GEOGRAFÍA FÍSICA Y HUMANA. PHYSICAL AND HUMAN GEOGRAPHY

This book addresses core questions about the role of materials in general and of wood in particular in the construction of string instruments used in the modern symphony orchestra - violins, violas, cellos and basses. Further attention is given to materials for classical guitars, harps, harpsichords and pianos. While some of the approaches discussed are traditional, most of them depend upon new scientific approaches to the study of the structure of materials, such as for example wood cell structure, which is visible only using modern high resolution microscopic techniques. Many examples of modern and classical instruments are examined, together with the relevance of classical techniques for the treatment of wood. Composite materials, especially designed for soundboards could be a good substitute for some traditional wood species. The body and soundboard of the instrument are of major importance for their acoustical properties, but the study also examines traditional and new wood species used for items such as bows, the instrument neck, string pegs, etc. Wood species' properties for musical instruments and growth origins of woods used by great makers such as Antonio Stradivari are examined and compared with more recently grown woods available to current makers. The role of varnish in the appearance and acoustics of the final instrument is also discussed, since it has often been proposed as a `secret ingredient' used by great makers. Aspects related to strings are commented.As well as discussing these subjects, with many illustrations from classical and contemporary instruments, the book gives attention to conservation and restoration of old instruments and the physical results of these techniques. There is also discussion of the current value of old instruments both for modern performances and as works of art having great monetary value.The book will be of interest and value to researchers, advanced students, music historians, and contemporary string instrument makers. Musicians in general, particularly those playing string instruments, will also find its revelations fascinating. It will also attract the attention of those using wood for a variety of other purposes, for its use in musical instruments uncovers many of its fundamental features.Professor Neville H.

Don Quijote y la romantización de la soledad, cuenta en este catálogo, confeccionado para la exposición homónima de la Universidad de Cantabria, con un estudio introductorio del profesor de nuestra universidad Alfredo Moro Martin, especialista en la obra de Cervantes y en su desarrollo en las ediciones anglosajonas y germanas durante el siglo XIX. El riguroso estudio analiza como el personaje de Alonso de Quijano llego a ser asimilado por el Romanticismo como un modelo mas de su iconografia, en este caso, como un ejemplo de la idealizacion de la soledad, a partir de las interpretaciones de diversos ideologos, como August Wihlelm Schlegel o Friedrich von Schelling a los diversos episodios narrados e ilustrados en las sesenta y una estampas presentadas en la exposicion, realizadas por Gustave Dore y grabadas en la tecnica xilografica por Heliodore Pisan. El exito de las ilustraciones diseñadas en 1863 para la primera edicion en frances genero que rapidamente surgieran ediciones en otras lenguas tales como el ingles, el aleman o el castellano, todas ellas, verdaderas joyas de bibliofilia. La seleccion presentada en este catalogo atesora ilustraciones, a pagina completa, de la edicion en ingles de 1865 y de las ilustraciones marginales de la primera edicion en castellano de 1875.Se complementa con un programa didac...

Home of Lagerfeld to Lanvin, Paris extends its style influence well beyond Fashion Week. By the time the renowned furniture trade show Maison et Objet opens its doors, the French fashion capital reveals itself to be a barometer of taste and aesthetics and a magnet for the who's who of the interior design world. Caroline Sarkozy is one of the insiders who knows precisely how to lend apartments, houses, and lofts that "je ne sais quoi" factor. Sarkozy, who lives and works in Paris, has tremendous expertise and a unique, elegant style that is perfectly at home in luxurious interiors around the world. She grew up in Asia, the Middle East, and the USA, and together with Belgian photographer Jean-François Jaussaud, she whisks us into the personal living spaces of the most beautiful arrondissements of Paris in the second edition of Living in Style Paris. From timeless, understated interiors and ornate, yet refined Art Deco apartments to spectacular dream oases at the city's edge: captured in opulent pictures and carefully curated, this book provides an intimate look at the work of design greats such as Frédéric Méchiche and Elliott Barnes, and the exclusive hideaways in the metropolis on the Seine that are normally hidden away from prying eyes.

