First published in 1973, this is a study of the force of photographic images, which are continually inserted between experience and reality. When anything can be photographed, and photography has destroyed the boundaries and definitions of art, a viewer can approach a photograph freely, with no expectations of discovering what it means. This collection of six lucid and invigorating essays, with the most famous being "In Plato's Cave", make up a deep exploration of how the image has affected society.

In the realm of psychology, the concept of imagination has often lingered in a semi-mythological state, evading clear scientific understanding. Traditionally viewed as an elusive quality reserved for the geniuses of society, imagination has been shrouded in mystique. Yet, as M. Ribot masterfully articulates, this notion is misleading. Imagination is not a celestial gift but a fundamental function of the human mind, present to varying degrees in everyone—from commercial innovators and pragmatic leaders to the most eccentric romantic dreamers. The key distinction lies not in the existence of ...

Our social conversation has gone awry. We are surrounded by noise and are retreating to social media bubbles. As conversations across ideological divides become increasingly difficult, we as a society need to rethink what it means to listen, to think, to create, and to be democratically engaged citizens. Fifteen Paths documents the journey of a disillusioned business professor who came to realize that in order to transcend the noise, we need more imaginative expressions and fewer argumentative ones.

Plus-size fashionistas have been writing their own narrative for the past two decades, creating a market all on their own that is now worth more than $21 billion dollars. The Power of Plus features interviews with trailblazers such as Tess Holliday, Hunter McGrady, Gabi Gregg, and more, as it follows the evolution of plus-size fashion from its start on small blogs to its current boom, examines the way this market has changed women’s relationships with their bodies, and predicts how plus-size fashion is integral to the future success of the industry.

The #MeToo movement is overturning a cliché that has forgiven bad behaviour for years: to be creative is to be prone to eccentricity, madness, addiction and excess. No longer can artists be excused from the standards of conduct that apply to us all. But if we denounce the artist, then what becomes of the work that remains?

At this point in history, Kipling had already been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, becoming the first English writer to receive such an honor. His observations, published in articles for the Daily Telegraph and the New York Sun, reflect a time when nationalistic fervor was at its peak, yet the grim realities of war were starting to resonate back home. The collection opens with a poem ...

In these reflections, he captures the essence of war and the profound impact it had on him. Notably, he declined the honor of an OBE (Order of the British Empire) at the wars conclusion, emphasizing his humility and dedication. - Summary by David Wales

'Look' er en bog om tøj, tekstiler og mode. Om at læse og blive læst, og om den transformative kraft, der findes i at klæde sig på, klæde sig ud og skabe et look.

I 'Look' podes tøj og læsning på hinanden; i en række tekster, som spænder fra essayistik til lyrisk prosa, undersøger Ida Holmegaard tøj som sprog og materiale. Det er en bog om tøjets roller i litteraturen, i at skabe og omskabe køn, i politiske protester, i magtforhold, i sex, kærlighed og på det prekære arbejdsmarked.
