Readers will love this collection of 15 fresh, modern designs for corner to corner crochet. Corner to corner crochet - also known as C2C and 'graphgans' - is the perfect way to create colourful, graphic designs which stitch up fast, without having to learn complex colourwork techniques. Using basic crochet stitches it's possible to create stunning, contemporary designs for home decor items and accessories.

This is the first collection of contemporary 'grown up' C2C patterns: there are lots of C2C 'graphgan' patterns available but they mostly focus on characters from popular culture and are aimed at parents or grandparents making blankets for children - this is a more sophisticated collection of blankets, home decor and accessories.

Author, Jess Coppom, has brought a really fresh take to this style of crochet with a collection of 15 modern projects all made using the C2C technique. Readers can choose from patterns for six different afghans or blankets including a monochrome throw and a beautiful Mexican style blanket. Other projects include pillows, a bathroom rug and some stunning accessories such as a poncho, shawl and cowl.

The first book ever to chronicle the most famous and influential jazz label of them all, from its beginning to the present day. Blue Note is a label that stands for more than just the extraordinary music in its catalogue. The label's story has hitherto been told only through collections of art and photography, foregrounding the label as an arbiter of style that continues to have great influence. Francis Wolff's photography, coupled with Reid Miles' designs, set an unrepeatable standard which has become a classic design symbol. But of course it was not only style and elegance in design that set Blue Note apart; Miles David, Thelonius Monk, Bud Powell, Sonny Rollins and - perhaps the archetypal Blue Note group - Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers all made their most significant early recordings under the auspices of the Blue Note genius. The body of this book is a detailed history of the label from its beginnings in 1939, its development, rise, fall and rebirth. Also included is a parallel analysis of all the major records released by the label throughout its history.

By the time Jimi Hendrix died in 1970, the idea of a black man playing lead guitar in a rock band seemed exotic. Yet a mere ten years earlier, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley had stood among the most influential rock and roll performers. Why did rock and roll become “white”? Just around Midnight reveals the interplay of popular music and racial thought that was responsible for this shift within the music industry and in the minds of fans.

Rooted in rhythm-and-blues pioneered by black musicians, 1950s rock and roll was racially inclusive and attracted listeners and performers across the color line. In the 1960s, however, rock and roll gave way to rock: a new musical ideal regarded as more serious, more artistic—and the province of white musicians. Decoding the racial discourses that have distorted standard histories of rock music, Jack Hamilton underscores how ideas of “authenticity” have blinded us to rock’s inextricably interracial artistic enterprise.

According to the standard storyline, the authentic white musician was guided by an individual creative vision, whereas black musicians were deemed authentic only when they stayed true to black tradition. Serious rock became white because only white musicians could be original without being accused of betraying their race. Juxtaposing Sam Cooke and Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones, and many others, Hamilton challenges the racial categories that oversimplified the sixties revolution and provides a deeper appreciation of the twists and turns that kept the music alive.

Edgelands explores a wilderness that is much closer than you think: a debatable zone, neither the city nor the countryside, but a place in-between - so familiar it is never seen for looking. Passed through, negotiated, unnamed, ignored, the edgelands have become the great wild places on our doorsteps, places so difficult to acknowledge they barely exist. Edgelands forms a critique of what we value as 'wild', and allows our allotments, railways, motorways, wasteland and water a presence in the world, and a strange beauty all of their own.

Paul Farley and Michael Symmons Roberts - both well-known poets - have lived and worked and known these places all their lives, and in Edgelands their journeying prose fuses, in the anonymous tradition, to allow this in-between world to speak up for itself. They write about mobile masts and gravel pits, business parks and landfill sites in the same way the Romantic writers forged a way of looking at an overlooked - but now familiar - landscape of hills and lakes and rivers. England, the first country to industrialise, now offers the world's most mature post-industrial terrain, and is still in a state of flux: Edgelands takes the reader on a journey through its forgotten spaces so that we can marvel at this richly mysterious, cheek-by-jowl region in our midst.

"This publication zooms in on the part cinema has played in urban development between 1920 and 1980. Rotterdam acts as an inspiring example, as observed from an international perspective. This city has its very own history in film. Besides providing the backdrop for a variety of feature films and avant-garde classics, Cinematic Rotterdam describes how the city has established and maintained its identity through thousands of promotional and educational films and television programmes. This diverse collection of filmed material presents an audiovisual map of Rotterdams emergence as a modern city. Written by film scholar Floris Paalman, Cinematic Rotterdam is not only a thorough study of the audiovisual history of Rotterdam but is more especially a conceptual exploration of a hidden dimension of the city itself. Besides being an exhaustive reference work for policymakers, clients, producers and researchers in architecture, media and social studies, this overview makes a fascinating visual guide for anyone interested in looking at the city of Rotterdam from a different angle" -- Publicaciones Arquitectura y Arte.

15 jaar is Floortje op het einde van dit boek. Zij kan dan met recht zeggen: "Ik doe steeds dingen, omdat een ander het wil. Ik ben pillen gaan slikken door een ander, met kerels begonnen door een ander, naar een dealer gesleept door een ander. Maar toch kan ik niemand de schuld geven, want ik had toch 'nee' kunnen zeggen, ik kies er toch zelf voor om mee te doen. Want de angst, die ik dán heb, is altijd nog kleiner dan de angst om alleen te blijven als ik nee zeg. Ik zou best willen afkicken, ik ben nou 15 jaar en ik wil best kappen met dit verrotte leven. Maar ik ben als de dood, dat ze mij dan met een KZ-verklaring in een gekkenhuis gaan stoppen. Want ze kunnen toch niet anders? Heroïnehoertjes passen nergens bij en er ís toch niks voor zulke meiden als ik? Kan jij niet proberen of er wèl iets komt, want ik leef toch nog... ik ben toch nog steeds niet verloren?" Het antwoord op deze noodkreet is dit boek, dat dat niemand onbewogen zal laten.
