MAY 2015

A Natural History of the Redhead Jacky Colliss Harvey The brilliantly told, captivating history of red hair throughout the ages and across multiple disciplines, including science, religion, politics, feminism and sexuality, literature, and art

T

he mere mention of red hair calls to mind vivid pictures.

Stereotypes of redheaded women range from the funloving scatterbrain, like Lucille Ball, to the fiery-tempered vixen or the penitent prostitute (Mary Magdalene, for example, is almost always depicted as a redhead). Red-haired men are often associated with either the savage barbarian or the redheaded clown. But why is this so?

Red: A Natural History of the Redhead is the first book to explore the history of red hair and red-headedness throughout the world.

With an obsessive fascination that is as contagious as it is compelling, author Jacky Colliss Harvey begins her quest in prehistory and traces the redhead gene as it made its way out of Africa with the early human diaspora, only to emerge under Northern skies. She goes on to explore red hair in the ancient world (from the Tarim mummies in China to the Islamic kingdom of the Khazars); the prejudice manifested against red hair across medieval Europe; red hair during the Renaissance as both an indicator of Jewishness during the Inquisition and the height of fashion in Protestant England, where it was made famous by the Henry VIII and Elizabeth I; the modern age of art, and literature, and the first positive symbols of red hair in children’s characters; modern medicine and science and the genetic and chemical decoding of red hair; and finally, red hair in contemporary culture, from advertising and exploitation to “gingerism” and the new movement against bullying.

More than a book for redheads, Red is the exploration of evolution and gene mutation, as well as a compelling social and cultural study of how prejudice and misconceptions of “other” evolve across centuries and continents and are handed down through generations and from one culture to another.

Jacky Colliss Harvey is a writer and editor. She studied English at Cambridge University and art history at the Courtauld Institute. She has worked in museum publishing for the past 20 years and is a commentator and reviewer who speaks in both the U.K. and abroad on the arts and their relation to popular culture. Her red hair has also found her an alternative career as a life model and a film extra playing everything from a society lady in Atonement to a Parisian whore in Bel-Ami. She lives in London.

A History Of Baseball In 100 Objects

MARCH 2015

From Babe Ruth's Bat to the Reggie Candy Bar Josh Leventhal The only book of its kind to tell the history of baseball, from its inception to the present day, through 100 objects that represent the major milestones, events, and larger-than-life personalities that make up the game

T

he History of Baseball in 100 Objects is a visual and historical record of the game as told through essential documents, letters, photographs, equipment, memorabilia, food and drink, merchandise and media items, and relics of popular culture, each of which represents the history and evolution of the game.

Among these objects are the original ordinance banning baseball in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in 1791 (the earliest known reference to the game in America); the “By-laws and Rules of the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club,” 1845 (the first codified rules of the game); Fred Thayer’s catcher’s mask from the 1870s (the first use of this equipment in the game); a scorecard from the 1903 World Series (the first World Series); Grantland Rice’s typewriter (the role of sportswriters in making baseball the national pastime); Babe Ruth’s bat, circa 1927 (the emergence of the long ball); Pittsburgh Crawford’s team bus, 1935 (the Negro Leagues); Jackie Robinson’s Montreal Royals uniform, 1946 (the breaking of the color barrier); a ticket stub from the 1951 Giants-Dodgers playoff game and Bobby Thomson’s “Shot Heard ’Round The World” (one of baseball’s iconic moments); Sandy Koufax’s Cy Young Award, 1963 (the era of dominant pitchers); a “Reggie!” candy bar, 1978 (the modern player as media star); Rickey Henderson’s shoes, 1982 (baseball’s all-time-greatest base stealer); the original architect’s drawing for Oriole Park at Camden Yards (the ballpark renaissance of the 1990s); and Barry Bond’s record-breaking bat (the age of Performance Enhancing Drugs).

A full-page photograph of the object is accompanied by lively text that describes the historical significance of the object and its connection to baseball’s history, as well as additional stories and information about that particular period.

Josh Leventhal is an editor and the author of the best-selling book Take Me Out to the Ballpark, The World Series: An Illustrated History of the Fall Classic, and Baseball Yesterday & Today, among others.

He lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

6 | Black Dog & Leventhal

merican Homes opens the window onto the rich landscape of all the places we call home. Award-winning architect Lester Walker examines hundreds of styles of homes—more than any other survey of American domestic architecture—and helps us understand the history of each style, why it developed as it did, and the practical and historical reasons behind its shape, size, material, ornament, and plan. Hundreds of sequenced drawings illustrate the evolution of our most beloved housing styles, like the colonial English Cottage, which grows before our eyes from a simple square of posts and beams to a fully constructed home with hand-split cedar clapboards and an intricately thatched roof. There’s also the Italianate, whose roof displays its intricate carved brackets and is topped with a cupola that serves to filter light to the interior of the home. Annotated floor plans offer insight into the structure of these homes, and with it, a good measure of inspiration. No wrought-iron railing, white stucco wall, or gingerbread gable goes neglected. Every idiosyncratic detail and decoration of each of these uniquely American designs is delicately drawn.

