Barracuda, Mustang, GTO, Ford Fairlane -- these cars typify the American muscle car, and their names conjure up the sights and sound of 1960s and 1970s America, before the gas crisis and concern for the environment led to the development of smaller, gas-saving automobiles. American Muscle Cars is the story of these eye-catching, heart-stopping cars.

Oversized Hardcover (4 to 6 lbs)

Spectacular state-of-the-art imagery and the latest scientific knowledge highlight a breathtaking guide to nature’s most cataclysmic forces.
Encyclopedic in scope and visually stunning, this is the most comprehensive work ever published on the earth’s climate--an awesome force that, at different points in time, has wiped out 95 percent of all living creatures, plunged the world into ice ages, and played a leading role in every stage of human evolution. Climate:
• explains extreme weather-related events, from the destruction of coral reefs in Belize to eroding coastlines in the South Pacific
• presents expert predictions about what is in store for the world’s climate in the short- and long-term future
• demonstrates climate’s devastating force through 630 full-color illustrations, including digitally generated imagery, graphs, diagrams, geographical maps, and satellite photos
Explaining how our modern lifestyles shift the earth’s climate, the authors sound a warning bell: We may be witnessing the beginnings of a mass extinction, caused not by an ice age, asteroids, or volcanoes, but by what might be an even more destructive force--ourselves. And they offer steps we can take before it’s too late to avoid a global disaster.

The story of the relationship between Goya and the Duchess of Alba is shrouded in mystery and secrecy, and has captured the imaginations of authors since the middle of the 19th century. It is not only Goya's artistic crisis, which began with his traumatic illness in 1792-93 in Cadiz, and the creation of his famous "Caprichos" series, but also his affair with the Duchess of Alba that make the period in Goya's life between 1790 and 1800 so intriguing. But what do we know about this love affair, which continues to fascinate us today? Did it actually take place, or was it merely a rumor? What really happened? How is it documented? And what sort of woman was the Duchess of Alba, who, according to a romantic version of the story, nearly drove Goya out of his senses? If we rely on contemporary accounts, her life consisted largely of gossip, illicit love affairs, and all conceivable breaks with social conventions. We would know very little about this woman today had she not encountered Francisco de Goya. Susann Waldmann investigates these and other events by examining various contemporary documents, letters from Goya to his friends, and numerous anecdotes, unfolding a sensational turn of events full of suspense. A fascinating text accompanied by excellent reproductions of Goya's well known paintings and drawings.

Capri is one of the world's chicest destinations: the European pleasure island. It is a place where well-tanned Italians share the island's beauty with celebrities and emphatic island lovers: from limoncello, the native digestivo, to its eponymous Capri gants, to the Bright turquoise jewelry and bejeweled sandals made famous by its glamorous denizens. In a tribute to the isle adored by literary icons and the jet set alike, author Pamela Fiori describes, through resonant texts and vibrant images, the effortless charm of this island.

Sage Vaughn

Love this artist, Sage Vaughn! This is a book of his paintings. I own a few and bought two of these books so I’m selling one. It has some of his best prints in the book noted in the pictures! In new condition! 

The momentary beauty of Sage Vaughn's butterflies is palpable. These impossibly lovely, delicate creatures appear to have magically landed or violently crashed, oozing their colorful pigment like blood-stained marks across the canvas. The dichotomy of these delicate and ephemeral creatures co-existing over images of gritty urban life creates a contrast that is layered, mysterious, and up for interpretation. Vaughn's butterflies appear as choreographed nature-their drips echoing his early beginnings as a graffiti artist. Sometimes juxtaposed against the likes of mundane interiors, forests, or the Russian punk band Pussy Riot, Vaughn's distinctive paintings create provocative relationships between the built and natural environment. The effect is dreamlike and almost hypnotic, as swarms of butterflies concurrently live and die in graceful formations that are at once heart-breakingly beautiful and sublimely melancholy. Sage Vaughn is an LA-based painter and illustrator who is best recognized for his wildlife series. Moustachioed, eccentric, and consistent, Vaughnworks in his studio from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and has been quoted as an artist with a blue-collar work ethic. As a child, Vaughn and his father, who wasalso a painter, would spend hours on end at the LA Zoo sketching animals all day. As a teenager, growing up in the San Fernando Valley in the late 70s and early 80s, Vaughn was greatly influenced by the punk movement and graffiti art. Vaughn's current Wildlives paintings focus on the juxtaposition and coexistence of humans and animals, drawing comparisons between their inherent liberty, freedom, and survival skills. He has had widely acclaimed solo shows in New York, Geneva, and London and has been featured in a group show at MOCA in LA, curated by the Beastie Boys' Mike D.
