Von New York lernen - Der alternative Reiseführer in die Weltstadt

New York als Vorbild einer nachhaltigen Stadtentwicklung

Kann New York das Vorbild einer nachhaltigen Stadtentwicklung sein? Von der Stadt an der amerikanischen Ostküste begeistert, geht die Architektin Susanne Lehmann-Reupert (*1964 in Köln) auf ihren Streifzügen, etwa von Dumbo über Brooklyn Bridge Park nach Red Hook und von der High Line bis zum Bryant Park, den Veränderungen im öffentlichen Raum nach. Sie entdeckt neue Erholungsflächen an Hudson und East River oder Dachgärten und Stadtfarmen und erkennt hinter den sichtbaren Qualitätsverbesserungen eine klare Strategie der Rückbesinnung auf die Tradition des bürgerschaftlichen Engagements. In dem Lese- und Bildband stellt sie die Akteure beispielhafter Projekte und Orte vor und beantwortet Fragen wie: Wer schuf den ersten Community Garden? Wie kam es zur Eagle Street Rooftop Farm? Wer treibt die rasante Einrichtung von Fahrradrouten voran? Scheinbar nebenbei stellt sie nachahmenswerte Grundsätze einer nachhaltigen Stadtentwicklung dar.

How To Be German in 50 Easy Steps!

Zweisprachiges Wendebuch Deutsch/Englisch

Eine Anleitung von Apfelsaftschorle bis Tschüss

Frühstücke ausgiebig, buche deine Urlaube bis 2017, zieh dir was Vernünftiges an und gehorche dem roten Ampelmann! Deutschland ist ein herrliches Land, und Adam Fletcher macht es jedem kinderleicht, sich hier zurechtzufinden. 
In 50 einfachen Schritten gibt er eine gründliche Anleitung, wie man ein waschechter Deutscher wird: Pflichtlektüre für alle little foreigners wie für all diejenigen Deutschen, die ihr eigenes Land immer noch nicht so ganz verstanden haben. Wir lernen, warum die Deutschen so frei über Sex sprechen, warum sie so sehr von Spiegel Online besessen sind und warum sie alle davon träumen, nackt in einem See von Apfelsaftschorle zu schwimmen. Am Ende von Adam Fletchers Liebesbrief an Deutschland heißt es nur noch: "Alles klar!"

A guide from Apfelsaftschorle to Tschüss

Breakfast lavishly, pre-book all your holidays years in advance, dress sensibly and obey the red man! How to be German presents all the little absurdities that make living in Germany such a pleasure. It’s required reading for all Ausländer and for Germans who sometimes have the feeling they don’t understand their own country. We learn why the Germans speak so freely about sex, why they are so obsessed with Spiegel Online and why they all dream of being naked in a lake of Apfelsaftschorle. At the end, the only thing left to say to Adam Fletcher’s love letter to Germany is ‚Alles klar!’

Introducing: Culture Identities

Design for Museums, Theaters and Cultural Institutions

An inside look by designers and clients at graphic design’s main playground and proving ground—working for cultural institutions.

This book takes an inside look at graphic design’s main playground and proving ground—working for cultural institutions. One would be hard pressed to find another area of graphic design in which the work is so fresh and experimental and so often serves as a precursor for future visual trends.

Introducing: Culture Identities features outstanding poster campaigns, publications, and cross-platform corporate design for international cultural institutions by both young designers, who are striving to prove themselves creatively, and established studios, who are experimenting with new forms of visual expression. In the book, readers not only hear from designers who are especially active in the cultural field, such as Bureau Mirko Borsche, the New York-based studio 2x4, James Goggin, and Johannes Erler, but also from notables on the client side including MoMA, the Barbican, Van Abbemuseum, and documenta.

With its selection of striking collaborations between innovative designers and visionary cultural institutions, Introducing: Culture Identities presents the field of visual identities for cultural clients as a continuous dialogue that pushes the limit of what is possible creatively.

You're All Just Jealous Of My Jetpack 

Tom Gauld 

A NEW COLLECTION FROM THE GUARDIAN AND NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE CARTOONIST

New York Times Magazine cartoonist Tom Gauld follows up his widely praised graphic novel Goliath with You’re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack, a collection of cartoons made for The Guardian. Over the past eight years, Gauld has produced a weekly cartoon for the Saturday Review section of Britain’s most well regarded newspaper. Only a handful of comics from this huge and hilarious body of work have ever been printed in North America – exclusively within the pages of the prestigious Believer magazine. You’re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack distils perfectly Gauld’s dark humor, impeccable timing, and distinctive style. Arrests by the fiction police and fictional towns designed by Tom Waits intermingle hilariously with piercing observations about human behavior and whimsical imaginings of the future. Again and again, Tom Gauld reaffirms his position as a first rank cartoonist, creating work infused with a deep understanding of both literary and cartoon history.

A User's Guide to Neglectful Parenting

A User's Guide to Neglectful Parenting 
by Guy Delisle 

MEDITATIONS ON FATHERHOOD FROM THE AUTHOR OFJERUSALEM: CHRONICLES FROM THE HOLY CITY

With A User’s Guide to Neglectful Parenting, the trademark dry humor that pervades Guy Delisle’s landmark and praised graphic travelogues takes center stage. Quick, light vignettes play on the worries and cares any young parent might have, and offer wry solutions to the petty frustrations of being a dad who works from home. 

Readers familiar with Delisle’s stranger-in-a-strange-land technique for storytelling (employed in Jerusalem, Pyongyang, Burma, and Shenzhen) will recognize the titular parent in this book; Delisle’s travelogues were simultaneously portraits of complex places and times, and portraits of a stay-at-home dad’s ever-changing relationship with his children while his wife is out working for Doctors Without Borders. The relationship between young child and all-too-irony-aware parent is beautifully done here, and Delisle’s loose flowing style has been set free, creating a wonderful sense of motion throughout. A User’s Guide to Neglectful Parenting is an intimate, offbeat look at the joys of parenting.

New Book: Vader's little princess

Vader's little princess

by Jeffrey Brown

In this irresistibly funny follow-up to the breakout bestseller Darth Vader™ and Son, Vader—Sith Lord and leader of the Galactic Empire—now faces the trials, joys, and mood swings of raising his daughter Leia as she grows from a sweet little girl into a rebellious teenager. Smart and funny illustrations by artist Jeffrey Brown give classic Star Wars® moments a twist by bringing these iconic family relations together under one roof. From tea parties to teaching Leia how to fly a TIE fighter, regulating the time she spends talking with friends via R2-D2’s hologram, and making sure Leia doesn’t leave the house wearing only a skirted metal bikini, Vader’s parenting skills are put hilariously to the test.

Jeffrey Brown is the author of numerous graphic novels and comics, including Cat Getting Out of a Bag, Cats are Weird, and Darth Vader™ and Son. A lifelong Star Wars fan, he lives in Chicago with his wife and six-year-old son.
