In 1946 Ove Arup, a leading engineer of the twentieth century, founded a firm of consulting engineers that brought to fruition such iconic structures as the Sydney Opera House, the Olympic Village in Beijing, London s Millennium Bridge, the Beaubourg Centre in Paris, the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, and Kansai Airport in Japan among many others.

"Norman Foster Works 3" focuses on projects realised from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, including Stansted Airport outside London, Bilbao's subway system, and the Millennium Tower in Tokyo. This volume examines each project in depth, featuring numerous photographs, original sketches and computer-generated drawings. From airports to underground transit stations, from museums to office towers, every building designed by Foster and Partners is a study in the synthesis of a structure's individual elements: its foundation and use, the quality of its materials, and its relation to the skyline or cityscape. Students of architecture, professionals in the field, and enthusiasts of Foster's work will find much to inspire and educate them in this substantial and attractive volume.

In airports, iPods, headphones and other technological gadgets are sold in vending machines; artists from London to Buenos Aires have converted cigarette vending machines to sell art; along New York City's St. Marks Place numerous kiosks provide "fresh food" for late-night snackers via, you guessed it, vending machines. Marketers have caught on to the trend, too. In Times Square, the clothing company Uniqlo launched a new clothing line by installing human models in vending machines, so passersby could see how the clothing looked out of its packaging.     There is no doubt that the Japanese lead the way when it comes to vending machines and the items they dispense. In cities and suburbs alike, vending machines in Japan are ubiquitous, providing everything from the expected (hot tea, food, candy) to the surprising (umbrellas, toilet paper, liquor, porn). Taking a cue from the Japanese, the growing trend to sell anything and everything via vending machines has caught on across the globe.  With photographs from all over the world and essays that track the development of vending machines over time, Vending Machines: Coined Consumerism serves as an intriguing, and mystifying, visual reference-point for every consumer on the go.

The Day The Culture Died is a critical reflection on how the 1960s radically shaped 21st century America. "February 7, 1964 was a cold and cloudy day at New York's recently renamed John F. Kennedy Airport... Pan American... Flight 101 arrived from London's Heathrow Airport at 1:20pm. On board were four young British rock stars from Liverpool..." What? American culture died you say - over 50 years ago? Surely you jest! How did this happen - by accident, natural causes, suicide, murder? Did we miss it, what were the consequences and what did the Beatles have to do with it? Between early 1964 and late 1969 most aspects of American culture experienced massive and unprecedented upheaval. Seeds planted in the fertile soil of that turmoil and tragedy continue to bear fruit today. The Day The Culture Died explores how America became what she never meant to be.