American Homes is the perfect reference for enthusiasts of architecture, history, and American studies. It is also the ideal inspiration for anyone who lives in or dreams of living in a classic American home.

Lester Walker is an award-winning architect and author of numerous books related to houses and architecture. He was professor of architecture at City College of New York and has lectured and presented seminars at Harvard University, MIT, UCLA, and the Rhode Island School of Design. His work has appeared in such magazines as House Beautiful, Time, House and Garden, and Progressive Architecture.

He lives in Woodstock, New York, where his architectural firm is based.

aris during the Belle Époque (1880–1914) was a time when peace and prosperity allowed for towering innovation in art, fashion, architecture, and gastronomy. The city at this time was the epicenter of art and music. Fauré, Saint Saëns, Debussy, and Ravel were composing; Rodin was working on The Thinker; Renoir, Monet, Cézanne, Pissarro, and Degas painted scenes depicting everyday life; and Pablo Picasso embarked on his Blue Period. As Art Nouveau came into fashion, new buildings followed suit. Opéra Garnier, Castel Beranger, Moulin Rouge, and the Paris Metro entrances were all built during this time.

Galeries Lafayette unveiled its gilded department store, which sold couture to the aspiring middle class.

This burgeoning creativity and prosperity, as well as the city and the inhabitants who embraced it, are all captured here, with stunning clarity and realism. Paris in 3D’s innovative and inimitable package includes a sturdy metal stereoscopic viewer, 35 rarely seen stereoscopic photographs of the city at the turn of the century, and an accompanying 128-page paperback, which provides a brief history of the stereograph craze and an overview of the city’s evolution during that time.

.

Easy-to-Follow Patterns for a Cat, Mouse, Guinea Pig, Pony and More Adorable Companions Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne Have you always wanted to knit your very own furry friend but didn’t know how to start? Knit Your Own Pet, from the authors of the beloved and best-selling Knit Your Own series, is an adorable guide to knitting your own fish, bird, pony, rabbit, dog, cat, and more!

T

he best-selling Knit Your Own Dog and Knit Your Own Cat books have instructed countless smitten knitters in ways to replicate their own beloved pets in soft yarn. But what of the devoted ferret owner or goldfish lover who wishes to craft a loyal pet? What is a pony owner to do? At last comes Knit Your Own Pet, the latest book in the best-selling Knit Your Own series by Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne. The 15 patterns in Knit Your Own Pet cover a menagerie of creatures with whom we share our homes, including a hamster, rabbit, canary, Shetland pony, goldfish, bearded dragon, tortoise, snake, axolotl, and a simple dog and cat.

Somewhat different from the other Knit Your Own books, this book is designed for beginners and young knitters and includes a knitting lesson. Readers who have mastered the basics can move on to knitting a mouse or goldfish (the easiest animals) and build to more complex pets like a parrot or a ferret. Along with the knitting patterns provided here, Muir and Osborne also include brief accounts of the characteristics of the various species and offer tips and advice on sewing up the animals.

Best of all, these knitted animals are much easier to look after than the real things—they don’t eat, there are no vet bills, and they live forever!

Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne run their own knitwear business, Muir and Osborne (www.muirandosborne.co.uk). They have a shop in London and export their knitwear to stores in the U.S., Japan, and Europe, including Barneys New York, Saks Fifth Avenue, Liberty, and The Cross.

They won the U.K. Fashion Export Small Business Award in 2002, and several pieces of their knitwear are in the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Their previous books include Knit Your Own Dog, Knit Your Own Cat, Knit Your Own Dog: The Second Litter, and Knit Your Own Zoo.

Perfect for students, history buffs, and political junkies, The President’s Fact Book is at once an expansive collage of our nation’s 44 individual presidents and a comprehensive view of American history.

No one knows when humans began creating art.

The earliest paintings were found in caves from 30,000 years ago! Since then, art has been an important presence in cultures around the world from the pyramids in Ancient Egypt and sculptures in Ancient Greece to tapestries in the Middle Ages and ceremonial masks in Africa.

Beginning with cave paintings of 18,000 BC, A Child’s Introduction to Art explores periods from art and artists throughout history. It highlights thirty-five well-known painters and sculptors including Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol.

Here are the great works of these famous artists, their biographies, explanations of their particular techniques and what inspired each of them to paint. Read about how American painter Mary Cassatt was one of the only women to attend art school in the 1800’s, how Spanish painter Diego Velázquez started working as an artist’s apprentice when he was only twelve years old, and how Auguste Rodin, one of the most famous sculptors in history, was rejected from most famous art school in Paris three times!

Uncover the hidden meanings and surprises like the fact that Spanish painter Salvador Dalí hid a portrait if himself in his Persistence of Memory.

And, learn the secrets behind of how some of the world’s most famous paintings were created, like how Leonardo da Vinci brought in clowns and musicians to entertain the real-life Mona Lisa, and that Vincent Van Gogh painted Starry Night from his hospital room.

After reading about these famous artists and their work, you’ll be ready to create your own art through projects like Q-tip pointillism, surreal collages, and splattering artwork.
