Sixty years after his death, this book celebrates the life and work of the sculptor Ossip Zadkine (1888–1967), one of the most distinctive voices in twentieth-century sculpture. Though he rose to international prominence in Paris during the roaring twenties, his work transcends movements and categories.

Richly illustrated, the book explores the breadth of Zadkine’s prolific oeuvre, featuring more than 600 sculptures alongside hundreds of gouaches, drawings, lithographs, and etchings. It also places his work in dialogue with that of his wife, Valentine Prax, and a circle of his contemporaries and students.

Yang Bangsheng — a pioneer in the field of international interior design and founder of YANG & Associates Group — systematically summarizes his design philosophy and practice for three decades, from his awakening in the fields of eastern Sichuan, to his expression of Eastern aesthetics on the global stage. It is a great work that fuses Eastern wisdom with contemporary spirit. Centered on the concept of “shēng xī jìng gòu”, or “Constructing Living Realms — Live, Rest, Position, Compose,” this book unfolds a design journey blending poetry and philosophy:
Live—Seeking wisdom from landscapes, conversing with nature.
Rest—Pursuing inner balance, achieving beauty within restraint.
Position—Embracing vitality in space, revealing intangible beauty.
Compose—Crafting humanistic scenes, creating enduring resonance.

Reveals: Portraits from Five Continents showcases Wendy Newman’s intimate photographs from an expansive, soul-searching journey across global terrains. Raised in White Plains, New York and shaped early by an innate sense of style that led to a decades-long career at Harper’s Bazaar and Prada, Newman ultimately turned away from the fashion industry in pursuit of something more meaningful: an authentic understanding of people and cultures beyond the surface.

Spanning 11 years of global travel, the book compiles a remarkable body of portrait photography captured across diverse regions—from Asia and South America to Africa and the Middle East—culminating in her time in Uganda. Guided and influenced by her studies at the International Center of Photography and mentorship from renowned photographers such as Robert Caputo, Phil Borges, and Steve McCurry, Newman developed a portrait style rooted in presence and human connection.

Organized into five thematic chapters—rivers, mountains, deserts, islands, and jungles—the book uses geography as a framework to explore the shared humanity that transcends place. More than a collection of photographs, Newman’s work reflects an emotional journey, capturing fleeting yet profound encounters and silent, powerful exchanges.

China, nearly half a century after economic transformation and development, is changing not just itself, but the world around it. The BRI (Belt and Road Initiative, a global infrastructure and economic development program initiated by the Chinese government) promises investments in countries along the ancient overland trading routes between China and the West, with maritime arcs around Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent and the Arabian peninsula, down the eastern coast of Africa and through the Mediterranean. In this book are selected many distinctive, wonderful shots taken in about 21 countries participating in the BRI, covering 50 regions and a distance of over 267,000 kilometers the author visited from early 2023 to late 2025 as photographer. Through words and pictures, he takes the reader on a tour along the new Belt and Road, showing it as it is actually unfolding in the real world across Asia, Central Asia, Latin America and the Middle East and Africa. This book serves as a good observation and thinking of the reality of China today.

For centuries, we have studied the works of Cicero, Lucretius and Horace. We draw inspiration from the knightly tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Our knowledge of the world builds on the writings of classical and medieval poets, philosophers, theologians and jurists. But without the diligent monks and copyists of the Middle Ages, these texts would not have been preserved. Today’s world is unthinkable without this transmission of written knowledge.

Written Treasures introduces you to the fascinating world of medieval manuscripts. From the treasury of the Leiden University Library, 50 extraordinary manuscripts are selected: beautiful showpieces but also quickly notated works on second-rate parchment. Thirty-Eight experts highlight their content, appearance, design and their journey through generations of users and possessors to our times. With beautiful illustrations and accessible texts, this book is indispensable for history and book lovers. It is a celebration of cultural heritage and a tribute to the exceptional transmission of written knowledge through the ages.

The virus, the war, the climate, inflation, poverty and loneliness make people feel insecure. In these troubled times, there is more interest than ever for what is truly important in life: happiness, hope and love. What does science teach us today? Are we still allowed to strive towards happiness? And how do we do that? Leo Bormans asked the same question over and over again to a hundred professors all over the world: established names and young up-and-comers. Every scientist briefly summarizes their recent research after which they formulate their insights in one single sentence: the essence. To this they link at least three concrete pieces of advice: for our own lives, for our friends and for society. With contributions from the most prominent experts in positive psychology, such as: Prof. Martin Seligman (University of Pennsylvania), author of more than 20 international bestsellers and the founding father of positive psychology; Richard Easterlin (University of Southern California), one of the most respected and renowned authorities in happiness research, and Prof. Sir Richard Layard (The London School of Economics), one of the most influential voices in the global study of happiness and well-being.

From the white plastic bed for the Prisunic catalogue (1966) to the Culbuto armchair issued by Knoll, and from the Lip watch to the private apartments of the Élysée Palace, Paris, (1983), the furniture and objects conceived by Marc Held have been emblematic of the renewal of French design, following the line of Scandinavians such as Alvar Aalto and Arne Jacobsen… With his gallery L’Échoppe on the rue de Seine, Paris, and then with his agency, the designer and architect Marc Held also took part in major projects for IBM and Renault.

This book traces fifty years of design, whose success with the public at large has contributed to a great liberation in our style of life. The generosity of his vision has remained faithful to the humanist values that guided his childhood in Bagnolet, where he was born in 1932. Having settled in Greece, on the island of Skopelos, over twenty years ago, Marc Held still continues to build houses and furnish them with his creations, working closely with Greek craftsmen.
