The Chronology of Fashion

R-DRES-ChronFashion-BLAD NEW.indd 1

29/09/2009 12:34

The Chronology of Fashion Spring 2011 The Chronology of Fashion focuses on those points when a distinctive style of suit or dress, hat or handbag, cut of hair or cloth, or indeed entire look—that began perhaps as an extravagance or catwalk creation but then spread through society—came to pinpoint its moment in time or radiate out to express its entire era. Proceeding with strict chronology, each spread takes as its main muse a distinct fashion item, be it a high heel or a low skirt, and displays it in contemporary images.

N.J. Stevenson has worked in the industry as a writer and stylist since 1996. An alumni of the London College of Fashion, she specialized in vintage while working in the industry, before gaining an MA in Fashion Curation. She now lectures in Styling and Fashion in Film.

2000 2020 A chronological pursuit of pattern in art: from lotus flower to flower power

ADBC

Mary Schoeser

The Chronology of Pattern

The Chronology of Pattern Fall 2011 The Chronology of Pattern is a biography of patterns of a variety of forms, from the ancient Egyptian lotus flower through to flower power of the Sixties. Architectural, painted, and engraved patterns are presented alongside more typical textile examples. Uniquely, motifs are plucked from backgrounds and brought to the fore, with the essential details isolated and framed as “tiles.� This permits a detailed study of how eras and individual artists can be recognized by the patterns at the heart of their art.

Mary Schoeser studied dress, textiles, and art at the University of California and the Courtauld Institute of Art. She is Senior Research Fellow at Central Saint Martins and founding co-editor of Textile: The Journal of Cloth & Culture.

John May is a writer on a wide variety of topics. He has been a campaigning journalist on environmental issues since the 1970s and is author of the official history of Greenpeace.

Anthony Reid, consultant editor, has been lecturing on vernacular architecture since 2001.

HOW TO READ

CHURCHES A crash course in Christian architecture

Henry Tilney

How to Read Churches Spring 2011 How to Read Churches covers the development of all the Western Christian ecclesiastical buildings—churches, cathedrals, chapels, abbeys, and monasteries—from Anglo-Saxon stone halls to the eclectic buildings of the 19th century.

Church building has reflected or initiated changes in building styles, but whatever the outer aspect the buildings still express liturgical function and spiritual symbolism. This book demonstrates how this expression is made by the building’s shape, its architectural elements, and its interior organization and ornament.

Henry Tilney read theology at Oxford where he found himself increasingly fascinated by the way in which church architecture reflected the changes in the history and spread of Christianity.

He studied architectural history in London.

R-AVIA-Avian Architect BLAD.indd 1

16/04/2009 15:47

Birds are the most consistently inventive builders, and their nests set the bar for the best nature has to offer in terms of functional design.

Avian Architecture deconstructs every type of nest by rendering it as an architectural blueprint, annotating in detail the construction and engineering techniques. An expert commentary shows how bird building might inspire our own architecture. The combination of cuttingedge text, intricate illustration, and beautiful photography reveals the science and significance of the humble nest, creating a reference that will be fascinating to engineers, architects, and students of bird behavior alike.

30- SECOND ECONOMICS

A “Crash” course in the top 50 economic theories

Editor Emma Long

In these times of financial crisis, the economic consensus of the past 15 years is dead. What seemed an esoteric discipline relevant only to bankers and academics is now important to all of us. Does a truly free market exist? Is it possible to spend our way out of recession?

What are our choices? 30-Second Economics takes the 50 most significant economic theories of the past 120 years, and challenges financial high-flyers to explain them to the general reader in half a minute, using no more than two pages, 300 words, and one picture. From neo-liberalism to Marxism, plus everything in between, this is the ultimate “Crash” course in economic theory.

Emma Long is a former Professor of Economics.

She is now a financial consultant for several US firms, an author, and a TV presenter.

Bulletproof Feathers Spring 2010 Over the last 30 years, biomimetics—the science that studies design solutions in nature and applies them to engineering—has come to the fore. Even though we all use practical applications of biomimetics, such as Velcro, most of us know little about its basic principles.

Bulletproof Feathers offers a beginner’s guide to the theories, history, and discoveries of biomimetics, and shows that, for all our advanced technology, we still have much to learn from the billions of years of research and development conducted by Mother Nature.

Socks’ Feline Miscellany Fall 2009 Schott’s Original Miscellany was a publishing phenomenon that sired a host of sequels and parodies. But no matter how patiently and long they waited, the feline readership was overlooked. Until now. Socks’ Feline Miscellany is how the original would have looked had its creator been an obsessive cat owner. Or, indeed, a curious cat. It parodies the randomness of entry and stylishness of Schott’s design, but is created entirely for cats, their owners, and admirers. The result is an outpouring of feline facts—essential, trivial, intriguing, extraordinary.

Named for the Clintons’ White House moggy (and every other that inherited the presidential moniker), this is the purrfect gift for cat lovers.

How to Plant a Tree Spring 2010

h ow to p l a n t a tree

A S i m p l e C e l e b rat i o n o f trees & tree-planting Ceremonies

Trees hold a special place in our hearts, as symbols of nature’s strength and longevity. To plant a tree is to plant hope, and as an act of commemoration it literally gives life to the one remembered. This book explains exactly how to plant and care for a tree, but also looks at the symbolism of trees, and details their traditional uses. The ancient rituals and folklore that surround particular trees suggest the suitability of species for commemorative plantings. This book lifts the act of simply planting a tree out of the mundane, and gives the reader a way to create a living piece of hope to cherish for generations to come.

 Daniel Butler edits Tree News, the in-house magazine for the Tree Council, and is the author of Urban Dreams, Rural Realities.

Zombie Felties How to raise 16 gruesome felt creatures from the undead

Zombie Felties Fall 2010 Did you think all felties were lovable? Zombie felties aren’t cute at all: their eyes dangle from empty sockets; their innards hang from soft bellies in unruly swags of horrible pink floss; their broken skulls uncover a slithery sequinned suggestion of exposed brain matter. Here are 16 projects for creating every possibility: a gyrating Zombie Thrilla (in tribute to the late King of Pop); a Zombie Bunny; a Classic Zombie trailing his tiny grave bandages; even a Zombie Bride clasping a rotting bouquet. Naturally you’ll recoil but zombie felties are chillingly easy for even unwilling fingers to make. Shudder as you stitch.
