Title: Iz: Voice of the People

Description: Israel Kamakawiwo’ole: how many people know this name? What if I say “Over the rainbow/What a wonderful world” played with a ukulele? How many people don’t know this acoustic medley? Not many I guess. Israel Kamakawiwo’ole is the man who arranged and sung this beautiful interpretation and many more songs with his smooth and intense voice. His story is spread through the pages of this beautiful book with interviews, comments and more than 200 photos. A chance to get to know a man who meant so much for Hawaii, giving (as the title says) voice to the people by his songs and his strong love for his country. A man that was stronger than adversity and struggles, a man whose success was much more important in his personal life than in his carreer. After his death in 1997, as often happens, his voice and songs were heard all round the world but I think it’s better to remember the man and what he did during his intense life and this book is a perfect way to do it.

Title: Ali Rap

Description: “[Ali] would rap before they called it rap.” —Berry Gordy, Motown Founder This book contains over 300 rap rhythms, witticisms, insults, wisecracks, politically incorrect quips, courageous stands and words of inspiration from the mind, heart and soul of the brash young Cassius Clay, as he steadily grew into the magnificent man who is Muhammad Ali. From a narcissistic self-promoter who eventually became a man of enduring spirituality through a journey of formidable tests, Ali has emerged as a true superhero in the annals of American history, and the Worldwide Ambassador of Courage and Conviction. This fresh, first-person book serves as a hilarious and moving hands-on autobiography by Muhammad Ali, the intrepid man of action who spoke in soundbites, all wittily and powerfully visualized by the provocateur graphic designer, George Lois.

Title: Young asians designers

Description: When we think about the asian countries we surely think about booth the third world and the next economic world power. What we often miss is that Asia is also a big and creative design source. The new and young generations are coming out with ideas that will probably bring Asia to the leadership in this artistic field, also thanks to the fact that western people are more and more attracted by the that culture. What makes the asian designs innovative, is the mix between their old traditions and the modern market with the ability to always keep a perfect balance between them. In this way you find everyday objects re-designed as you’ve never seen before; a chair made in the shape of a butterfly, pillows like a keybord’s buttons or headphones holders made like a bone are just few of the many interesting artworks you can find in this book. Australian designers are mentioned too and represent an important chapter of the evolution, taking advantage of the proximity with the asian continent to manage together the western and the oriental, the old and the modern. Take a look at this book if you need to refresh your eyes and creative mind! Publisher: Daab Pagg. 399
