From typographic illustrator Marian Bantjes, I Wonder will make you think in new ways about art, design, beauty, and popular culture. This unique presentation features the elaborately crafted word pictures of Marian Bantjes, the most inventive and creative typographic illustrator of our time. Whether intricately hand-drawn or using computer illustration software, Bantjes's work crosses the boundaries of time, style, and technology. There is, however, another side to Bantjes's visual work: her thoughtful treatises on art, design, beauty, and popular culture that add a deeper dimension to the decorative nature of her best-known work. These reflections cover the cult of Santa, road-side advertising, photography and memory, the alphabet's letterforms, heraldry, and stars. Bantjes's writing style ranges from the playful to the confrontational, but it is always imbued with perspicacity, insight, and a sense of fun. Intended to inspire creatives of any persuasion, this is more than a collection of ideas: Bantjes has meticulously illustrated every page of the book in her inimitable style to create an accessible work of art that is far greater than the sum of its parts. Quirky, poignant, astute, funny--this beautiful book presents a compelling collection of observations on visual culture and design. In Stefan Sagmeister's telling words, Bantjes's work is his "favorite example of beauty facilitating the communication of meaning." This paperback edition is expanded with a new essay from the author.

Wonder has been celebrated as the quintessential passion of childhood. From the earliest stages of our intellectual history, it has been acclaimed as the driving force of inquiry and the prime passion of thought. Yet for an emotion acknowledged so widely for the multiple roles it plays in our lives, wonder has led a singularly shadowy existence in recent reflections. Philosophers have largely passed it over in silence; emotion theorists have shunned it as a case that sits awkwardly within their analytical frameworks. So what is wonder, and why does it matter? In this book, Sophia Vasalou sketches a "grammar" of wonder that pursues the complexities of wonder as an emotional experience that has carved colorful tracks through our language and our intellectual history, not only in philosophy and science but also in art and religious experience. A richer grammar of wonder and broader window into its past can give us the tools we need for thinking more insightfully about wonder, and for reflecting on the place it should occupy within our emotional lives.

This heartwarming picture book reassures children that a parent’s love never lets go—based on the poignant lyrics of JJ Heller’s beloved lullaby “Hand to Hold.” “May the living light inside you be the compass as you go / May you always know you have my hand to hold.” With delightful illustrations and an engaging rhyme scheme, this book offers the promise of security and love every child’s heart longs to know. From skipping stones and counting stars to climbing trees and telling stories, every moment is wrapped snugly in the certain warmth of a parent’s presence and God’s blessing. With poignancy and joy, this bedtime read captures the unconditional love parents want their children to know but so often fail to express amid the chaos of daily life.

"Daniel Strasel’s THE TERRORS OF WONDER is perhaps one of the quirkiest books I’ve encountered in this year’s contest, and certainly one of the most original. A mere summary of the plot (someone is trying to steal a young heiress’s inheritance) doesn’t do justice to the book’s odd structure: it’s made up of narrative, graphs, charts, footnotes, and appendices. All of this helps to lend the book a sense of verisimilitude—we feel as though we’re reading a collection of documents about an actual event. Strasel calls the book a tragicomedy, and it in fact is: there’s a great deal of humor in the book, but it’s about rather a serious topic. Much of the writing is quite good, and the verve of the book comes from its structural oddities. Strasel is to be applauded for the innovation of his work, and the sheer imaginative guts and playfulness with which he’s infused his book." Judge, 25th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards * * * A tragicomedy ∆ rife with symbols, savants, and satire, The Terrors of Wonder reads in the spirit of science fiction. * * * One of the world’s most prominent heiresses is about to celebrate her 3rd birthday. A well-mannered and very precocious child, she is a delight to her parents and their entire household. Every year a party of historic proportions is thrown, this year the largest celebration yet. The party, now as before, is being held in the statistically safest country in the world. As many gather from around the globe, however, a series of curious crimes slowly begin to disrupt the regular tranquility. These crimes have been designed to–among other things–rob this girl of her inheritance, placing enough power to rattle the world into eager and willing hands. Yet, as a consequence of these crimes, someone else begins stalking the girl…someone with an even darker purpose. * * * A plateful of truth, leadership, and identity, all seasoned with tragedy; served with a glass of comedy to wash it down. This 316 page volume includes maps, art, footnotes, appendices, and more. ∆ Tra·gi·com·e·dy A style of literature or play that blends aspects of both tragic and comic forms.
