Paperscapes: London présente 53 des structures phares de la ville, de l'historique à la pointe de la technologie, avec des illustrations spécialement commandées et accompagnées d'un texte faisant autorité. Une fois que la carte autour des bâtiments a été retirée, il vous reste votre propre version de Londres à chérir et à afficher. Les 2000 ans d'histoire de Londres sont encore visibles dans le tissu de la ville aujourd'hui. Tour à tour à la pointe de la technologie, ancienne, frénétique, paisible, raffinée et graveleuse, cette ville de contrastes fascine les visiteurs depuis sa première colonisation. Les structures qui font la ville sont tout aussi contrastées - de l'élégant et imposant Shard au faste et à la splendeur du Royal Albert Hall, le style du milieu du siècle de 2 Willow Road au temple industriel de l'art Tate Des bâtiments modernes et magnifiquement conçus avec des histoires fascinantes se trouvent dans toutes les rues.

A whimsical and imaginative catalog of fantastical beasts and creatures of myth and legend from around the world-complete with a code that needs cracking to uncover the mystery of the monster atlas! One day a collection of very old maps is found in a dusty library. They show where in the world monsters and creatures from mythology and folklore can be found. According to the notes left with the maps, they were made by Cornelius Walters, an intrepid explorer from the 15th century. But did Walters really make these elaborate maps, or is it all a hoax? The librarian who discovered them is not certain . . . and what are the strange messages in a cryptic code that Walters records in his ship's log? The codes throughout, once cracked, may indeed lead to something sinister that will happen should the atlas ever be published! This is a gorgeously illustrated and comprehensive catalog of monsters, beasts, and mythical creatures from around the globe, with an easy-to-read format and incredible detail on each spread.
