Heads and Tails looks at a selection of archaeological artifacts that have only very rarely been presented to a broader audience, presenting an impressive gallery of masterpieces of miniature sculpture, such as coins, medals, plaques and statuettes, in which man always takes pride of place. The perception and depiction of the human figure by artists of different periods, the development of artistic styles, and the close links between the iconographic repertoire and mythology, religion, history, literature and philosophy of the classical world are discussed by international specialists, among them Henry Maguire, a longtime associate of Dumbarton Oaks and currently Professor Emeritus in the History of Art department at Johns Hopkins University; and Maria Mavroudi, Professor in Byzantine Studies at the Department of History at UC Berkeley. The book accompanies a 2016 exhibition at The Pushkin Museum in Moscow.

An artist's book from Malaysian multimedia artist Simryn Gill (born 1959), Wormholes features subtle black-and-white photographs that trace the remains of life in a building that slowly and gradually turns to ruin.

A kaleidoscopic view of the work of Belgian graphic design firm VisionandfactoryVisionandfactory, established in 1990, has long played a prominent role in the Belgian and international graphic design scene. From its foundation, the studio has established a reputation for a rich culture of experimentation, an innovative combination of analog and digital techniques and an eagerness to tackle even the most difficult of projects. The studio's key figure is Hugo Puttaert (born 1960), designer, professor, editor, publisher and hugely influential figure in the design world. Think in Colour offers a selection of the firm's work, a kaleidoscopic view of Visionandfactory's output. Text from Pattaert not only contextualizes these selected works through insights into the studio's history and work processes, but also gives the reader a glimpse into his vision of design as a discipline and the social responsibility of the designer. With a split-fountain cover that reveals its color when touched and hundreds of full-color pages, this book illustrates Visionandfactory's motto--"Think in color."
