From Chuck Berry to Cure, the Rolling Stones and Interpol, this book is an impassioned parade of rock stars, selected, feted, consumed and, finally, drawn by Fausto Gilberti. Not an exhaustive catalogue but a personal view through pictures of the world of rock: from a childhood at full blast to secret detection of future celebrities, his enthusiasm for the stars of rock is a tribute to the emotions this music naturally unleashes.

Materials inspire and arouse emotions, they surround us everywhere, we possess them and feel them. Similarly to people, our formative first impression of them is provided by the visual perception they create. Containing around 250 full colour illustrations, the Architecture Compact series presents materials that on the one hand convey a unique impression through their inherent physical characteristics, and on the other hand achieve surprising results when used in association or combination with each other.

Summary:
Territory of fiction or scene of a reality, 'Origen' is presented as a photographic project which hopes to show a personal experience lived in absolute methodological and creative freedom. Origen aims to raise the curiosity of the spectator, to create a personal imaginary where emotions and lived feelings are portrayed in the work of the three authors. It wants to erode the modern and contemporary layer which protects us from our most primitive, natural and animal instincts.

Summary:
Traversing a varied and enchanting landscape with forays into the fields of geography, art, architecture, design, cartography and film, Giuliana Bruno's ''Atlas of Emotion'', winner of the 2004 Kraszna-Krausz award for ''the world's best book on the moving image,'' is a highly original endeavor to map a cultural history of spatio-visual arts. In an evocative montage of words and pictures she emphasizes that ''sight" and "site" but also ''motion" and "emotion'' are irrevocably connected. In so doing, she touches on the art of Gerhard Richter and Annette Messagem: the film-making of Peter Greenaway and Michaelangelo Antonioni; the origins of the movie palace and its precursors, and on her own journeys to her native Naples. Visually luscious and daring in conception, Bruno opens new vistas and understandings at every turn.

The interiors and exteriors of all his buildings are richly portrayed on full-page spreads and accompanied with plans, diagrams and introductory texts.

Summary:
Lorraine Daston asks why we continually seek moral orders in natural orders, despite so much good counsel to the contrary. She outlines three specific forms of natural order in the Western philosophical tradition — specific natures, local natures, and universal natural laws — and describes how each of these three natural orders has been used to define and oppose a distinctive form of the unnatural. She argues that each of these forms of the unnatural triggers equally distinctive emotions: horror, terror, and wonder.
