Seit TASCHEN im Jahr 1996 The Great American Pin-up herausbrachte, hat diese genuin amerikanische Kunstform international stark an Reputation gewonnen. Die leicht geschürzten Mädchen, die ursprünglich als Kalendergirls und Seelentrost die Spinde von Soldaten und Arbeitern zierten, fanden damals lediglich das Interesse einiger fanatischer Sammler. Mittlerweile haben sie es in die angesehensten Museen der Welt geschafft. Bilder von Größen der Pin-up-Kunst wie Alberto Vargas, George Petty oder Gil Elvgren , die 1996 noch für 2.000 Dollar zu haben waren, kosten heute 200.000 Dollar und mehr. Allein schon aus Höflichkeit haben es sich die hübsch gemalten Mädchen auch auf ihrem Weg in die museale Anerkennung nicht nehmen lassen, bisweilen zu stolpern, um kurze Blicke auf ihre Höschen und damit ihr Kerngeschäft zu gestatten: ein wenig teasen , ein bisschen Bein zeigen und die Fantasie beflügeln - alles natürlich im halbwegs sittsamen Rahmen! Ausgehend von unserem gefeierten XXL-Kompendium The Art of Pin-up versammelt diese erschwinglichere Ausgabe die Top 10 dieser Kunstform in ausführlichen Einzelporträts. Jedes Kapitel dokumentiert den kreativen Prozess mit historischen Dokumenten - Fotos der Models, die als Vorlagen dienten, zeitgenössischen Drucken etc. -, von denen viele in der legendären Brown & Bigelow Calendar Company fotografiert wurden, die das weltweit größte Archiv an Vintage-Pin-up-Kalendern beherbergt.

The Brazilian painter Maxwell Alexandre, 32, has soared rapidly in the art world, with solo exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the MAC Lyon, the David Zwirner Gallery in London, and recently the Shed, New York, and La Casa Encencida in Madrid. Formerly a professional roller-skater from Rochina, a favela of Rio de Janeiro, Alexandre includes references to the local culture, from scenes of confrontation with the police to symbols of football or church. Popular culture, in the form of logos, brands, and iconic personalities, also populates his work. ¿It was not a political choice. It was a self-portrait. I¿m Black, I¿m painting Black people. The first four paintings I did on pardo [Pardo é Papel series] were self-portraits before I realized the meaning of pardo. I never wanted to be a banner of the identity of Black people in the favela, but it was my own identity,¿ he explains.In this book, Maxwell Alexandre presents his new series, ¿Delivery¿. In this new body of work, he moves away from the brown kraft paper that has been the signature support for his ¿Pardo é Papel¿ series, to painting directly onto doors. As the name suggests, at the center of this series are the (mostly) men and women who assure the food delivery services that have become ubiquitous worldwide. Maxwell Alexandre¿s work is in the Pinacoteca de São Paulo, the Museu de arte de São Paulo (MASP) and the Museu de Arte do Rio (MAR) collections. The artist was in residency at the Delfina Foundation (London, 2018), then later at the MAC Lyon (2019). He is represented by the gallery A Gentil Carioca (Rio).

Despite its emergence as one of the most popular and debated areas of cinema research, there is no systematic discussion of cult cinema available. Cult Cinema aims to fill this gap by being the first academic textbook devoted to the subject.

In this book, Di Gammage & Robert Dighton explore the fundamental question - what is play? Drawing on the theories most relevant to the therapeutic uses of this powerful healing medium and elucidated with vivid case studies, An Introduction to Play Therapy arrives at a working definition of person-centred play therapy. An ongoing, in-depth case study of the healing journey of a child is studied throughout the book, demystifying the therapeutic relationship and process of change that occurs. Particular attention is given to defining this approach as person-centred rather than child-centred in recognition of the therapist's own process of change and its effect upon the child. The supervision of a play therapist is included, illustrating the need for transparency, humility and enquiry in this professional endeavour. Finally, the authors look to the future of play therapy, its wider potential for improving the quality of children's lives and the areas ripe for research and development. This is an inspiring introduction to play therapy. Its clarity makes it accessible and highly relevant to all professionals and trainees concerned with the well-being of children. It also has much offer the experienced play therapist or child psychotherapist in its respectful provocation of current practice.

