TARTINE BREAD

BY CHAD ROBERTSON AND ELISABETH PRUEITT 15th anniversary edition.

The definitive bread baking book from San Francisco's legendary Tartine Bakery.

This is the bread bible for the home baker or professional bread-maker. It comes from Chad Robertson, a man many consider to be the best bread baker in the United States, and co-owner with Elizabeth Prueitt of San Francisco's Tartine Bakery.

To him, bread is the foundation of a meal, the center of daily life, and each loaf tells the story of the baker who shaped it. Chad developed his unique bread over two decades of apprenticeship with the finest artisan bakers in France and the United States, as well as experimentation in his own ovens. Readers will be astonished at how elemental it is.

NAMED ONE OF THE 25 MOST INFLUENTIAL COOKBOOKS OF THE LAST 100 YEARS by The New York Times Style Magazine "The most beautiful bread book yet published."

—The New York Times

Chad Robertson trained at the Culinary Institute of America and, with his wife Elisabeth Prueitt, won the James Beard Outstanding Pastry Chef Award in 2008.

THE GRATEFUL DEAD BY JIM MARSHALL Photos and Stories from the Formative Years, 1966–1977

BY JIM MARSHALL, AMELIA DAVIS AND DAVID GANS, AFTERWORD BY JOHN MAYER One of the greatest bands of all time and one of the greatest music photographers in history meet in this incredible visual archive featuring exclusive never-before-seen photos.

Jim Marshall took thousands of photos of the Grateful Dead throughout their career—from Woodstock to the last free concert on Haight Street and beyond. Marshall’s magnificent images chronicle the band’s trajectory as hairstyles changed, relationships came and went, and the music evolved into the sound that would become beloved by generations to come.

Marshall’s instinctive eye matched the Dead’s improvisational style, and he was welcomed into its family as he immersed himself in San Francisco’s counterculture scene throughout the 1960s and ’70s.

He documented casual domestic scenes and transcendent concerts alike, offering a nuanced and intimate portrait of the band.

The striking images in this book—a third of which have never been published—are printed in the rich, high-contrast tones that Marshall favored. They include glimpses of remarkable moments like the Newport Pop Festival, Woodstock, and the Human Be-In. Quotes from contemporaries, collaborators, and members of the wider Dead community bring the images alive, while longer essays contextualize this photographic archive.

Jim Marshall, who died in 2010 at age 74, is widely celebrated as a premier music photographer and pioneer of the genre. His portfolio includes photos of virtually every major musician of his era, not only the icons of rock 'n' roll but also giants of jazz, blues, and country. Annie Leibowitz called him "THE rock 'n' roll photographer."

OUTER SPACE IS CLOSER THAN ANTARCTICA And Other Things I Learned While Falling in Love at the Bottom of the World

BY MICHELLE OTT This beautifully illustrated memoir tells artist Michelle Ott’s true story of falling in love and discovering her place in the universe on a remote research station in Antarctica.

In 2004, feeling burned out and dissatisfied, Michelle Ott left her high-profile gallery job in New York to work as a janitor at McMurdo Station in Antarctica: the coldest, windiest, driest place on Earth. There, she fell in love—not only with her future partner, but with the raw, inhospitable, incomparable beauty of the continent itself.

She took trips to nowhere on the Antarctic ice and mapped out the most romantic date locations on a remote research base where the sun never sets.

She witnessed the bright green aurora australis at -30°F, cried in response to its beauty, and found her eyes frozen shut by her tears.

She learned about (literally) breathtaking katabatic winds, ventifacts, and what it was like to bake cookies for 1000.

She dropped a piece of glacier ice into a glass of booze and consumed the ancient air bubbles that were trapped within it.

Michelle Ott is an artist whose art and illustrations focus on observations of the physical and social world. Her work has been exhibited and published in the US and abroad. She has received several awards, including the Antarctica Service Medal for her work as support staff at McMurdo Station over four summer seasons. She lives in Northern California.

In this emotional blend of art, science, and deeply personal stories, Ott shares the wisdom and wonder gleaned from her four trips to the southernmost continent.

PROMPT-BRUSH 1.0 The First Non-AI Generative Art Model

BY PABLO DELCAN In response to the rise of AI-generated art, designer Pablo Delcan takes a human-centered approach in this interpretive, illustrative collection of humorous, poignant, and universal ideas based on text prompts from the public.

Unlike AI tools that automatically generate art based on text prompts, Prompt-Brush 1.0 celebrates the creativity and sensibility of the artist's work. In this project, graphic designer and art director Pablo Delcan invited the public to submit prompts, which he then manually interpreted and translated into images.

This book is a curated selection of submitted prompts and original artwork personally created by Delcan.

Every piece has a unique, human touch.

In Delcan’s quirky and clever sensibility, prompts like “5 Second Rule” become an ice cream cone embedded with cigarette butts and debris.

The project offers a stark contrast to the instant, automated process typical of AI art models, with a personal and nuanced interpretation of the prompts.

Delcan's hand-drawn interpretations and deliberate, individual style emphasize the value of human creativity and effort over the speed and efficiency of AI models.

The collection of diverse, often humorous artworks has gained popularity for its distinctive approach and attracted attention and praise, with Fast Company calling it "infinitely more layered than its AI-generated counterpart." The simplicity of the black ink drawings is direct and childlike, offering a refreshing departure from the increasingly detailed and hyperrealistic outputs of AI art generators.

Pablo Delcan is a graphic designer and art director originally from the island of Menorca in Spain, who has made a significant impact in the world of graphic design and visual arts. He is a visual contributor to The New York Times, where he communicates complex ideas through compelling imagery.

