Mead's anthropological examination of seven Pacific island tribes analyzes the dynamics of primitive cultures to explore the evolving meaning of "male" and "female" in modern American society. On its publication in 1949, the New York Times declared, "Dr. Mead's book has come to grips with the cold war between the sexes and has shown the basis of a lasting sexual peace." This edition, prepared for the centennial of Mead's birth, features introductions by Helen Fisher and Mead's daughter, Mary Catherine Bateson. Male & Female remains an extraordinary document of great relevance, while Mead's research methods and fieldwork offer a blueprint for scholars in future generations.

The Beatles illustrated lyrics

The Beatles have been a part of our lives for almost four decades. Expressing the spirit of their times, their influence crossed social barriers in addition to the boundaries of art, fashion and music. The masterpiece album Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band captured a moment in musical history and lifted pop music to a new level of artistic achievement. The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics is the only collection of its kind. Originally published in two volumes in 1969 and 1971, it has become a symbol of an era. Specially commissioned illustrations and photographs by internationally famous artists reflect the surreal and psychedelic world the Beatles lived in and show what an immense influence the 'greatest band of all time' had on the syle of their generation.

Vogue Living Thirty-six spectacular houses and gardens—whose owners come from the worlds of fashion, music, art, and society—accompanied with stories by Hamish Bowles, Joan Juliet Buck, Julia Reed, Marina Rust, and Vicki Woods, who take us behind the scenes to give an intimate view of the owners and how they live. Madonna’s romantic retreat in the depths of the English countryside and the Oscar de la Rentas’ coral-stone Palladian mansion in the Dominican Republic; Michael and Eva Chows’ epic Los Angeles manse and shoe maestro Christian Louboutin’s magical houseboat on the Nile; legendary tastemaker Marella Agnelli’s enchanted villa and gardens in the Palmeraie of Marrakesh; Julian and Olatz Schnabel’s downtown loft; Janet de Botton’s idyllic Provençal estate; and four decades of Karl Lagerfeld’s endlessly surprising houses, both innovative and palatial. World In Vogue Here are photographs of some of the most celebrated actors, artists, models, First Ladies, and social figures, and pieces by Paul Rudnick, Truman Capote, Francis Wyndham, Jeffrey Steingarten, Gloria Steinem, Michael Specter, and Jonathan Van Meter, who tell you the stories behind these figures. Truman Capote writes about cruising the Yugoslavian coast with Lee Radziwill and the Agnellis; Gloria Steinem reports on the 540 masked partygoers at the Black and White Ball that Capote threw for Katharine Graham at the Plaza hotel; there are stories on gardens from East Hampton to Corfu designed by landscape architect Miranda Brooks; Inès de La Fressange’s apartment in Paris; the gardens of Valentino’s seventeenth-century Château de Wideville, outside Paris; the designers, the best-dressed, and the stars at the annual Costume Institute party at the Metropolitan Museum; Mick Jagger and his family in Mustique, and much more. Vogue Weddings Peek at the weddings and wedding dresses of royalty, social figures, models, artists, actors, musicians, and designers. There are grand social and royal weddings in storied castles, palaces, and cathedrals to more rustic weddings by the sea or in the countryside.
