How to Build a Cathedral

Constructing the story of a medieval masterpiece Breathtaking in their scale and grandeur, Gothic cathedrals are astonishing feats of construction from a period before steel, machine tools, and computer simulation. How to Build a Cathedral is an illuminating portrait of the medieval architect, a visual exploration of just how these masterpieces came into being, from the initial groundplan to the topping out of the spire. Illustrated throughout with exquisitely detailed engravings, it looks at each element of the structure, explaining materials and methods along the way. Gatefold pages present the evolution of the building’s construction, and a 16-page color section highlights stained glass and decorative elements.

Malcolm Hislop is an independent

archaeological consultant with over 30 years’ experience in the investigation and interpretation of historic buildings. His publications include Medieval Masons (2000 & 2010) and John Lewyn of Durham: A Medieval Mason in Practice (2007).

How to Read Houses

How to Read Castles

How to Read a House provides the tools for an architectural exploration of the domestic buildings around us. Detailed illustrations offer the reader the visual vocabulary to recognize house types, materials, and parts; and then demonstrate these features in a range of architectural styles. The result will illuminate readers’ experiences of landmark houses as well as lay the foundations for an architectural exploration of their own homes.

How to Read Castles offers a unique approach to its subject, first building up the reader’s vocabulary of castle types, styles, and materials; and then showing how these aspects can be recognized across architectural features. Focusing on the golden age of castle-building—the period from the 10th to the 16th century—and crusading across the globe, this is both an architectural reference and a visitor guide.

The Atlas of Finance

Mapping the flows of money, from local to global Telephone banking, the internet, and the stateless processes of globalization give the impression that finance exists in a virtual world. In fact, though, financial transactions have origins and destinations, and they tend to cluster in space to various degrees—finance is fundamentally geographical. Until now there has never been an atlas devoted to mapping the financial world, but this geography-centered approach is fresh and engaging, encouraging a view of the big picture—and bringing the complex, abstract world of finance down to earth.

Gordon L. Clark is the Halford Mackinder

Professor of Geography at Oxford University. His research focuses on the hot topics of individual decision-making in the context of risk, and the design and governance of financial institutions.

Dariusz Wójcik is an economic geographer

and Lecturer at the School of Geography and the Environment, Oxford University.

He is the author of The Global Stock Market (2011) and, with Gordon L. Clark, The Geography of Finance (2007).

The Atlas of Cities

Mapping the origins, development, and impacts of urbanization Urbanization is a global phenomenon, but the way cities are developing, the experience of city life, and the prospects for the future of cities vary greatly from region to region.

Atlas of Cities presents a taxonomy of cities that looks at different aspects of their physical, economic, social, and political structure; their interactions with each other and with their hinterlands; the challenges and opportunities that they present; and their future potential. Each chapter explores a distinct type of city, with a core case study supported by secondary examples.

The Atlas of Myth

Mapping the mythologies of the world Myths explore the earliest origins of a people through their beliefs about the character of their world.

They connect civilizations with the topography and natural phenomena of their homelands, and offer intriguing traces of historic migration and conquest. What better way to explore the significance of myth, then, than through maps? The Atlas of Myth connects the map to the myth through themed graphics, an interpretative text, and engaging retellings. Chapters are organized by geography to explore spiritual connections between people and place, and to identify the “melting pot” points on the planet where myths were plotted, merged, or migrated.

Arthur Cotterell was formerly principal of

Kingston College in London. His Oxford Dictionary of World Mythology (1986) and The Pimlico Dictionary of Classical Mythologies (2000) still sell globally. His Western Power in Asia (2010) was hailed by the Japan Times as “three-dimensional historiography at its best.”

Sea Monsters

A journey around the world’s greatest monster map Olaus Magnus’s 1539 Carta Marina can be considered the major source of Renaissance sea monster iconography and lore. The map and its voluminous commentary established Olaus as the principal expert of his time on the sea serpent, the giant squid, and sea monsters in general. His marine beasts multiplied in natural histories, and his map was to inspire and influence marine zoology and cartography for centuries thereafter.

Sea Monsters introduces readers to Magnus’s fantastic sea beasts. Each creature is introduced by its historical narrative, bursting forth in startling full-bleed art before its meaning and influence are discussed.

