The Life, Death and Legacy of Jon Nödtveidt and Dissection. (S. Monleón). Denna biografi skildrar Jon Nödtveidt, ledare för Dissection, vars två arv formade extremmetal och ockult filosofi. Musikaliskt förenade han 90-talets Death och Black Metal i en unik stil helgad åt satanism, där musik och ideologi smälte samman. Andligt levde han efter sina esoteriska övertygelser med fullständig äkthet, och lämnade ett bestående avtryck både i musiken och den mörka filosofi han omfamnade. 240 sidor, Inbunden bok.

Good homes are places where lives can unfold, families grow up, dogs jump on sofas, friends share your hospitality. They should also be places where you can find some solitude a quiet corner to read a book, have a Saturday afternoon nap. In short, they need to be able to sustain you, inspire you and tell your story thanks to their architecture, use of materials and contents.<br/><br/>These are the attributes that Monocle has always celebrated when covering residences in its design and architecture pages whether featuring a city bolthole, a modernist seaside residence or a summer outpost in a forest. Now Monocle is bringing this all together in one book that explores individual homes, housing projects old and new, communities of self-builders, even whole neighbourhoods where a simple philosophy of building well has created quality of life for many. Monocle has also recruited key thinkers, writers and designers to share their perspectives in a series of fascinating essays.<br/><br/><i>The Monocle Book of Homes</i> is packed with great photography that delivers the bigger picture and also offers a focus on the smallest details. This is a book that could change how you live.
