The official, intimate and candid biography charting the second act of Suede, one of the UKs biggest bands.This year will mark thirty-three years since Suede released their debut eponymous album and sixteen since their glorious and unexpected comeback in 2010.Their two most recent albums - Autofiction in 2022 and Antidepressants in 2025 - both reached number two in the UK charts.As One is an intimate and candid biography of one of the UKs biggest bands during the unlikely second act of a career that spans four decades. It is a book that studies the band from close up and afar, written by award-winning author Rodge Glass, who has been granted unprecedented access to the band at home, on stage, backstage, in the studio, rehearsing and promoting over the past three years. It is an honest, long-term interrogation of what it is really like to be in Suede. The book asks difficult questions about how great bands survive and thrive over time, many years after their first flush of success. How do you build back up from nothing? How do you reconnect with your audience, while avoiding simply rehashing old ideas? How do relationships in a band change with time? How do you remake Suede?

Texts explore the multifaceted conceptual practice of the artist Ilana Halperin.Ilana Halperin (b.1973) is an artist who shares her birthday with an Icelandic volcano. Working through the aesthetics of geology since the late 1990s, her multifaceted, conceptual practice unearths the intimate poetics of rocks, minerals, and body stones. Halperins fieldwork has led her from erupting volcanoes in Hawaii to petrifying caves in France and geothermal springs in Japan. Felt Events surveys the last two decades of Halperins output (1999-2020), representing a mid-career moment of reflection.Felt Events includes critical and experimental writing from international curators, Lisa Le Feuvre and Naoko Mabon, art historians Andrew Patrizio and Dominic Paterson, anthropologist Jerry Zee, and writer Nicola White. It also offers examples of Halperins performance lectures, some of which appear in print for the first time. This collection introduces Halperins work to new generations of artists, writers, and environmental activists--those who will shape the critical landscapes of the twenty-first century.

A reclamation of rocknroll for the Black artists who tore up and re-wrote its rules, by musician, arts and culture journalist and die-hard alternative music superfan, Stephanie Phillips.We Were Here promises to rip up our received history of rock n roll and alternative music and repopulate it with the extraordinary Black artists and influential figures who truly steered its course from the 1930s to the present day, including vital figures Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Little Richard, Jimi Hendrix, Tina Turner, Betty Davis, Poly Styrene, Bad Brains and beyond. As well as reflecting on why Black people have continued to be drawn to alternative music despite their ongoing ostracization from it by the white mainstream industry, Phillips argues that there would be no alternative music without Black artists, and that its future lies in the hands of Gen Z Black musicians experimenting with the boundaries of what punk, metal, hardcore and indie could be.

This beautiful book is a masterclass in classical oil painting.

It follows the principles of atelier training and is structured using the six fundamental components of form, values, edges, colour, paint handling and composition. With a strong emphasis on learning by doing, it supports the theory with demonstrations, examples and exercises, providing a complete account of this compelling medium.

A celebration of a much-cherished pop group and a long-overdue companion to their unique musical output.Rolling Stone called him the last pop genius, while Richard Osman claimed he is the most unfairly overlooked lyricist of his generation.Paddy McAloon is undoubtedly one of the great songwriters of the last half-century. As the leader of Prefab Sprout, hes overseen ten heavily praised albums, including the classic Steve McQueen, along with a trail of hit singles, among them When Love Breaks Down and The King of Rock n Roll. His songs have been sung by Kylie and Cher. Others were written for Madonna, Sinatra and Streisand.But despite the commercial success and abundant critical acclaim, McAloon remains an enigmatic figure within the bright, brash world of pop. The semi-reclusive Prefab Sprout have seldom followed paths trod by others. They rarely toured. They took their time to make records. They always danced to their own drum.A lifelong fan of the band, acclaimed writer Nige Tassell attempts to illuminate the mystery, to uncloak the enigma. Truly Gifted Kids is the deepest dive ever made into McAloons craft, exploring the motivations and methods of a man who, 13 years since the bands last album, still obsessively marries melody to words on a daily basis, in the process building up an enormous stockpile of songs that no one will hear.Occasionally esoteric and freeform, and always original, Truly Gifted Kids pulls together stories, interviews, analysis, history and travelogue to fashion a fulsome portrait of the band, with its chief creative force at the very centre. During his investigations, Tassell both acts as an ad-hoc roadie for solo Sprout Martin McAloon and goes undercover in search of pop musics most famous motorbike.At its beating, romantic heart, Truly Gifted Kids is a celebration of a much-cherished pop group, a long-overdue companion to their wonderful music.

