‘A hymn to the true temples of the automobile age’ – J. G. Ballard in 'The Guardian
Housing the maximum number of cars in a well-designed space is one of the most challenging aspects of twentieth-century architecture, which has attracted a stellar array of architects.
From Louis Kahn to Rem Koolhaas, from Paul Rudolph to Zaha Hadid to Kengo Kuma, architects have used the parking garage as a scene of experimentation for innovating new ideas about materiality, form, structure and use that ultimately inform their buildings.
This is the first major international survey of parking garages ever published. Multi-levelled like a car park itself, the book presents visual essays, project spreads and case studies that feature ground-breaking historical and recent structures in photographs and drawings.
From the iconic Marina City towers in Chicago to the latest robotic technology at the Volkswagen Autotürme in Germany, the author shows how the form and function of the parking garage has been hugely influential not only on generations of architects but on popular culture, capturing the imagination of novelists, photographers and film-makers.

Barbara Lloyd takes us on a grand photo-journey through China and captures the landscape, the cityscape and the people of a country changing at an unprecedented rate. From the mouth of the Yangtze at Shanghai to one of its tiny tributary rivulets high on the Sichuan Plateau, Barbara Lloyd's poetic photographs of landscapes and cityscapes, monuments and ruins, together with a great diversity of people and costumes offer the reader a compelling and novel insight into this fascinating country.
From the estuary of the Yellow River, where the ochre waters meet the China Sea, and from thence up to the border of Inner Mongolia in Ningxia Province, via the treasures of Xian, and the ruins of the Great Wall, the captivating photographs tell a story that is truly varied. Following the photographer's footsteps, the book is divided into 5 "itineraries" including Beijing, home of the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, Shanghai, the boom city on the banks of the Huang Ho River, the Yangtze River, Dali, Shangri-la, Sichuan, Leshan, and the Yellow River. Filled with memorable images, this book is both a visual travelogue and a cultural portrait of a changing China and will inevitably encourage readers to venture further into this majestic and multifaceted country.

“A must-read...”
– The Good Book Guide
“It is good to see the teach yourself books back…they still succeed in getting down to the very basics so that a complete beginner can cope with them, but without being too simplistic…”.
- reviewer comment in Writing Magazine
The first teach yourself book was published in 1938 and the series contained just four titles Most titles published during the Second World War were aimed at helping the British nation survive (e.g. Pig-keeping, Poultry-keeping) as well as improving knowledge in the subjects that would improve the war effort (flying, air navigation, trigonometry etc.)
Over the last 65 years more than 40 million people have learned over 750 subjects, all thanks to teach yourself Now over one million people buy these fantastic self-improvement books each year, with subjects ranging from philosophy to photography and languages as diverse as Swahili and Spanish.

Over the last ten years, there has been a surge in the use of animation in various contexts, including animated entertainment, special effects for live-action media and a host of other fields, such as medical research. As animation expands beyond the confines of light entertainment, so also the growing number of animators and animation students must respond with not only the latest techniques in computer animation, but also with the vast wealth of non-digital techniques that continue to be used. The Animation Bible covers every conceivable animation process and technique, explaining and exploring their use through case studies of eminent and cutting-edge animators past and present. Illustrated with 750 colour images, the book also includes a series of applications exercises where students can put into practice the techniques they have just been reading about. In addition, students are taken through all the stages of making an animated film, from pre-production concepts and scripts to the debut screening and distribution of the finished animation.

The urge to create an individualized shopping experience is a major trend around the world and consequently a new generation of independent shops has grown up. Mostly small, they set up against the odds and have to make an effort with their exteriors, interiors and branding to attract customers. Some are a triumph of ingenuity on a low budget, while others are as glamorous as their big-name counterparts. The interiors and graphics are either created by professional designers or by the owners themselves. This trend is now so widespread that the corporate retailers who sparked the reaction in the first place are getting in on the act, commissioning one-off outlets and short-term guerrilla stores to appeal to a more savvy, funky young clientele. One-Off is the first book to address this important retail trend. It covers food, home and lifestyle, fashion and accessories, random gems and pretenders and guerrilla stores.
