Linda Ashcroft offers an intimate memoir of Jim Morrison at the height of his career. This vivid portrait is based on her diaries from the four-year period when she knew Morrison. "Wild Child," one of Morrison''s most popular songs, was written for Ashcroft. Morrison''s dreams and demons, and the meaning behind his lyrics and poems, are revealed through Ashcroft''s evocative writing. Wild Child is a richly detailed and passionate account of what life was like with the legendary Doors singer. It is also the first book to illuminate the mystery of Morrison''s death through the words of the woman who was with him when he died in Paris, Pamela Courson. Before flying to Paris, Morrison told the author: "It may have been in bits and pieces, but I gave you the best of me." In return, Linda Ashcroft gives us the best of Jim Morrison.

Sin duda, la idea de escapar a lugares remotos para reconectarse con la naturaleza ha ampliado los límites experienciales, pero las cabañas tradicionales prevalecen como estructuras atemporales que celebran integrarse en el entorno.El vidrio y la madera cobran protagonismo como materiales predominantes utilizados por dentro y por fuera.Las generosas aperturas y su diseño, abren los espacios interiores a la luz del dia y a las vistas.Los principios sostenibles evolucionan para reflejar el uso de materiales y tecnologia que esta intrinsecamente ligado a un lugar y a un tiempo.Tales principios ya se implantaron en la arquitectura vernacula mediante la consideracion de factores geograficos, topograficos, climaticos, asi como culturales e historicos.

Many have tried to convey the true spirit of Africa's animals in words, photography, or in music. There may be no challenge greater; Africa's fauna are vast in number and rich in diversity. In this finely crafted collection, French photographer Laurent Baheux uses the medium of black-and-white photography to capture the intricate details of both the wondrous beasts and the magnificent settings in which they dwell. This wide-ranging volume lays particular emphasis on his subjects' individual spirits-revealing all of their vulnerability while losing nothing of their raw vitality. Every photograph is so carefully composed and well lit that the details equal the evocative precision of an Old Masters portrait. Through Baheux's eyes we get close to creatures that will both inspire and humble us all.

Catálogo de la exposición celebrada en el Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, 5 abril-15 agosto de 2016, organizada con el Centro Pompidou. Iniciador de una pintura mestiza que unía modernismo occidental y simbolos africanos y caribeños, Wifredo Lam (Sagua La Grande, 1902-Paris, 1982) se codeo con todas las vanguardias del momento, afrontando tambien los problemas del mundo. La exposicion vuelve sobre la genesis de su trabajo pero tambien sobre las diversas etapas y condiciones de la recepcion e integracion progresivas de una obra pacientemente construida entre España, Paris-Marsella y Cuba. Traza la singular trayectoria del artista a traves de doscientas cincuenta obras pinturas, dibujos, grabados, ceramicas completada con mas de trescientos documentos cartas, fotografias, revistas, libros. Este vasto material ilumina el contexto de su trabajo y de su pensamiento, deteniendose en sus años en España (1923-1938), en los sorprendentes grabados de los años sesenta y setenta y en sus colaboraciones con los mas destacados escritores de su tiempo, asi como en las obras capitales creadas a la vuelta a su Cuba natal (1940-1950), y, en definitiva, muestra una vida comprometida dentro de un siglo agitado.

Founded in 1903 by Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Fritz Waemdorfer, the Wiener Werkstatte ("Vienna Workshop") was a collective of architects and craftsmen which aimed at fusing architecture and interior design into a Gesamtkunstwerk, or total work of art. Experimenting with various materials (gold, precious stones, and papier mache, for example), the artists of the Wiener Werkstatte created buildings and objects which combined classical elegance with streamlined functionality. Though the workshop lasted only thirty years, its influence is still strong today. Another stroke of genius by TASCHEN, a gloriously illustrated in-depth account of the 'total work of art' and the most important achievements of that creative endeavor. design report, Stuttgart
