The First Major Book on one of Japan's Most Radical Designers; Renowned Designer of the Honey-pop Chair.

"This ability to create something that moves us, using simple tools, is at the root of his talent; he is superbly gifted in capturing people's hearts in this way. . . . With his enthusiasm and vigor, it is impossible to predict just how far he may push himself in the future." Issey Miyake, from Tokujin Yoshioka Design

Tokujin Yoshioka (b.1967) is one of the most important young Japanese designers working today. Yoshioka's client list includes shop design for Issey Miyake; space design for Nissan, BMW, Shiseido; exhibition design for Issey Miyake, Hermès, Muji and Peugeot; and product design for Driade. His work ranges from constructing a chair solely out of honeycomb sheets of paper to transforming and re-locating a 150-year-old rice barn into his Tokyo studio. Experimenting with a sophisticated interplay of materials, shapes, freshness, and creativity, his approach continually astounds.

TOKUJIN YOSHIOKA DESIGN by Ryu Niimi, and with contributing essays by Paola Antonelli, Elisa Astori, Kozo Fujimoto, Ross Lovegrove, Ingo Maurer, Issey Miyake and Ryu Niimi, is the first book to present the designer's entire body of work. From his early projects and well-known designs for the Issey Miyake shop in Tokyo, and the iconic Honey-pop chair, to his products today for Driade, this lush monograph combines a major a survey of his career with essays by contemporary designers and critics. The book includes not only color photographs of the finished product, but sketches and snapshots of the manufacturing process, showing the processes at work behind Yoshioka's design from conception to culmination.

After graduating from Kuwasawa Design School in Tokyo, Yoshioka studied design under Shiro Kuramata and Issey Miyake. Yoshioka created the hats and other accessories worn in the Miyake's fashion shows as well as designed the boutiques' window displays. The motivation behind all of his work focuses on how the act of design is expressed and experienced. Technically excellent with a superb appreciation of light as a design material, his designs use fiber optics, stunning light installations, and reflective-transparent materials in a way that leaves the observer with the impression that the future has arrived.

In 2000 Yoshioka established his own design studio where he produced his most famous designs including the Honey-pop chair, a chair made completely out of paper. Flat-packed, until it is opened out into a 3-D form, the chair is custom molded by the weight and body shape of the user. Consistent with Yoshioka's design ethic, the interaction between human beings and materials is central. Materials grow, alter, sculpt, and even transform a chair into an intriguing living system. The Honey-pop chair is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Vitra Design Museum, Berlin, among others.

For Tokujin Yoshioka design means communicating something fascinating, surprising, joyful, and unexpected and with the release of this monograph we are now able to witness this exciting dialogue first-hand..

With hundreds of archival and contemporary photographs, it examines the glamorous early days, when train travel meant sumptuous, luxurious interiors with formal black-tie dining cars and private sleeping-suite cabins, up to the present with the sleek, streamlined design and record-breaking speeds of modern trains around the globe. Touching on every aspect of railroad design, from the interiors and exteriors of the trains, to railroad stations, signage, and trestles and tunnels, Railroad also abounds in such train ephemera as tickets, conductor uniforms, timetables, and advertisements, and is sprinkled with trivia and anecdotes illuminating railroading’s colorful history.
As both harbinger of modern engineering and nostalgic symbol of an earlier age, the railroad continues to exert a fascination over all those interested in travel, engineering, and design. Railroad is a stylish trip down memory lane, paying whimsical tribute to our earliest modern form of transportation and examining how design continues to shape and reflect transportation..

Since time immemorial mankind has taken it upon himself to wage a war against nature -- against those species of birds and mammals which he believes conflict with his livelihood. This remarkable book is about that war of attrition against the native mammals and birds of England and Wales from the Middle Ages to the present day. There is a widespread knowledge about the huge declines in popular species such as song birds, farmland birds, otters, and pine martens, however, there is less understanding about the deep-rooted causes of these losses, or about the complex relationship between mankind and these species.
Roger Lovegrove has undertaken years of unique research: by searching through parish records of 'vermin' trapped, hunted, and killed over the generations, he has revealed an unprecedently accurate and detailed picture of the history of a nation's wildlife, and of the often devastating impact and extinction that we have forced on our ecology. Consisting of species-by-species accounts, accompanied by beautiful, specially-commissioned illustrations, this book outlines the history - and often the future too - of a wealth of wildlife species, from badgers, bears and beavers, to wolves, kingfishers, the golden eagle and the humble house sparrow.
The geographical scope is British, but the subject will be of interest to conservationists around the world because of the unique historical material that will be included. The topic has enormous relevance today, as public concern about the environment rises, and controversies rage about hunting, wildlife management and reintroduction of ancient species..

Austin Lovegrove examines the thinking of judges as they sentence multiple offenders, and identifies the strategies judges have developed to help them apply sentencing law in individual cases, based on their responses when asked to "think aloud" while undertaking sentencing problems. Giving increased specificity to legal analyses of the sentencing process, Dr. Lovegrove enables the appropriateness of the judicial approach to be evaluated, and offers a basis for rule-based and numerical guidelines by making what is currently a largely intuitive process more deliberative..
