How can tomorrow ever be as good as yesterday? Boy doesn't think it can be and puts all his scientific knowledge to use, trying to work out how to go faster than the speed of light and make time go backwards. His grandad discovers him exploring the garden looking for wormholes, a possible shortcut back to yesterday and reassures him that tomorrow will hold great experiences, which will become new treasured memories. A powerful reminder to "seize the day". Nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal.

Extraits. Catalogue 1917. Hache. Si la révolution bouleverse le monde des objets, la hache, elle, demeure une valeur sûre. Elle ressortit pleinement à la tradition russe, notamment des assassinats. Le Raskolnikov de Dostoïevski avait bien tenté de renouveler le genre en tuant la vieille usurière de crime et châtiment à l'aide du méplat et non du tranchant, mais bon... Les voleurs assassinent leurs victimes à coups de hache, les victimes tuent les voleurs à l'aide du même instrument. (Voir également rubrique "outillage", catalogue 1919). Catalogue 1922. Bas. En fil d'Ecosse ou en soie, les bas sont le rêve obsessionnel des femmes. On peut avoir une femme pour trois roubles" ou une paire de bas, écrira en 1930 Panteleïmon Romanov, dans son roman intitulé Le camarade Kisliakov ou trois paires de bas de soie. Catalogue 1918. Machines à écrire. Ecrivains, ne rêvez pas ! Si vous n'êtes pas déjà détenteur d'une machine à écrire, vous n'en trouverez pas actuellement. Cela ne signifie pas qu'il n'y en ait pas, mais elles sont réservées à d'autres tâches et se trouvent dans des bureaux bien particuliers. on y rédige principalement des ordres de réquisition et d'arrestation.

Space Packed: The Architecture of Alfred Neumann is the first critical monograph on the work of the Austrian-born modernist architect Alfred Neumann (1900-1968). Based on an exploration of his writings and a close study of his built and unbuilt projects, it unveils and analyses Neumann's approach to architecture in the context of post-war modernism and the establishment of the State of Israel from 1948 onwards. Rafi Segal's book brings to attention again this highly significant, yet largely forgotten figure who contributed vastly to establishing modernism in Israel and who had a lasting impact on the new country's architectural culture. At his time, Neumann was equally renowned and controversial for his original designs that differed from modernist mainstream. Space Packed is divided into four chapters that discuss the development of Neumann's architectural theories, methodologies, and built work during the 1950s and 1960s, against the backdrop of contemporary architectural discourse and the nation-building demands of the new state of Israel. It also features a chronologically-organised and illustrated catalogue of Neumann's buildings and designs, including a vast number of previously unpublished photographs, drawings and sketches.

"About Time: Fashion and Duration" traces the evolution of fashion, from 1870 to the present, through a linear timeline of iconic garments, each paired with an alternate design that jumps forward or backward in time. These unexpected pairings, which relate to one another through shape, motif, material, pattern, technique, or decoration, create a disruptive fashion chronology that conflates notions of past, present, and future. Virginia Woolf serves as "ghost narrator", and excerpts from her novels reflect on the passage of time with each subsequent pairing. A new short story by Michael Cunningham, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for The Hours, recounts a day in the life of a woman over a time span of 150 years through her changing fashions. Scholar Theodore Martin analyzes theoretical responses to the nature of time, underscoring that time is not simply a sequence of historical events. Fashion photographer Nicholas Alan Cope captures 120 fashions with sublime black and white photography. This stunning book reveals fashion's paradoxical connection to linear notions of time.
