20th Century Design Icon Series Taschen
 Dietrich by Malene Skoerved, Marlene Dietrich lived and loved with unconventional passion. Of her allure, Kenneth Tynan wrote: "She has sex, but no particular gender. Her masculinity appeals to women, and her sexuality to men." In life, on stage, and on film, her roles ranged widely, from the promiscuous temptress to the loving mother and innocent girl. An icon of the 20th century, her public legend became so important to her that she spent her last decade in total seclusion, rather than allow her audience to witness her decline. The Life & Times series tells the stories of those who have shaped our present and our past, from Beethoven to Curie, Dietrich to Wilde. Offering expert, eminently readable texts by distinguished authors, these handsomely designed books feature chronologies, full indices, and striking color photos and illustrations. Together, they form a superb modern library of biography.
 Icons of Design: The 20th Century What do Bic pens, Zippo lighters, Barbie dolls, and compact discs have in common? They're everywhere, including between the covers of this stunning collection of design objects, such as furniture, appliances, cars, and toys, which have transcended their everyday utility to achieve iconic status over the course of the twentieth century. Each item is examined in colorful two-page spreads, which include illustrations of its use, a brief biography of the designer, and other fascinating sidebar information illuminating our contemporary design culture. In addition, an introductory essay explains how an object becomes an icon and outlines the method the editors--a collection of internationally renowned design historians--used to select their subjects. Filled with photographs, this beautifully produced flexi-cover volume offers new ways to see and appreciate the things we use everyday.
