HERE: Where the Black Designers Are
by Cheryl D. Holmes-MillerCelebrated designer, writer, activist, and educator Cheryl D. Holmes-Miller's memoir of a life in advocacy and her journey to answer the question "Where are the Black designers?"Cheryl D. Holmes-Miller is one of the design field's most respected figures. She is legendary for her decades of scholarship and activism and is known as a touchstone and conscience for the design profession. This long-awaited book documents the history of the question she has been asking for decades: “Where are the Black designers?” along with related questions that are urgent to the design profession: Where did they originate? Where have they been? Why haven't they been represented in design histories and canons? Holmes-Miller traces her development as a designer and leader, beginning with her own family and its rich multiethnic history. She narrates her experiences as a design student at Rhode Island School of Design, Maryland Institute College of Art, and Pratt, leading up to her oft-cited Pratt thesis examining barriers to success for Black designers. Holmes-Miller describes the work of her eponymous studio for noted clients that included NASA, Time Inc., and the nascent Black Entertainment Television, as well as the story of her later critiques of the industry in the design press, most notably in Print magazine. Miller also recounts the parallel history of collective efforts by fellow scholars and advocates over the past fifty years to identify and celebrate Black designers. Enhanced with a foreword by Crystal Williams, president of Rhode Island School of Design, award-winning poet, and noted advocate for equity and justice in the fields of art and education, HERE is part memoir, part investigation, and part urgent call for justice and recognition for Black designers, making it an invaluable resource for graphic design professionals, teachers, and students.
HLM50+ Towards a Social Architecture
by Tony MonkSince its sudden and dramatic formation upon winning the competition to design Paisley Civic Centre in 1963, Hutchison, Locke and Monk (HLM Architects) has consistently served and adapted to the changing requirements of Britain’s welfare state, and has instinctively dedicated its professional services to community architecture. Conceived from the perspective of founding partner Tony Monk, this book reveals the inside story of how the partnership has grown over 50 years to become a leading UK national practice. It sets out the early influences and progressive design philosophy of HLM Architects and analyses how they developed their design ethos from late-modern through contextual post-modern architectural styles by the early 1980s, and then matured into producing its own contemporary designs, explaining why these changes took place over that period. As well as reflecting the transformations in the social and political landscapes and in aesthetic approaches, it also inevitably records the changing social history of the architectural profession from labour-intensive manual presentations using drafting pens and drawing boards, through to the slick mass-produced computer modelling that accompanied the digital revolution, and the fundamental adjustments needed to meet the realities of managing an efficient modern commercial business. Working with the HLM Board, the authoritative contributors are Directors who have used their knowledge and experience in responding to government legislation with innovative architectural solutions in their specialist fields. HLM Chairman Christopher Liddle is a leading exponent of defence and custodial procurement, alongside Caroline Buckingham in education and Leslie Welch in healthcare. Their award winning projects now help formulate current policy. The critical Introduction by Dr Edward Denison re-examines the practice’s philosophy and contribution to the evolving welfare state during the second half of the twentieth century. The conclusion is a perceptive assessment of the future direction of the architectural profession and a statement of HLM’s continuing commitment to improving our society. The complex relationships described shed new light on previous architectural theories and, in doing so, this book adds to the knowledge of post-war British architecture.

HMS Gannet: Ship & Model
by William MowllHMS Gannet, beautifully restored today at Chatham Historic Dockyard, is a fine example of the small colonial schooners that were built and deployed in the second half of the nineteenth century to police Britains great empire and enforce the peace of Pax Britannica. Launched at Sheerness in 1878 with her white Mediterranean livery and elegant clipper bow, she was the epitome of the colonial gunboat.In this new book by the well-known ship modeller Will Mowll, the design and history of _Gannet_ is outlined before the author takes the reader on a detailed photographic step-by-step exposition of the building of his 1/48 scale model of the ship. A particular feature of the model is the inclusion of a static representation of the 2-cylinder compound steam engine with its three cylindrical boilers. Exquisitely detailed, with even the bunkered coal beautifully modelled, all the machinery is made visible by means of the removable deck. The author has therefore reconstructed a major feature of the ship which is no longer extant on the prototype at Chatham.All the information that a ship modeller might need is included here hull construction and the coppering of the ships bottom, the making of the ships steam propulsion systems, the decks and decking, armament, steering gear, mast and yards and rigging, and even the furniture in the wardroom. No part of the ship is left hidden. Inspiring with the sheer quality of his workmanship, the author has brought beautifully to life another of Britains great museum ships.
