Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of London's Underground, or as it is affectionately referred to, the Tube. Though this isn't the usual side of the Tube the tourists, travellers and residents see. (Though, of course, they do see a great deal of strangeness in their daily commutes!). This is the real Underground, the strange and twisted nooks and crannies of what happens hundreds of metres below millions of London legs — from its peculiar past through to its paranormal present and looking forward to its fascinating future. Following on from the bestselling Portico Strangest titles now comes a book devoted to London's globally envied, and much loved, public transport system. Located deep beneath the heart of Greater London, the Underground is awash with more strangeness than you can shake your pre-paid Oyster card at. In 2013 the whole city will be celebrating the Underground's 150th birthday — the oldest underground in the world. So, pack up your old kit bag and travel stop-by-stop with us on this strange and fantastic journey along the Northern, Picadilly, Metropolitan, Jubilee, Hammersmith and City and District Line ...and explore the Underground as you've never seen it before. London Underground's Strangest Tales is a treasure trove of the humorous, the odd and the baffling — an alternative travel guide to the Underground's best-kept secrets. Read on, if you dare! You have been warned.

The Art of Faery is a celebration of spellbinding talent, showcasing some of the best fairy artists working in the US, Europe and Japan. There are a huge variety of styles to appeal to all tastes, from the gothic fantasies of Amy Brown to Myrea Pettit's gentle, playful creatures, from Hazel Brown's eerie and beguiling sylphs to Linda Ravenscroft's decadent beauties. These are modern artists who triumphantly occupy the space left by Arthur Rackham and Cicely Mary Baker. Some have rebelled against the old traditions or turned them on their head. Others celebrate the inheritance left them by these masters of the craft. All media is represented in a rich display: watercolour, pen and ink, oil, and pastel. Each artist has presented his or her favourite pieces, showing what best represents their work, revealing their inspirations and techniques, their working methods and what drives them to endlessly create. Lovingly compiled and beautifully presented, this is an indispensable volume for fans and connoisseurs alike.

The Mackintosh Style: Decor and Design	Anova Books
Автор: Wilhide Elizabeth Издательство: Anova Books, 2015	PDF, 160 страниц, 4.80 МБ 8 Оценка:
Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh is renowned for his architectural achievements on a public and domestic scale, interior design, and furniture design. This book reviews his work in context, and considers how his ideas can be interpreted. His handling of colour, use of materials, and graphic approach to form are explored, and photographs show original designs and plans. Inspired by nature, fired by the ideals of the Arts and Crafts movement, rooted in the vernacular traditions of his native region, Mackintosh's genius was to forge an entirely new style for a new age. Radical but intensely personal, his architecture, interiors and furnishings retain all their essential vigour nearly a century after they were first conceived. In this compelling study Elizabeth Wilhide considers Mackintosh's sensitive handling of colour, robust use of materials and graphic approach to form. The abundance of photographs of original schemes still in existence provide direct inspiration. His items of furniture are icons of early modern design and suppliers and listed for those currently in production.
