About this title: William Spratling revolutionized silver jewellery design in Mexico. Arriving in Taxco in 1929, by 1940 he had over 100 silversmiths producing his enormously popular silver creations. Important figures of the North American literary and art establishment, among them John dos Passos, William Faulkner and Georgia O''Keeffe, purchased his designs and sang his praises. Out of Spratling''s workshop emerged many of Mexico''s finest silver designers, including Hector Aguilar, Antonio Castillo and his brothers Jorge and Justo, Salvador Teran and Antonio Pineda. Their stiking jewellery and hollow-ware in silver - often set with precious stones and pre-Columbian artefacts - are prized collectibles.

The book is published in conjunction with an expedition at the Asia Society from September 14, 2004 to January 23, 2005

Eminem is currently the worlds biggest and most controversial music star. He has been blasted for what many of his critics regards as overtly homophobic and misogynistic lyrics, and resented both for his record-breaking commercial success and being a white man in a black genre. But Eminems sheer talent has transcended such condemnation and established him as the most important figure to come out of popular music since Kurt Cobain. Whatever You Say I Am based on exclusive interviews with members of Eminems family, key figures in the music business, sociologists and reviewers and featuring previously unpublished photographs is the first book to reveal the man behind the controversy. Most crucially, Anthony Bozzas unprecedented access to Eminem himself makes him uniquely qualified to answer the big question why does Eminem matter? The answer is found in Eminems unlikely life story, in his extraordinary ascent to super-stardom and in an analysis of his music and lyrics. Whatever You Say I Am will keep Eminems legions of fans riveted, and will enlighten his critics.
