There’s Santa Claus, Shakespeare, Mickey Mouse, the Bible, & then there’s Star Wars. Nothing quite compares to sitting down with a young child & hearing the sound of John Williams’s score as those beloved golden letters fill the screen. In this fun, erudite, & often moving book, Cass R. Sunstein explores the lessons of Star Wars as they relate to childhood, fathers, the Dark Side, rebellion, & redemption. As it turns out, Star Wars also has a lot to teach us about constitutional law, economics, & political uprisings.

In rich detail, Sunstein tells the story of the films’ wildly unanticipated success & explores why some things succeed while others fail. Ultimately, Sunstein argues, Star Wars is about freedom of choice & our never-ending ability to make the right decision when the chips are down. Written with buoyant prose & considerable heart, The World According to Star Wars shines a bright new light on the most beloved story of our time.

The World Atlas Of Street Art And Graffiti

Since its genesis on the East Coast of the United States in the late 1960s, street art has travelled to nearly every corner of the globe, morphing into highly ornate and vibrant new styles. From Steve Powers (Espo) in New York to Kid Zoom in Australia, taking in Banksys London, Paris as transfigured by Honet and OX, and the gargantuan murals of the Brazilian twins ?Os G?meos?, The World Atlas of Street Art and Graffiti is the first truly geographical history of the form. Featuring specially commissioned works from major graffiti and street art practitioners, The World Atlas of Street Art and Graffiti offers the reader an insiders view of the urban landscape as the artists themselves experience it. This beautifully illustrated book, produced with the help of many of the
artists it features, dispels the idea of such art as a thoughtless defacement of pristine surfaces, and instead celebrates it as a contemporary and highly creative inscription upon the skin of the built environment. Organized geographically, by continent and by city ? from New York, Los Angeles and Montreal in North America, through Mexico City and Buenos Aires in Latin America, to London, Berlin and Madrid in Europe, as well as Sydney and Tokyo in the Pacific ? it profiles more than 100 of todays most important artists and features over 700 astonishing artworks.
