An authoritative chronicle of the history and evolution of skateboard design from 1950 to the present day. From its starting point as a simple wooden plank to the high-tech models of today, the skateboard has undergone a dramatic evolution. Skateboard explores the golden eras of skateboarding through over 100 boards that brought about turning points in the sport’s history. Across six thematic chapters, organized chronologically by decade, the book focuses on the materials, designs, and events that have defined the art, sport, and culture of skateboarding. Developed in close collaboration with Converse – a brand engrained in skateboarding culture since its inception – Skateboard is packed with information and insights about the people and events that have shaped the sport, with more than 300 illustrations spanning newly studio-shot and historical images that fully capture the skateboard’s technical, makeup and structural development across time. Each board featured in the book – from the 1963 Skee-Skate to the 1989 Mike Vallely pro model – is photographed to scale, allowing the reader to gauge the board’s individual flair and size in relation to its counterparts, and accompanied by engaging text from author, designer, and former skater Jonathan Olivares. Pro models of iconic skaters such as Laura Thornhill, Ray ‘Bones’ Rodriquez, Tony Hawk, Natas Kaupas, and Mike Vallely are also brought to life in a selection of archival action shots. Skateboard features an introduction by Paul 'Professor' Schmitt and an epilogue by legendary pro skaters Lance Mountain and Tommy Guerrero.

Crime and Punishment focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in St. Petersburg who formulates and executes a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her cash. Raskolnikov, in attempts to defend his actions, argues that with the pawnbroker's money he can perform good deeds to counterbalance the crime, while ridding the world of a vermin. He also commits the murder to test a theory of his that dictates some people are naturally capable of such actions, and even have the right to perform them. Several times throughout the novel, Raskolnikov compares himself with Napoleon Bonaparte and shares his belief that murder is permissible in pursuit of a higher purpose.

This book is about stories of archives. By delving into bak.ma, a digital media archive born out of the social movements in Turkey, we are guided through a journey in which archives become sites of other kinds of stories: ones that involve solidarity, activism, and the commons. Author Özge Çelikaslan uses the concept of archives of the commons to reimagine archives as spaces of commoning in which creative, autonomous, platforms are generated collectively to perpetuate knowledge and sociopolitical relations grounded in solidarity and an ethics of care – not in some distant future, but in the here and now. With contributions by Thomas Keenan and Pelin Tan.

Nuevo volumen de la colección de catálogos razonados del Museo del Prado, tras El Greco, Pintura holandesa, Las miniaturas en el Museo del Prado y Luca Giordano. Este catálogo estudia las pinturas realizadas en los Países Bajos durante el siglo XV que custodia el Museo del Prado, incluyendo las de artistas activos en el XVI pero vinculados con el quehacer del siglo anterior. Se trata de un momento trascendente para la cultura artística occidental, que alumbra la obra de creadores revolucionarios, como Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden o el Maestro de Flémalle, la de los maestros que siguieron su estela, como Dirk Bouts, Hans Memling o Hugo van der Goes, y la de otros autores de menos fama pero de producción igualmente notable. La pintura flamenca temprana es célebre no solo por su delicadeza técnica e intensidad narrativa, sino por la dificultad que entraña interpretar los asuntos representados. Además, la ausencia de documentación cierta sobre sus creadores, de muchos de los cuales se ignora hasta su identidad, y la escasez de datos sobre las propias obras, hacen que su estudio sea uno de los más complejos pero también más atractivos de la historia del arte. Esta publicación actualiza el conocimiento de esas obras y sus autores en el Museo. Se catalogan creaciones individuales, trípticos completos o escenas fragmentarias de unos veinte artistas, de quienes se ofrece una sucinta biografía con sus obras seguras y clave para atribuir las que se examinan, sean estas autógrafas, de taller o de seguidores. A los datos y el análisis histórico y artístico de cada una se añade un exhaustivo estudio técnico, fundamental para precisar conclusiones, incluyendo la revisión de atribuciones tradicionales y la propuesta de la más certera autoría para pinturas que hasta hoy se tenían por anónimas. Su autor, José Juan Pérez Preciado, técnico del Museo en el Área de Pintura Flamenca y Escuelas del Norte, ha llevado a cabo este trabajo en colaboración con el Gabinete Técnico y Laboratorio del Museo y con la asesoría científica de Lorne Campbell, reconocido experto en la pintura de los Países Bajos, que escribe la introducción sobre el temprano interés que esas bellas creaciones despertaron en España.