Negotiations for the settlement of the Cyprus Question have resumed amidst a pressing geopolitical and economic reality. Greek and Turkish Cypriots, however, have adopted distinct interpretations of the UN designated peace plan for a bi-communal and bi-zonal federation in Cyprus. These interpretations are mainly driven by their underlying security considerations. Peace Building in Cyprus shines new light on conceptual security considerations as behavioural drivers and hindrances to the acceptance of institutional provisions for ethno-federal state building in Cyprus. Adopting a rational actor approach, Pavlos Koktsidis identifies contrasting views on selected institutional provisions, and links them to each community's security perceptions through survey data and leadership assessments. This new primary data reveals the impact of security perceptions on leadership-behaviour patterns - especially the prevalence of fear, uncertainty, and mistrust. Additional attention is paid to the impact of psychological trauma and the lack of cognitive accuracy in decision-making processes. This will be an essential read for students, scholars and policy-makers studying the Cyprus conflict.

Nearly seventy years ago, Hammer Films released their very first horror movie, The Quatermass Xperiment. The now-legendary British company went on to make such classics as The Curse of Frankenstein and Dracula (and their many sequels), making international stars out of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, changing the face of horror cinema, and inspiring a generation of Hollywood filmmakers, including the likes of George Lucas, Martin Scorsese and Tim Burton. Featuring a design refresh, this new version of The Hammer Story will include 32 additional pages and continue the story of Hammer Films as they came back from the dead in 2007 and began producing new horror films for a modern audience.

Tod Papageorge started photographing intensely in New York¿s Central Park in the late 1970s and continued working there until he moved from the city in the early 1990s. More than ten years later, he edited these pictures into a book which, in its marriage of the sensual and poetic, evokes the prelapsarian Eden suggested by its title.This re-issue of Passing Through Eden duplicates the first 2007 edition in its entirety, including Papageorge¿s thoughtful essay on the evolution of his photography and its basis in his early attempts to write poetry. His essay further describes how the first half of the book follows the opening chapters of the Book of Genesis, from the Creation through the (metaphorical) generations that follow Cain, suggesting how, even in the heart of a modern city, we might find echoes of elemental Biblical tales being acted out around us by those drawn into the park and its promise of beauty and peace. This section of Passing Through Eden then leads to a run of pictures confirming that the human comedy is equally alive and well in the park, even as its landscape¿delightful and wild¿retakes center stage to end the book.

Tod Papageorge produced the photographs for Dr. Blankman¿s New York in 1966¿67, on the heels of moving into the city. Photographer friends persuaded him that he could help pay the rent by landing some magazine assignments, and that a carousel tray of slides would be the best way of convincing art directors to take a chance on him. So, often after spending a day in the streets photographing in black-and-white, he would put a roll of Kodachrome film in his camera on his walk home and make color pictures, in many cases of shop windows, a subject he was convinced might help him earn a bit of commercial work.This re-issue of Dr. Blankman¿s New York, first published by Steidl in 2017, has enlarged the size of the plates and, with one exception, condensed the original design to a series of double spreads, intensifying the sense that what Papageorge was doing in these photographs was elaborating, on a parallel track, the portrayal of Manhattan presented in the black-and-white work of ¿Down to the City,¿ the first volume of his War and Peace in New York (also published by Steidl this season). For even their saturated colors and outwardly unremarkable subjects fail to dispel the impression that, rather than winning a magazine job, the shadow of the long war in Vietnam and the hysteria it sparked were the impulses actually charging the photographer¿s eye and deepest feelings.

Blackwell Publishing is delighted to announce that this book has been Highly Commended in the 2004 BMA Medical Book Competition. Here is the judges' summary of this book: "e;This is a technical book on a technical subject but presented in a delightful way. There are many books on statistics for doctors but there are few that are excellent and this is certainly one of them. Statistics is not an easy subject to teach or write about. The authors have succeeded in producing a book that is as good as it can get. For the keen student who does not want a book for mathematicians, this is an excellent first book on medical statistics."e; Essential Medical Statistics is a classic amongst medical statisticians. An introductory textbook, it presents statistics with a clarity and logic that demystifies the subject, while providing a comprehensive coverage of advanced as well as basic methods. The second edition of Essential Medical Statistics has been comprehensively revised and updated to include modern statistical methods and modern approaches to statistical analysis, while retaining the approachable and non-mathematical style of the first edition. The book now includes full coverage of the most commonly used regression models, multiple linear regression, logistic regression, Poisson regression and Cox regression, as well as a chapter on general issues in regression modelling. In addition, new chapters introduce more advanced topics such as meta-analysis, likelihood, bootstrapping and robust standard errors, and analysis of clustered data. Aimed at students of medical statistics, medical researchers, public health practitioners and practising clinicians using statistics in their daily work, the book is designed as both a teaching and a reference text. The format of the book is clear with highlighted formulae and worked examples, so that all concepts are presented in a simple, practical and easy-to-understand way. The second edition enhances the emphasis on choice of appropriate methods with new chapters on strategies for analysis and measures of association and impact. Essential Medical Statistics is supported by a web site at www.blackwellpublishing.com/essentialmedstats.
