When it comes to AI and work, there will be lots of turbulence, but also not endless abundance in that too many jobs may be lost to AI.

Formula 1: The Impossible Collection

Scented with notes of rubber, this edition offers a sensory connection to the racetrack, evoking the high-octane world of Formula 1. For the average reader, even driving a single lap of a Grand Prix would be impossible, but for the world’s twenty best racing drivers in the series’ ten teams, it is a way of life that is extreme in almost every facet. With the popularity of the Netflix series Drive to Survive, the premiere of the new film F1, and the seventy-fifth anniversary of Formula One, Assouline presents this new edition, updated to reflect recent developments such as the incredible domination of the Red Bull team.

This handcrafted Ultimate Collection volume chronicles the milestones that lifted Formula One from a gentlemen’s club in 1950 to a global sport with hundreds of millions of fans around the world.Highlighting exceptional technical innovations, remarkable drivers’ achievements and exciting race finishes, Formula 1: The Impossible Collection illuminates immortal names such as Juan Manuel Fangio, Bruce McLaren, Enzo Ferrari, Colin Chapman, Bernie Ecclestone, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Jean Todt, Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.
A spirited tribute to the sport and all those who have made it possible over the decades, this book dynamically illustrates the passion that fires the mechanics, technicians, engineers and team directors behind the scenes, and the drivers themselves, who are prepared to possibly pay the ultimate sacrifice to be part of its glorious history.

The biggest and most comprehensive volume on Steve McCurry published to date and the final word on forty years of McCurry's incredible work. Written and compiled by Bonnie McCurry, Steve's sister and President of the McCurry Foundation, Steve McCurry: A Life in Pictures is the ultimate book of McCurry's images and his approach to photography.

The book brings together all of McCurry's key adventures and influences, from his very first journalistic images taken in the aftermath of the 1977 Johnstown floods, to his breakthrough journey into Afghanistan hidden among the mujahideen, his many travels across India and Pakistan, his coverage of the destruction of the 1991 Gulf War and the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York, up to his most-recent work. Totalling over 350 images, the selection of photographs includes his best-known shots as well as over 100 previously unpublished images. Also included are personal notes, telegrams and visual ephemera from his travels and assignments, all accompanied by Bonnie McCurry's authoritative text - drawn from her unique relationship with Steve - as well as reflections from many of Steve’s friends and colleagues.

I’ll Be Back

It’s Arnold Schwarzenegger: bodybuilder, actor, politician, and fabulous photo subject

He’s a four-time Mr. Universe, seven-time Mr. Olympia. His films have grossed four billion dollars worldwide. He won the California governor’s race by a landslide. He has one of the most recognizable faces in the world, an oft-imitated accent, and a physique still heralded as the most perfect ever built. He’s Arnold, the one and only, with first name recognition worldwide, and now with a two-volume edition equal to his impressive size and unabashed ego.

A decade of collaboration in the making, this photo tribute covers 75 years of Schwarzenegger, from the future Terminator’s impoverished childhood in Thal, Austria, to his rise as a young athlete, his journey to America to become the most celebrated bodybuilder of all time, to his career as the world’s leading action film star, then into the California governor’s mansion and beyond.

Along the journey, Arnold’s muscular body, chiseled features, and charismatic personality made him a favorite subject of photographers, including Richard Avedon, Annie Leibovitz, Robert Mapplethorpe, Herb Ritts, Francesco Scavullo, and Andy Warhol. The big book includes them all, while the smaller companion volume gives you more intimate bodybuilding images, behind-the-scenes film stills, dozens of photos from Arnold’s personal archive, and exclusive interviews with Arnold and those who know him best, including directors Ivan Reitman and Bob Rafelson, and bodybuilding legends Franco Columbu, Dave Draper, and Frank Zane.

The Capitello edition comes with a unique book stand – a 1:2 scale reproduction of the iconic Capitello chair, famously created by Studio65 in 1971 and produced by Gufram. Its pop subversion of the classic Greek ionic capital and column is a fitting homage to the Greek ideal embodied by Arnold’s famous physique.

Capitello Edition (No. 101–500), numbered and signed by Arnold Schwarzenegger, with a Capitello book stand designed by Studio65.

In a sense, the decline of book reviews, like the decline of newspapers themselves, is a story about disaggregation.
