it is fashionable — that may be a piece of clothing, an accessory, furniture, food or the latest mobile device.”

design world’s best work since 1995. I am referring to, of course, the illustrious Core77.

Considered by some to be one of the very first online magazines, Core77 is a key platform that sponsors reviews, lectures and exhibitions. A testimony to its expertise is the fact that it works with several leading design agencies and design-led companies, the likes of Apple, Nike, Philips, DuPont, and Braun. Enlisting the world’s design experts as its jury members, Core77 has, for the past several years, played host to a unique set of design awards. The awards are coveted by an array of dazzling international practices from visual communication to food design to consumer products to transportation.

In this day and age of the Internet, digital technologies and the increasingly blurred lines between fashion, film, graphics, media, music, retailing and beauty, there is a growing need for people who possess the skill to understand design in each society, economy and business. Individuals and businesses alike hoping to achieve singularity have to rely on design more than ever before as an integral component. This means that creativity, innovativeness and visual thinking are skills required of the managers and leaders of organizations in every sector if designing an identity is to be attained.

To better understand design and its influence it is essential to look into its development over time. The world of design being as fast-moving as it is makes it harder to keep up-to-date with the most relevant innovations, product releases and marketing campaigns. Fortunately, there is one clever arbiter of the design profession that has been at the fore in bringing to the public eye the

Drawing upon the firm’s expertise in the design world, Core77’s editors have put together a new book titled DESIGNING HERE/NOW. As the book offers a large-scale overview of how design can change our personal and professional lives in fresh and often unexpected ways, it is no ordinary survey of the current state of design. If you’re keen on building a strong identity for yourself, your products or your brand then picking up a copy of DESIGNING HERE/NOW would be a very smart move.

And... if after you’ve read DESIGNING HERE/NOW you need more to quench your designing identity thirst, also available at our stores are other idea-inspiring titles including DO NOT DISTURB, MONOCHROME: BLACK & WHITE IN BRANDING, VERSATILE GRAPHIC DESIGN and ULTIMATE BRANDING. We look forward to welcoming you on your next visit to Asia Books!

From the fifth to the eighth century, a series of kingdoms emerged in Southeast Asia whose rulers embraced Hinduism and Buddhism, two major religions received from India. Yet, until recently, little was known about these enigmatic early societies.

DEAR LEADER is a devastating account of North Korean life by a former Party insider describing how this totalitarian state is actually run. A cadre in Section 5 (Literature), Division 19 (Poetry) of Office 101, Jang Jin-sung was personally endorsed by Kim Jong-il for his poem glorifying the Kim dynasty and State and anointed a Poet Laureate.

DEAR LEADER exposes a never-before-seen side of North Korea and is also the story of an escape to freedom.

9781846044496THE AUTisTic BRAiNBy TEMPLE GRANDINTrade Paperback

It’s estimated that one in almost a hundred people are diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum but there is far more hope today than ever before thanks to groundbreaking new research. In this fascinating and highly readable winner of Goodreads choice awards 2013 'best non fiction,’ Temple Grandin offers her own autistic experience alongside remark-able new autistic brain discoveries. She highlights long-ignored sensory problems and the need to treat autism symptom by symptom. Most exciting of all, she argues that raising and educating autistic children should focus less on their weaknesses and more on fostering their unique contributions.
