This book is the first major study of Edita Schuberts art published outside Croatia. Edita Schuberts body of work is strikingly diverse, spanning pioneering explorations of natural ecology in the 1970s to bold paintings in the spirit of the transavantgarde in the 1980s. She also created performance art on the streets of Dubrovnik and created installations that invited viewers into her world. Her later worksself-portraits of various kindsoffer profound meditations on memory, identity, and mortal- ity. Working in her studio in the Institute of Anatomy in Zagreb, she once compared her art with the practice of dissection, a precise and purposeful science which reveals the hidden territories of the human body. Often her subject was herself. The breadth of her artistic output seems to anticipate the "post-medium" condition of contemporary art. Yet when viewed together, strong lines of connection and continuity emerge, revealing a deeply intimate and single-minded vision of art.Edita Schubert (19472001) was an exceptionally prolific and inventive artist, active from the early 1970s until her untimely death at the age of 54 in 2001. A significant figure in Croatian and Yugoslav art, she exhibited at the Venice Biennale and the Biennale of Sydney and in galleries in Austria and the US, as well as frequently throughout Yugoslavia. Yet today, her art remains relatively little known.

Jadwiga Maziarska was one of the most important voices of the Polish avant-garde. Her explorations in the field of "matter painting" were groundbreaking and far ahead of similar attempts by other local artists as well as contemporaries in other countries.

This comprehensive monograph introduces the unusual artist and makes her known outside her home country.Jadwiga Maziarska (19132003) studied and lived in Krakow.

On the planet Furaha, Gert van Dijk creates a biosphere on a new world along with its solar system. Evolution on Furaha found solutions to lifes problems that remained unused on Earth. There are in-depth accounts of habitats where marshland mixotrophs use bioluminescence to catch animals, where four-sided radial cloakfishes swim in tropical waters and where tetrapters flitter through the air, using radial flight. With over 180 stunning illustrations, this is a book that all fans of science fiction, biology and science will enjoy, and that will inspire artists to think beyond the limitations of our own planet.Major works on speculative biology are rare but Furaha is a welcome addition to the genre and gives a well-considered account of life on another planet, along with stunning illustrations.

After Kurt Cobains passing in 1994, everyone expected Evan Dando to be next. The Lemonheads frontman, songwriter and actor started in the 80s hardcore scene and went on to become a 90s icon. Think of Evan Dando, and you think of heroin chic, grunge and celebrity burnout. Perhaps known as much for his partying and boyish good looks, after two gold records and the kind of fame that you just cant enjoy anymore, The Lemonheads cooled off and life went on.Dando grew up in Boston, the son of a lawyer and a model, and attended the prestigious Commonwealth School. Fame was never what motivated him but the lure of the wild life proved trickier to refuse. From sneaking into concerts as a child, to sleeping on floors in the punk rock days, to crashing at Johnny Depps place in Hollywood, he was right there in the thick of it. So much so that social media once reported his death.Now, very much alive, sober, and enjoying a life in South America when hes not on the road, Evan Dando is going to tell his own story. His memoir will remind readers what was so great about the pre-internet 90s: the innocence, the access, and the anonymity. Reclaiming the purity and exuberance of his early days and encapsulating the spirit of the era, this candid autobiography presents a portrait of an artist who lives wholly for his music, and one that makes no apologies for doing so.

A delicious, neon-soaked fever dream.Munroe BergdorfNostalgic, salacious and bitingly witty. Joe LycettI couldnt put it down. Annie Macmanus The defining book on the iconic noughties-era of pop culture in London as told by DJ Jodie Harsh, who saw, did and survived it all.Jodie Harsh arrived in London aged fifteen in 2001, heading straight off the train from Canterbury to her first club night at the Astoria. Intoxicated by this initial taste of city nightlife, she didnt leave the party for years, falling in with the right wrong people and exploring the sides of London best experienced under cover of darkness.Throughout the noughties, from Camden and Soho to Mayfair, from Notting Hill and Primrose Hill to Hackney Road, the city was a messy, beating, slick and sordid melting pot. New music, new fashion, new art, all came together in a mad, dizzying rush before - and during - the financial crash of 2008. Different scenes collided, exploded, were reborn and shaped across the city, at rapid speed.Harsh grabs us by the hand and leads us back to those decadent times: from the Astoria to The Cross, the Soho Revue Bar to Mahiki, Boombox to The End and her famous friends houses; to a time before social media and cameraphones were ubiquitous and a life without their perpetual scrutiny allowed for a more liberated, hedonistic and creative existence. You had to be there, and Jodie Harsh was. Every single night.

Uglow makes us feel the life beyond the facts.GUARDIANFew can match Uglows skill at conjuring up a scene, or illuminating a character.SUNDAY TIMESCharming . . . Like Radio 4s shipping forecast for naturalists. Andrea Wulf, FINANCIAL TIMES In 1781, Gilbert White was a country curate, living in the Hampshire village he had known all his life. Fascinated by the fauna, flora and people around him, he kept journals for many years, and, at that time, was halfway to completing his path-breaking The Natural History of Selborne. No one had written like this before, with such close observation, humour, and sympathy: his spellbinding book has remained in print ever since, treasured by generations of readers. Jenny Uglow illuminates this quirky, warm-hearted man, the father of ecology, by following a single year in his Naturalists Journal. As his diary jumps from topic to topic, she accompanies Gilbert from frost to summer drought, from the migration of birds to the sex lives of snails and the coming of harvest.Fresh, alive and original - and packed with rich colour illustrations - A Year with Gilbert White invites us to see the natural world anew, with astonishment and wonder.A feast of a book, it is beautifully illustrated and compulsively readable.LITERARY REVIEWThe author brings her subject endearingly alive . . . [an] enriching book.NATURE

The True Story of the Milltown Brothers tells the story of a good band that got very lucky and then got very unlucky. It describes their meteoric rise and much ignored demise and demonstrates the role luck plays in all our lives, however much we like to think were in control.The Milltown Brothers from Burnley were discovered by Steve Lamacq playing their fifth gig at the Bull & Gate in London in May 1988. Signed to A&M in 1990, they had a publishing deal with EMI and their debut album Slinky was awarded 5 stars in Q magazine. Oasis supported them less than a year before the release of Definitely Maybe. They shared the bill with Nirvana in Boston, the day before Nirvana released the paradigm changing Nevermind. The promoter described their performance as the event highlight. Relentlessly touring the UK, Europe, America and Japan they were on the cusp of global success"This is not just a story about a band although as a cautionary tale for young aspiring indie wannabees it should be a must read it also explores more universal human experiences: how much luck plays in our lives, the importance of being resilient in the face of disappointment and change, and the importance of loyalty and brotherhood. Added to this, the book has cannily drawn in important happenings in the music scene that we traversed the Stone Roses, Madchester, Nirvana, Grunge and Britpop." Simon Nelson, guitarist, Milltown Brothers