He has designed numerous covers for The New York Times Magazine and illustrated hundreds of op-ed articles, some for noted figures such as Joe Biden, Mikhail Gorbachev, and John McWhorter.

DESIGN AGAINST RACISM Creating Work That Transforms Communities

BY OMARI SOUZA A historical and philosophical exploration of the impact of design on underserved communities, examining the field’s shortcomings as well as its potential to create positive change.

FRANK S. MATSURA Iconoclast Photographer of the American West EDITED BY MICHAEL HOLLOMAN A captivating collection of Native American portraiture by early 20th-century Japanese photographer Frank S. Matsura frames the rarely told story of his work and unique personal life.

Frank S. Matsura (1873-1913) was an immigrant photographer, a local hero, a charismatic original, an enigma, and a man of the community whose legacy has grown over time. Today, historians are still compiling the details of Frank’s unconventional life, and his identity and images are enjoying a revival. An expansion of academic scholarship, documentaries, exhibitions, and regional historical interests, particularly regarding his Native American portraiture, has resulted in a more vivid understanding of the man and his work: Matsura’s photographs of local tribal members reveal an honesty and empathy, a counterpoint to the contrived or nostalgic seen in his contemporaries’ images from the same period.

His oeuvre of just ten years (due to his unexpected passing from tuberculosis) documents everyday local events and the cacophony of characters who visited his studio for dime portraits.

There are parallels to be found between Matsura’s work and today’s society in attempts to rise above anti-Asian bias, the continued pursuit of cultural agency, and a desire to individually define what America can and should be.

Michael Holloman is a member of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation and a professor in the Department of Art at Washington State University. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in Native American art history and the studio arts.

BENDING THE RULES Fashion Beyond the Binary

BY CAMILLE BENDA Bending the Rules combines insightful text that is both engaging and deeply researched with distinctive custom graphics, timelines, and photography to explore identity and gender through fashion and dress.

Bending the Rules is a visual exploration of identity and gender throughout history. Using the lens of dress, costume, fashion, and body image, the book will highlight how we make space in society and culture for human expression. Clothing and the physical body interact intimately, so dress is a non-verbal, powerful way to delve into the boundaries that frame our views of self, identity, and gender. Fashion and dress criss-cross all parts of our experience, meaning clothes can show both serious and playful aspects of selfhood and identity: joy, longing, aspiration, power, fear, negotiation, happiness, community, fun.

In the West, a wide cultural shift has been happening in body identity, sizeism, gender pronouns, access and personal rights. In traditional, indigenous cultures, space has existed for centuries for flexible identity, gender roles, and personal definition. The gap is narrowing, but clothing, fashion and body image can show us how the West is wrestling with these global concepts while indigenous cultures are conserving or reviving ancient identity practices.

Camille Benda is an LA-based costume designer and Head of Costume Design at California Institute of the Arts, School of Theater. Benda designs costumes for film, theater, and commercials across the US and Europe and regularly speaks on dress history topics. She has a Masters of Fine Art in Theatre Design from Yale School of Drama, and a Masters of Art from the Courtauld Institute in the History of Dress.

The book will feature a rich range of resources—from art to sculpture, original illustrations to designer’s doodles, embroidery to social media.

THE VANISHING SEA The Tale of How the Aral Sea Became the Aral Desert

BY DINARA MIRTALIPOVA This artful and thought-provoking picture book shares the littleknown story of the disappearance of the Aral Sea—and the loss of livelihood and biodiversity as fishing villages and ships were left stranded in the desert without water.

The Aral Sea once stretched across modern-day Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. A large saltwater lake of Central Asia (called “sea” because of its vastness), the Aral Sea’s 26 square miles (67 square kilometers) sustained its surrounding communities for generations. Beginning in the 1960s, aggressive Soviet industrialization diverted water for agricultural production and caused the lake to shrink.

Today, the waters that had thrived for centuries have almost entirely disappeared—and along with them, the biodiversity of the lake, its thriving fishing industry, and the many homes along its shores.

Told in a folkloric style with stunning illustrations, this true tale chronicles what happens when nature’s generosity is exploited. It gently invites readers to consider the reality of irreversible environmental harm, its global impact, and what it means to be compassionate to the land we live on.

Dinara Mirtalipova is an award-winning folk illustrator and designer who was born and raised in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Her whimsical and instantly recognizable handcrafted work is inspired by Uzbek and Russian folklore and culture, which has been passed from generation to generation by her ancestors. She is the illustrator of Woven of the World—which received a BolognaRagazzi Special Mention for Nonfiction, a BIBF Ananas Grand Prix, and a Society of Illustrators Book Silver Medal—among many other books. @mirdinara

THE WORLD ENTIRE A True Story of an Extraordinary World War II Rescue

BY ELIZABETH BROWN ILLUSTRATED BY MELISSA CASTRILLÓN Everyone knows Oskar Schindler and his famous list, but few have heard of Aristides de Sousa Mendes―a Portuguese diplomat who saved the lives of thousands in World War II. This magnificently illustrated picture book biography tells a moving story that resonates profoundly today.

Here is the true and powerful story of Aristides de Sousa Mendes, who, against his government’s commands, helped refugees flee France to escape the Nazis by granting visas that allowed them entry to Portugal.

In one of the greatest individual acts of rescue in World War II, Mendes saved many thousands of people, including the artist Salvador Dalí; H.A. and Margret Rey, the creators of Curious George; professors of medicine, biology, and physics who would go on to teach in America; and thousands of others whose lives are less known but no less precious. He and his family paid dearly for it, but Aristides never regretted his actions, believing to the very end of his life that every life is worth saving.
