Warm and witty, Locusts is a book of photographs that, in the words of its creator, Sasha Gusov, ‘pulls together the concept of mass mentality – photographs that examine the way people eat, the tourist eternally behind the camera, the obsession with consumerism … an investigation of contemporary man – who we are, who we have become and how absurd we can be at times.’ The outcome of five years of work and observation around the world, these brief snatches and moments are a true representation of what humanity does when it thinks that no one is looking.

Since its inception at the end of the 1960s, loft living has generated an entire movement dedicated to the recovery of old, industrial spaces. Today, the loft is becoming more accessible to the general public, as its original definition expands to include a variety of open-plan living spaces. With this current expansion, there is a growing diversity in the way architects treat the characteristic white walls, exposed metal, glass screens, and expansive hard floors. As Lofts DesignSource illustrates, individual expression is the key. Experimentation with distribution, color, texture, materials, and finishes can result in personalized spaces and urban sanctuaries that reflect the most individual of architectural designs. With projects...

The "loft" phenomenon began in the 1970s as a solution some American artists found to the lack of living space. Today, lofts have become not only part of a culture and a life style cherished by many people in the big cities, but also a reference point for contemporary architecture and decoration. These open industrial spaces constitute a place where living, working or creating take place in an area open to the public. Through numerous international examples, this volume of 1,000 pages of illustrations and full-color photographs, showcases the most recent projects and the most ingenious solutions. Designers, architects, and owners have taken the maximum advantage of these cold spaces, transforming them into luxuriously bright open areas...

Logic is often perceived as an esoteric subject, having little to do with the rest of philosophy, and even less to do with real life. In this lively and accessible introduction, Graham Priest shows how wrong this conception is. He explores the philosophical roots of the subject, explaining how modern formal logic deals with issues ranging from the existence of God and the reality of time to paradoxes of self-reference, change, and probability. Along the way, the book explains the basic ideas of formal logic in simple, non-technical terms, as well as the philosophical pressures to which these have responded. This is a book for anyone who has ever been puzzled by a piece of reasoning. Формат: 11 см х 17,5 см.
