DENTON, Mark
Constable & Robinson
2010, 224pp. Illustrated. Cloth, with dust jacket. 25x30,5cm. 1,6kg. In very good condition. Pakketzending.
"This unique photographic volume presents the greatest landscape views in England, including a host of secret treasure viewpoints. They range from the famous - Roseberry Topping, Derwentwater, Durham Cathedral across the river, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge - to the lesser known. All the views are shown in full panorama. Unlike conventional formats, panoramic photography is uniquely able to reproduce the full field-of-view, the expansive sense of vision that makes these vistas such a dizzying experience. Shot entirely with a classic panoramic camera, Mark Denton's distinctive photography is thus as close as it's possible to get to being there. The majority of the panoramic images featured are taken at the magic hours of dusk and dawn, offering richly saturated new interpretations of England's most breathtaking scenery.

By Its Cover. Modern American Book Cover Design.

DREW, Ned / STERNBERGER, Paul
Princeton Architectural Press, New York
2005, 192pp. Illustrated. Paperback. 28x22cm. In very good condition.
We all know we're not supposed to judge books by their covers, but the truth is that we do just that nearly every time we walk into a bookstore or pull a book off a tightly packed shelf. It's really not something we should be ashamed about, for it reinforces something we sincerely believe design matters. At its best, book cover design is an art that transcends the publisher's commercial imperativesto reflect both an author's ideas and contemporary cultural values in a vital, intelligent, and beautiful way.In this groundbreaking and lavishly illustrated history, authors Ned Drew and Paul Sternberger establish American book cover design as a tradition of sophisticated, visual excellence that has put shape to our literary landscape. By Its Cover traces the story of the American book cover from its inception as a means of utilitarian protection for the book to its current status as an elaborately produced form of communication art. It is, at once, the intertwined story of American graphic design and American literature, and features the work of such legendary figures as Rockwell Kent, E. McKnight Kauffer, Paul Rand, Alvin Lustig, Rudy deHarak, and Roy Kuhlman along with more recent and contemporary innovators including Push Pin Studios, Chermayeff & Geismar, Karen Goldberg, Chip Kidd, and John Gall.

Mrs. Scrooge. A Christmas Poem. Illustrated by Beth Adams. — DUFFY, Carol Ann

DUFFY, Carol Ann
Simon & Schuster
2009, 36pp. Illustrated. Hardcover, with dust jacket. 18,5x13,5cm. In very good condition.
"• A witty modernized re-telling of the classic Christmas Carol story Starting with “Scrooge doornail-dead,” Carol Ann Duffy’s elegantly witty take on the Dickens tale, like the Ghost of Christmas Past, takes the reader by the hand through the snowy streets of London and through the touching untold romance of one of literature’s most recognizable characters, Ebenezer Scrooge—through the eyes of his widow, Mrs. Scrooge. • A rare, uplifting moral tale As in A Christmas Carol, Mrs. Scrooge learns from the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come that the gifts we give to others—including the gifts of love and time spent together—are the most important and memorable. A charming moral for the holiday season, transposed to the present day and spiced with Duffy’s wry references to our struggling economy—conditions that make anyone feel scrooge-like. • Fresh original work with beautiful illustrations Mrs. Scrooge combines the melodious language and accessible, cheeky wit of one of the UK’s most popular living poets with endearing full-color drawings by beloved illustrator Beth Adams. A natural successor to the poetry book The World’s Wife that put Carol Ann Duffy on the map ten years ago, this highly giftable book is a gorgeous package for her poem with illustrations enlivening the text."

In Search of the Picturesque. The English Photographs of JWG Gutch 1856/59. — SUMMER, Ian Charles

In Search of the Picturesque. The English Photographs of JWG Gutch 1856/59.

SUMMER, Ian Charles
Redcliffe Press
2010, first edition, 192pp. Illustrated. Paperback. In very good condition.
"Bristol-born John Wheeley Gough Gutch originally trained as a surgeon before eventually becoming a photographer. A contemporary of Fox Talbot, he was experimenting with photography as early as 1841, making him one of the earliest known photographers working in the West of England. His work, influenced by the poets and painters of the period, has remained virtually undiscovered for more than 150 years. Like many educated men of the period Gutch was interested in all things scientific, literary and artistic and wrote a series of articles for Thomas Sutton's Photographic Notes. His personal albums dating from 1856-1860 are a fascinating collection of work featuring the people and places of Cornwall and Devon, Malvern in Worcestershire, Somerset, Bristol and the Lake District. Partially paralyzed and using a cumbersome wet-plate camera that doubled as a darkroom, Gutch had to traverse miles of muddy rural tracks by horse and carriage. This selection of more than 100 images from his five albums, now published for the first time, provides a remarkable historic record of the places and people working in what are now often rare or extinct industries - pilchard fishermen or tin miners, as well as portraits of family groups or working children, landscapes, villages and geological studies."

