For første gang præsenteres denne del af velfærdsstatens udviklingshistorie med eksempler både på arkitektoniske mesterværker og anonyme, men velbyggede statslånshuse fra hele landet. For selv om vi måske ikke er bevidste om det, så har vi alle sammen set et, været i et – eller måske bor vi endda i et af dem. De er en del af vores kulturarv.Bogen er skrevet af arkitekturhistoriker Jannie Rosenberg Bendsen og arkitekt Dorthe Bendtsen. Førstnævnte har udgivet Fredet – Bygningsfredning i Danmark 1918 til i dag, Bellahøj – Fortællinger om en bebyggelse og senest Tingbjerg – vision og virkelighed. Kunst- og arkitekturfotograf Anders Sune Berg står bag bogens billedside.

Hvilken slags familie gemte for 5.000 år siden halve æbler så godt, at vi stadig har dem i dag? Hvad afslører guldkrus, teglsten, globusser, barnekister, om danskernes liv og tanker gennem årtusinderne?Følg med museumsdirektør Rane Willerslev, når han sammen med Nationalmuseets forskere tager os med på en medrivende rejse op gennem Danmarkshistorien.Fortællingen om danskerne handler om opfindelser, opdagelser og overraskende vendepunkter – og herfor første gang fortalt gennem de genstande, vores forfædre har efterladt os.Oplev, hvad 50 udvalgte fund og spor– fra oldtiden til i dag – afslører om fortidens fattigfolk og bedsteborgere og den stadigt skiftende verden, de både påvirkede og måtte indrette sig efter. Vi kommer tæt på konflikter og kamp for overlevelse, men også de nære dage i det Danmark, vi alle er rundede af: i familien, på gården, i byernes gader.En fascinerende fortælling, hvor Rane Willerslev og Nationalmuseets forskerhold for første gang inviterer læseren til at se på kendte og ukendte museumsgenstande, som de gør: Bærere af historien om os.

Da Notre-Dame brændte, blev Ken Follett så berørt, at hans straks rejste til Paris. Han blev af sin franske forlægger opfordret til at skrive denne lille bog om Notre-Dames historie og betydning, både faktuelt og kulturhistorisk. Ken Folletts kæmpe bestseller "Jordens søjler" handler om bygningen af en fiktiv katedral i England, og arbejdet med denne bog gjorde forfatteren til en slags ekspert i bygning af katedraler i Middelalderen. "Notre-Dame" fortæller om bygningen af den franske katedral, som på en måde aldrig er blevet færdigt, og den fortæller om Notre-Dames betydning i kulturhistorien, tænk bare "Klokkeren fra Notre-Dame". Bogen er gribende, morsom og vildt fascinerende - og alle Folletts honorarer går til genopbygningen.

København er en ægte broby. Her er alle de gamle broer, en lang række nye fra 2000’erne, og flere er på vej. Derfor er det på tide med en status. Broerne i København viser rundt til mere end 25 af hovedstadens utallige broer – over havneløbet og de forskellige kanaler og til en lang række broer inde på land. Både de gamle og de nye. Vi skal over mange steder på gåben, på cykel, i bil eller bus, over vand og over land eller jernbane. Peter Olesen er ikke bange for at sige sin mening: Han roser de nye broer for at lege med lyset, når mørket bryder frem. Og han efterlyser samtidig en bedre skiltning ved den enkelte bro med navn og byggeår. Peter Olesen fortæller med lune og entusiasme om broerne og deres historie. Her er historier og fakta for alle, der elsker at opleve hovedstaden fra nye sider. Bogen er illustreret med Henrik Bjerregravs smukke fotos, der lader os opleve hovedstaden og dens mange broer på kryds og tværs og på alle timer af døgnet.

