artin Scorsese is one of the most respected names in cinema, with a track record that puts

him firmly among the all-time greats of filmmaking.

Scorsese’s directorial debut was in 1963, with a movie he made while still a student at New York University.

He achieved superstar status, not just for himself as a director but also for Robert de Niro as an actor, with the classic Taxi Driver in 1976. Since then, Scorsese’s name has become synonymous with movies that make the spine tingle–Raging Bull, Casino, The Departed—and of course, Goodfellas.

Paris during the interwar years. She had a legendary

hen New York–based graphic designers and long-time friends Timothy Goodman and Jessica Walsh found

themselves single at the same time, they decided to try an

experiment. The old adage says that it takes 40 days to change a habit—could the same be said for love? So they agreed to date each other for 40 days, record their experiences in questionnaires, photographs, videos, texts, and artworks, and post the material on a website they would create for this purpose.

What began as a small experiment between two friends became an Internet sensation, drawing 5 million unique (and obsessed) visitors from around the globe to their site and their

Prairie Cookbook Memories and Frontier Food from My Little House to Yours

by Melissa Gilbert ■

P h oto g r a P h s by Da n e h o lw e g e r

n My Prairie Cookbook, Melissa Gilbert, star of Little House on the Prairie, offers fans comforting family recipes and childhood favorites. From prairie breakfasts and picnic

lunches to treats inspired by Nellie’s restaurant, the 80 simple and delicious dishes—crispy

fried chicken, pot roasts, corn bread, apple pie, and more—present Bonnet Heads (diehard Little House fans) with the chance to eat like the Ingalls family.

Gilbert’s personal recollections and memorabilia, including behind-the-scenes stories, anecdotes, and more than 75 treasured scrapbook images, accompany the recipes. With answers to the most-asked questions from fans—on topics including the biggest bloopers, on-set romances, and what Michael London was really like—My Prairie Cookbook is a cherished memento for Little House fans and fans of simple prairie cooking alike.

Melissa Gilbert starred as Laura Ingalls on the hit show Little House on the Prairie.

Post–Little House, Gilbert has appeared in Lifetime movies, served as president of the Screen Actors Guild, and wrote Prairie Tale: A Memoir. Most recently, she was a contestant on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. Gilbert is married to fellow actor Timothy Busfield.

lassic American style was born in British boathouses, where the very first blazers were fashioned for college rowing clubs. This book, created by champion rower Jack Carlson, offers an insider’s guide to the elaborately striped, piped,

trimmed, and badged garments, as well as the stories, elite athletes, historic clubs, and races associated with them. Featuring lush photographs by “prep” guru F.E. Castleberry, Rowing Blazers is a definitive visual feast, transporting readers to the highly

atmospheric boathouses, campuses, and team rooms of clubs around the world. For anyone who has raced the rivers or lined the banks, this handsome ode to the eye-catching, evocative rowing blazer is a must.

Jack Carlson, who has raced in the World Rowing Championships and the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Races, won all three of the traditional international rowing regattas in 2013. He is currently a Clarendon Scholar at Oxford University. F.E. Castleberry is an American fashion photographer. His commercial clients include Ralph Lauren, J. McLaughlin, Club Monaco, Elizabeth McKay, and Penfield. His work has been featured in GQ, Women’s Wear Daily, and Town & Country, as well as in Preppy: Cultivating Style.

rom political activism comes the art of protest, symbols, and designs that defy standard definitions.

This timely book shows how objects can change the world by out-designing authority. Included are arts of rebellion from around the globe: banners, defaced currency, designs for barricades and blockades, political video games, an inflatable general assembly to facilitate consensus decision-making, experimental activist-bicycles, and textiles bearing witness to political murders—along with earlier inspirational objects of protest such as a suffragette tea set and the barricades and balloons of the Paris Commune. Disobedient Objects focuses on the period from 1980 to the present, a time that brought new technologies and political challenges to protest movements. Provocative and engaging, this book showcases how artists have produced work within the context of social movements, which become the vibrant engines for ingenuity and collective creativity.

he dollhouse is both subversive and seductive.

Dollhouses provide a microcosmic view of the

9 781851 778195

world and preserve vanished aspects of daily life and

culture. But they also present an idealized version of life, sometimes airbrushing out the more basic and functional elements of everyday living. This new volume uses the dollhouse’s contradictions to explore interior design, new technology, professions, and family relationships, considering such topics as the role of the domestic servant and the gendering of spaces and household roles. The V&A Museum of Childhood’s collection of dollhouses, representing homes and ways of living spanning three and a half centuries, provides the backdrop for these tales. For collectors and casual fans alike, the tiny rooms of dollhouses hold many stories.

Halina Pasierbska, former curator of the Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood, has researched the history of the dollhouse and its furnishings for a number of years.

his fascinating book explores Italian fashion at the beginning of the 20th century, tracing its growth through two world wars to emerge as a dominant

force in global fashion. When the Lombard tailor Rosa Genoni created the first

Italian fashion house, she broke free of the prevailing French style and launched a national industry. Illustrated with archival material from the design houses as well as illustrations from the earliest Italian fashion magazines, the book focuses on the most important designers from the period: Gabriella di Robilant, the Italian “inventor” of sportswear; Salvatore Ferragamo and his famous orthopedic shoes; and Elsa Schiaparelli, the first great protagonist of Italian style. These are the designers who shaped Italian fashion, and their influence continues to be felt today.

ARt orn in Germany in 1945, Anselm Kiefer is one of the most important artists of his generation. His

works—encompassing and transcending painting, sculpture,

photography, and installation—are epic in both scale and subject matter; in them, Kiefer wrestles with the darkness of German history, unearthing the taboos that underlie the collective past and interweaving them with Teutonic mythology, cosmology, and meditations on the nature of belief.

eter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) is undoubtedly the most influential of all Flemish painters. Himself indebted to Titian, Rubens

became a role model to Van Dyck, Rembrandt, and Velázquez, and influenced artists well beyond his time, including figures such as

Cézanne, Picasso, Bacon, and Freud. This sumptuous new volume explores Rubens’s legacy thematically, through a series of sections devoted to violence, power, lust, compassion, elegance, and poetry.

Each section will link artists across the centuries in their references to Rubens, from Van Dyck and Watteau to Manet, Daumier, Renoir, and Van Gogh, as well as Gainsborough, Constable, and Turner.

There are also no birthdays—only deathdays. Scarper’s deathday is just three weeks away, and he clings to the mundane repetition of his life at home and high school for comfort.