While a fantastic cause, can the task of protecting animal rights and habitats also be fun? The answer for Spanish photographer Yago Partal is "yes!" as he joyfully embraces important environmental activism with his form of inventive entertainment. His aim is to increase our awareness of animals who need protection—from the Amur leopard to the plains zebra—with his Zoo Portraits project, which launched in 2013. The project presents animals in anthropomorphized form, wearing clothing and accessories that echo the animal's temperament and preferred habitat. It is not Partal's intention to create distance or make light of the animals, but rather to make people think and nudge them to get involved in protecting animals via pictures, education, and awareness. Mission accomplished: Yago Partal's wonderful animal portraits have found a huge audience, with media like CBS and the Daily Mail reporting enthusiastically on the phenomenon. Beautiful, functional products including iPhone cases and even clothes hangers are available for purchase under the Zoo Portraits label. Ten percent of all proceeds are donated to animal welfare organizations. The book has the same objective: to make people smile as well as inform them. In addition to the unique pictures, there is information on each animal's habitat, size, and population as well as interesting and surprising facts. Presented in a clear and attractive format, this book is equally exciting for children and adults.

TASCHEN se enorgullece de presentar la última, definitiva y muy esperada publicación del artista David LaChapelle, un proyecto en dos volúmenes que completa la antología en cinco tomos de su trayecto

Este libro es un cruce entre un manual de uso para quien no conozca profundamente el universo de los superhéroes y una guía histórica para los aficionados a sus hazañas, que se cuentan por legiones. Esta es también una obra dedicada a la parte más humana de unos personajes surgidos de los pinceles y los textos de unos jóvenes creadores que encontraron en las revistas populares el medio perfecto para dar a conocer su arte, para dar rienda suelta a su trabajo. La vasta imaginación de personajes como Stan Lee o Jack Kirby, entre otros, desembocó en la creación de unos superhéroes que nos han acompañado en cada etapa de la vida, desde la infancia hasta la madurez. Esta es la historia de todos ellos.

Una guía ilustrada con indicaciones paso a paso para descubrir diferentes maneras de ahorrar tiempo, dinero y energía.

SOFIA ASPE. INTERIORISMO

Photographs by Ricardo Labougle Text by Ana Domínguez Siemens.

The human figure has been represented in clay throughout history and continues to evolve today. Artists are working with the figure in new ways, playing with materials and forms, and making use of new technologies to produce challenging and unconventional work, from the intact whole figure to the fragmented, hybrid and abstract. Ceramics and the Human Figure profiles an international range of ceramic artists, all practicing within the fields of installation and sculpture. Divided by broad themes, each chapter explores a variety of different expressive works. The book explores the role of figurative ceramics through history and in contemporary contexts. It also reveals the methods of six key artists, using how-to images to illustrate their techniques. For artists, collectors, and anyone interested in these themes, Ceramics and the Human Figure is an exciting survey of the state of the figure in clay today.

“Il Tintoretto è stato adorno di quei più nobili requisiti che valgono a costituire un pittore nella sublimità maggiore d'arte sì rara ed eccellente.”

"Avere un bell'aspetto e vestire in modo adeguato è un bisogno dell'uomo. Avere uno scopo nella vita, invece, no." "La moda è una forma di bruttezza talmente insopportabile che siamo costretti a cambiarla ogni sei mesi."

El arte no es sino un medio para ver, para ver lo invisible en lo visible. Y Apollinaire, Picasso, Duchamp, De Chirico o Picabia encontraron en los rayos-x y la huella de su paso a través de los cuerpos un recurso analogico con que dar a ver sus visiones. Esta incursion en el arte de comienzos del siglo XX se ocupa de las resonancias del descubrimiento de los rayos-x en el pensamiento y la practica artistica de la epoca, planteando que, mas alla de categorizaciones ismicas simplificadoras y de matices propios de toda subjetividad, todos estos artistas reclamaban un realismo mas profundo y dinamico que el realismo mimetico canonico. Todos querian ser mas realistas, superrealistas. Y encontraron en los rayos x una analogia idonea, tanto formal como procesual, de ese modo de ver y presentar la realidad en profundidad, desplegando inagotablemente nuevos horizontes de vision y de conocimiento, en la que todos ellos se empeñaron.
