Even today, long after the Polynesian craze faded, a new generation has taken up the tiki torch and brought island flavor and flair back to the city.Join author Renee Tadey on a sweeping journey through the tiki destinations of Detroit.

Margarita Sans-Jordi fue una escultora con gran relevancia en el ámbito de la escultura del siglo XX. Aunque fue considerada por la crítica especializada como una de las grandes de su época -si no la mejor-, no se había elaborado todavía una obra que versara únicamente sobre su trabajo y su trayectoria profesional. Este libro es la biografía personal y artística de esa gran mujer y esa excepcional artista que, con apenas 20 años, rompió los esquemas de una época en la que el papel de la mujer se circunscribía al ámbito doméstico, para alcanzar importantes premios y distinciones nacionales e internacionales y participar en los más importantes eventos artísticos de su tiempo. Ese libro recopila la única catalogación de su obra existente hoy en día y es, además, una biografía inscrita en los diferentes "tiempos" que le tocó vivir, amena e interesante, aunque heterodoxa -eso sí-, como la ha definido el escritor Eduardo Mendoza, autor del entrañable prólogo que da comienzo a este libro.
