This Book is what it says -- a remix of Lewis Blackwell's critically acclaimed Twentieth-Century Type. Analysing, editing and augmenting his own text and choice of images, Blackwell provides a radically new assessment of the cutting-edge culture of typographicled design in the late twentieth century. This book challenges the concept of how typographic communication works today, but in doing so strengthen its ties with the traditions of the past. An introductory essay shows how current creative trends are simply part of the continuum of change that can be plotted from the turn of the last century to the turn of the next. Strong illustrated intersection dividers, specially commissioned from leading designers, set the scene for each chapter, or decade, and the space devoted to the 90s has been substantially expanded. Twentieth Century Type Remix is essential reference for anyone actively involved in the graphic design process.

„Wer Bäume pflanzt, pflanzt Hoffnung”, beginnt Lewis Blackwell seinen eindrucksvollen Bildband. Bäume sind lebensnotwendig, da sie die Hälfte aller Kreaturen nähren und uns mit Sauerstoff versorgen. Sie bieten Schutz und sind eine Quelle der Inspiration. Blackwell beleuchtet unsere Beziehung zu Bäumen und erläutert deren Bedeutung für unser Leben sowie ihren Einfluss auf Kultur und Lebensraum. Er berichtet über faszinierende Aspekte ihrer Welt, von den größten Arten bis hin zu besonderen Symbiosen. Der Leser wird auf eine Reise von tropischen Regenwäldern zu arktischen Nadelwäldern mitgenommen und lernt die ältesten und einfallsreichsten Bäume kennen. Mythen, Legenden und historische Details werden ebenso behandelt wie die Wahrnehmung von Bäumen durch Dichter und Schriftsteller. Neben informativen Fakten vermittelt das Buch vor allem ein Gefühl für die Atmosphäre und den Zauber, den Bäume ausstrahlen. Unterstützt von einzigartigen Fotos herausragender Naturfotografen wird dieser Bildband zu einem visuellen Gedicht. Blackwell betont zudem die Dringlichkeit, unsere Beziehung zu den Bäumen zu überdenken und Verantwortung für diese wichtigen Partner zu übernehmen.
