A lavish account of Dutch designer Hella Jongerius' weaving researches, conceived as a "textile object"
Alice Rawsthorn of the New York Times credits Dutch industrial designer Hella Jongerius (born 1963) for "bringing sensuality and sophistication" back to her field. This sensuality is apparent in her curvaceous colorful vases and her futuristic textile design.
In this unique book, Jongerius and her design team, Jongeriuslab, transformed the exhibition spaces of Lafayette Anticipations in Paris into a weaving laboratory, experimenting on the future of textile making: digital, 3D and space weaving through different looms that they adapted or made from scratch. This volume, designed by the internationally acclaimed graphic designer Irma Boom, is conceived as a textile object. Placing text as weaving, using Singer stitching for the binding and mixing two different printing techniques (offset and riso), the book itself becomes a reflection of this unusual exhibition process.

Описание: This book is a study of the Russo Japanese War of 1904-1905, as seen through the eyes of the British Naval Attache, Captain William Pakenham. The complicated set of international relations at the turn of the century is reviewed, as well as the balance of sea power in the Far East, which was a matter of considerable importance to the British government. The role of the naval attache was thus of considerable importance, particularly once war had broken out.Pakenham quickly became a trusted colleague of Admiral Togo, the Japanese commander-in-chief, and went to sea with the Japanese fleet during the great battles of the naval campaign.The war had already begun before Pakenham arrived in the Far East, commencing with a lightning strike by the Japanese at the Russian base of Port Arthur. Once there Pakenham sent a stream of comprehensive reports not only describing the naval actions but also dealing with crucial matters relating for instance to the design of warships, developments in gunnery and the use of torpedoes. These were closely studied at the British Admiralty, at a time when the revolutionary design of the new battleship Dreadnought was under consideration.Pakenham, who came from a well-known naval family, was one of those personalities around whom legends grew, and he was certainly well established as an eccentric. He was greatly admired by his Japanese hosts for the courage he displayed under fire.

Psychoanalyst NATE SHELLEY and his family are back in Chicago attempting to settle into a tranquil life after escaping a European drug lord's quest for revenge. The international criminal, DIEGO MONTEMAYOR, blames Nate and his family for the death of his wife who perished in a hospital fire in the Canary Islands. Three years after their return, however, Professor MIR EPSTEIN-SHELLEY, Nate's wife, is kidnapped. Following an anonymous tip, Nate tracks down his drugged wife to a local hotel room with a dead stranger on her bed. The detective in charge of the investigation declares the death of the stranger a murder.
When the police fail to come up with the identity of the dead man or the murderer, Shelley realizes that the three-year-old problems that he thought were left behind in the Spanish archipelago, are far from over. Soon, Nate Shelley realizes that things are not what they appear to be. Although local officials enlist the help of federal authorities to solve the kidnapping and the murder, the investigation lingers without any resolution. With continued anonymous tips coming from Miro's kidnapper, Nate pursues a parallel investigation with the help of his family. At each step Nate appears to get resistance and even opposition from the legal authorities that should be helping in the investigation. Finally, Nate Shelley concludes that unless he can confront the criminals responsible for the murder, his family will never be secure.
