Book excerpt: Superficially resembling 1960s teenage humor comics, Tim Hensley's graphic novelWally Gropius is actually an acute satire of power, celebrityhood, and modern culture that tells the story of the titular character, who bears a closer resemblance to a teenaged Richie Rich or a classmate of Archie Andrews at Riverdale High than he does the famous Bauhaus architect whose name he shares.

Book excerpt: "Wise, witty, readable, and very, very useful. A tour de force from the world's leading authority on branding." —Anthony Hopwood, Said Business School, Oxford Brands are a cultural phenomenon of our time. Yet, whether praised or derided, they have suffered from a critical debate characterized by routine thinking, glib assumptions, or mere prejudice. Wally Olins draws on a lifetime of marketing experience to explain why it is time to throw the old mission statements away, what happens when a brand goes global, when we shouldn't automatically assume that the customer comes first, and how it might be good news that branding is set to spread even further. Above all, Olins provides a positive rejoinder to the new orthodoxies of the "No Logo" critics of branding by showing how they confuse their views about brands with their views about capitalism. As he argues, brands are no longer just about corporations, products, and services. In fact, all the significant institutions in our lives—the towns, cities, regions, or countries in which we live, our sports teams and museums, our consumer groups and charities—are given strength, identity, a defining role, and a satisfying cohesion via branding, one of the most significant social—as well as business—developments of modern times. Always wise, questioning, and iconoclastic, Wally Olins takes us to the literal heart of the matter: our crucial neglect of the way in which consumer decisions about brands are as emotional as all the other important decisions in our lives. For everyone in marketing, advertising, design, and business, and for anyone who wants to understand how the world works in the early twenty-first century, this is one of those rare books that breaks the mold.

Book excerpt: An affectionate memoir about Walter Gropius, by the architect's daughter, artist and designer Ati Gropius Johansen. This portrait reveals the warm-hearted and generous man behind the serious mien of the great artist and teacher. Throughout his life, Gropius drew inspiration from music, literature, nature, and the companionship of an international cadre of artists. His passionate commitment to ideals, openness to new ideas, and quiet sense of humor made him a dynamic leader at the Bauhaus in Germany and later at Harvard University. The home he built for his family in Lincoln, Massachusetts, in 1938 welcomed colleagues, students, and international visitors. Now a National Historic Landmark, the property is owned and operated by Historic New England.
