Five years in the making, Pentagram: Living by Design is an
in-depth survey of the group from its beginnings in 1970s London to
its current status as one of the powerhouses of international
design. Pentagram: Living by Design (two volumes) is the definitive
statement on 50 years of Pentagram. This is an in-depth survey of
the group from its beginnings in 1970s London to its current status
as one of the powerhouses of international design. Book one, The
Biography, offers a comprehensive analysis of the group, its
partners, its achievements, its multidisciplinary approach, and its
unique business model. This is accompanied by a plethora of images
(some never published), a visual essay of Pentagram’s work across
four main sectors, a selection of partners writings, a Pentagram
family tree, and much more. Book two, The Directory, has profiles
of 50 partners, past and present, accompanied by extensive coverage
of their work. It’s a stellar roll call: from the five famous
founders to some of the most celebrated names in contemporary
design. It also includes a list of everyone who worked in the
firm’s various offices. Both books are designed by Tony Brook and
the Spin design team and use a range of paper stocks and special
colours.
A story of courage, perseverance, and patriotism behind the 75th
Ranger Regiment's rescue mission following one of the deadliest
Special Ops incidents in Afghanistan-a grueling search for twelve
Navy SEAL casualties and eight downed Night Stalkers . . . but just
one lone survivor On June 28th, 2005, a four-man Navy SEAL
reconnaissance team under Operation Red Wings was ambushed in
northeastern Afghanistan-as depicted in the book and film Lone
Survivor. A quick reaction force was dispatched. Turbine 33,
carrying eight Navy SEALs and eight members of the 160th Special
Operations Aviation Regiment, was struck by a rocket propelled
grenade-careening the dual rotor Chinook toward the rugged peak of
Sawtalo Sar. The result was the single deadliest incident in
Special Operations history at the time. Commanders called on the
largest element of US Special Forces, the 75th Ranger Regiment. The
rescue mission: Operation Red Wings II. Author Tony Brooks gives a
first-hand account of the daring recovery of Turbine 33 and the
subsequent search for the remaining compromised Navy SEAL recon
team-one of whom was Marcus Luttrell, the lone survivor. The
Rangers were up against lack of intel, treacherous terrain, violent
weather, and an enemy that was raised to fight. Tony Brooks
lived-and many of his fellow Rangers died-by the axiom, "Leave No
Man Behind." He is the first to tell the story other books and
films have omitted, one of overcoming overwhelming odds to
accomplish a mission: to bring every American soldier home.