DENTON, Mark / BONINGTON, Sir Chris
Constable & Robinson, London
2007, 192pp. Illustrated. Hardcover, with dust jacket. 25x30cm. 1,5kg. In very good condition.
This is a beautifully produced collection of over 80 panoramic views of the Lake District, including many unique shots taken from little-known vantage points. Mark Denton's distinctive photography reveals some of the finest-ever wide-lens images of the Lakes, a landscape of great scenic beauty and one of the UK's most popular holiday destinations. His panoramic views, from rare angles and often taken at the magic hours of dusk and dawn, capture the atmosphere of wilderness that attracts so many visitors. Here are undulating valleys, clear lakes, tarns and rivers and, on the heights, the steep, sharp ridges and peaks, including Scafell Pike, Helvellyn and Skiddaw. The photographs offer a richly saturated new interpretation of the region's most recognizable landmarks in a highly desirable souvenir volume.

20th Century Type. Revised edition. — BLACKWELL, Lewis

20th Century Type. Revised edition.

BLACKWELL, Lewis
Laurence King
2004, 215pp. Illustrated. Paperback. 28x22cm. In very good condition.
"Twentieth-Century Type surveys the significant issues that have shaped the history and evolution of typography and graphic design, showing how current typographic trends are part of a continuously changing movement that can be plotted through the decades. Generously illustrated with over three hundred examples-more than two hundred of which are in color-the book charts significant topics including the arrival of mass-production; the birth of the art director; the appearance of the grid (and its subsequent rejection); the coming of non-print media; and the launch of the Macintosh computer and its ushering in of a new generation of designers enfranchised by digital technology. This revised edition of a fundamental work brings the story up to date with new text and images covering type on screen and, in particular, type for the internet. Combining an assessment of the culture of experimentation in contemporary typographic design alongside a clear presentation of the field's historical context, the book is an informed and accessible source for all students of design and for designers needing an expert overview of typography."

The Art of Prestige. The Formative Years at Knopf, 1915-1929. — CLEMENTS, Amy Root

The Art of Prestige. The Formative Years at Knopf, 1915-1929.

CLEMENTS, Amy Root
University of Massachusetts Press
2014, 224pp, Illustrated. Paperback. As new.
In the American book trade, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., and its inimitable logo featuring a borzoi wolfhound have come to signify the pinnacle of prestigious publishing. Launched in 1915 by a dynamic twenty-two-year-old and his refined fiancee, Blanche Wolf, the firm soon developed a reputation for excellence, quickly overcoming outsider status to forge a unique identity that has endured well past its founders' lifetimes. Capturing the little-known early history of Knopf, The Art of Prestige explores the origins of the company's rise to success during the Jazz Age, when Alfred and Blanche established themselves as literary impresarios on both sides of the Atlantic. Drawing on key archival documents from all phases of the publishing process, Amy Root Clements reconstructs the turning points and rhetorical exchanges that made Knopf's initial books noteworthy, from the acquisitions process to design, consumer marketing, and bookselling. Lasting cornerstones of the young firm include alliances with pivotal figures in the world of graphic arts and book production and with European publishers who brought numerous Nobel Prize winners to the Borzoi list during the company's first fifteen years. Other featured luminaries include the American authors Willa Cather, Dashiell Hammett, and Langston Hughes. The Art of Prestige also examines Alfred Knopf's ancestry, up-bringing, and formal education at Columbia, as well as his apprenticeships with Frank Nelson Doubleday and Mitchell Kennerley - factors that would influence his business decisions for years to come. The result is a portrait of innovative branding that seamlessly merged book production with book promotion in a literary landscape that was ripe for transformation.

Omgaan met agressie in de jeugdzorg. — Flos, Manuelle, Neve, Lonneke, Sondeijker, Frouke, Valenkamp, Marije

Omgaan met agressie in de jeugdzorg.

Flos, Manuelle, Neve, Lonneke, Sondeijker, Frouke, Valenkamp, Marije
Garant
2014, 271pp, Paperback. In zeer goede staat.
"Dit boek brengt de kennis over agressie in de jeugdzorg bij elkaar. Het eerste deel biedt een overzicht van de theorie. Alle aspecten van het ontstaan en de ontwikkeling van agressief gedrag van kinderen en jeugdigen worden behandeld. Fop Verheij, hoogleraar kinder- en jeugdpsychiatrie, geeft een overzicht. Lonneke Neve en Manuelle Flos bespreken in drie hoofdstukken de invloed van het kind zelf, de ouders en andere opvoeders en de maatschappelijke omstandigheden. De andere hoofdstukken gaan over agressie van kinderen en jeugdigen in de dagbehandeling, de residentiële jeugdzorg en de kinder- en jeugdpsychiatrie. Naast de algemene factoren zijn ook de fysieke inrichting van het gebouw en de leefruimten, de persoon van de hulpverlener en diverse andere factoren van invloed op de kans dat een kind of jeugdige agressief gedrag gaat vertonen. Marije Valenkamp, Lonneke Neve en Frouke Sondeijker behandelen deze dimensies in aparte hoofdstukken. Verder wordt uitgebreid aandacht besteed aan het veiligheidsbeleid van de professionele instelling en aan training en borging. Daarmee is dit boek van belang voor de praktijk van de dagbehandeling en de residentiële zorg voor kinderen en jeugdigen. Het boek helpt werkers in de jeugdzorg, gedragsdeskundigen en andere specialisten, managers en bestuurders om agressie beter te begrijpen, te voorkomen en te beheersen. Het is een basis voor opleidingen in het HBO, post-HBO en universitair onderwijs."
