Alastair Reynolds Zima Blue
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 11.87 € (+2.70 €)A fabulous collection spanning the galaxies and career of SF superstar Alastair Reynolds\n\nReynolds' pursuit of truth is not limited to wide-angle star smashing - not that stars don't get pulverised when one character is gifted (or cursed) with an awful weapon by the legendary Merlin. Reynolds' protagonists find themselves in situations of betrayal, whether by a loved one's accidental death, as in 'Signal to Noise', or by a trusted wartime authority, in 'Spirey and the Queen'. His fertile imagination can resurrect Elton John on Mars in 'Understanding Space and Time' or make prophets of the human condition out of pool-cleaning robots in the title story.\n\nBut overall, the stories in ZIMA BLUE represent a more optimistic take on humanity's future, a view that says there may be wars, there may be catastrophes and cosmic errors, but something human will still survive.

Alastair Reynolds Chasm City
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 13.05 € (+2.70 €)Come to Chasm City and embark on a mind-bending ride through the universe of Revelation Space\n\nTanner Mirabel was a security specialist who never made a mistake - until the day a woman in his care was blown away by Argent Reivich, a vengeful young postmortal. Tanner's pursuit of Reivich takes him across light-years of space to Chasm City, the domed human settlement on the otherwise inhospitable planet of Yellowstone.\n\nBut Chasm City is not what it was. The one time high-tech utopia has become a Gothic nightmare: a nanotechnological virus has corrupted the city's inhabitants as thoroughly as it has the buildings and machines. Before the chase is done, Tanner will have to confront truths which reach back centuries, towards deep space and an atrocity history barely remembers.

Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 13.05 € (+2.70 €)A spectacular, large-scale space opera - the ultimate galaxy-spanning adventure\n\nSix million years ago, at the very dawn of the starfaring era, Abigail Gentian fractured herself into a thousand male and female clones: the shatterlings.

They meet every two hundred thousand years, to exchange news and memories of their travels with their siblings.\n\nCampion and Purslane are not only late for their thirty-second reunion, but they have brought along an amnesiac golden robot for a guest. But the wayward shatterlings get more than the scolding they expect: they face the discovery that someone has a very serious grudge against the Gentian line, and there is a very real possibility of traitors in their midst. The surviving shatterlings have to dodge exotic weapons while they regroup to try to solve the mystery of who is persecuting them, and why - before their ancient line is wiped out of existence, forever.

Alastair Sooke Pop art. Una storia a colori
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 20.90 € (+2.70 €)Con tutta probabilità, la Pop Art è stato il movimento artistico piú rivoluzionario dal dopoguerra a oggi. Spostando l'attenzione dalla straordinarietà al quotidiano, la Pop Art ha demolito l'ideale di ogni forma di Modernismo, che trovava nell'interiorità tormentata la sua unica fonte d'ispirazione, rendendo cosí l'arte piú immediata, divertente, contemporanea e vicina alle masse: un'arte che ebbe come modelli lattine di Coca-Cola, star del cinema e fumetti. A partire dalle testimonianze dirette di alcuni grandi protagonisti, Alastair Sooke si sofferma non soltanto sulle celeberrime opere di Warhol, Lichtenstein e dei loro contemporanei, ma anche su quelle di autori che, se furono cruciali per il movimento, oggi sono per lo piú dimenticati: tra questi, Marisol Escobar, ai suoi tempi quasi più celebre di Warhol, e la ex wrestler professionista Rosalyn Drexler. Nella sorprendente prospettiva del critico inglese, la Pop Art non riguardò solo New York, ma anche Londra, la West Coast americana e l'Europa, e continua soprattutto a fecondare la produzione di alcuni dei piú importanti e discussi artisti di oggi.

Alastair Bonnett Oltre le mappe
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 19.00 € (+2.70 €)Nell'era dei GPS sempre attivi, resistono ancora luoghi lontani dalle mappe. Utopie, a volte sogni, a volte incubi: allucinazioni collettive, che però esistono davvero. Li ha messi tutti assieme il geografo Alastair Bonnett, che in questo libro racconta la storia dei luoghi più insoliti del pianeta. Posti in cui difficilmente andremo in vacanza, eppure incredibilmente affascinanti. Ci sono le gelide isole della Scozia e lo sterminato arcipelago delle Filippine, le enclave ladine nelle Dolomiti, le distopie genocide del Medio Oriente e ambienti decisamente più rilassanti come la \"zona autonoma\" di Christiania. E poi le tribù nomadi e la loro vita in eterno movimento, una città di rifiuti al Cairo, i misteri della metropolitana di Tokyo. Partendo dagli angoli più strani, affascinanti o terribili della Terra, Bonnett affronta i temi cardini del nostro tempo: il riscaldamento globale, le migrazioni, le violenze etniche, l'evoluzione tecnologica con i suoi benefici e i suoi danni. \"Oltre le mappe\" è un'ode a un mondo sempre connesso, ma allo stesso tempo frammentato. Dove, nonostante tutto, il mistero e l'ignoto vincono ancora.

