Explore the emotional connection that a home can have to a person’s life with Feels Like Home from Lauren Liess, the TV and social media star and author of Habitat and Down to Earth A house is a feeling. That is the conceit behind designer Lauren Liess’s third book, which explores the emotional connection between the way we decorate our homes and our daily lives. She advises readers to think beyond just the objects in their homes and explore how design informs an intentional, happy, and authentic life. The book includes practical design information, with never-before-seen case studies on a variety of homes including a farmhouse, a home in the woods, a Spanish colonial, and other more traditional homes. Each case study explores a hardworking design aspect (such as proportion, scale, and color), while also focusing on the emotional aspect of the home. With chapters inspired by the themes of comfort, calm, excitement, belonging, carefree, love, and contentment, Feels Like Home provides inspiration while also serving as a beautiful object itself.

Influential designer Harris Reed explores the world of gender-defying fashion in this richly illustrated monograph. In Fluid, revolutionary fashion designer Harris Reed introduces the world to a new era in fluid fashion. At the center of Reed’s sartorial journey has always been his desire to change the way people express their identities through clothing. Fluidity’s essence is adaptable, evolutionary, and dynamic, and Reed’s work constantly disrupts the divide between men’s and women’s clothing. Reed’s pieces have been worn by Harry Styles, Adele, Sam Smith, Iman, and Beyoncé, and with each piece, he has generated an instantly iconic cultural moment, pushing conversations about gender expression into the mainstream. Fluid examines historical antecedents of fluidity, questions old power structures, and urges people to find their authentic selves in this new avenue of fashion. With stunning color photography, resplendent fashion, and illustrations of Harris’s design process, Fluid takes readers beyond the idea of clothes as mere garments, positing that clothes are a nexus of art, philosophy, and history that can be used to help shape our culture and challenge understandings of gender. With this book, Reed affirms that fluid is the future of fashion.

La rendición de la ciudad de México-Tenochtitlan ante el ejército indohispano que la asoló durante tres meses puso fin el 13 de agosto de 1519 a la primera etapa del proceso de reconocimiento, conquista, colonización e integración del actual territorio mexicano a la Monarquía hispánica. Esto fue el inicio de un imperio global que articuló el planeta a una escala inédita. Los sentidos y significados de este hecho histórico han hecho correr litros de tinta desde entonces. Si unos ven solo un choque violento y otros una heroica conquista que puso las bases del imperio español, el historiador mexicano Martín Ríos Saloma plantea en este libro divulgativo una visión libre de mitos nacionalistas y alejada de la lectura maniqueísta de que aquella fue una rivalidad personal entre solo dos actores: Moctezuma contra Hernán Cortes. La conquista de México fue un proceso complejo lleno de malentendidos y también de entendimientos culturales. Esta es la historia y la memoria compartidas no solo entre España y México, sino entre América, el Mediterráneo, Asia y África, territorios todos poseedores de complejas y originales civilizaciones que, al confrontarse, acabaron formando el mundo del cual somos herederos.

Salvo en la etapa franquista, el PSOE es el partido que más ha influido en la historia de España desde 1917 hasta la actualidad, y de modo determinante en dos periodos cruciales: la II República y la democracia actual desde su triunfal acceso al poder en 1982. Sin embargo, su ideología y su trayectoria son las grandes desconocidas para la población en general, incluida la mayoría de sus propios afiliados. Hecho lamentable por cuanto una democracia exige el acceso de los votantes al conocimiento más preciso posible sobre aquellos partidos y personajes, de una ideología u otra, que tratan de gobernar la sociedad. Y de los que suele saberse poco más que las impresiones propagandísticas. Este nuevo libro de Pío Moa expone con rigor historiográfico y agilidad periodística la apasionante evolución de un partido, cambiante como también lo ha sido, a veces traumáticamente, la historia del país en los ciento cuarenta años largos de existencia del PSOE.

An exuberant celebration of the color green—in nature, art, interiors, and design. Green is like water: it is everywhere, and we can’t live without it. Green is the color of nature and the environment. Green is life. Interior designer and style guru Carlos Mota has such a passion for green that he has now devoted an entire book to it. G: Forever Green celebrates the color in all its manifold manifestations: in nature, food, fashion, jewelry, art, interiors, and architecture. From the brilliant markings on a butterfly’s wings to the feathers of a tropical bird’s breast, from Magritte’s oversized apple to the brocade drapery in the background of a Holbein portrait, from a leafy arbor to a leafy wallpaper, from celadon to forest to emerald to acid to lime to Kelly, the variety is astounding. Illustrated with Mota’s own photographs, taken as he has traveled the world, as well as images by prominent photographers, G: Forever Green features rooms by notable designers, among them Kelly Wearstler, Alessandra Branca, Mark D. Sikes, Robert Couturier, Gert Voorjans, and Nicky Haslam. This stunning volume, superbly produced with a green metallic edge stain, is a testament to the power of green to soothe, inspire, and excite.

Organized chronologically by former Harper’s Bazaar editor in chief Glenda Bailey and designed by Elizabeth Hummer, the selections in this book showcase the breadth of creativity and artistry that has been published in the pages of the magazine for more than a century and prove that Harper’s Bazaar is more than just a fashion magazine.

Los resultados electorales sorprendentes se suceden, las transformaciones geopolíticas sacuden el orden existente, las innovaciones cambian las costumbres, las mentalidades se transforman, las luchas culturales son cada vez más frecuentes. La política se encuentra hoy con un país desconocido y tampoco nuestros expertos aciertan a desentrañar qué está ocurriendo en la sociedad. Afrontamos un proceso de transformación que no sabemos explicar, y en el que con demasiada frecuencia juzgamos en lugar de comprender.

How does a renowned stylist approach personalizing a space? In this beautiful new book, Mieke ten Have identifies and explains the four principal elements that she always takes into account: Color Theory, Pattern Play, Wild and Tame, and Flowers for Living.

Rich, atmospheric images by photographer Frank Frances document the evolution of the house, capturing the distinctive light, mood, colors, tonality, and textures of each season. Both aspirational and inspirational, Interiors: Styled by Mieke ten Have provides countless design ideas for beautifying our surroundings throughout the year.