Joseph Nigg is one of the world’s leading

experts on fantastical animals. His books have garnered multiple awards and been translated into more than 20 languages.

They include The Book of Fabulous Beasts, an anthology of the best historical writing on the subject.

The Geometry of Pattern

The math & method of constructing pattern Pattern and symmetry are key to the creation of effective graphic design, but the easy availability of patterns on the internet means that their construction is in danger of becoming a lost art.

The Geometry of Pattern addresses this, breaking down pattern into different categories and exploring the possibilities in each, based on the mathematical symmetries involved.

It also includes a chapter on fractal geometry—until recently, not available to designers. With its clear explanations and diverse examples, The Geometry of Pattern will form an essential tool in any designer’s kit.

What if Einstein Was Wrong?

50 speculations on science to stir the debate Uses a sequence of “what if?” questions to consider the changing landscape of science

Today, scientists are asking “What if light speed is overtaken?” Einstein’s theory of relativity, so long a cornerstone of contemporary scientific belief, may be a little shakier than once thought. At the time when the hunt for the Higgs Boson is threatening to undermine the foundations of what we thought we knew, What if Einstein Was Wrong? asks a team of scholars to experiment with 50 topical scientific speculations. Consider what if ... you had proof of a parallel universe, if you could be in two places at once, or if there was warp drive—and, in the process, learn a little more about the shape that science seems likely to take in the future.

Author is a naturopath and herbalist with a strong understanding of the goodness of natural food

People often ask me what the best herbs are to give to kids—my top recommendations are medicinal mushrooms. Each medicinal mushroom posssesses its own unique healing propertiess; however using a blend of mushrooms really feeds, supports, and works as an insurance system for the immune and nervous system. I am a big fan off Reishi mushroom for kids. It is a wonderful immune tonic and helps rebuild the lung energy so especcially useful when treating recovery from a chronic cough. Used over the course of a couple of months,, this super mushroom also has the potential to calm an emotionall, hig ghly-spirited type of child. In my opinion, medicinal mushrooms are future foods and are one of the most important, well-researched, and preventative medicines of to oday.

The Meatloaf Bakery Cookbook Comfort food with a twist

There’s a word for meatloaf in most languages, and almost every cuisine worth the name has its own version.

The Meatloaf Bakery Cookbook presents meatloaf in all its most delicious aspects, from the familiar classic— with a twist—to more esoteric delights such as Chili Chili Bang Bang and Holy Moly Chicken Frijole. Every recipe is accompanied by appropriate and equally irresistible side dishes, including mashes, vegetables, dips and cornbread—and presented as options for the familiar family-size loaf, cute miniature loafies, and even meatloaf “cupcakes” topped with a range of tasty and imaginative mixtures. If you never thought you’d bake meatloaf for a Valentine’s Day dinner, or serve it at a party, this is the book that will change your mind!

Cynthia Kallile opened The Meatloaf

Bakery in the heart of Chicago in 2008.

It was quickly recognized in the Michelin Guide of 2011 as one of the foremost small eateries in the city. The Meatloaf Bakery Cookbook is her first book.

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 ranging from portraits and designs to movies and models—making up a chronological catwalk that will serve as history, reference, and inspiration.

A detailed study of how eras and individual artists can be recognized by the patterns at the heart of their art, and the way in which motifs not only repeat within their composition but also in their use across the years. Progressing century by century, from Ancient Egptian lotus flower through to the flower power of the Sixties and beyond, The Chronology of Pattern discovers intriguing cultural contrasts, narrates the stories of the great pattern innovators, and creates an inspirational design resource for all its readers.

If Jane Austen were with us today, as well as being a world-class novelist, she might well have a column in an upmarket glossy.

This title imagines the advice she’d give on a range of dilemmas, from love and money to fashion and etiquette. Authored by one of her descendants, this is a fresh, witty, and unsentimental view of contemporary life.

Storybook and knitting guide combined, Noah’s Knits offers patterns for fourteen pairs of animals, every one with its own distinct personality, plus Noah and his wife, to knit, and a childfriendly retelling of the story to read aloud as you go.
