Ende der 1910er-Jahre legte der dänische Illustrator Kay Nielsen letzte Hand an seine Illustrationen zu Tausendundeine Nacht. Seine Bilder gelten heute als Meisterwerke der Jugendstilillustration: Sie bersten vor satten Blau- und Rottönen und Blattgold, und sie beschwören den ganzen Zauber dieser legendären Sammlung persischer Volksmärchen herauf, die zwischen dem 8. und 13. Jahrhundert zusammengetragen wurden. Aufgrund finanzieller Engpässe in den Nachkriegsjahren nahm der Verlag dann aber Abstand von diesem Projekt, und die atemberaubenden Bilder in Tusche und Wasserfarben zu diesem Klassiker des Weltkulturerbes blieben zunächst vierzig Jahre lang unter Verschluss. Die Illustrationen, die nur ein einziges Mal in einem längst vergriffenen Buch veröffentlicht worden waren, wurden erst kurz vor Nielsens Tod 1957 der Vergessenheit entrissen und befinden sich heute in der Grunwald Center Collection im Hammer Museum von Los Angeles sowie in zwei Privatsammlungen. Unsere Publikation ist eine einzigartige Zusammenstellung von Kunstdrucken und bestechend schönen Illustrationen, direkt von Nielsens Original-Aquarellen reproduziert - dem einzigen noch vollständig erhaltenen Satz. Das Buch enthält Beschreibungen aller Bilder und drei illustrierte Essays zur Entstehung der Serie, zum Ursprung von Nielsens einmaliger Bildwelt und zur Geschichte der Erzählungen. Zusätzlich enthält es viele unveröffentlichte oder nur selten zu sehende Illustrationen sowie komplexe Schwarz-Weiß-Zeichnungen, die Nielsen einst für die ursprüngliche Publikation vorgesehen hatte.

Could the diet of our ancestors prevent, treat, and reverse most cases of overweight, coronary heart disease (CHD), cancer, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and autoimmune disease, including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis, as well as most other chronic, degenerative diseases? And is this a diet plan that is simple, effective, and allows one to eat to their heart's content? The simple answers are yes, and yes! This book presents a vast body of published and original research that results in profound conclusions: Overweight, obesity, and most all chronic diseases can be prevented simply by the elimination of processed foods and vegetable oils from the diet. And while the science and evidence presented are immense, the tenets of the authors' advice are deceptively simple. We can prevent and reverse most chronic diseases by eliminating the major processed food components - including refined flour, sugars, and most vegetable oils. Simultaneously, excess weight drops effortlessly, and energy increases, while fatigue, brain fog, and a myriad of other mysterious symptoms generally disappear. The effects of aging are obviously delayed. Most people are shocked at their results, including the authors. And what is the single most important component of an ancestral diet? The answer is as simple as the elimination of vegetable oils - oils that are extremely high in omega-6 fats - which are highly pro-oxidative, pro-inflammatory, toxic, and nutrient deficient. Come witness for yourself... the evidence is beyond compelling... it even meets the Bradford Hill criteria of 'proof,' as the authors have clearly demonstrated.

Dieses nach Sichtung Tausender von Werbeanzeigen sorgfältig zusammengestellte Buch präsentiert die Krönung der amerikanischen Printwerbung im Zeitalter der "Big Idea". Die bunten und originellen Kampagnen malen ein faszinierendes Bild der 1950er- und 1960er-Jahre und dokumentieren, wie die Angst vor dem Kalten Krieg immer mehr dem sorgenfreien Kapitalismus der Mad-Men-Ära wich, in der hemmungslos gequalmt und gesoffen wurde. Die Bilder, die digital überarbeitet wurden, um eine optimale Reproduktionsqualität zu erzielen, sind von einer bestechenden Schärfe und Farbintensität. Sie brachten einst ihr Zielpublikum mit der Verlockung ungeahnter Möglichkeiten dazu, alles nur Erdenkliche zu kaufen - von Hüfthaltern bis Handfeuerwaffen, Autos bis Zahnpasta, Flugreisen bis Küchengeräten. Dieses mal schockierende, mal amüsante und inspirierende Panorama eines vergangenen Marketing-Milieus ist zugleich Zeitdokument und Referenzwerk für innovatives Design und witzige Werbung.

Kaum eine Künstlerin stieg so kometenhaft in der Kunstgeschichte auf wie die mexikanische Malerin Frida Kahlo (1907-1954). Ihr unverwechselbares Antlitz hielt sie in über fünfzig außergewöhnlichen Selbstporträts fest, die seit Generationen bewundert werden. Diese Werke und zahlreiche Aufnahmen namhafter Fotokünstler wie Manuel und Lola Álvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray und Martin Munkácsi machten Frida Kahlo zu einer Ikone der Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts. Nach einem Unfall in ihrer frühen Jugend entschied sich Frida, Malerin zu werden. Ihre Heirat mit Diego Rivera im Jahr 1929 katapultierte sie an die Spitze der Kunstszene, nicht nur in Mexiko, sondern auch in den Vereinigten Staaten und in Europa. Kein geringerer als André Breton lobte ihr Werk und nahm die Malerin in den internationalen Kreis der Surrealisten auf . 1939 stellte er ihre Arbeiten in Paris aus, wo Picasso, Kandinsky und Duchamp sie bewunderten. Dieser Band bietet Gelegenheit, Frida Kahlos Gemälden nahe wie nie zuvor zu kommen - in brillanten Reproduktionen und im Zusammenspiel mit berühmten Fotografien. Das Buch präsentiert Werke aus Privatsammlungen, die für die breite Öffentlichkeit schwer zugänglich sind, und zeigt Arbeiten, die bislang als verschollen galten oder seit mehr als 80 Jahren nicht mehr ausgestellt waren . Zeichnungen, Tagebuchseiten sowie eine umfangreich illustrierte Biografie mit Fotos von Frida, Diego und der Casa Azul - ihrem Zuhause - erlauben einen intimen Einblick in Frida Kahlos Leben und ihr künstlerisches Universum .