Alastair Reynolds Pushing Ice
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 13.05 € (+2.70 €)First contact with extraordinary aliens, glittering technologies that could destroy the universe in a nanosecond, huge sweeping space operas: Alastair Reynolds is back!\n\nSome centuries from now, the exploration and exploitation of the Solar System is in full swing. On the cold edge of the system, Bella Lind, captain of the huge commercial spacecraft Rockhopper IV, helps fuel this new gold rush by attaching mass-driver motors to organic-rich water-ice comets to move them back to the inner worlds. Her crew are tough, blue-collar miners, engineers and demolition experts.\n\nAround Saturn, something inexplicable happens: one of the moons leaves its orbit and accelerates out of the Solar System. The icy mantle peels away to reveal that it was never a moon in the first place, just a parked spacecraft, millions of years old, that has now decided to move on.\n\nRockhopper IV, trapped in the pull, is hurled across time and space into the deep, distant future, arriving in a vast, alien-constructed chamber. And the crew are not alone, for each chamber contains an alien culture dragged into this cosmic menagerie at the end of time.\n\nThe crew of the Rockhopper IV know a lot about blowing up comets, but not much about first contact with ultra-advanced aliens. They have two things to worry about: can they (and their new alien allies) negotiate their way through each harrying contact? And can they assimilate the avalanche of knowledge about their own future - including all the glittering, dangerous technologies that are now theirs for the taking - without destroying themselves in the process?

Alastair Gordon;Julia Lucero;Jorella Andrews Alastair Gordon – Quodlibet
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 35.62 €Alastair Gordon (b.1978, Edinburgh), is an artist based in London. This, the first major monograph of the artist’s career, includes over 160 paintings, drawings and documentational photographs, along with notes by Gordon himself. The book introduces this accomplished and engaging new voice in British painting.\n\nGordon’s paintings bring the historic languages of genre painting and the quodlibet into a contemporary discourse that pushes the boundaries of realism, figuration and illusionism to focus on everyday moments. His work often elevates seemingly ordinary objects – feathers, matchsticks, postcards – allowing them to speak to wider concerns of beauty, truth, life and death.\n\nThe documented works, produced between 2012 and 2023, include paintings made in oil or acrylic on MDF, wood, ‘found’ wood, gesso panel, paper, canvas and occasionally linen. Each is distinctive for its style and for the recurring motifs Gordon selects such as masking tape, paper ephemera and repeated, subtly different studies of the same subject. Gordon’s texts describe how objects found mud larking on the banks of the River Thames, shoes from the London City Mission and rags and papers discarded from art students’ studios have been depicted in paintings, incorporating the histories and stories of each item (and each person) into his work. The book also features recent works influenced by rural landscapes and parkland.\n\nAn introduction by Julia Lucero, Associate Director of Nahmad Projects, London, emphasises the importance of nature and of meditation within Gordon’s practice. Specifically, Lucero brings out the idea of the ‘axis mundi, that metaphysical and mystical connecting point where heaven meets Earth’. She explores the significance of quodlibet, a seventeenth-century trompe-l’oeil painting technique that Gordon favours, rendering brushstrokes invisible and affording everyday objects new significance, even ‘profound value’. Humble objects such as a matchstick or paper aeroplane might be elevated to the realms of the divine.\n\nAn essay by Jorella Andrews, Professor of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London, describes the influence of Gordon’s time on a research residency in the former studio of Paul Cézanne at Les Lauves on the outskirts of Aix-en-Provence. His experiences there proved pivotal to the direction of his practice, in which both the ‘visual misdirection’ of quodlibet and the qualities of wood have become central. Andrews brings art historical texts and works of art into relation with Gordon’s paintings, making comparisons between subject, form and approach. Andrews’ text further details the recent synthesis of two sides of Gordon’s work: precise illusionism combined with looser observations made in the natural landscape.\n\nEdited by Alastair Gordon Studio, designed by Herman Lelie, printed by EBS Verona and published in 2023 by Anomie Publishing, London, the publication has been generously supported by Howard and Roberta Ahmanson...
