Star Wars 365 is Knoll`s comprehensive survey of the visual world created by the six Star Wars films. It ranges from grand vistas produced in spectacular matte paintings to close-up views of instrument panels. It shows us Lucas and his crews creating their universe on location and in the studio, in pages dense with imagery and information, documenting a remarkable sustained creative effort by hundreds of devoted filmmakers and craftsmen. Many of the images in the book relating to Episodes I-III were made by Knoll himself during production. Others come from the voluminous Lucasfilm and ILM archives.
Bill Gates is not only the world`s most successful capitalist; he`s the world`s biggest philanthropist. Gates has approached philanthropy the same way he revolutionized computer software: with a fierce ambition to change the rules of the game. That`s why at last year`s annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Gates advocated a `creative capitalism`, in which big corporations should integrate doing good into their way of doing business. This controversial new idea is discussed and debated by the more than 40 contributors to this book, among them three Nobel laureates and two former cabinet secretaries. Edited by author and columnist Michael Kinsley, Creative Capitalism brings together some of the world`s best...

Olga Arbyelina, a White Russian princess living quietly with her adolescent son in a small French town, is a relative newcomer to the Russian community there. Intriguingly little is known about her when, in the summer of 1947, she is suspected of murdering a fellow emigre, only for the case to be dropped. As the story of the preceding year unfolds, a picture forms of her upbringing in Russia followed by her exile and marriage in France, and the details of a darker, hidden crime begin to emerge, encircling the narrative in an ever-tightening snare.
