A good hot bath is one of the most sensual pleasures in life. More than a matter of cleanliness, it holds a mirror up to the prevailing culture - a social activity at the Roman baths, an act of purification in the Oriental hammam, contemplative in the Japanese furo and restorative in the Scandinavian sauna. Revealing the secrets of bathrooms from the hedonistic and Epicurean world of the Roman thermae to the simmering warmth of the medieval bathhouses, from the 19th-century cabinet de toilette in its disguise as a boudoir to the comfort and technological efficiency of the modern bathroom, 'The Book of the Bath' is an exceptionally well-documented and beautifully illustrated account of bathing through the ages.

This work illustrates the earliest pioneers of 20th-century design, who devoted their time to creating what is now known as "Avantgarde design". It covers over 200 original pieces from the collection of Dusseldorf art dealer and collector Torsten Brohan.

In this book, photography historians Flip Bool and Lienke Moerman extensively describe and document the life and work of the Rotterdam photographer Jan Kamman, a pioneer of New Photography. This modernist movement advocated the most objective use of photographic possibilities while eschewing the artistic interventions and pretentiousness of the 'art photography' in vogue at the time. Kamman specialized in advertising and architectural photography. Kamman's archives were destroyed by the bombardment of Rotterdam in May 1940, which is one of the reasons why his work has not received as much attention as that of his kindred spirits Gerrit Kiljan, Paul Schuitema and Piet Zwart. Exhibition: Chabot Museum, Rotterdam, the Netherlands (24.06-03.11.2014).
