Den eneste samlede gjennomgang av gresk og romersk arkitektur som er overlevert fra antikken. Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, vanligvis kalt Vitruv, var en romersk arkitekt og ingeniør som virket i det første århundret f.Kr. Han er særlig er kjent for sine ti bøker Om arkitektur, som her foreligger på norsk for første gang. Vitruv mente at en arkitekt måtte ha kjennskap til en rekke vitenskaper som var relevante for yrket. Han skriver også om så forskjellige ting som helningsgraden i akveduktene, hvordan skape god akustikk i et teater og å kontrollere effekten av kastevåpen, og beskriver en rekke oppfinnelser i antikkens verden. Han viser solas og stjernenes ferd rundt jorda, slik man så det den gangen. Vitruv krevde at alle hus skulle være vakre, sunne, varige og nyttige. De må lages etter naturens guddommelige proporsjoner, slik de er i menneskekroppen. Vitruvs verk ble viktig for renessansens kunstnere i Italia og inspirerte Leonardo da Vinci til å lage det kjente bildet av «Den vitruviske mannen». Om arkitektur er en grunnbok i arkitekturfaget og mye av stoffet er spesifikt faglig. Men verket er også krydret med anekdoter, og det kulturhistoriske innholdet bør fange den vanlige lesers oppmerksomhet.

Andre bind av Stormen følger Munch etter at han bryter opp fra Norge i 1902. De neste årene lever han et omflakkende og utsvevende liv på kontinentet, samtidig som hans kunstneriske anseelse vokser, ikke minst i Tyskland. Da han vender hjem etter nervesammenbruddet i 1908, hylles han som et geni, mens tyskerne kanoniserer ham som 'germansk mester' - en status som først blir problematisk når Hitler kommer til makten i 1933. Munch finner aldri sin plass i det nye århundret, han står midt i sin tid, men alltid for seg selv. I Norge er han kosmopolitten blant nasjonsbyggere, i Tyskland en aldrende avantgardist blant unge ekspresjonister. Når han trekker seg tilbake til villaen på Ekely, er det på sett og vis fordi han ikke hører hjemme andre steder enn i sin egen kunst. Der fortsetter til gjengjeld stormen å herje i kunstnerens øye til han lukker dem for siste gang en vinterdag i 1944. I andre bind av Stormen. En biografi om Edvard Munch fullfører Ivo de Figueiredo det storstilte portrettet av Norges største kunstner og hans tid.

Celebrating Dior¿s floral inspirations in fashion and perfume, this unique volume features a portfolio of rose portraits by acclaimed fashion photographer Nick Knight. For Christian Dior, perfume was ¿a door opening into a hidden world.¿ His first, Miss Dior, inspired by the lush gardens of his childhood home in Normandy, forged an inextricable link between his fashion and fragrance creations. Other scents were inspired by evenings in southern France, lit with fireflies and scented with jasmine. The rose bowers of his family home in Granville; his old mill country house; and the Château de la Colle Noire near Grasse¿where jasmine, tuberose, and May roses reign supreme and are still cultivated¿inspired Dior¿s most memorable creations. Flowers were also at the heart of Dior¿s fashion, from the women-flowers that inspired the late 1940s New Look to the swishing, blossom-like ball gowns embroidered with lavish floral motifs. They have inspired all of the designers who followed him at the House of Dior, from Yves St Laurent to John Galliano, and Raf Simons to Maria Grazia Chiuri. This extraordinary volume blooms with color and inspiration, and includes rose portraits by Nick Knight, previously unpublished archival documents, exquisite details of embroidery and fabrics, perfumes, fashion sketches, and sublime fashion photographs.
