In a series of playful and startling prose meditations, celebrated writer Lorna Crozier brings her rapt attention to the small matter of household objects: everything from doorknobs, washing machines, rakes, and zippers to the kitchen sink. Operating as a sort of literary detective, she examines the mystery of the everyday, seeking the essence of each object. She offers tantalizing glimpses of the household's inhabitants, too, probing hearts, brains, noses, and navels. Longing, exuberance, and grief color her reflections, which at times take on the tenor of folktales or parables. Each of the short portraits in The Book of Marvels stands alone, but the connections are intricate; as in life, each object gains meaning from its juxtaposition with others. Crozier approaches her investigations with a childlike curiosity, an adult bemusement, and an unfailing sense of metaphor and mischief. With both charm and mordant wit, she animates the panoply of wonders to be found everywhere around us and inside us.

“Clever and entertaining . . . contains everything you’d want to know about the ticking away of seconds, minutes, hours, days, years, decades and centuries.” —Time.com Our relationship to time is complex and paradoxical: Time stands still. Time also flies. Tomorrow is another day. Yet there’s no time like the present. We want to do more in less time, but wish we could slow the clock. And despite all our time-saving devices—smart phones, AI, high-speed trains—Americans feel that they have less leisure time than ever. In an era when our time feels fractured and imperiled, The Book of Times encourages readers to ponder time used and time spent. How long does it take to find a new mate, digest a hamburger, or compose a symphony? How much time do we spend daydreaming, texting, and getting ready for work? The book challenges our beliefs and urges us to consider how, and why, some things get faster, some things slow down, and some things never change (the need for seven to eight hours of sleep). Packed with compelling charts, lists, and quizzes, as well as new and intriguing research, The Book of Times is an addictive, browsable, and provocative look at the idea of time from every direction. “Alderman’s greatest achievement is the continual delivery of quirky knowledge that our collective curiosities crave.” —Forbes “Fascinated by how we spend—and waste—our most precious commodity, journalist Lesley Alderman gathered the sometimes-surprising stats for her debut, The Book of Times.” —People “A fascinating foray into familiar terrain and a revealing look at how we really spend our lives.” —Mental Floss

This book documents the unique working methods and products of one of the world's best-known design companies from the late 1970s to the early 1990s.

All the Pentagram partners have contributed essays on their particular preoccupations, while special sections examine the implications of the client-designer relationship and the Pentagram company's own structure, personnel and methodology. A fascinating peak behind the scenes, this book permits a penetrative insight into how one of the world's most energetic and prominent design companies functions, in everyday reality, to produce the astounding works for which it is famous.

The Atari 2600 might not have been the first ever games console but it was certainly the first one to be successful and launched an entire industry in the process. Originally known as the Video Computer System, it went on to sell over thirty million units and still holds the record for being the longest officially supported console; the first game arrived in 1977 with the last being released in 1992, an incredible 15 years later. With such a long life, the 2600 spawned a huge catalogue of cartridges that includes many of the gaming world's greatest classics. This book takes you through the history of the much-loved platform, sampling a varied cross-section of games; featured titles include early releases, modern retro classics and even originally unreleased prototypes. Each entry features a screenshot, review and publishing information, along with the author's personal rating for the title. With ten entries for each letter of the alphabet, this is not supposed to be a list of the best or the worst games; neither is it a complete guide to all that's available. It is simply a meandering journey through some thirty years of home computing history, and will interest dedicated fans and casual readers alike. A Compendium of Atari 2600 Games is a celebration of the classic console, filled with nostalgic memories, new opinions, interesting stories and so much more
