Children's & YAJanuary 2020On the Move
by Art studio Agrafka (Authors), Art studio Agrafka (Illustrators)
The universe is always on the move: Nothing in it remains completely at rest. Movement is natural: The Earth, the water on it, the atmosphere, the continents, and all living organisms exist in a state of constant motion. We walk, run, jump, crawl, swim, and fly. We travel. This book is about movement and travel—not only by people, but also that of animals, plants, the wind, water, and our planet. It describes journeys for the purpose of trade and commerce, journeys for the purpose of pleasure and repose or for survival, as well as scientific expeditions and pilgrimages. It’s about migrations, maps, navigation, and, finally, about finding your own path. Travellers often hear questions associated with "where" and "where from:" "Where are you going?", "Where are you from?" This book is a visual and intellectual expedition through thousands of years of movement, in search of answers to these as well as many other questions related to movement. From 6 to 9 years, 2896 words Rightsholders: Ivan Fedechko, ivan.fedechko@starlev.com.ua

Fotografía documental de Antonio Turok (Documentary photography by Antonio Turok)
by Anna Susi
Antonio Turok (1955, Mexico City), emblematic photographer of a generation, has collaborated in different media such as La Jornada, Aperture, Camera Work, Cronica, DoubleTake, Paris Match, Proceso, Stern, The Independent. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship, a grant from the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego, and a grant from the Trust for U.S.-Mexico Culture. He was awarded the Mother Jones Fund for Documentary Photography. He is the author of Imágenes de Nicaragua (Casa de las Imágenes, Mexico, 1988) and Chiapas. The End of Silence/El fin del silencio (Fundación Aperture-Ediciones Era, 1998). His presence in the various Central American uprisings of the 1980s led him to forge a sharp and profound look at the human condition, the conflict and armed movements. That is why years later the EZLN trusted him to enter the Chiapas jungle with his camera. Turok belongs to a generation of Latin Americans heir to great photographers such as Álvarez Bravo or Nacho López, of whom he was a student; Turok's generation is an active one that experienced technological and media changes in photography. That is why, historically, artistically and anthropologically, the understanding of the image from Turok's point of view is transcendental.

DI Elizabeth Jewell Book 3
by Carole Pitt
When Keith Wilson, an art teacher at Grasmere Academy is murdered DI Elizabeth Jewell expects to lead the investigation. Within hours, her new boss DCI Liam Yeats takes over and excludes both her and Sergeant Patterson without giving a valid reason.

Although the evidence against him points to his guilt, DI Jewell has doubts. Keith Wilson, the victim, had boasted of a change in his fortune, implying he was about to receive a substantial amount of money. With this in mind, Jewell looks further afield for other suspects. As the mystery deepens, Jewell and Patterson look back almost three hundred years to the origins of a lost artefact.Amidst escalating dissent at Park Road HQ, Elizabeth tackles yet another problem. Where is their previous boss, DCS Daly? And is his unexpected disappearance connected to the current situation?

It was also my 71st day in Wuhan reporting as a photojournalist for the ‘Epidemic Reporting Squad’ from Nanjing’s Modern Express.During this period, I posted content on my WeChat account nearly every day. Although the posts were personal and somewhat emotional, each was witness to a historical moment. And even though the camera lens had no voice, it still allowed history to be heard. As the photos was posted on WeChat, these snapshots became significant — so much so that they left us a mark of the times.

HistoryJuly 2020Die Berliner Villa d'Este
Bürgerpalais · Tanzlokal · NS-Kunsthalle
by Claudia Molnar
A house through the ages. Like an architectural contemporary witness, the Berlin »Villa d’Este« reveals a lot about the historical developments of the three German eras »Wilhelmine Empire«, »Weimar Republic« and »National Socialism«: At the end of the 19th century – when the financially and socially aspiring bourgeoisie loved to show their position by residing in opulent buildings – the Berlin master mason and real estate speculator Wilhelm Koch had built a town palace for himself and his family. Just around the railway station »Bahnhof Zoo«, amid a large plot, the Neo-Baroque building arose. In 1919, after the death of the owner’s family, the building was sold. In the Roaring Twenties, the house became a place where intellectuals and bohemians met. At first, the chic Artists Club »Bühne und Film 1919« moved in, attracting stars and starlets who filled the house and garden. Then, in 1927, the elegant restaurant and dancing hall »Villa d’Este« opened its doors. And from that moment on the building was called »Villa d’Este«. During the »Third Reich« finally the last chapter: following a new large extension, the house became a place for National Socialist art exhibitions and cultural institutions. This book tells a story about the construction of the house, its numerous reconstructions, its history and anecdotes of its owners and dwellers, the political and social context. Last but not least, it sheds light on the so far unknown period during which a department of the »Reichspropagandaministerium« (Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda) was located there. Many, partly unpublished photos, illustrate this story. At the time of the Allied air raid in November 1943, the ensemble of buildings was almost completely destroyed. Today, the »Amerika Haus« stands on the property.
