Spanning the entirety of Alphonse Mucha’s prolific career, this overview examines the Czech artist’s oeuvre―from posters, jewelry, interior decoration, theater and product design to painting, book illustration, sculpture and photography―across six themed sections that highlight the artist’s personality: “A Bohemian in Paris”; “A Picture-Maker for People”; “A Cosmopolitan”; “The Mystic”; “The Patriot”; and “The Artist-Philosopher.” Mucha rose to fame in fin-de-siècle Paris with his elegant theater posters for Sarah Bernhardt and his decorative panels featuring gracefully posed women. For these posters, Mucha created a distinctive style which became synonymous with the newly emerging decorative style of the time―Art Nouveau.

Aluminium is an extremely versatile material. Light-weight and resistant to corrosion, it is a particularly suitable material for certain building requirements. Aluminium already played an innovative role in the post-WWII years, as can be seen in the work of the French engineer, Jean Prouve. And because of its aesthetical qualities and great strength, aluminium is a highly rated material in today s sophisticated architecture. This book provides a systematic overview of the applications of aluminium as a building material, giving information on the properties of the metal and highlighting the latest technical advances. A selection of 25 international projects document the application of aluminium in load-bearing structures, facades, roofs and windows. Amongst the projects included are Toyo Ito's Aluminium House in Tokyo, Renzo Piano's Mercedes Benz Design Centre in Stuttgart, SOM's Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, and Norma Editionsn Foster s Greenwich Transport Interchange.

Amazonie, derniers rivages
Mirella Ricciardi
Arthaud, 1993
Pendant des milliers d'années, les Indiens ont vécu dans les fortes pluviales d'Amazonie: certains dans des régions si lointaines et si difficiles d'accès qu'ils n'ont eu à ce jour aucun contact avec le monde extérieur; d'autres sur des terres exploitées par les chercheurs d'or et les barons du caoutchouc, ou, trop souvent, les contacts se sont soldés par des spoliations et des meurtres. Dans le seul territoire du Brésil et depuis le début du siècle, une tribu disparaît chaque année. C'est cet univers immuable et tragiquement menace que Mirella Ricciardi a saisi dans son livre Amazonie, derniers rivages.