HMS Victory: First Rate 1765 (Seaforth Historic Ships)
by Iain Ballantyne Jonathan Eastland&“A first-rate visual guide to the most famous preserved warship on the planet. The imagery has the &‘wow&’ factor . . . a brilliant showcase.&”—Warships International Fleet Review HMS Victory is probably the best-known historic ship in the world. A symbol of the Royal Navy&’s achievements during the great age of sail, she is based in Portsmouth and seen by tens of thousands of visitors each year. In this new series written by experts and containing more than 200 specially commissioned photographs, each title will take the reader on a superbly illustrated tour of the ship, from bow to stern and deck by deck. Significant parts of the vessel for example, the capstan, steering gear, armament, brody stove, cockpit, stern cabins are given detailed coverage both in words and pictures, so that the reader has at hand the most complete visual record and explanation of the ship that exists. In addition, the importance of the ship, both in her own time and now as a museum vessel, is explained, while her design and build, her fighting career and her life prior to restoration and exhibition are all described. No other books offer such superb visual impact and detailed information as the Seaforth Historic Ship Series—a truly groundbreaking concept bringing the ships of our past vividly to life. Nominated for the 2011 Mountbatten Awards &“In a precise and careful treatment, they cover the evolution of naval architecture, maritime warfare, and British strategy that led to the construction of the 100-gun ship-of-the-line . . . A valuable book for students of the age of fighting sail.&”—New York Military Affairs Symposium
HMS Warrior: Ironclad Frigate 1860 (Seaforth Historic Ships)
by Wyn Davies Geoff Dennison&“A well-illustrated tour of the ship as she is today, deck by deck . . . includes a historical introduction looking at the ship and her significance.&”—Ships Monthly HMS Warrior, launched in 1860, was the first iron-hulled, sea-going armored ship, and for many years was the most powerful warship in the world. Rescued a century later from her role as a refueling hulk, she became the object of the most ambitious ship restoration project ever mounted and is now afloat and open to visitors at Portsmouth. As is the case for many historic ships, however, there is a surprising shortage of informative and well-illustrated guides, for reference during a visit or for research by enthusiasts, ship modelers, naval buffs, technical historians or students. This book—second in the Seaforth Historic Ship Series—redresses the gap. Written by experts and containing more than 200 specially commissioned photographs, each title in the series takes the reader on a superbly illustrated tour of the ship, deck by deck. Significant parts of the vessel for example, the steering gear, armament and armor, engine-room and gundeck are given detailed coverage so that the reader has at hand the most complete visual record and explanation of the ship that is at present available. In addition, the importance of the ship, both in her own time and now as a museum vessel, is explained, while her design and build, her service career and her life prior to restoration and exhibition are all described. The Seaforth Historic Ship Series is a truly groundbreaking concept, bringing the ships of our past vividly to life. &“A beautiful publication.&”—Ships in Scale

HUSTLER®50: 50 Years of Freedom is a visually stunning coffee table book that takes readers through the magazine&’s rich history, showcasing its most talked-about moments, groundbreaking photography, and unwavering commitment to free speech.Founded in 1974 by Larry Flynt, HUSTLER redefined American self-expression, challenging societal norms and expanding the boundaries of mainstream media. From its early days as a small newsletter to its status as a media powerhouse, the magazine has left an undeniable mark on American culture. This book captures its journey through five decades of political and social upheaval—from the rebellious 1970s to the culture wars of the &’80s and &’90s, the digital revolution of the 2000s, and today&’s shifting landscape of gender and identity. Inside, readers will revisit some of HUSTLER&’s most controversial and influential moments, including the infamous 1975 Jackie O issue and the landmark Supreme Court battle with Jerry Falwell in 1983. The book showcases unforgettable covers—like the notorious &“Meat Grinder&” cover of 1978—that sparked conversations and cemented the magazine&’s place in pop culture. Beyond the photography, it features thought-provoking pieces by writers such as Charles Bukowski and Timothy Leary, proving that HUSTLER has always been about more than just pictures. Of course, no tribute to HUSTLER would be complete without celebrating the breathtaking women who have graced its pages. This book highlights the magazine&’s most iconic photo spreads—featuring stunning photography and some of the most beautiful women of each era—capturing the evolving aesthetics of the time period and the artistry behind the images. The legacy of Larry Flynt&’s Publisher Statements is also explored, revealing how his unfiltered critiques of political hypocrisy—through the Reagan years, the Clinton scandals, and beyond—made HUSTLER a unique platform for free speech and social commentary. The book also highlights how HUSTLER adapted to the digital age, embracing the Internet to reach new audiences while staying true to its roots. With an in-depth look at features like &“Beaver Hunt,&” which celebrated everyday women and redefined beauty standards, this book is both a tribute and a time capsule. HUSTLER®50 is a must-have for fans of the magazine, media historians, and anyone interested in how one publication challenged convention, redefined adult entertainment, and left an undeniable imprint on American culture

