Testi di Luciano Benetton, Peter Noever, Markus Mittringer.Testo Italiano, Inglese e Tedesco.Treviso, 2014; cartonato, pp. 384, 654 ill. b/n col., cm 21x20.(Imago Mundi. Luciano Benetton Collection). Archistar internazionali, celebri designer, artisti affermati in tutto il mondo ma anche giovani emergenti che vivono e lavorano a Vienna o che a questa città, cuore dell'Europa oggi come nei secoli passati, hanno lasciato un loro contributo. Sono i protagonisti di questa nuova collezione di Imago Mundi che rende omaggio alla centralità culturale di Vienna, spazio espositivo d'eccezione, in nome di una simultaneità creativa dell'arte, dell'architettura, del design. Le 161 opere qui raccolte ci comunicano, ciascuno a suo modo, che al di là dell'ossessione economicistica dei nostri giorni resiste una geografia culturale che può renderci più felici, perché la vivacità delle idee rende le vite, singole e collettive, più ricche, feconde e degne di essere vissute.

A team of internationally renowned architects examines Havana as a model that epitomizes the problems facing major cities in the 20th and 21st sprawling slums and the dire need for housing, the conservation, and restoration of a unique architectural heritage, and the protection of this city from the dangers of an exploding tourist industry.

Focusing on pieces from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, this volume draws on the world's largest collection of J. & L. Lobmeyr glass, which resides in the MAK. Situated at the interface of art and industry, the MAK - Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art has, from the time of its foundation, been a partner to J. & L. Lobmeyr. As an international glass manufacturer, the company has always sought dialogue with artists to produce glass to the highest technical and artistic standards. This catalogue of holdings is an illustrative and scientific survey of the MAK's representative collection of Lobmeyr glassware of the 20th and 21st centuries with detailed information, photos and comparative examples. The volume documents the company's strategies and stages up until today, offering a comprehensive and up-to-date reference for glass lovers and experts.

Times are changing and so are families. Today’s modern family is facing challenges that rarely, if ever, crossed our minds just a few years ago. Most families today are long on commitment and short on time. They are being pulled in many directions that make it difficult, if not impossible, to connect relationally. Smart phones, mobile technology, work-life balance, relentless hurry and stress seem to be woven into the fabric of their lives. In this much-needed new book, Craig Jutila gives sound and practical advice—drawn from biblical principles, personal family experience, and expertise as a Children’s Ministry leader—on how to raise a strong and healthy family in a modern world, and move from a family that simply survives to a family that really thrives.
