Innovatively combining philosophical inquiry and aphoristic writing, this study presents a bold new interpretation of philosophical poetics. Exploring fragments, both thematically and formally, Luke Fischer situates the form as uniquely positioned between philosophy and poetry. Like poetry, fragments condense insights into few words, employ striking metaphors that draw intuitive connections, and make space for creative interpretation. Contrasting with the logical linearity of much philosophy, fragments disclose rather than prove, intimate more than argue, suggest a whole without elaborating a system, and emphasize the intuitive act of thinking. Fischer readjusts our understanding of philosophical ideas as they originate in moments of illumination, and reveals the fragment as philosophy in process. In a collection of original fragments and an exploratory essay, Fischer sheds light on the relation between poetry and philosophy, aesthetics and society, art and the environment, and discusses seminal practitioners of the fragmentary form, including Novalis, F. Schlegel, Nietzsche, and Heraclitus. Philosophical Fragments as the Poetry of Thinking makes an engaging, nonlinear case for the possibility and significance of a poetic transmutation of philosophy.

"Photographic Atlas of the Moon explains how the Earth and the Moon are locked together in a co-dependent embrace, each affecting the other in ways that affect our lives on this planet. The reader will learn in an understandable jargon-free narrative the differing geologic details of the Moon, some of which can be seen with the naked eye, allowing an appreciation of the diversity of lunar landforms. Although the author is an accomplished deep sky astrophotographer, his current passion is re-popularizing the Moon within the amateur astronomy community by explaining the origin of the Moon, the evolution of its face, and introducing its geology to Moon lovers everywhere. Robert has perfected image processing techniques that allow the amateur astronomer, using modest equipment, to exceed the quality of Earth-based professional lunar photographs taken during the Apollo era. In addition to a complete photographic guide to the surface of the Moon in 32 distinct regions, sections of this book include: The Moon We See (Phases, Libration, Eclipses), the Moon's Orbit, the Moon's Surface (creation, age, composition and appearance), the Geology of the Moon and more"--

Il magazine 'ToiletAlex PaperPrager' nasce dall'incontro tra il mondo visionario di 'Toiletpaper' e l'immaginario sconcertante di Alex Prager, artista, regista e sceneggiatrice americana. La rivista presenta un back-to-back di dodici immagini di Alex Prager e dodici di 'Toiletpaper': l'estetica accattivante, i colori forti e i cortocircuiti visivi propri di 'Toiletpaper' amplificano il mondo di Prager e viceversa. Il sottile confine tra realtà e finzione che l'artista indaga attraverso un uso peculiare di archetipi, oggetti del quotidiano, humor e allegorie, è al centro di un'esplorazione ambigua e seducente. 'ToiletAlexPaperPrager' fa seguito a 'ToiletMartin PaperParr', la speciale edizione che nel 2018 ha raccolto le immagini più iconiche dei prolifici archivi dell'artista di fama internazionale Martin Parr e del duo Cattelan-Ferrari.