Hablar por hablar. La vida continúa
by Macarena BerlínHistorias de superación, de lucha... Historias de madrugada. «En este libro, el tercero que se escribe sobre el programa de radio Hablar por hablar, he recogido algunas de las llamadas que he atendido en los primeros cinco años que llevo al frente del mismo. Historias que quizá no hayan ocupado las primeras páginas de los periódicos, pero que han ilustrado las madrugadas de este programa social al servicio del oyente de la radio. Llamadas que bien pudo recibir Gemma Nierga, porque en algunos aspectos poco hemos cambiado; y llamadas que hace dos décadas eran impensables. Imaginación para ponerles voz a los personajes de la vida y empatía para sentir cada una de sus palabras es lo único que se necesita para acercarse al corazón de los protagonistas de Hablar por hablar».Macarena Berlín Macarena Berlín, directora y presentadora de Hablar por hablar en la Cadena SER, ofrece a los lectores las vocesde los protagonistas de este espacio radiofónico transcritas desde el corazón, desde la pura emoción. Historias de superación, de valentía, experiencias diversas que se van hilvanando con el objetivo de encontrar la comprensión al otro lado del teléfono, las palabras de aliento, de apoyo o el simple desahogo. Una obra emotiva repleta de realidad que atraviesa el alma y revela lo mejor de uno mismo. Hablar por Hablar es el espacio de radio hecho por y para los oyentes, que se emite en la Cadena SER. Lleva casi veinticinco años en antena y se ha convertido en un clásico de las madrugadas, con la audiencia más alta de la radio, en su franja horaria. Cada noche la realidad más cercana recupera sus derechos y los oyentes llaman a nuestro teléfono para compartir sus historias, sus inquietudes... de una forma natural y distendida, planteando debates y cuestionando todos los aspectos de la vida: desde los más cotidianos hasta los más insólitos, tocando la actualidad, pasando de lo entrañable a lo increíble, de lo más divertido a lo más triste. Reseña:«Este libro insólito es, entre otras cosas, el certificado de que lo que escucharon sucedió. Pero también de que lo soñaron. Es el certificado de que soñamos lo que nos sucede, o al revés, y de que la noche es una dimensión paralela de la que solo tomamos conciencia cuando se nos aparece, como en un eclipse, en medio del día. Este libro es un grumo de oscuridad en medio de la luz, pero también un fogonazo en medio de las tinieblas. Este libro es el revés de la vida. Al leerlo, se convierte en su derecho».Juanjo Millás
Habsburg Madrid: Architecture and the Spanish Monarchy
by Jesús EscobarWith its selection as the court of the Spanish Habsburgs, Madrid became the de facto capital of a global empire, a place from which momentous decisions were made whose implications were felt in all corners of a vast domain. By the seventeenth century, however, political theory produced in the Monarquía Hispánica dealt primarily with the concept of decline. In this book, Jesús Escobar argues that the buildings of Madrid tell a different story about the final years of the Habsburg dynasty.Madrid took on a grander public face over the course of the seventeenth century, creating a "court space" for residents and visitors alike. Drawing from the representation of the city’s architecture in prints, books, and paintings, as well as re-created plans standing in for lost documents, Escobar demonstrates how, through shared forms and building materials, the architecture of Madrid embodied the monarchy and promoted its chief political ideals of justice and good government. Habsburg Madrid explores palaces, public plazas, a town hall, a courthouse, and a prison, narrating the lived experience of architecture in a city where a wide roster of protagonists, from architects and builders to royal patrons, court bureaucrats, and private citizens, helped shape a modern capital.Richly illustrated, highly original, and written by a leading scholar in the field, this volume disrupts the traditional narrative about seventeenth-century Spanish decadencia. It will be welcomed by specialists in Habsburg Spain and by historians of art, architecture, culture, economics, and politics.

Hackensack
by Allan Petretti Theresa E. Jones Barbara J. Gooding Terry E. SellaroleHackensack rose from humble beginnings as a pre-Colonial meeting place for the Achkenheshacky people, members of the Lenni-Lenape tribe. In 1614, Dutch fur traders were the first Europeans to come to the area. Ancient footpaths served the new settlers well, and some of these paths became roads that are still in use today. The most quintessentially American of these roads, Main Street, terminates at a place known as "the Green," which provided a place to rest for a weary George Washington and his troops in 1776. It is also the site of the oldest church in Bergen County. Once a lure for New Yorkers seeking recreational outlets, Hackensack attracted many new permanent residents during the mid- to late 1800s. As the hub of Bergen County, the city led the way as the area moved away from its agrarian roots to a more industrialized society. In more recent times, Hackensack has been the birthplace of one of the seven original astronauts, home to the practice ice for three gold-medal-winning Olympic figure skaters, and a favorite lyric for singers and songwriters such as Billy Joel, Jimi Hendrix, Fountains of Wayne, and Johnny Cash.
