    Proto Vernacular

    ‘Proto Vernacular’ is both art object and architectural meditation, a richly visual and philosophical publication by Pezo von Ellrichshausen. It explores architecture’s most primordial tension, tracing the shift from anonymous building traditions to authored design. Bringing together “Vernacular” drawings (pencil studies of archetypal buildings) and “Proto” paintings, the book reflects on origins, repetition, and architecture’s desire to return to a “first” state. A thoughtful text on the making of Luna House reveals how seclusion, material necessity, and the interruptions of daily life shape architectural thought. The book also features essays by Hans Ibelings and Pezo von Ellrichshausen.

    Jules Verne and the Invention of the Future

    “Fascinating. … Engaging. … Drake’s story is both dramatic and timely.” — New York Times Book Review, Editors’ Choice, on In Search of a Kingdom “A dramatic tale of discovery. ... A comprehensive look at Drake, in all his contradictions. ... A lively and compelling history of a man whose blend of audacity, piety and cruelty changed the world.” — San Francisco Chronicle on In Search of a Kingdom “Vivid. … Entrancing. ... The accounts of Drake’s circumnavigation and his subsequent naval career are very good indeed. They will surely delight aficionados of imperial history and anyone keen on real-life adventure stories.” — Wall Street Journal on In Search of a Kingdom “Prodigious research, sure-footed prose and vivid descriptions make for a thoroughly satisfying account... it is all here in the wondrous detail, a first-rate historical page turner.” — New York Times Book Review on Over the Edge of the World “Bergreen’s vivid account benefits from extensive research and his own navigation of the Strait of Magellan and other key parts of the route.
