Pulitzer-palkitun Richard Powersin Alkumeri valittiin Yhdysvalloissa vuoden 2024 parhaiden kirjojen joukkoon, ja se oli moninkertainen palkintoehdokas sekä myyntimenestys. Aviopari Rafi ja Ina kasvattavat adoptiolapsiaan pienessä saariyhteisössä. 92-vuotias pioneerisukeltaja Evelyne kokoaa kirjaa, joka "pysäyttää ihmiskunnan edistyksen”. Kuuluisan teknologianero Toddin uraauurtavat tekoälykokeilut hätkähdyttävät kansainvälisesti. Nelikon kohtalot kietoutuvat yhteen Makatean pienellä korallisaarella Ranskan Polynesiassa. Saaren fosfaattiesiintymät auttoivat aikoinaan ruokkimaan maailmaa, mutta historian arvet näkyvät edelleen. Riittääkö mikään suojelemaan valtameriä ihmisen ahneudelta? Syvästi vaikuttava romaani kertoo merien mahdista ja kauneudesta, ihmisen jättämistä peruuttamattomista jäljistä sekä teknologian vääjäämättömältä vaikuttavasta voittokulusta.

Profiling both established masters and emerging talents, this book highlights the fearless innovation and artistry that define Mexican architecture today. These visionaries push the boundaries of convention, transforming spaces into works of art that transcend mere functionality. Through their bold experimentation and creative mastery, they shape the future of design while paying homage to Mexico s rich traditions, skilled artisans, and cultural heritage. An essential resource for design aficionados, this book opens the doors to architectural marvels that capture the essence of a vibrant and ever-evolving country an inspiring testament to Mexico s enduring influence on the world of architecture.

'Thrilling ... such wonderful storytelling' Observer'Powers' acuity and satire are as sharp as ever' Sunday Times'Smart, tender and wrenchingly anxious about the approaching era ... A bracingly intelligent fable about the choices that face us' Sunday TelegraphWhen Chicagoan Russell Stone begins teaching a Creative Nonfiction class, he meets Thassadit Amzwar, a young Algerian woman with a radiant presence. But he is disturbed by her – how can someone from a country ravaged by conflict be so happy? Puzzling the melancholic Russell, Thassa’s happiness prompts him to research her war-torn country and theories on happiness. His amateur inquiries lead him to college counselor Candace Weld, who also falls under Thassa’s spell. Dubbed ‘Miss Generosity’ by classmates, Thassa’s joy catches the eye of notorious geneticist and advocate for genomic enhancement Thomas Kurton who claims to have found the genotype for happiness. Yet, as media frenzy builds, Thassa’s optimism is tested. Richard Powers’ Generosity explores the implications of a genetic basis for happiness, asking who would control it, and how would it reshape humanity.

Craig Ellwood, the Cary Grant of architecture, was one of the most visible faces of California mid-century modernism. He was known as much for his exquisitely designed, minimalist structures as he was for his exuberant lifestyle. This book celebrates and explores the glamour of Ellwood s work, life, myth, and career. Through photographs, primarily of the iconic houses he designed in Southern California during the 1950s and 60s, we see a life of refined decadence, expressed through gorgeous architecture, fast cars, beautiful women, Hollywood style, palm trees, swimming pools, and minimalist design all in the context of the Southern California postwar building boom. This volume will appeal to design junkies, architecture buffs, students of modernism, and anyone interested in problem-solving and elegant solutions.
