NOVEDADES

Richard Mishaan is renowned for his masterly integration of textiles, palettes rich in complementary shades, natural materials forged by artisans, surfaces bedecked with talismanic curios, a strategic sense of when and where to place a mirror, and a deep knowledge of both the fine and decorative arts. His many influences, including his upbringing in Colombia, coupled with his idiosyncratic perspective, explain why his sophisticated clientele return repeatedly as their lives evolve. In Richard Mishaan Design, his working methods are revealed in projects as varied as the conversion of a 400-year-old barn in the Hamptons into a warm, inviting family home and the transformation of an ultra-modern, glass-walled New York City apartment into a comfortable yet sophisticated aerie. Here too are show houses, which he uses as experimental laboratories, working out such diverse design ideas as updating legendary designer Renzo Mongiardino’s aesthetic and achieving a chic look on a tight budget. He has also designed rooms in bespoke hotels, ranging from the Rat Pack–influenced Shelborne South Beach in Miami to the Tcherassi, a renovated 250-year-old mansion in Cartagena, Colombia.

Samuel Edward Konkin III (SEK3), padre del movimiento agorista, falleció en 2004 dejando sin terminar sus proyectos más extensos y ambiciosos, a excepción del Manifiesto neolibertario. Entre ellos, el inacabado pero apasionante tratado que titula Contraeconomía, publicado en español también por Unión Editorial. Con el fin de reivindicar la valía del corpus konkiniano, y siguiendo los pasos de la edición original de Kopubco (2006), ampliamos este Manifiesto neolibertario con una serie de valiosos escritos. En primer lugar, la Teoría de clases agorista, que le debemos al teórico Wally Conger, seguidor de Konkin, quien respetuosamente recupera y amplía las notas de SEK3 –fruto de otro proyecto incompleto– en relación a la lucha de clases desde el punto de vista agorista.

Slim Aarons: Style showcases the photographs that both recorded and influenced the luminaries of the fashion world. This collectible volume features luscious early black-and-white fashion photography, as well as color portraits of the fashionable elite—like Jacqueline de Ribes, C.Z. Guest, Nan Kempner, and Marisa Berenson—and those that designed the clothes, such as Oscar de la Renta, Emilio Pucci, Mary McFadden, and Lilly Pulitzer. ​Featuring a number of never-before-seen images and detailed captions written by fashion historians, Slim Aarons: Style is a collection of the photographer’s most stylish work. Slim Aarons, at least according to the man himself, did not photograph fashion: “I didn’t do fashion. I did the people in their clothes that became the fashion.” But despite what he claimed, Aarons’s work is indelibly tied to fashion. Aarons’s incredibly influential photographs of high society and socialites being unambiguously themselves are still a source of inspiration for modern day style icons. This coffee table book is perfect for sharing, displaying, and gifting.

Nos definimos como «seres pensantes» y nos guiamos por nuestros pensamientos o creencias sin sospechar que estos, a los ojos de la neurociencia, no son más que propuestas de nuestro cerebro. A partir de estas propuestas elegimos qué estudiar, discutimos, buscamos pareja, montamos una empresa, escogemos series en Netflix, nos divorciamos, tenemos hijos, los educamos… Lo que pensamos constituye ciertamente nuestra realidad. Pero ¿qué pasaría si aprendieras cómo tu cerebro da forma a los pensamientos, cuáles son sus manías y puntos débiles? ¿Qué ocurriría si te enseñaran a relacionarte con tus pensamientos de otra manera? ¿Cómo sería tu vida si pudieras ver a tus pensamientos como meras propuestas neuronales y fueras libre de usarlos o no? En este libro, el neurocientífico David del Rosario nos recuerda que «nuestro cerebro piensa con la misma naturalidad con la que nuestro corazón bombea sangre o los pulmones, aire» y nos invita a ponernos la bata de investigadores para cuestionarnos todo lo que creíamos saber acerca del cerebro humano y nuestra relación con él. Una aventura que te permitirá, de una vez por todas, aprender a relacionarte de forma pacífica con las cosas que piensa tu cerebro.

Leanne Ford’s imperfectly perfect designs inspire more than half a million social media fans daily. In this very personal design book, she shares her decorating philosophy, wry humor, and advice to live by. The Slow Down offers readers an inside look at how Leanne found her “wow does this need work” dream house and then moved (with her family in tow) across the country to turn it into a welcoming home. Her story has a rebellious soul that is refreshingly different from other interior design books: She encourages readers to slow down in their personal environments and celebrate the beauty of everyday moments. The Slow Down’s photos and narrative present a home tour like no other, stopping to recount crazy ideas (not always crazy!) and to offer thoughts on what makes a design really good and why Elsie De Wolfe is still right (about most things). You will come away with a new perspective and new ideas on how to make your home more joyful, elevated, and funky, fun, and just right.
