A follow-up to the highly successful “Discworld Unseen University Quizbook”, “The Wyrdest Link” will present itself as qualifying tests for various levels of mastery in Ankh-Morpork City`s Guilds and other organisations - from the dignified Thieves` Guild to illicit outfits like the feared Breccia (the trolls` Mafia) or the wholly reprehensive Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night (see “Guards! Guards!”). As before, the straight Discworld general knowledge inquisition - presented with offbeat twists and linking themes - will be varied with trick questions, outrageous bogglers, and the occasional near-impossible poser to suit all levels of Discworld fans.

After the considerable success of The Xenophobe`s Guides series, which uncovers the quirks and curiosities of other nations for xenophobes (people who fear foreigners) a series of phrase books is now being launched for the `xenolinguist` - people who are afraid of speaking a foreign tongue. When visitors are traveling abroad, they have to expect to meet foreigners. Most of these foreigners will not speak English. The Xenophobe`s Phrase Books series aims to help users overcome this setback and cope with the unexpected difficulties that may arise should they need to communicate with the natives.
If less is more, then smaller is better. if architecture could be reduced to a simple equation, then this one would sum up the thesis of this book. The new houses presented here, all no larger than 100 qm (1000 sf), show that limited space and budget generate especially creative living solutions. By exploring new directions, such as sustainable, green building methods and prefabricated construction technology, these houses show that there really is an alternative to the dreary suburban homes which dominate real estate markets worldwide.
The Japanese artist Yasumasa Morimura is a controversial figure in the world of contemporary art. His photographs present an original re-elaboration of themes central to visual culture by showing the artist himself in the role of artistic subjects and historical figures. Morimura reinterprets in particular the works of famous painters, from Velazquez to Goya, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt van Rijn and Frida Kahlo. Ideas central to his photography, such as the difference between "to see" and "to be seen", and the ambiguity of gender in contemporary society - stressed by the artist`s preference for the female body, - stimulate thought on political and religious issues. Popular culture is another of Morimura`s interests, as shown in his...
Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama has pursued her principal themes of infinity, self-image, sexuality and compulsive repetition since she took the New York art world by storm in the late 1950s with her Infinity Nets – heroically-scaled paintings covered in endlessly repeating net-like patterns, which won the admiration of artists ranging from Barnett Newman to Donald Judd. In Kusama’s installations and sculptures she compulsively covers every surface, either in polka dots (Infinity Mirror Room, 1965); mirrors (Endless Love Show, 1966); or phallus-like protrusions (Violet Obsession, 1994, a vivid purple boat lined with stuffed forms). This is the first monograph on the forty-year career of this distinguished, highly innovative artist, who...

Now it has occurred, obliterating most human life. Two women have survived: Ren, a young trapeze dancer locked inside the high-end sex club Scales and Tails, and Toby, a God`s Gardener barricaded inside a luxurious spa where many of the...