Nye inspirationskort til arbejdet med innovation og design, især til samarbejde mellem forskellige parter i kreativt udviklingsarbejde på uddannelser og i virksomheder, vil ”synliggøre nye fremtidsmuligheder” ifølge professor Poul Rind Christensen fra Institut for Entreprenørskab og Relationsledelse. Kortene er udviklet af den danske designer og forsker Silje Kamille Friis, og ingen ringere end Don Norman fra The Design Lab ved University of California priser metodekortenes praktiske anvendelighed: ”These Co-Creation cards provide cues, probes, and inspiration for the four design stages of Collection (of knowledge about the existing situation), Comprehension, Conceptualisation, and Creation; the stages are repeatedly iterated until the final result is achieved. The activities of designing are most often done in groups, within which the diversity of individuals offers a rich source of ideas, creativity, and differing points of view, as well as tension, miscommunication, and disarray. This is the stage of Collaboration, often left out in design teaching. These Co-Creation Cards provide a strong contribution to students and professional practitioners both in creating new solutions and in helping collaborators to take advantage of diversity while avoiding its pitfalls. Highly recommended.”

Med mere end 400 flotte fotos og helt nye tegninger samt beskrivelser af 40 huse fortæller FRIIS&MOLTKE HUSENE historien om, hvordan arkitektparret Friis og Moltke skabte økonomiske og æstetiske huse til en bred skare borgere i Danmark, fra fx skolelærere, bagere til akademikere mellem 1950 og ind i ’70erne. Bogen viser, hvordan husene blev skabt med billige materialer og som genbrug af gamle bygninger og hvordan de blev tilpasset deres omgivelser i en tid med mangel på byggematerialer og boliger ligesom vi har det i dag.Flere af husene har aldrig været publiceret tidligere ligesom bogen om Friis&Moltkes enfamiliehuse altid har manglet på hylderne over moderne dansk arkitektur.Forfatter Marianne Ibler skriver klart og appellerende til alle boliginteresserede også den helt forudsætningsløse, og bogen er en hyldest til noget af det smukkeste i dansk bolighistorie.Flot Hardback bog, str. 220x220 mm208 sider.

En gåtur gennem København kan foregå på mange måder. Man kan ile af sted uden øje for sine omgivelser. Eller man kan slentre gennem gaderne, kigge lidt på vinduer og mennesker, dumpe ned på en café, lade øjnene vandre fra bygninger til folk til optrin. Helt tilfældigt, herligt afslappende. Og endelig kan man gå en tur med Allan Mylius Thomsen. Læser man bare en af de mange artikler, der i flere år har været bragt i lørdagsudgaverne af Jyllands-Posten København, og som nu er samlet i denne bog, bliver næste tur rundt i København en anden og større oplevelse.Allan Mylius Thomsen (f. 1948) er dansk forfatter og byhistoriker og har udgivet en lang række bøger om Københavns historie. Oprindeligt er Allan Mylius Thomsen uddannet manuskriptforfatter fra Filmskolen, og han har siden hen lavet radio- og tv-udsendelser samt været guide på Dyrehavsbakken og på byvandringer i det historiske København.

Bogens tre bind gennemgår omfanget af pompejansk udsmykkede interiører i private boliger og offentlige bygninger i Danmark i perioden fra 1830 til ca. 1890.De tre bind indeholder sammenlagt mere end 900 illustrationer, heraf langt de fleste i farver. Her præsenteres kunstnernes farvelagte dekorationsudkast, fremragende eksempler på periodens billedkunst, ældre fotografier af nu forsvundne ejendomme og dekorationer, samt fotografen Ole Akhøjs mange pragtfulde nyoptagelser af de bevarede udsmykninger fra perioden.Denne dekorationshistoriens storhedstid udfolder sig på baggrund af danske kunstneres og arkitekters studierejser til Italien, hvor de hentede ny inspiration ved udgravningsstederne i Napolibugtens forsvundne antikke byer og det kejserlige paladsbyggeri. Samtidigt vågnede de liberale og senere de nationalliberale frihedsbevægelser i Danmark, som afsluttede det enevældige kongedømme og skabte et konstitutionelt kongedømme, et folkeligt demokrati og en frihedsforsvarende grundlov. Disse to væsentlige hovedstrømninger i perioden – populært kaldet den danske guldalder – forenes i en kunstart, som beriger privatboligen med dekorationer og kunst, og opløfter de offentlige institutioner rundt om i landet med den "antikke" ånd. Alle tre bind introducerer hvert årti med en Danmarkshistorisk ramme, hvori også kunstnernes egen rolle beskrives, ligesom deres kamp for liberale reformer på Kunstakademiet og for oprettelsen af en skole for dekorationskunsten.Læs mere på forlagets hjemmeside www.rhodos.dk