"A powerful and urgent call to actionfor the health and safety of half of our population, its time we rethink the male body ideal and build a world that includes us all.Dr. Elizabeth Comen, MD, medical oncologist, associate professor of medicine at NYU Langone, and bestselling author of All in Her HeadThis book challenges us to ask new questions and, more important, to question old answers. John Hoke III, chairman of the board of MillerKnoll and former chief innovationdesign officer of Nike, Inc.An industrial designer and former Global Creative Director at Nike delivers a sharp critique of the consequences of a world built by and for men, and offers an optimistic look at how we might build a better world for us all.Women and men inhabit the same world, yet it does not suit them both equally.Women are 73% more likely to be injured in a car crash than men. In the military, women suffer pelvic fractures at a much higher rate than their male counterparts. In construction, 90% of women are unable to find proper fitting safety gear.These outcomes are not a coincidencethey are a result of products where the female population is an afterthought at best. Automobile crash test dummies used for safety tests are designed based on male anatomy, as is firefighting gear and personal protective equipment. Using a shrink it and pink it strategy, sneakers for women are scaled down versions originally designed for a mans foot, and colored a stereotypical feminine color like pink. In the design of products and places, the female body is often invisible and ignored. The result is a world less hospitable and more dangerous for women.It doesnt have to be this way. A designer for over 40 years at some of the worlds top corporations, including Reebok and Nike, Karen Korellis Reuther has witnessed the way women continue to be excluded from critical product design decisions. But Man-Made, isnt a patriarchal lament; it is a rousing call to action drawn from research-backed insights, market analyses, and expertise from leading designers, executives, and economists.From the simply insulting and uncomfortable to the dangerous and deadly, the effects of exclusively man-made designs are wide-ranging. Rethinking and expanding product design and architecture, Reuther contends, will not only create a world that better fits women, but a world that better fits everyone.

Yet, in keeping with Toufics practicewhich participates in untimely collaboration (including with future filmmakers, thinkers, and artists) and abides in the suspension of the avenir of messianism/Mahdismsome of these works remain forthcoming even after their inclusion in the Collected Writings.Volume 1 (2025) includes newly revised editions of Toufics first three booksDistracted (1991/2003); (Vampires): An Uneasy Essay on the Undead in Film (1993/2003); and Over-Sensitivity (1996/2009)together with the script Jouissance in Postwar Beirut (2014) and, new, The Unreviewed Writings of a Peerless Thinker (2024).

Rewiring Narratives: New Media Art from the Arab World rethinks the positioning of artistic and media practices from the Arab world in the grander discourse of New Media Art; not through the mere filling of representational gaps, but through a rethinking of the field as a whole. Emphasizing localized histories, cultural frameworks, political contexts, and technological conditions, this volume maps a dispersed yet interconnected terrain of Arab artists, institutions, and works that challenge linear notions of modernity and authorship. The editorial essay by Haytham Nawar and Ala Younis calls for a methodological shift; situating Arab media art through its own material and social conditions, from early cinema and state infrastructures to post-2011 digital practices, positioning it as dynamic rather than derivative. Contributions by artists and scholars range from essays on medias historical roots, code-based painting, and video art flows, to studies of Egyptian cinema, Moroccan media, gaming, archives, and digital glitches. Published following Maknana: An Archaeology of New Media Art from the Arab World (Diriyah Art Futures, 2025), the book foregrounds Arab media art as a site of original experimentation, innovation, and global dialogue.
